  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

Love it. Maybe the club can come out with a 'lurker's membership pass', where you are allowed to go as far as the inside race of the G and peep through the gate :)

Respect

I have been lucky in that I have been in the rooms at MFC. I can say that the players feel everything supporters do when they lose. And they have been out there playing and getting crunched. Me I get hot dogs.

If a song were to sum up the end of an MFC season it would be this.

Long, drawn out and melancholy.

Is it just me, or does anyone else really, really, REALLY want to punch Ben Brown in the face?

I know what you mean Lamashtu, but I'd prefer to give it to Brad Scott.

Well, it could've been worse. We got to see some decent play here and there. Dawes got himself suspended which is nice. Shows a little intent. Watts would be fine if he had a force field so nobody could touch him. He never has a problem as long as they don't put their hands on him. Kent played his best quarter ever. McDonald kicked his first two goals in the AFL. We may have topped our "worst pass for the year" board.

As I say, could've been worse.

Why did Barry replace young Salem ?

Salem had been feeling a bit 'off' and was ill during the warm up.

Mitchie and Kent were good tonight.

Liked the way Kent looked for an option in the f50 instead of blazing away.

Said it twice cause he did it twice in the last qrt and congrats Macca for kicking your first two goals.

So, looking forward...

Next year we may well see the debut of a hard-at-it young mid by the name of Harmes, and possibly even a lightning quick winger called Hunt. Both have shown god signs playing for Casey and with the benefit of a full pre-season and a few more kilo's of muscle should be ready to show their stuff.

We should also see the debut of an highly anticipated Hulk in round 1.

Coupled with this, there is every chance that we'll be seeing the return of a few quality ball-users who have had injury issues his year, so with luck the delivery to Hogan will be better than the crud we saw this year.

There will be a number of new faces around the club, hopefully a couple of experienced playmakers to balance the inside mids we seem to have stockpiled.

With a bit of luck Salem will have the legs to impact games and JKH will improve on a stellar first season.

Let's hope that next year things start to turn a bit more in our favour.

Too soon Ralph we r still wallowing in this enjoyable season which has just ended.

No need for any positives for next season thanks!

i was told we would have a brand of footy to identify with, Roos lied, he failed as a coach terribly, what he allowed to happen will prove to be much more damaging than our tanking dramas, to allow Frawley & Watts to play out the season with that i don't give a sh!t attitude just so they can hold there value has damaged our brand even further & will set us back for years to come, luckily they will never wear our colours again but i have lost a lot of respect for Roos, Shame.

Thought we played ok too....we just need to clean up those turnovers from skill errors.

Loved Jetta and Fitzys game.

Shame we are going to start next season without Dawes, but Hogan and Fitzy in the forward line will do nicely.....and maybe Mitch Clark by some miracle.

Add another three or four better skilled recruits ala, Vince, Tyson and Cross, and give Viney,Michie, Kent , Toumpas, Salem and JKh another preseason, and we should improve more next year.

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.
