  • 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.

I would like to dedicate this loss to Lewis and Hogan

The better team lost today. We lick our wounds and learn.

I hope Hogan and Lewis feel like rubbish. Huge effort without Gawn, can't be too upset. Geelong are going nowhere fast.

Btw, I hate umpires.

Had less effect on the result than the absolutely atrocious set shots. Thought the umpiring was poor for both sides.

We seriously need to learn from this, perhaps more than any time over the last 10 years. This was a game that could've set us up to become a real enforcer in 2017. Learning get from this imo is more critical than 2 or 3 years ago.

Frustrating loss, mainly due to the poor shots at goal. Missing some good players also, Gawn going down didn't help. We're going places. 

We are.

One of the most frustrating games though.

Our poor kicking was amplified by their good kicking.

With max and hogan out we did bloody well against a finals contender AT ETHIAD. How quick we forget.

OK, perhaps I have been a little harsh on assessing ANB...BUT, that dinky kick directly toward GFC goal in the last Qtr, which resulted in an easy conversion to Cats was thick as a brick... brain fade... silver service... you name it! A tendency to overate himself in my book!

Not just the shocking blues. It's the intensity, the lack of physical presence and inability to make a contest. 

He was lacking late but so was everyone else. Give it a spell.

North were 9-0 last year.

I'm not going to get into a historical stats discussion here cause we could probably go all the way back to 1850 given the time.

Its the same thing we say about beating Carlton last week, better teams just know how to win.

Thought we were hard at it today though

IMO the only negative of the night was goal kicking. 

Spencer time to step up and show us what u got. 

 

Yep. Spencer better dominate. He's got Sandilands up first. He's been asking for his opportunity and now he has it.

We would have won what with Lewis and hogan. Lewis's experience and calm head. 

Hogan for smith as a focal point 

it really showed didnt it. We should have won anyway...but those two would surely have steered us there. Feel so disappointed tonight. Hope the team hasn't annoounced its character ie close but no cigar

    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.

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
