  • 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.

Pies home game

You have to pay to get in.

Then will need to sit so high you need oxygen mask

Then freeze your arse off in terrible weather.

Looks like Saturday at home playing Barbies with my Granddaughter for me

Just so long as the team does not play like barby's

I am going to have a shot of tequila every time we butcher the ball, so I expect to be dead by quarter time

Quarter time is a bit of a stretch wattsup.

I would think 10min into the first would suffice!

U betta drink fast.

I'm going to save 1 shot for every Dawes mark over the last 7 rounds, then drink then all at seasons end & drive my kids home.

if your worried, please don't, I'm not on my P's

Couldn't really give a [censored] anymore. If they are not willing to drop players on the back end of some terrible weeks (Dawes) then my care factor is out the window - oh well draft time is only 7 months away

I am not sure I agree with dropping Dawes (only because I am not in a position to comment) But I agree with your sentiments

He's taken 14 marks the last 3 weeks.

Please do drive, but don't take the kids.

So simple, and yet one of the funniest things I have ever read on this site.

60+ point thrashing coming our way.

^^ what he said.

Fortunately I have another engagement - a funeral aka celebration of life - that I think will be far more enjoyable! I hope there's some tequila handy.

And over on the C'wood equivalent of Demonland after their recent string of losses destroying their finals hopes I can just see a despairing supporter posting:

"Demons have gone in tall so naturally we keep x"

12 degrees and rain on Saturday, so forgive me for criticising going in tall with a wildly out-of-form forward in such conditions.

Guess we'll just have to wait and see if your imaginary Collingwood supporter ends up with the egg on his face.

Its been nearly an hour since team announcment and inly 9 replies later.. usually there is alot of activiy and banter.. is it now gotten to the point of the year where some of us just don't care anymore about team selections?

This place has been very quiet and 99% negative this week, unfortunately I think you are right in that it is sympomatic of a supporter group that has had an absolute gutfull with this club. We just didn't need the triple kick in the guts that was the last 3 weeks. Serious worries about the longterm, even shortterm, future. Sigh.

And not forgetting the progressive nature of "Blooding" players for the future!

Look at our emergencies!!

Skills Mc Kenzie, Over the hill Jamar, and Matt be nimble Matt be quick Christ almighty Jones to get perhaps another wasted Kick!!

Sheezus how lame!

Looking at the Casey team is confusing. They have not named Stretch so maybe a weekend off. But have named VanDenBurg, Harmes and Neal-Bullen in their team. Surely they won't play Saturday and Sunday...

The interest in the year for me from here on is watching the development of White, Hunt & King.

I hope at least one of them gets a run, White would be the best chance if he can get an upgrade before season end.

    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.
