  • 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.

GAME DAY, ROUND 2, 2015

Paul Roos has taken 23 players up to the national capital today, the majority of who were not on the club's primary list when he was appointed as coach of the club late in 2013. I'm counting the elev

Apparently the Scully family will be sitting in the Eastern Grandstand today. They managed to book it early so all six of them should be able to squeeze in.

This has not been as enjoyable as last week.

This is so sad for us and the players :(

Roo's needs to tear shreds off em :wacko:

Can we turn it around, highly unlikely :blink:

But I am forever the pessimist , at least in my heart of hearts :):):)

Bullsh!t it is sad for the players

STOP MAKING EXCUSES

The PLAYERS control what happens

Roos better tear strips off these soft underbelly players

We were 33 points up minutes before half time

Weak as Pi55

Great punch over the boundary Dawes. 10 yr olds know not to do that. Can't mark, can't get the ball, but can give away stupid frees.

Any of the Dawes lovers who wanted him desperately in this week want to fess up and apologise now?

All day we kicked it to Dawes and he is beaten. He has single handedly prevented us from going forward by losing contest after contest and dropping mark after mark. He is a liability

I said last week that we shouldn't stuff the balance by taking out JHK and bringing in Dawes.

Now obviously today we lost because our midfield got absolutely smashed, but FML Dawes is not helping this at all.

Few were thrashed out of the centre & by their midfield. You can blame Dawes etc all you like but out of the centre is where it starts. Also for those who say GWS are not a good team ...open your eyesv& have a good look.....they are a good team & will do better than GCS this year ....no worries at all !!!

As frustrating as it is ... the gap between our best & worst is evident ... we shouldn't all go into meltdown ...Roos did warn all of us that we are going to lose games ...

It's not losing that is the problem here.

It's being belted (by a side that shouldn't be much higher than us on the ladder to boot) in a way we shouldn't be being belted any more.

It's senior players going missing, again.

It's effort lacking, again.

We don't even have to talk about our poor skills or silly mistakes because that's not the issue, it's the effort, which by now surely has to be non-negotiable.

Conceding 14 goals in a row against Hawthorn is bad enough. But this is GWS.

Have the players been told never to kick long or quickly to a forward?

Very strange. They all seem to avoid at all costs.

But his VCE score was so high

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    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
