  • 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.

It's also possible that St Kilda are slightly ahead, but on the same trajectory as us: because they actually stepped up a gear when a top 8 team hit their best form in the third and fourth quarter, but held and on found a way to win in a very mature fashion. I'd like to see us do that as well as beating the Saints, before declaring us the same.

I still think the Saints are behind us, simply because they rely more on their older players to win, Roo, Joey and Steven carry their team and i'm not sure their youngsters are anywhere near as good as ours. 

I think when Joey and roo retire we'll see the Saints slide back a little bit and the lack of top end talent exposed.

We beat GWS and got umpired out against North. Oh sorry, I forgot those didn't count. The Goliath Slaying Saints season has featured a loss to West Coast by 103 points, a loss to Adelaide by 88 p

It's always nice seeing the Scott brothers lose, that's for sure.

The pink jumper was in support of Cancer Council Tasmania...more personal to them this year because of Roughy.

Really no different to when we wear pink on our jumper which looks only marginally better.

Its the cause that counts!

Still an obnoxious design. But then it is Whorethorn...

Riewoldt and Montagna fair enough, but Steven is still young, so can't really include him.

While i see the point you're making, I don't include him in the next crop of emerging Saints ( Billings, McCartin and co ) which i feel lacks depth of talent, they have a couple of good looking players but our depth of quality in terms of our very young group is far superior and that's why i believe we're not only ahead now, but i think we'll be light years ahead in 3 years time.

The Hawks jumper screamed of a marketing meeting where everyone was too scared about being perceived as insensitive towards cancer, instead of being the one that pointed out that it looked like they were promoting National Turkish Delight week.

Or Seb Ross. Played a very smart game. Most pressure Dangerfield has had this year.

Played a good game against us too.

Just like we did in the last quarter against GWS when Hogan kicked 3 after a pretty ordinary day and Watts flicked the switch. 

Nah, but it was just cos GWS didn't kick straight.

Exactly. A large number of Whorethorn's 2008 GF side is still running the show. Until they retire the equalization strategy means stuff all

Well if teams would bother to put a hard tag on Mitchell and play a defensive forward on Hodge, we may see different outcomes.

Because any team who wins 4 premierships in a row is clearly not a member of an equalised competition.

We had a chance to be a contender by now, but Barry Prendergast had other ideas.

The only thing wrong with the current system is the academies which fly in the face of equalisation, yet Hawthorn get no advantage out of it.

    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,
