  • 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.

Geez, of all teams in the league we are allowing ourselves to be physically intimidated by Norf... Higgins especially. Our guys shouldnt be able to look each other in the eyes at half time for allowing that.

This. This is the Brereton line in the sand moment. we've never meant it, physically. I've lost count of the number of line in the sand have and never seen us mean it.

 

Now we're in touch (thanks Frost), we need to mean it. For once in 50 years.

This reminds me. This is exactly what happened last year against Norf in Launceston. They wrecked us in the first quarter, and we got back into it in the 2nd. It was a battle of the rucks that day and North just got us in the end.

You’re mental. We’re back in the game because of him, Viney, Frost, Hannan and Salem.

The wife thinks I am when I watch the Dees but there is a limit and he always goes over it. Love his tagging but not when he gives away stupid free kicks, or get suspended maybe you do.

So I landed at Athens airport to see us 26 down (17 to 43). I depart for Istanbul with us 3 points down. Sheesh!

I like when he makes the opposition earn it and leads from the front. Maybe you don’t.

The Eagles actually outscored Norf after qtr time last week.

Clean Clearances

Melbourne .... 20 (7 centre)

North Melb ... 14 (8 centre)

Better ball movement in that quarter ... we're getting our game going. 

It's that downfield possession from our clearances that has improved - much better that quarter.

got to give hannan his credit, he is getting us back into this game

Agree, he is having a huge influence up forward.

We clearly are not liking North's heavy handed tactics. Why don't we hand out some of our own?

    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

    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
