  • 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 make top 4, a team has to be seriously good.  To make the finals, just more than average, or with a bit of luck. Hawthorn in 2016 made finals based on winning 6 games by less than 10 points.

It's that thing that other teams play on the telly every September, while we prepare for the draft.   Draft time is exciting. Those finals sides don't know what they are missing.

I really find it hard to see us winning 13 games to ensure a finals birth.

Realistically, we'd have to:

Go 9-3 at the MCG (no more silly losses to Carlton, Port etc...)

Go 2-2 at Etihad (good luck beating 2 of Essendon, St Kilda and Geelong at our hell hole)

Go 2-4 interstate (bloody tough assignments against West Coast, Adelaide x2, GWS and North in Tassie where they are near dominate)

 

 

No reason we can't...

We have a very good well balanced list...

unless we have some real injury problems then I think we would have underachieved if we don't make finals in 2017...

It's the least they could do really. I'm sure there's enough left over in the donation kitty. 

I have a slight dilemma though. My first born is due September 7, the first week of finals. If this isn't a sign we're going to make them, I don't know what is. 

Skyping of births seems the in-thing to do these days. 

At least there'll be plenty of us to watch it with you.

I think some people have forgotten how close we were before we dropped our bundle last year.

If Macca reckons they're focused on building mental toughness + focusing on skills (kicking both sides) + some good recruiting + more experience for the young guns now, I'd be disappointed if we're not in the 8 next September

Fkn Saints @ Etihad

Danger game

I want to win every game as much as the next person but if we lose round 1 it wont be the end of the world. In fact a loss to a team of simmilar quality could be a good wake up call right at the start of the year. But if we lose round 1 and 2 then it will be time to start panicking because beating Geelong in round 3 will be no easy feat. Its being 0-3 that worries me. We are starting against 3 bogey teams since 2008 we are 2-32 against these 3.

This is the year to put the Etihad ghost or devil to rest. Please let it be. Please God, please. Let this place be heaven and not hell. And I will be a believer once again.

Our problem Ernest is the Saints have been putting the Demons to rest for some time with Gods assistance.

Our best chance is if God stays out of matters.

Very good point OD, God is definitely not a supporter. But it is time to exorcise the evil spirits from that place.

You have my vote jr.

It astounds me how he is allowed just run around with no one closer than 20 meters.

One game last year  for a quarter they had Jetta on him which must have been the mismatch of the 21st century.

Does God really take things so literally??? If so then have the AFL schedule the Saints V North on Good Friday...conundrum for God to vex upon!

    GAMEDAY: Rd 08 vs Geelong

    It's Game Day and the two oldest teams in the competition, the Demons and the Cats, come face to face in a true 8 point game. The Cats are unbeaten after 8 rounds whilst the Dees will be keen to take a scalp and stamp their credentials on the 2024 season. May the 4th Be With You Melbourne.

    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

    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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. 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
