  • 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.

Confident, nervous, reading everything, anxious, ready, not ready, sensing a win, sensing a draw, sensing a flogging, posting on Demonland, groaning at other Demonlander's posts, too much coffee already, already thinking about my first Shiraz, cider or Dalmore 18yo scotch.... , what time is it x 100, constantly checking the pathetic AFL app for updates.

Love/hate Gameday. 

This should be pinned to the top of every weeks game day thread. GOLD.

Hey Col, the game is also on Ch 7.

That equation works well in Australia. Alas, I live overseas (though I did live close to Stud Road in Rowville at one stage).

Sam Mclure reported post game last night that JOM will be a late out for the Hawks.

Which of the Hawks emergencies Langford, Sicily and Brand played yesterday. I don't think the first two did, which could be a replacement for JOM and one held over.

This is a game we should win and be expected to win, but being melbourne this is a game they could drop. 

What I want to see is straight kicking, less handballing and proper kick outs from full back. And of course a win. Love to see Jesse play well and I do hope he is in the right headspace to play. Couldnt go last week so looking forward to see how Pederson goes as well. 

Come on melbounre just go out there and beat them.

Third game in 13 days - test will be if the fitness staff have managed to freshen squad or will there be a flat spot. 

Hawthorn are playing their 3rd game in 14 days... in fact most sides technically play 3 games in a 14 day period

This game has me seriously nervous... They are due to put in a reasonable performance & unfortunately a lot of sides have a bit of a mental edge on us knowing we can be mentally fragile.. They'll be up for the fight from the start, this isn't going to be a walk in the park like the saints had last week against them. This is HUGE test to see where this football club is at, Melbourne of old would drop this game... We lose this & finals is a long road. 

I haven't picked up on any mental fragility this year - rather periods of crap football.

If the Hawks come into this game thinking that way then they'll get rolled.

I just think we're gonna be far too fierce at the coal face for them to get effective first possessions.

We must be ruthless today. The Top 8 has opened right. 

Win each Quarter Demons

start on the front foot.

Lewis will star today

winning each quarter by a couple of goals would be a pleasant change............ have we done it during the last ten years?

He'll square up on Rioli when he kicks the sealer late in the second quarter after a 25 possession first half.

Good plan but the security staff are not quite that dumb.

It would come under the heading of "suspicious bulge in the pants"

..... but they are not going to go searching inside your pre-warmed designer thermal underwear ....... or are they?

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
