  • 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.

Thought Terls was a bit stiff too.

Got quite a lot of turnovers on the weekend.

Yeah it looks that SWYL - I don't understand the changes. Maybe there are some injuries we don't know about?

after last weeks lame effort i will pleasantly suprised if we win another game this year.

I mean we LOST to half a side of damaged footballers last week.

That 3rd quarter was an absolute shambles

Do these employees of ours ever learn anything??

There is little evidence to suggest they do.

This is just the sort of game where a young nobody, like Daniel McStay, will bob up and kick 5-6 goals and be a match winner too.

Always happens to us Wisblood.

Just like we play teams and players who have been horribly out of form into form.

At least we are consistent!

FMD it's hard following this team.

Not sure what people expected

Our injury list hasn't moved this week. Whether you bring Grimes or Newton or Michie they won't make us a better team.

I want Kent and Salem back, but I also want a million dollars, so you know, tough luck.

As it stated in the paper today, this club has achieved nothing since Neale Daniher.

I expect nothing from this team anymore, last weekend was the last straw.

All talk no walk!!!

See yas later.

Feel for the Toump. Stretchie has similar numbers or less. Not anymore goals. Less tackles and just as many clangers and is still in. Love Stretchie. feel Toump's card also marked now. Back to shitilaide young fella.

Stretch does the same job as the Toump but without the turnovers/clangers.

After last weeks terrible loss the doom and gloom feeling is well and truly back. What we dished up was a disgrace, Roos knows it and the players know it. It's all about how they respond, the Lions will feel they're a chance but we have to get back our early season form of starting confidently and putting on early scoreboard pressure.

This is our must win. We win and season expectations are back on track, we lose and it's back to square one.

Cant believe nobody was dropped after last week......what do you have to do to get dropped, refuse to take the field?

It says a lot doesn't it, but it says even more about those who don't make the team this week.

Watched our Forward line coach interviewed last night

very ordinary performance I must say.

I think we may need to replace him if that's as good as it gets

Pathetic apologist

Followed by Nate Jones. Again no explaination as to why the team didn't come to play and the appalling on field leadership

What can they say " we are seriously short of talent", "Dawes is hopeless and I have no idea why we pay him so much"?

That would go done well with this group with eight games to go.

    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.
