  • 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.

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.

The old melbourne still lurks beneath.

We still need a star midfielder who can change a game.

Why not put Garlett in there this quarter, have to do something.

I strongly believe we dont need Dawes to have a solid midfield. let him mentor off the field as he doesnt show anything on the field...When his contract up?

You could tell in the second quarter that this was always on the cards. We just lost all our run. Looked like we were spent and they have rope 'a doped us.

Every time we play these guys they out run us.

Let's see if we can respond this time.

I reckon we've got the capability but if the effort of the third quarter keeps up it'll be a ten goal hiding.

This is just the old Melbourne resurfacing.

The new Melbourne played the first 5.5 quarters of the year, but the last 1.5 it's been a relapse into last year's team. We're slow, we're weak, we're being belted at the contest and on the spread, and we have absolutely no answer to anything the opponent throws at us.

Last week this was all the other way around, even in the first 40 minutes of this game it was too. The fact we can fall away so badly in the space of just one quarter is indicative of how much work we still have to do to climb back.

Seriously who didn't see this coming?

We are so incapable of playing 120 minutes it's just unbelievable. What a bloody waste.

You saw a 9 goal to zip quarter coming?

Head to tab mate. You've got a gift

Roos completely outcoached

Jones very poor.

One thing Malthouse said that made sense last night. Funny the times you are out coached when your team is outclassed.

Maybe we are playing 'Rope a Dope'.

Lets sit back and watch...

well, that was an outstanding quarter of football from gws. their midfield is scary.

I was going to say we were just pathetic, but I think this is more to the point.

Dawes should never have been brought in on the back of a useless Nab challange.

Adds nothing to this side.

Well it's hard to blame Dawes when the midfield is getting smashed....Blame VInce, VIney, Garlett, Kent, Jones Tyson.....Don't blame the forwards

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    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
