  • 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.

How does one "cancel" a membership ?

The same way you cancel anything Pro.

Ring up said organisation and tell them to stick their [censored] (telephone service, insurance policy, electricity contract etc) up where the sun doesn't shine.

Anyway no need for such bitter thoughts, I am confidently heading off to the G and hoping to see Jeffy kick 3 or 4.

At this rate you will need to change your alias to just "Optimistic"

45 seconds on HIGH should do it...

Straight out of the Richmond supporter play book, I like it!

Hope we work a few of their key backs over again today in Rowe and their next best defender  like last week  running them up the ground , if Wietering plays back id expect no less and consider playing a foward as an absolute decoy .  We are a tall short today so we need to run run run and get hands on the footy first second and third . Bang

Not worried about putting in a lackluster performance, those days are over, we were unwavering for the JLT series and Goody is just as much a mental master as he is a dynamic coach.
He will get the best out of the players and with so many spots up for selection there is no room for complacency.
I want a win today (Obviously) but I want 4 quarters of footy, I want us to step on the throat and be unrelenting, I want to give the blues fanbase depression.
Our group of kids play with such swagger and lack of respect I think that they will want to [censored] a team, winning isn't good enough today, we need to tear out their heart and show it to their cheer squad. ferocious attack on the footy, dynamic ball movement, deadly skills by foot, and white hot speed.

Saints nearly rolling Eagles in Perth, is good formline for us.  

Yes I suppose that is true. In fact Saints were by far a better team and the " home umpies "  did the job on them last night.

I will be thinking of a good mate and passionate BlueBagger who lost his battle with prostate cancer in late December 2015. Still hope we thrash em!

Sorry to hear that mate, never too early or late to get checked.

Two wins gives us the sort of momentum that sets up a good season. That's why i argue this is much more imperative now because of what we did last week.

So important to build on positives......

On a train city bound, lunch in Richmond before heading to the ground.

Same with me, some joint in Swan St, along with some Blues and Dees friends, then onto the game. For once this game time works well for me.

Will I recognise you by the turban?

No upside in this game.

Win and we have beaten the wooden spooners. Win easily and some will say we were not tested. Win badly and ... well you know what will be said.

Lose and all hell will break loose.

Bring on 6pm and give me a 60 point lead at half time ... please

Being 2-0 is upside enough for me.  I'm sure there will be moments of frustration today, but beating Carlton by 5 goals will send me home happy.

I'm going to the game today and looking forward to seeing us dominate all over the ground.

Agreed! I think we are really ready to smash a team into the ground 80 plus point win would be great

Being 2-0 up and Hawthorn being 0-2 would be bliss

Only 2 and a half long, painful hours to go.  

I've considered getting a life, but nah.

A what?

 

I only realised a couple of hours ago that daylight savings has ended. So that added another hour to this purgatory.

An 80 point win would be the icing on the cake for sure, but I'm still not convinced we're at that point in our journey as a side yet.  We are still learning how to win these sort of games, so to roll the Blues and to roll them relatively comfortably would be a big step in the right direction.

    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

    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.

    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
