  • 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.

Just preparing for the treck to the G.

The maid is currently warming my designer thermal underwear and I may even pack a hip flask.

Careful how you pack the hip flask in the thermals, those around you may think you are 'happy'

Won't be able to watch as I have just moved and my internet isn't up and firing yet. I am writing this from my smartphone.

McEvoy is more of a daunting prospect in the ruck than Bellchambers, so hopefully the Bear can put two good performances together in a row.

We should win by 4 goals but the players should be taking nothing for granted. 

Mc Evoy moves as fast as Herman Munster!

Make sure the hip flask doesn't move to front and square Uncle otherwise the police might have to arrest you being in possesion of an offensive weapon!

I hope I'm really happy on the way home Saty!

You do know treck is an archaic form of trek, doing yourself a disservice there BBO

I have the same hope, main stress after a loss for me is trying to prevent the lovely lady's scarf going into each bin we pass, as we walk back home through the lovely East Melbourne

Dogs v Tigers last night

Hit outs: 50-27 in favour of the Tigers

Clearances: 40-32 in favour of the Dogs

Tigers were not playing their number one ruckman so that could be a factor

Oliver will probably be tagged today

Welcome any comments on strategies to look out for at the match today

Very confident we'll flush this lot to where they belong.

I'm really nervous about this game. It's a game we typically lose and with all the upsets it's getting pretty tight for top 8 positions 

Lose and we are on the same number of wins as Carlton, facing the Crows at home, on the rebound.

Think about that...

As a list they have almost a full year more of experience than us. And am sure they'd love to reminds us, "A young man  is a theory, an old man is a fact."

But I prefer Miles Davis' wisdom. "A legend is an old man with a cane known for what he used to do. I'm still doing it."

Should and will win today.

Spanked them last time..... Should have won the one before.

Current form suggests they haven't sufficient manpower or the legs to go with us for 4qtrs.

Another Good win coming up.

Its there for the taking.

As I approach the ground, a flock of ravens is being pursued by a single, pure white bird, and a cloud the size and shape of a UPS delivery van passes high overhead. I hear distant music, and its melancholy refrain reminds me of a time long ago, before the deliberate out of bounds rule was ruined. Two small figures perch in a tree overhead, speaking in a language unknown to me. I ignore them. Subtle movements in the earth beneath my feet trouble me, but patterns in the fallen leaves may suggest benign times ahead. The wind cries, 'Mary'.

Dees by 24 points.

    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

    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. 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
