  • 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 reckon the North bloke threw his head back and played for a free kick, Cyril barely got him.  Deserved to be pinged for holding the ball.

That's exactly how I saw it. His head was on he way back before any contact...Great decision. PS : Firrito the biggest filthy animal in the game today.

Why is it that I just want Nth to lose tonight. I mean Nth are a club that has been nearly forced to move to the GC, battled hard I like there president but I just find it funny they have now lost to the top few teams. Maybe it's there coach who seems to complain all the time. 

But they have no right to complain. They missed so many shot and some of them were easy and they just gave away undisciplined frees. 

Yes Lindsay Thomas. Although I must admit he was entitled to a free kick that looked high but he won't get it because of his previous staging. there was also a play where he didnt want to go in hard and wanted the easy handpass and the hawks ended up clearing it. 

But this is why nth arent getting spoken about as a premiership contender because they have lost to a few of these top teams.

I've tipped Hawthorn, so that's the only reason I'll go for them. Hate both these teams though. And score that my hotel room has FOX FOOTY, as there's no coverage on Channel 7 up in Sydney. Hopeless.

Would've been on 7mate

I'm with you. And as for Lindsay Thomas? Personification of the boy who cried wolf, absolutely no sympathy.

And it was just oh-so-delicious to see them lose the game directly due to some North [censored] staging for a high tackle. Brilliant stuff.

Kharma is a b.tch.

Brad Scott complaining about the terrible standard of umpiring.

Sicily modeling his game on Ducker Thomas.

Hawks just continue getting away with it.

Cyril's throws,blocking the man standing on the mark,creeping over the mark,plays on all favour Hawks.

Take away their skill at cheating and blowing the umps and they are nothing special.

Clarkson and Mitchell have piggish faces on their short stupid bodies.They speak through their noses and have bogan monotones.

Strike them down with thunder , Thor, and end them.

I hate  Smiley Mitchell more than  No mates Harvey

I think I just hate short ,skillful footballers who need a punch in the head.

I want these guys targeted with EXTREME PREJUDICE.

Sicily is my newest object of hatred-I am the boot of Italy and he is the Shyte on the end.

I think I just woke up hating short men-they are nearly all detestable.

Put them in a Hawks/North jumper and it compounds.

Sicily ducks as much as Thomas,.

Yes....and they have the head throwback king Puopolo as well plus the new ducking apprentice in Stewart.  Clarkson insists other clubs have a greater inventory of cheats than Hawthorn but the maths isn't working out for me.....

I recently had to cancel my foxtel play. The commentary/ sound was about 10 seconds behind the action.

Now I am stuck with Bruce on 7 where his commentary is 10 seconds ahead of the play.

Brad Scott says umpires told North Melbourne players Lindsay Thomas won’t be awarded high frees because ‘he’s a ducker’

Ha.

I had some trouble trying to decide who to barrack for last night. Until I remembered who was North's coach.

Ha.

Its hard to imagine an umpire actually saying that.  More likely: Lindsay won't get a free kick because he ducked (...meaning in this instance).

Scott said they won't lodge a complaint!  If he has a legitimate case then take it to the AFL...don't just bleat on TV about it, stirring up a frenzy and more headlines!!

Didn't hear Brad Scott criticise the umpiring when they got a great run from them against us in Tassie

That's because he was rolling in mud and drinking swill after the win.

When he loses he tends to squeal, grunt and oink a bit.

Surely the relentlessly consistent AFL will fine him for his outburst.

    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,
