  • 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.

I'll be awake and hoping to see the number 186 exceeded. Because no matter how bad a team is going, they're not as bad as we were, and I can't be truly happy until another bunch of supporters are as

Simpson gets Buddy in a tackle, spins him around three times before finally falling off. No free, Buddy runs off and kicks a clean i50. The MFC supporter in me wanted to cry out in despair, that is

Pundits on social media may well be right when they predict this game to be like the "red wedding" episode from Game of Thrones.

Boring season unfolding.

Only 3 can win it.....Freo, Hawthorn or Swans....

Having watched the Eagles game tonight, I'm not so sure.

The Cats aren't contenders, but they are no mugs. They've dished it up to a few sides. The Eagles had 40 scoring shots to 14. It was an annihilation. And that is being 6 or 7 players short of their best side.

They're not without a real chance.

West Coast are very much a confidence team. Playing at home this year they are going to be hard to beat with most teams struggling to compete with them. I would question though when they are on the road or come up against a well drilled team like Sydney, Freo, Hawthorn or a fast team like the Dogs. To me their midfield is their weakest link and where they lack depth. Still expect them to finish top 4 or close to it.

Your right West Coast dominated as they won the stoppages and worked hard to maintain their press. The Cats really struggled to get the ball into their half.

Maybe....it would depend on which end of the draw they fall into, especially if they get two home finals.

Cats have lost their invincibility.

NicNat: 17 disp, 2 marks, 2 goals. In a team that's second on the ladder. Meh.....

Just proves stats mean nothing

One of them contests hard, lays big tackles, gets the ball moving forward at stoppages, gives his teammates first use, creates space at the contest and uses his speed to advantage

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
