  • 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.

Did the Essendon runners have water bottles or IV drips?

We win!

Cheers to all

Thanks to organisers

Clearly with a settled coaching set up and without recourse to any....supplemental ingredients other than guts and determination we prevailed

Good question, have we ever been beaten Rollo ?

Never in doubt and well done to all concerned.

Cheers, gsmith... :wub:

! think we have now won 13 out of 14...

We lost to sainsational about 6 years ago when we turned up with 11 players...

that's when we decided to get organised...

bomberblitz have copied our methods, so I expect their first win against us can't be far away...

Ugly, congested game on a small oval with no goal posts.

Credit to ucanchoose for dealing with each problem as it arose in his first game as organiser.

I am so happy he stepped up because it was way past time for me to pass the baton.

Credit to dinosaur rover for his inclusive coaching style, which had our blokes playing as a team by the last quarter.

The move of Leeroy and his mate to full forward in the last quarter was a match-winning move

IMO.

Credit to dazzledavey36 for his best on ground performance. It was a close call because we had so many other guys who could have won it.

Credit to our mid-field who gradually wore the talented bomberblitz guys down.

Steve the ruckman and the other guys pumped the ball into our forward line so many times in the last quarter, it would have been impossible to lose.

Credit to Wise, who played another great captain's game and is now our most-capped player (along with the Stynes Factor).

Credit to bomberblitz, who keep coming back at us, and have moved in a few short years from easybeats to respected opponents.

Happy to hear other people's views on the game.

Well done dees on another win

Pretty glad it was a competitive game this time

Steve the ruckman was best on for you guys imo although the dazzle was very good too.... when Leeroy absolutely smashed me in the middle wasn't exactly pleasant lol

Can't wait for the next one!

Very competitive game, and I still think the move to a smaller ground was deliberate as it threw us out a bit and fell straight I to their hands.

I think every player had a good highlight (or lowlight in bennys instance with 9 shots at goal for 12 points). Always good to see varying levels of footy experience "gel" so well.

Can't wait o next time.

Moving the ground came straight from the Olympic park curators mate..... Threatened us with paying for any damage caused to the turf

If anyone can Remember (or have them written) all the scores and opposition we have played (and locations) wouldn't mind seeing the evolution of the team and Compitition, plus I can't for life of me remember which I have been involved with over the 7-8 years. (2 vic park, 2 Olympic? 2 goschs and todays 5c piece)

A overview would be really great after this has begun to thrive.

That ground really was by far the smallest I have ever played on. Talk about stoppages and congestion wowee!

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    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
