  • 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.


Dees v Dockers - Round 5



Recommended Posts

Fremantle's midfield is a massive worry! Hard to see us getting within 25 points...but you live in hope. Sandi, Fyfe, Mundy, Neale, Barlow, Hill et al are class. Not having Jetta to look after Walters is a worry as well.

Just catching up with reading of press articles and saw Ross Lyon say that Melbourne are the #1 tackling team in the league this year. That came as a delightful surprise and something supporters have yearned for, for a very long time. It will be a fierce game tomorrow. Whatever the result the dockers will know they have been in a 'bruising' football game! :lol: .

Will be there to cheer Jack Watts every time he goes near the ball. Its great how he brings so many team mates into the play, an often unnoticed skill. Hope his confidence is back and that he has a great game. Congratulations on your 100th loyal game, Jack. Thank you for sticking fat with the Dees!

Should be able to get a 40 goal first quarter, then lock it down and save ourselves for Sydney.

McKenzie in, wow.

Doesn't surprise me. We need all the fire power we can get, and it would be a waste to let Bernie tag

Fyfe needs to be shut down and McKenzie might do that job, freeing Bernie to attack.

God help us if Jamar gets injured.

The Band wagon has started - I guess that is a positive :)

After Round 2 2013 i had better things to do with weekend cash

I was still a fully paid up member through those 2 years including donations so i didn't feel guilty....

Round 2 2013 was seriously depressing.....My life was more important

Yes, Walters, Ballyntine, Pavlich, Mayne.....

Their whole team looks good, but look at the names like Garlett, Lumumba, Jones, Hogan, Vince, Tyson, McDonald...we have a pretty decent team ourselves.

Lumumba, Tyson and Garlett have all had mediocre starts to 2015 and when these guys play well they are match winners so I'm expecting it to be tight.

There's another Melbourne Vs Freo game this Sunday as my young bloke takes to the Auskick arena for the very first time. I've kitted him out in the standard Demons Auskick apparel pack and he's raring to go. Unfortunately, the zone we're in wears the Dockers gear for all grades so I'm thinking he's going to stick out like a sore thumb.

Will be finished just in time to walk home and watch us pull off the upset of the round.

Which club Mcqueen?

Hilton, Ellenbrook can't think of any other junior clubs in Perth wearing the Dockers gear

Horses for courses. There's some sort of extraordinary stat where if Steven Hill gets the ball over 25 times a game Freo win about 99% of matches. McKenzie will be the hard tag for Hill and Vince will run with Fyfe.

There is no way McKenzie could keep up with Hill.

I love a good laugh before bedtime, thank you, Watts cool head in picking out Vandenberg for his goal is one of the many reasons he is in the team

I saw that bit of play, wow. I reckon he was actually so low on confidence he couldn't wait to dish it off. lucky for him Vander was there or it was going no where. It was great we got the goal I thought he could of finished it himself.

Definitely should have had a snap instead of handballing it back to a player 5 meters in the clear running straight at goal!

That's a tough call on Garlett. He's been great so far. His chasing and tackling keeps the ball in our forward zone longer.

I guess 15,000 odd posts in meantime had a positive effect... #importance #stuffthemfc

Fcuk those Hashtags H_T do not associate them with me. I have increased my financial support over that time

And as Pearl Jam said so eloquently

"I'm still Alive..."

    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.

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

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
