  • 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.

Picked Adelaide. Not completely sold on Geelong. I've learnt to hate them and, in particular, Chris Scott. Most of my tips are based on hatred.

Another ridiculous deliberate OOB from a fumble this time against Cats

They just do not understand the game

How does seedsman miss that shot directly in front. Disgraceful. Then Enright just bombed one from outside 50. Adelaide just can't get that next goal to get in front. 

But for us to have any hope in getting into the 8 providing we win or just to stay in touch we need the cats to win.

Umm, because they've had 27 scoring shots to 16. 

So? You could pick out 100 should haves in a game of footy - it's a totally different equation if instead of saying "they should have kicked more goals", you change it to "Adelaide should have hit more targets through the middle/half forward".  The possibilites in a game of footy are infinite - I think the only scenario that matters is the one that actually happened.  

Furthermore, any one of those misses going through for a goal changes the course of the game entirely - ball goes back to the middle instead of being kicked in and trapped again at half back, which takes the contest back to even, rather than giving them another opportunity to trap it at half back, which they've done really well.  I think you could argue that if Geelong had kicked more goals early on, they'd have generated far fewer scoring opportunities, and some of them that turned out to be Geelong scoring opportunities could even have been Adelaide scoring opportunities due to the contest being reset.

Two HTB against the Crows from high tackles. 

Poor umpiring but Cats too good

Never seen so many players from the one team kick as blindly as Adelaide have tonight - every time they get the ball it's on their boot without even lifting their head to see where they're kicking. And of course Cats are there to mark it and send it down the other end. Cats should be way more in front.

OMG prancing pony picks another deliberate from a miskick under pressure.  They really do not understand footy.

Thanks Gil for another blight on our once enjoyable game.

Marley in trouble in 'Marley & Me' on channel 9, needed some good news.

Don't watch the end...it gets worse. For your sake, I'm telling you this.

Although, I haven't even watched it. Any movie where a dog dies, i avoid it like the plague.

Cannot see WCE, Hawthorn or Giants getting beaten this round so if we can put in a win over the dogs it will give us a good break over the rest particularly if the Blues can get Port. makes the game on Sunday all the more important.

    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.

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

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

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
