    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 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.


GAME DAY - Round 4, 2017

Gotta say, that was a really [censored] annoying game. The ball would spill out and go their way. They would pump it into their forward line and look dangerous and we would do the same and look terrible.

Weideman has gotta spend some time at Casey. He did well to fly at the ball at times but simply doesnt give enough. 

Hannan hasnt done enough since round 1.

Melkshem.... ffs. Just butchers it too often.10 kicks for the game. 4 Clangers. 

Fyfe, Mundy, Neale, Sandilands. All so good.

Great game to watch.

However, this is a reality check for us. We have work to do.

Spencer played fairly well. I liked Watts' game. Jeffy was great too.

However, Weid needs to go back to Casey to develop. Bring in Pedo to team up with Hoges next week.

Yea thats what people called for all week but the FD didnt listen

Jesse Hogan just smoked a whole pack whilst sipping Martinis on his boat off Rottnest Island.-That was stressful for him.

I know how he feels.

That was a game of two halves,and also four quarters.It had it all.

Ross Lyon is a wily old egomaniac.Different outwardly to Roos but ultimately they are both stats men.

I'm hoping to see a lift in game day player switches during momentum shifting quarters like the third.

Im not comfortable with those lapses and I want it eradicated from our system .

So mad with our selection decisions right now.  For the fourth week in a row Weideman was [censored] useless.

Smith, Pedesen, Bradshaw, anyone would have done better playing full forward today.  In a game that we lost by 3 points playing Weideman has cost us the 4 point.

I'm putting all the blame on one player here, but I don't think it is unwanted.  I can excuse him getting out muscled in the air, but what I absolutely despised about his game today, was that when he lost the arial contest he gave NOTHING at ground level - looked almost disinterested at times.  Complete passenger - back to Casey and show some intent.

Every week is a new game... we might not even be this close next week... but we have no doubt that we would have been a better team today with T Smith or Pederson instead of Weed. We will welcome Hibberd with open arms when he is ready. Tom McDonald had an ordinary game... compared to his best. All focus should be on the third Qtr because we played reasonably well in the other three.

If this result is what it takes, then that is disappointing.

The kid had a decent start to his career. He has had a taste. Don't bloody completely stuff his confidence now by playing him when he clearly isn't ready.

If the mantra is to give people games when they deserve it, sadly, Weid doesn't. It's not a whipping boy thing. It's just the facts. 

The club realized Oscar Mc needed some time at Casey as he wasn't ready. The same call has to be made with Weid.

Weideman has got to go, injured or not... he has barely contributed. It will take a very good year at Casey before I am convinced he is up to it. I would rather see Keilty, Pederson, T Smith and even Hulett before I have to watch Weed again

    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

    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
