  • 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.

Their zone and midfield pressure stifled the supply to Kennedy that day. Frawley was a good player though.

Hodge was " admirable " today, we were reminded by the commentators in the final quarter. Within 10 seconds, he had kicked into the man on the mark and handballed the ball straight to a Geelong player. He has been a champion but he's gone now. There are too many holes in the Hawthorn team now, not being filled by the likes of Hartung,Sicily, Langford or Vickery. Is it too much to hope for the Weagles to deliver another 86 point thumping to the beleaguered Hawks  next week??? We can only hope !!!!

Geeze.. there's being bitter and the there's just being pathetic.. The guy served his time at Melb, played under the worst management of the clubs history still became AA.. 

Left (which we ended up getting with picks 2&3 with his compo) 

And you label his premiership "cheap" the fact that you label a premiership cheap when the club we support hasn't been able to achieve since TV was Black and White..

I am not saying he wasn't. But he jumped on board to ride the last wave..

most of the hard work was already done.

Whorethorn deserved it's 4 flags. Chip jumped on board late when most of the work was done

thus i consider it a cheap flag compared to a 2016 Bulldog Flag

Yeah.. winning a third flag in a row.. something rarely done.. incredibly cheap compared to winning 1 flag in 60 years..

HAAAAA ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

 

I take a small piece of pride knowing that it was definitely Melbourne that finally cracked them and made them come crumbling down.

Before Melbourne beat them - 9 wins in a row, just two losses for the season to round 18.

Since Melbourne beat them - 2 wins, 7 losses.

We can pin this one up next to Melbourne breaking Essendon, way back in the actual drug-cheating season.

Before losing to Melbourne, Round 10, 2012 - 8 wins, 1 loss.

After losing to Melbourne - 3 wins, 9 losses.

 

As a club, we achieve two things for other clubs. Getting their kids rising star nominations, and intervening on behalf of the football demiurge.

Our compo for Frawley was pick 3. We got pick 2 for finishing where we did.

Take off your eye patch and pure jealousy of a better club. I got what you were implying, I just think it's a ridiculous thing to say.

I have seen everyone of their putrid flags since '71. 

Worked with 3 Whorethorn Supporters who made my life hell in '87 & '88 ON A DAILY BASIS

I have no sympathy for Chip or Whorethorn Supporters

we could have used Chip on Saturday but he switched off in Mid 2014

Not sure who they'll trade, but you would think at least two of Hodge, Burgoyne and Gibson will call it quits at the end of the year.  Their list as a whole is looking light on for talent, especially in the key position areas, and after this year they will see even more experience disappear from the list.

I don't feel sorry for them in the slightest, but it was inevitable that they would take a fall after 4 flags.

Someone like poppy might hold some value to a team like the giants who don't really have a genuine small forward but is contending for a flag, I suspect they should try and get at least 2 top15 picks this year if they can

need a quick injection of young talent onto that list

I would be happy to see Melb trade for Bruest.

It's sort of hollow celebrating their demise.

You want to, but deep down those 4 flags in 8 years don't give you much reason to.

I don't mind watching them fall apart.

Never liked them much and their flags are irrelevant at this stage.

Their demise is quite enjoyable.despite their succces.

Thanks Einstein.. I was saying we were able to get two picks inside the top 3 instead of 1.

Quickly becoming one of my least favourite posters. Congratulations.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    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
