    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 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.

I've fed the lads and sent them off fox squashing. Now considering a moderate investment on sportsbet.

Lunch with Biffen will probably be its usual costly disaster so I'll be in need of a dees win to lift my flagging spirits and bank balance.

I wish you the best of luck Bbo but keep the investment modest

I want to see us kick more goals than last year.. 3 goals for a game including one being kicked in the opening minute is not a fun game to watch. Surely the inclusions of garlett and hogan plus our faster ball movement means we can kick a better score

Also a big night of tv afterwards - roosy on 360, Tmac on the couch and jones classified?

Who said they heard Pendles was going to miss, is this still the case?

Is it the same poster who said Boak was going to miss last week, then said that he only had one good eye?

Ever since the tradition of the Queens Birthday game against Collingwood began, this fixture has been seen as a milestone game for the season.

It's situated at close to the half way mark and the Pies have always been strong contenders who don't take kindly to a lack of success so it's usually a good measuring stick as to how we've been traveling.

Unfortunately, we've been so abysmal for so long that it's taken on the appearance and the feel of Groundhog Day except for 2010 when we thought we had broken through.

Five years later, we're still waiting ...

Well im looking forward to it. I was reading the age where they had the story on the Wiz's 9 goal 2nd half. What a great day that was.

I just hope we play hard and put on a great show and win. I have given up a days work and good penalty rates to attend today.

Id love to see Mxy play well, Hogan dominate and our midfield get on top and cloke has a shocker.

The trophy is an interesting one. I guess because the game and the event with raising money for MND is today, but I would have thought if they were going to do a trophy it would be a melbourne essendon game as he had a connection with both clubs.

anyway lets hope Neale is back next year to present it.

Fair point, Bitter. As for your lunch with Biffen, are you sure he'll make it? Nobody seems to have heard from him this morning.

he's busy collecting donations for mnd around st.kilda

not sure how much will end up in the coffers as he has pretty high overheads

but he'll claim the full tax deduction anyway

Fox Footy is currently showing the 2010 draw. Basically no one playing in that game is still around for us—and I'm not just talking about our veterans; all our youngsters have been delisted.

EDIT: And now they just crossed to Dean Bailey in the Coaches' Box :(

How many Pies players are left?

Would like to think H will play his best game of the year against his old club!

Hasn't looked motivated yet so this game might kick-start his season. I hope.

You must have missed the first round LH

Today is the first queens birthday match I've missed in 7 years. I've never seen melbourne win, the closest I've seen was a draw. I remember having a good feeling turning up in 2011 when we had a run of good form leading into the game and Collingwood had a few players out, only to be beaten by 15 goals. I sat last year with the family of 2 of our current players and watched perhaps the most boring game of footy I've ever seen. If it wasn't for work I'd be there again, but I am sick to death of waiting all weekend to watch this game and hope we put in a fight, only to get steamrolled. With the events leading up to today, and Neale having his input at training etc, the players owe it not only to Neale, but the rest of the supporters who have put up with so many mediocre performances on this day over the past 7 years.

The windy weather won't help with our poor foot skills and if it turns into an arm wrestle I feel we have too many players who can't win 1 on 1 contests compared to Collingwood. Collingwood look quite tall with 2 rucks and white which could lead to a late change if it starts to rain early. Really hope gawn shows he is capable, think this is the best ruck combination he could compete against to get some confidence. I'd love to say we are going to win but I feel Collingwood have too much midfield depth for us, which has been the story of our year. Hopefully I'm wrong.

As much as it pains me to say... mid field depth has been an issue for decades

I didn't. He just hasn't been the same in the 8 games since.

That was his 200th game and he really lifted for it.

Just hope playing his old side gives him the extra motivation to lift again and continue for the season, not just a cameo game.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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
