  • 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.

I would be absolutely staggered if that's the case.  Cannot be true.

I have found if you go to the ticket box at the ground the person will often sell you an admittance ticket.

I have this awful, disheartening sense of confidence. I really feel like we will win, and win well, which obviously means we are doomed.

We're riding on a paradox - if we're the favourites, we'll lose, so we shouldn't be the favourites, but then when it is changed and we're not the favourites, we should win, making us the favourites.

Quantum theory comes into play here. Until the final siren of any given game, all Melbourne supporters should maintain the emotional state of BOTH "We will win for sure" and "We're gonna get smashed", and also plan their after-match accordingly.

Woke up in a panic thinking I've missed the game and we lost. 

Today is the opportunity, the prime time opportunity to prove to everyone, ourselves especially, that we have progressed. That we have improved. That we are no longer a bottom side in this competition. 

We need to win because on paper we are as good as our opponent. But on paper it also says that we haven't won 2 in a row since before I had grey hair (courtesy of Melbourne). 

Its time. Go Dees!

As are most games winnable this year for every team in it I hope we give effort like the north game and it will take care of its self .

Checking with the ticket sales outlets about tonight's game the GA allocation is exhausted, so sounds like a big crowd.

I am a MFC member for home games and am trying to bring my daughter, but the only tickets available are allocated seats, so if we buy one of these we can not sit together.

Does anyone have a suggestion how we can sit together while using my membership?

 

buy your daughter a membership outside the ground at the mfc tent, even if it is only a three game membership

problem solved

2 wins seem so insurmountable for this team. We need to win this, for nothing else but to get that damn hoodoo off our backs.

That being said, we are going in with some good form. Jeffy is back which gives us some better firepower up forward. Lids and Maric are playing their first game, so hopefully they are underdone. Wattsy is in good nick. We have a pretty good record against them. Going in as under dogs is far better for us.

That and its my birthday. Already had a few, so this will just top off a great day. Any chance to see those puffed up tuggers fans come crashing back to reality.

    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

    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.
