  • 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.

Whatever happened to the Jonas brothers? They're in my top three bands of all time.

Nick Jonas is in a ripping show called Kingdom. Plays an MMA fighter who's in the closet. Does an awesome job. 

No music though so I'm not sure you'd dig it. Plays a mean skinflute though.

This West Coast win is relatively handy for us. If we can beat the Lions, it'll mean even if we lose to Port next week, we should still be ahead of them.

As long as umpires and the rule makers allow players to keep giving out cheap shots in marking contests known as " making him pay" is keeping the door open for these kind of incidents  to continue to happen all too often. One day someone will be crippled or killed by an errant spoil.

Yep, as much as I enjoy seeing the Eagles lose, we need Port to lose as many games as possible.

Re Gray's tripping: just looking at the last 5 or 6 players reported for same copped a fine (Fyfe, Lewis, Witts). Only Roughead copped a suspension.

Port think they can still beat anyone in a shootout. They're horrible defensively. 

We matched up well on them even when they were good, a lot has changed for both teams and I'd be very disappointed if we don't beat them.

Collingwood win is some concern for us. We're Brisbane that bad in their loss to them last week? Lions nearly beat the Swans just a few weeks ago.They will be extremely fired up whilst we have reminded all and sundry how hood we and how our depth is amazing all week. Worrying.

He'll get a fine. Don't forget, the AFL have an agenda. 

Nah ET, if I'm right, the great news is he's gone. It'll be his third fine this year and it puts him over a $2000 trigger and he gets a week (somebody better check it though)

Makes me nervous that freo keep losing, because I don't want to be the 1st team they beat. But they are just shocking at the moment. The richmond wins seem to be continuing. 

Geez the pies and the tigers seemed to be in a world of pain a week or so ago but  now the pies join us on the same wins and the tigs will be on 12 points. 1 game behind us depending on tomorrow.

Freo are totally and utterly pants.  I just can't see how a quality side can just dissolve so quickly.  Gotta be the least number of people I've seen at Subiaco too, or so it seems on TV.

Can see them finishing last, cleaning up in the draft and then miraculously bouncing back next year though. Hopefully they linger down there for a bit.

    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

    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,
