    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 had visions of us copping the 4.40pm Sunday timeslot. 1.10pm is a much better outcome, even if that is Father's Day.

Even with the early start, playing the Giants at Etihad in round 23 on Fathers Day could still set a record low attendance. At least the weather won't be an excuse.

Friday, September 4
Richmond v North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium, 7.50pm AEST (Channel 7)

Saturday, September 5
Geelong v Adelaide at Simonds Stadium, 1.05pm AEST (Fox Sports)
Brisbane Lions v Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, 1.45pm AEST (Channel 7)
Port Adelaide v Fremantle at Adelaide Oval, 3.20pm ACST (Fox Sports)
Hawthorn v Carlton at the MCG, 4.40pm AEST (Fox Sports)
West Coast v St Kilda at Domain Stadium, 5.40pm AWST (Channel 7)
Sydney Swans v Gold Coast at the SCG, 7.20pm AEST (Fox Sports)

Sunday, September 6
Melbourne v GWS at Etihad Stadium, 1.10pm AEST (Fox Sports)
Collingwood v Essendon at the MCG, 3.20pm AEST (Channel 7)

I'll be there assuming my 2nd child isn't born by then.

Try and finish the year with a win for the first time since the Kreuzer Cup I believe?

And another win at Doglands- on top of our round 20 win there over the Bulldogs of which I am extremely confident. !!

Definitely a no go for me.

My daughters want to take me to the pies v Dons for Father's Day.

They must really want me to suffer.

What have I done to deserve this?

I said to my dad we will take you to etihad for fathers day. The crowd will be interesting. 1:10 on fathers day at etihad. Im not expecting a lot. But then I remembered for the first time I can scan my membership so I get in for free. It may be the last time well it will be see some players run around in the red and blue.

Something tells me you have failed as a father.

May well be the last match I get to watch live until August next year, so I'll definitely be there

I doubt my dad would like to do anything more on Father's Day than go to Shitehad stadium, sit on the roof when the ground level is empty, and watch us lose to GWS.

What a golden child I am!

last time i went to etihad for an away game, bought ga at gate. they offered me a reserve seat on level 1 in the "melb area" which was near the cheer squad

i even got to pick my seat (roughly) - all for no extra charge

i was surprised

so i expect being a home game you could probably do the same.....but check with club first

Anyone else want to storm the medallion club seats and see just how many security guards it takes to stop us? Worse thing that can happen is probably getting kicked out and being saved the pain of watching us lose to GWS.

By the way if GWS sneak an upset win either of Port or Sydney as well as getting the job done against Carl and Essendon then they'll likely be playing to make the 8.

If we do them a massive favour and beat North this week then they could be as high as 7th by the end of this round as well.

How nice that they schedule the filth and the drug cheats at the "G" on the same day and the Hawks and the Blues at the "G" the day before. Lovely the way the AFL schedules us with a "home game" against GWS at Etihad, I don't think!

The only redeeming feature is that GWS may not like playing there any more than us and it may be a chance for us to break the hoodoo.

Still, at least we have won two significant "away games" this year in our win against the Cats at the Cattery followed up by our decisive away victory against the Pies last weekend!

    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.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to
