  • 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.

Audio is broken, incorrect names and often calls do not match up with play.

I was playing Richmond and was in front for most of the game and they then kicked two quick goals in the last to be within a goal and the commentators said Richmond are completely out of this.

This game could not have been thoroughly tested prior to release and if so the developers could not be happy with the results. This is a beta version at best.

I wasn't going to buy this because I figured it'd be a disaster.

But now I see it's a complete catastrophe, I must buy it to see for myself.

Unless I can find a twitch stream and enjoy the comedy gold for free.

It's fun to play because it's AFL and who does love running Maxy inside fifty to kick a goal. Watts has great hands.

I feel like it'll be in the EB bargain bin pretty quickly, so I might hold off on experiencing such splendour for now.

But damned if the commentary mistakes don't make it tempting.

Maybe you and someone else from Demonland could live stream a multi-player match on twitch! I'd watch that!

I'd be up for that. I'd like to hone my skills before I completely embarrass myself though.

I feel like the entertainment value is better if you don't.

I'm selfish that way.

Hopefully another of the players is willing as well. Would be fun to watch :D

Perhaps the game designers have read Demonland. I'm sure there are many posts which say that watching football on Channel 7 and/or Foxtel is better without the commentary.

ah, going for hyper-realism then?

I like it.

There's a new one called "Kicking Behinds" on the App Store, give it a look it's good fun.

I just downloaded this last night, it's bloody hard but really good fun.

The reports about AFL Evolution are mixed to say the least, I might hold on to my money for a while longer I think.

Got the game. All the names of our players are mixed up. Hogan is called Hibberd by commentary. Garlett is Garland. TMac is number 28. Watts is called Watt. Richo's commentary sounds even more robotic than usual. 

So it is just like listening to BT!

Here's a decent review of the game.

I love this comment.

Speaking of frustration, don't be scared to move up the difficulties quickly. It will be tempting to stay on easy for a little bit to get your skills up, but the game really speeds up as you move up in the world and it makes for a more challenging experience. You'll be mashing the buttons to handball out of space like you're Clayton Oliver in no time.

The graphics look like rubbish from the videos.

Yeah they could be better.

As soon as the ball is in the air hold down Triangle (L2 / R2 +triangle for spoil / speccy) and release when the circle shrinks to become a solid colour.. same for rucking. Alternatively, if you can control the receiving player quickly enough (L1) use the right analog stick to bump the opposition and your player should mark by default (without pushing triangle.). I switched between the two ways but it's pretty frustrating. 

L1 to switch players without the ball rarely works. When kicking from a free kick L1 is also meant to cycle between receivers - nope.

AI players seem to be able to run over the mark / encroach the zone but whenever a controlled player is even remotely in the zone it's a 50m.

Audio is broken, incorrect names, calls do not match up with play and the 'audio engineer' must have mixed the sound with a $2 pair of earphones  - there is a quick fix though - muting the commentary in audio settings .

To change receivers you have to hold L1 and select a player with the right stick. Rucking is done by the right stick only.

    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.

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
