  • 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.

To stay in the finals hunt we must win to peg a game back on the Crows, and it would also help if the Sydney beat the Doggies.

I think we're more likely to replace North if we end up making finals. They've got a tough run home.

Fair enough, big bodies....but, like all of us, they're ageing a little bit! :)

I think that Jones x2 in the middle, Vince for Scotty T and Garlett gets a run through there....

Get that clearance!

Speak for yourself Jumbo ...im trying my best not to ?

Actually, we need to win this then keep winning ---  OMG, even back to back or hat-trick wins -- (dreaming).

I think tomorrow needs to be a real statement game, it's a good opportunity against a quality team at home with us being the only game for the day. I feel like if we're in the hunt at 3 quarter time then we might be able to have a little more run in the legs with us having the bye last week. 

It'll be a big day for them with it being the anniversary of Phil Walsh passing, but we just need to focus on what we can control and hopefully Gawn puts on another masterclass to give our mids first use.

Not sure if mentioned elsewhere, but the fact of no FTA TV coverage on a day where there are no other matches, is mindbogglingly disappointing.

Can't imagine this happening to a dead rubber match with any interstate clubs or the AFL favs in Vic. Even Essendrug would get a guernsey.

Why winning tomorrow (and a few more in 2nd half) is crucial to the club's resurrection.

Matt jones was in great form early in the year before getting injured. He gives us what we dont have - two way running and spread. His decision making is improving as he gets more experience ...

His decision-making is also improving, because players further up the field are making better decisions.

We beat them in 2014! In Adelaide too.

Assuming he means there current 5 game winning streak not Vs us...  Weeks ago I put this game down as an upset win, with the Crows current form I'm not so confident but anytime we take on an interstate side at the G I go with some confidence... Coming off the bye we can't afford a slow start and let Adelaide jump us and be 4-5 goals up at qrt time. Good opportunity to see where we are at against a quality side on our home deck

I think 2017 starts tomorrow.

Reckon that's what 7 other clubs would have been thinking this round also.

And to think the 8 was pretty much settled at the half way mark. The AFL should be congratulated on their efforts to even up this competition.

You sound surprised? The top 8 barely changes after about round 9 every year. It's why early season momentum and a favourable draw are incredibly important.

Exactly as junior said....that's why teams like ours can't afford to drop easy (sic) easier games - that loss will hurt for a while.

I have a bigger problem with the time that this match is being played. If it's not on FTA, why the heck is it a 3.20 and not a 1.10 or 2.10 game? The reason for the 3.20 games are so coverage flows into 7 News, but if they don't have the coverage... what, it flows into Bounce in Fox? Rubbish.

    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,

    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
