  • 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'm sorry but Oscar Mcdonald just isn't ready for AFL footy yet. Give him time in the VFL. Why we don't have Dunn in, i'm not sure.

Either Roos is looking forward or he doesnt rate Dunn. I feel for Dunn hes.... better than Omac and garland.

Jeez OMac is a very ordinary player.. 

Dont rate him at all.

He might become decent but he's clearly not ready, baffling selection.

Petracca doesn't have the best footy instincts at the moment, he's physically capable but just needs to improve the finer points of the game.

I really wish our forwards would just be more selfish sometimes and pepper on goals. There's a time and a place for selfless footy, and it's not against this mob.

If you have a shot, back yourself!

We're over-sharing the bloody pill when it should be obvious to attack the goals. Should've kicked at least 4 more goals due to this in that qtr alone.

So all I know is the score, and the Demonland commentary. I gather we're terrible, no hope of making the finals ever again, and this will go down as the worst 10 goal victory of all time. Does that about sum it up?

Who is responsible for telling him to play on at all costs no matter what?

You missed "Roos is being out-coached again".

Uninspiring but scoreboard is about right. Wind makes kicking tough and you can tell. We're a 14-15 goal better side but in these conditions anywhere between 5-10 goals.

We seem to play according to our opposition levels.

Imagine if we played this rabble of a team with the game we brought against the dogs last week

or the Roo's at the start .We would be 10 goals in front by now.

As a team we are so poor with our decision making from a mark.

I've mentioned this many times but we drift off the line too easily and don't get far enough behind the mark. Often we are forced to kick under pressure from a free kick which is just incredible.

Well 2 years ago it was us playing like Brisbane.

A lot of players out today

Fix our defence and get a second ruck who can play up fwd and we will be definate finals players.

If you listen to the usual's then, yes, but you know better Nasher.

Believe it or not, it is possible to win easily and not play well...

We are clearly a class or two above Brisbane but some of the decision making has been nothing short of baffling. Skills are up a bit on last week though.

    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

    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,
