  • 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.

6. Viney set the tone from the middle along with 

5. Oliver was just fantastic around the clearances and his workrate was exceptional 

4. Hibberd just great whether reading the play or with his composed use from defence which set us up moving foward and opening up Adelaide 

3. Salem as above

2. Vince won the vital battle against Sloane

1. Tmac turned the game when he went forward work rate and second efforts really worried the Crows defenders

Sorry but your votes shouldn't count if you don't have Hibberd in there somewhere

6) Viney - dominant, fearless, inspirational

5) Hibberd - if he played for any other team would be being talked up as unanimous AA selection

4) Petracca - looked like a Dangerfied clone when he went on to the ball. That contested mark and goal just screamed confidence. Total beast.

3) Clayton Oliver - made Jacobs hitouts look worthless. A genius reader of the play.

2) TMac  - his move forward helped turn the game.   Goodwin is a proactive coach.

1) Bernie Vince - obliterated Sloane

Unlucky - Salem, Jetta, Pedersen, Jones, Frost

Interesting how everyone sees the game differently. I look forward to the coaches' votes.

6 - Petracca. Finally got to play midfield and scoured the midfield like a Dustin Martin / Scott Pendlebury hybrid after half time.

5 - Hibberd. Huge.

4 - Viney. Back to 2016 levels the past two weeks.

3 - Oliver. 30 touches and goal of the year. Unbelievable tackler too.

2 - Vince. Best tagging effort since Simon Godfrey on Nathan Brown in 2001.

1 - TMac. Keep him forward please.

N. Jones deadset stiff to miss votes. Frost is excellent but still can be a bit nervy under a high ball. Salem was good but his stats are inflated from the kick in play ons. Jetta was huge on Betts during 'the run'.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
