  • 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.

Dermot Brereton is a terrible commentator. He speaks so much shite.

He knows his stuff. He just feels the need to tell us all of it in the one game.

Cross is too slow. Has lots of courage, but every week gets hurt going the other way, unless he can kick 3 goals a game to make up for the goals he leaks. I love his endeavour but we need players that can run both ways. If Matt Jones doesn't play (and I believe he shouldn't who do you replace him with?)

what happened to Spencer ?

Are you asking in the general sense of "what's happened to him, why is he so bad?"

Or are you wondering why he's injured? Because if so he got pushed in a contest and was injured. No free was paid.

I'd replace him with a stick.

Seriously doubt he will be playing next year. Least of our problems anyway.

I reckon Kent will replace him next week DS

We have a terribly inexperienced side out there today, playing the ladder leader at their home ground. Too many of our players don't have AFL skills. Our Captain playing his 200th game, has no impact and is off before half time. The umpires as usual are killing us.

Considering all that, I don't think it is so bad, SO FAR.

We aren't very good (you're welcome for that incredible insight).

BUT footy on the TV is ruined by both networks pandering to clubs with bigger supporter bases. We get absolutely annihilated in the commentary, often at times being spoken to in reference to what the opposition team is doing even when running into goal. Meanwhile I've had the misfortune of watching Essendon games on TV over the last few weeks and the way they are spoken about, even though they are struggling, makes me sick. Doggies copped it until this year, Saints get it a fair bit too.

It's just another nail in the coffin of smaller teams, but thats not what annoys me - what annoys me is it's a short sighted strategy, as it actually makes 80% of the games poor viewing, and will damage an audiences interest long term.

Training drill. It's been very very bad.

We can't get our hands on the footy and when we do we can't kick it. It's ugly.

Who knows. He won't be on the list next year anyway.

Shall I send u the soap wise! That could be construed as super negative. I hope you're prepared for a post match spray!

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    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

    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,
