    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.

Who'd of thought beating Collingwood could get any better? Post game in the lift with mostly Melbourne fans. Stop at level 3 and in walks none othen Eddie Maguire. You could hear a pin drop. I asked

Absolutely shocking kicking for goal Cost us valuable percentage points

How about seeing him stream through half forward for a shot at goal from 40 at full tilt? He missed the goal unfortunately, but the intent was amazing. Would have lifted the roof off if he'd drilled

Great to see the coloured arm-bands and Jones' reaction when he kicked that goal.

Was Varcoe the only C'wood player with one?

Yes, but that doesn't mean they all weren't behind Goodes.

It reminds me of the Seinfeld episode where Kramer won't wear the AIDS ribbon. Just because he chooses not to wear it doesn't mean that he doesn't support the cause as much as everyone else, and I'm sure this is the same with the Pies.

Proud of my club to do what they did though.

So this season so far we have wiped the smirk off that Scott boofhead from Geelong along with his arrogant players dedwood and FIGJAM Johnson, today it was Bucks turn and I only hope we can continue the trend next week and wipe the smirk off that twin buffoon Scott from NM next week.

Would love to c that.

Absolutely loved it it. And then felt sad he wasn't grabbing his jumper and showing it to the world.

Enjoyed Harmes first goal.

He was really aggressive and made and impact as the sub and that's all u can do as the sub.

Well done

You didn't enjoy it as much as he did.

"Of course Queen's Birthday is Melbourne's Grand Final, the poor dears". Sick of hearing that.

Well, looks like it was Collingwood's Grand Final, as they've only one 1 out of 7 since - obviously a big letdown after building themselves up against the D's.

Yes! Then there's this from the Herald Sun:

This followed Richmond and Western Bulldogs wearing their indigenous jerseys, while some players such as Collingwood’s Jeff Garlett wore armbands of the Aboriginal flag.

Whilst I haven't seen much from Harnes to get excited about, I think this is one of the rare times we've got the sub right. Your more athletic running types is the way to go, not the in and under plodders who come on and there's no athletic running types to get it out to.

Hopefully Roos has seen the light, right before they get rid of the stupid fuckin rule.

I agree he gave us something when he came on. His goal was handy and he took a nice grab in the final minutes.

Id be more happy if we could beat nth next week than todays win. We havent beat nth in a long time and im sick of them thrashing us. They don't respect us and they know when they take the field against us they will win. We owe them and Id love to beat them to knock the smiles off scott, harvey and there fans,

Gawn v Goldsetin will be a great contest next week.

If people are still saying it's our Grand Final it just goes to show that they are dimwitted sheep. Don't know if they've noticed, but it's been a fair while since Collingwood have played in a Grand Final either.

He competes. He wins or splits most of those contests. He hustles, has decent disposal, and while he doesn't get a stack of it just yet I think we have a player on our hands. Big effort in the last quarter to help get us over the line.

HS must think we have a wealth of capable midfielders to relegate Bernie to third. Hogan helped but . . .

Thats exactly what they think Skuit

"One of the most pleasing aspects of this six-goal win against a team desperate to keep its finals hopes alive was that it showcased Melbourne’s midfield depth.

Jack Viney, Nathan Jones, Angus Brayshaw and Dom Tyson all won their fair share of hard ball, while Bernie Vince not only had the better of Magpies’ skipper Scott Pendlebury but also did some damage as an attacking force, kicking three goals."

A great win, yes Collingwood were not the best but still was a good win. We showed some real skill at times. I think Grimes problem is that he does not get rid of the ball quick enough, does not take the first option which results in him getting run down and tackled and giving rubbish handballs, etc... Still he needs a little more time to settle to see if he improves until Salem or some other pushes for his spot. Dawes was reasonably good, hard at the ball which is what we need, we need to opposition worrying about getting whacked or tackled hard. He is still relatively young and can improve as can the side in general, I see no real need to dump him, there are a lot of others who would be going before he does.

Brayshaw is an absolute champ, his running dash and disposal into our attacking 50 was sensational again.

Hopefully the win today will fuel the self belief needed for this team to rise.

    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

    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
