  • 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.


The other game this weekend

well that was bloody enjoyable

nice to see footy without the rugby scrum. good skills

and better still, the dees win....yay

Marking and kicking skills were good for both teams. Handballing and awareness of being about to be tackled were the weakest points I thought.

yep marking and especially kicking were a feature

picking the ball up cleanly off the ground the weakest aspect generally

oh, and some of the tackling was excellent

Wow. Seriously? This is the level of Demonland now?

Total lack of respect shown to the girls by this website.

Even the thread title is a disgrace.... The other game... Why not MFC woman's game Demons Vs Bulldogs?

How hard is it to show our own club the respect it deserves.

My silly comments were made in jest of course but I am glad Stuie managed to pick me up on it.

"The Moral Arbiter" of Demonland FMD.

As for the game.

Great spectacle,and a very good standard of footy.

Well umpired and highly watchable .

Hope to see more of it.

Fairly brutal watching girls crack their heads open I must say but FULL respect to both teams.

Exactly the same.

The league cut the game by 90 seconds in the last quarter. No idea why. Even the commentary team was caught unawares. They said there was two minutes to go and then said "No its only 18 seconds" The clock still showed 90 seconds. No respect to these players. It was a very enjoyable game.

The game was running behind time. There was an obligation to finish the woman's game by a given time (for the start of the main match), probably a broadcaster stipulation.

Yes but the reason I have been told is that the Men required 1 hour warm up. FFS as if 90 seconds was going to make a difference. Should have dumped Mike Fitzpatrick's insipid presentation speech saying how surprised he was that it was "tough". Annoyed a fair few players with that patronising quip. You wonder about the AFL. 170 odd new teams registered this year. That's a hell of a growth rate which should be getting the AFL excited given the problems they are experiencing.

i don't see anything wrong with saying how surprised he was that it was tough

unless you have anything against honesty

i found it tougher than i had expected, and that is in no way patronising

we all know it is get fitzpatrick week, but to hang him on that comment is being over zealous

as for the excuse over the lost 90 seconds. pathetic by the afl. i bet the doggies were impressed with less than a kick in it

you only have to ask yourself if it was an afl double header, would they have cut the game short.....no fn way

Typical superior white male condescending attitude.

I've come to expect nothing less!!

    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
