  • 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.

FMD! What a litany of disaster. That 148 flogging (not a jolly good flogging) by Essendon is seared into the memory. Worse than 186 IMO...

so sad that we have so many disasters to chose from that are candidates for the worst

As my posting on here shows, I tend the pessimistic view of the MFC. I certainly wasn't surprised at the performances against Essendon & Carlton last year, as I was expecting the worst leading into both games, especially the Essendon game.

I don't have the same trepidation about this week's game. I expect us to win and win well, although I can see the nerves coming if we are not in front at quarter time.

Our Round 1 wins in the last two seasons were "poor" wins.  Gold Coast were severely under manned and GWS played terribly.  Unfortunately the team took far too much baseless confidence from those wins and it was a train wreck the week after.  The talk from the club  leading up to last year in particular was very disturbing..

This time we had a good win in Round 1. And the talk coming out from the club is much more reserved.

Tipping a 12 goal win.

Im hoping for a big win to signal the end of the era where we weren't so sure of what we were going to get.

God I hope BenKen and Jakes inclusion reads more about keeping them hungry... I'd have Harmes ahead of BenKen (assuming tyson and kent are locks) I like BK and he can do the spectacular and has great pressure, yet drifts out of games and unfortunately his height is problematic... a la Nahas and even C.Daniel... Harmes can win his own ball in the air, but disposal is average -in my humble opinion at least.

Well Tysons a certainty, you'd think Harmes or Kent to take the other spot. Wonder how bad Maxs wrist is, Spence may get a run after all??

I must have missed this... I though he had some back tightness...?

How were Gold Coast severely under manned? They played a pretty strong team with Ablett and Bennell also in that team.

Ben Kennedy is a better prospect then Harmes in my opinion. Harmes disposal in the JLT series was on par with Paul Hopgood.

This could be the week we see the dual rucks experiment, if Max pulled up a little sore from his smashing of Hickey last week it might be s good time to bring Spencer into the fold. 

Having said that if he's fine I wouldn't want to mess with a winning team. 

In: Tyson, Harmes

Reports say he was close to BOG, let's give him a crack. He can play both ends of the ground (although I prefer in the forward line) and I'd like to see him rewarded for form.

First you have to get the ball.

    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

    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.
