  • 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.

Eggzactly also they should be sent back there.....

A Richmond mate invited me to join him at the "battle of the co-tenants". I pointed out that I would be attending a game on Friday night, but it is between a landlord and a one of their feral tenants.

I am clearly to bias as on paper I like our team so much more than what the tiges have put together. Dawes and Hogan would be licking there lips with Chappy out. I rate Rance massively and it will be

9 changes to the side that played Richmond last year.

Out. Pedersen, Riley, Bail, Terlich, Viney, Toumpas, Gawn, Matt Jones, Grimes

In. Lumumba, Newton, vandenBerg, Garlett, Kent, Hogan, Jetta, Brayshaw, Michie

A different side, a stronger side. And we actually beat them last time (despite 28 scoring shots to 21).

Interesting. I reckon they are all improvements except Viney who we will miss.

Don't kid yourself though, last time Richmond's kicking was woeful and kept us in the game.It won't happen again and this year the Toiges have kicked some good scores 137 against the Lions and 105 against the Blues. Only 66 against the Dogs though who tackled well and kept the ball inside 50....

Bulltish, Saty. The thought was if we went tall, it would be Pedo, and if we went for a mid, it'd be Michie.

I was being sarcastic Billy, the main gist of the posts on here was the bemoaning of Bail's abilities, in comparison to every other AFL player who had ever played the game

Great effort from the Kimberley Coast, nor'wester! Hope it turns out to be well worth your while.

Taking my girlfriend to her first game.

A filipina with no idea about the game, except it makes her boyfriend shout at the TV a lot.

Bought her a guernsey and hat so she can look the part, and looking for the membership tent to sign her up also.

I really hope we dont kok it up, or i have no chance of ever dragging her back to a game.

Where do the Dees fans congregate in an away game? My first game since we rolled the drug cheating scum in the night game a few years back.

Catch up for a beer mate...

Mostly at Punt Rd and some at Waverly for the most part I believe. An issue to address is to reverse the lop sided win loss differential. 30 more wins to them is nauseating.

Richmond's defection from Punt Rd in 1965 coincided with our mostly defective performances from this year.

Really excited for the game tonight. Spending my whole day of uni reading demonland. Already picked out some warm clothes and my best scarf.

Watching the rain roll over from the East on the bureau. Could be a bit of rain - would make our lack of a second legitimate ruck less of a problem in slippery conditions.

Hoping JKH is the sub. Brayshaw to be given a full game and to win a rising star nom after his 15 tackles.. Vanders to avoid the vest purely from a supercoach sense.

While Im confident we can cause an upset, I am worried about being lethargic after last week's long quarters and high stoppage numbers.

And we wonder why education standards have fallen so far in this country..

Breggsy being worried is being a melbourne supporter. worry or anxiety never goes away. only a flag will fix that although there will still be many worrying that we will fall back down to the bottom again. As far as education standards, demonland offers far more than any tertiary institution. it offers a full syllabus on human behaviour and life skills generally. on demonland you have the rich tapestry of life with more characters than an Agatha Christie novel. Your time is well spent.

No. I can't see the games very well these days and spend most of the time watching the big screens. I buy my membership but usually watch it on TV. I get to the Casey games because the outer is a great spot to watch and I can see better in the open. Plus Casey have Bacon Rolls.

Just got talked into going. Looking for an epic contest even if I watch the big screens.

    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

    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.
