  • 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.


FAREWELL LYNDEN DUNN

4 disposals to half time. Haven't noticed him much and Jeremy Howe is one of the laziest players going around! 

Enjoy bucks.

I actually hope Dunn does well, his departing message last year showed nothing but class.

What really annoys me is when commentators mention Howe's switch to defense last year as some sort of masterstroke on Buckley or Collingwood's behalf. Did these guys watch any footy at all in 2015? Huddo, one of the better ones, even mentioned it tonight.

Good luck to him. In an ideal world I would've kept him but I understand why they moved him on given they were stuck with Garland as depth and had Frost and Oscar. 

He looks fitter and should bounce back to pretty solid form and his kicking will help the Pies. 

I'll miss his ability to win some decent one on ones and kick a long goal or long switching kick but I'll appreciate Frost's athleticism and Oscar's work rate and height. When you've got 3 imperfect options it's not unreasonable to back in the younger two.

"Lynden Dunn quickly bringing the ball in from full-back kicks straight to McDonald-Tipungwuti, who converts from 20m out. Terrible error. 

Dons 88, Pies 92"

And that's what I won't miss.  The regular brain fades that had one of my mates calling him "Lynden Dumb".

No match winner and has limitations but experience counts and Dunny has that in spades and never says die. One of the few players who was able to stand up in the ugly years of Demon horribilis and hold his head up.

A dour stay at home defender that can neutralise a sluggish but strong bodied opponent and occasionally drift forward for the odd goal or two with the occasional brain fade (see above). 

Didnt mind Dunny against the right match up and in a balanced team with quick counter attack runners around him. Certainly a better option than Garland who was unable to do either of these roles/tasks very well under any amount of heat. One of them is still with us so go figure.

I saw this on Facebook and thought it was worth sharing here because it shows exactly where Lynden Dunn's heart is -

"These are the moments I will miss! Looking my mates directly in the eyes  after a hard fought win and belting out "It's a Grand Old flag!"

I know in my heart of hearts that I leave the Dee's giving every moment, everything I possibly had. I consider myself blessed to have spent 12 great years at this Football club and no matter where I go or what I do, my veins will always bleed red and blue. Only at the moment there is some black and white in them as well. I have played with some of the all time greats of the MFC  and met some incredible people along the way. I would like to thank the fans for their support, especially through some very grim years. There is definitely light at the end of the tunnel and fingers crossed finals are not far away.

To all my teammates who I have ever played with ... you are the reason I play football and the reason I love the club so much! You have meant everything to me and I wish the current players all the best in their pursuit for greatness!

Finally, thank you @melbournefc for helping me live my childhood dream of playing League Footy. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity you gave me as a 17 year old straight out of high school. 

Bring on the Queens Birthday Clash in 2017 - Dunny"

When the club gives away jumper # 14 I hope it will be to a very special person.

Well played Dunny!

Heart on his sleeve guy. I always liked Dunn.

Hope he does well at the Pies.

That said, I would have liked to see him finish his career at the Dees. A quality clubman.

Is your mate knee deep in a slab of Carlton on his third Dominos pizza each time he cleverly yells that at the plasma screen from his bean bag in the corner of the living room?

That rank turnover was an absolute shocker...why backman chip short to a player who is not completely in the clear is beyond me

There were many turnovers in the two games played.    If you watched Geel vs Haw last night you would have seen some beauties.   It's Feb

Just saying

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.
