  • 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.

Joe Daniher can be a problem,I live in fear of him kicking a bag.Need a quick big bloke on him.

Frost comes to mind but no backline experience this year.Who do you recon will get him?

You know what, I don't mind that idea. Give Frost a bit of a test. We can always move Tommy to him if it doesn't work, but Frost was recruited as a backman. I'd like to see him tested. They won't do this though. They'll play him at CHF.

I can't believe the club has disregarded Stuie's advice and dropped Frost before Pedo !!

We will smash these pretenders off the park.

We will need to win by a healthy margin to catapult past the Dogs and the Swans to the top of the ladder. (Maybe then and only then will some of the football commentators have to concede that maybe just maybe we might finish the year higher than the fourteenth position that most of them predicted!)

Wonder if Jack Viney can force himself into the Team of the Week this week?

It's ok. I've got a plan for Daniher. He's on my ultimate footy bench. Time for him to start. His chances of having a good game against us will consequently plummet.

Can't wait to see the boys this Saturday- haven't been to a game since 2013 as I've been in WA recovering from major leg injuries.It'll be be so great to finally be able to see our new young team give this mob an absolute pasting!! I sat through the debacle in '13, it's about time we got a little bit of payback!

On another note, does anyone know if the ticket booths at the G are open today- I need to reserve a seat where I don't have to walk up and down too many steps as that is  still a bit difficult for me to do!

Our best chance at a shellacking in a long, long time. I hope we pulverise them to really send a message, and get up by at least 10 goals.

Buy online? You can then print out your ticket, or get a code on your phone to scan at the gates.

Hope you're on the road to full recovery.

We haven't annihilated another Victorian team for half a decade. 12 goals and change. I also had a terrible dream about Viney's jaw. Just when you think you've shaken MFCSS it buries deeper down into your psyche. Go Dees!

The closer we get the more I think we may well go in with no changes. Aside from Petracca and Trenners no one seemed to play extremely well in the intraclub match simulation, I heard on Fox Footy that they are likely to give Brayshaw a run in the VFL, and from the sounds of it OMac might well get up for the game on Saturday. 

While I would like to see our best 22 played I think it's a good thing from Roos/Goodwin/match committee to back the same boys in to get the job done again. 

Hopefully at the VFL there'll be several outstanding performances that force others to perform in the seniors. Casey will be looking very good this week; Brayshaw, Lumumba, Dunn, Trengove, Petracca etc, the first few in particular you'd expect to get full match time.

Shows how far we have come, when we can win a game and than say we don't have to rush the players mentioned above into the team and let them force their way in.

Happy with 3-4 goal win and the players don't play the game before heading out there. 

I don't think we're at the stage yet when we're handing out 10-12 goal beltings. Those days will come eventually. 

I feel the same way, although I do understand those who won't be happy with that.  I don't think we are far enough down the track yet that we can thrash teams, even those like Carlton, but another good display of football and a win with no injuries will do me very nicely.

    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,

    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.
