  • 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.

Richmond are just mediocre, plain and simple, so many Richmond supporters carrying on like us beating them is a once off blip and yet we beat them last year on a big day for their club, and in the NAB cup before that!

Joel Selwood is a great player, but the ducking is just ridiculous, it's staging plain and simple, nothing brave about it, he drops he knees to get soft free kicks, he does it over and over again year after year, the umpires are aware but they just allow it to continue

It's a bit like the war between Iran and Irak in the 80s. Nobody cares much who wins.

You know what.. for all the [censored] Jack Watts cops for being soft how Bryce Gibbs gets under the rader mind boggling.

And Seven have 4 more of these shitfest Carlton Friday night matches to look forward to! Meanwhile, talented young lists like Melbourne, GWS and the Bulldogs have none. Some fantastic forward planni

I think people have really under estimated the pies and how good they are. they sit at the top 4-1.

also the loser out of cats tigers today may also get some attention especially if the tigs lose again.

I agree they're performing better than we all expected, but we do need to keep perspective over who they've beaten: Brisbane, Carlton and St Kilda are the three worst sides in the competition. The fourth win was against Essendon which is a good win but the Bombers didn't show up at all on ANZAC day. I'm still wary on declaring Collingwood a genuine finals threat.

4-1 for the Doggies and Collingwood... season definitely unravelling differently to what I expected.

If GWS get up tonight we're in uncharted territory. Hopefully it eggs on the team, maybe the gap between the best and worst isn't as large as Roosy keeps insisting (personally I hope he stops trotting that line out, it's just an out for the players when they don't perform).

It's great for the competition that the Dogs and GWS are now able to push the better sides.

If we can do the same tomorrow, then I'll be happy with adding us to that list of up and coming sides, and the AFL can further be ridiculed for its appallingly biased scheduling.

Meanwhile, pre-season we thought we had it easy with our repeat games, partly because we rated the Dogs as bottom 4 and GWS and Collingwood not far in front. Turns out we have three clubs who could all be 4-1 after 5 rounds, plus Fremantle who could be 5-0, as our repeat games (plus St Kilda, which is handy). We actually could have a really difficult fixture as it turns out.

Carlton...the Leagues new basket case. They must really be feeling blue :)

Maybe beyond blue would be more to the point.

Funniest part of the night - seeing Geoff Edelsten in the box sitting behind Mick. Seriously WTF is going on there? Might explain how crap they are if he's giving Mick some mid game advice!

They love crooks at Princess Park

the Doggies are looking really good

. Nice to see them beating the Swans with their Franklin and Tippett gifts.

Lose a couple of games, a bit of outside pressure and they lash out. Couple of dog acts. Lewis should get a month for that strike.

Edit for spelling

    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.

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
