    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 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.

Not sure why people are worried about who's going to line up against us next week v West Coast when we have a big assignment against the Bullies who get back four of their better premiership players for this Sunday's "season defining" game at Etihad.

What happened to one week at a time?

Boring.

Love this result. Swans are rubbish and a team above us loses.  Perfect.

It's more efficient to do one week at a time two weeks at a time. Economy of scale.

Clubs and players have their cliches so here's some other mangled cliches to help answer your question: If you're not looking at the big picture then you're not seeing the woods for the trees

AFL.com.au click bait states "a star saint in doubt" but you when I clicked through to the story I find out that it's only Joke Carlisle who is in doubt to play...

Also an update to my post last night that Mitchell had been reported, it was actually Selwood reported for striking Mitchell (not the other way around), but Mitchell still likely to be looked at by MRP for his attempt to strangle Selwood in response... (If only MRP stood for Melbourne Review Panel - he'd be out for sure.)

Any ladder-obsessives  to tell me whom I should support tonight - St Kilda or North?   (Personal prefernece is of course St Kilda, but the ladder looms.)

Hmm it's a tough one, but I think I'll actually be going for the Saints. Although they are only game behind us I think North are stronger and will end up as more of a challenger. I also hate North.

Not really sure though.

Short term a North win is better as it would then leave both teams a game and a lot of percentage behind. Long term who could ever know the way this year has gone.

North's run home is not  too bad

The only teams they play who are now in the 8 are Essendon, Port and us.

St Kilda have a much tougher run with Richmond twice, Port, Eagles , Essendon and us plus a game against the Swans in Sydney .

Based on the run home a North loss might be best at this stage.

North for sure. Will put both teams at 5-7 with percentages below 100.  So while they will both still be in the finals hunt,  they'd both need to win 7 of their last 10 games making it hard for either to make it, and extremely unlikely both make it.

not really.  They may both end up 2 points ahead of us with poor percentages.  Better that one of them is 4 points worse and may battle us on percentage.  Trouble is which one, and guessing what happens to them in the rest of the year. 

Pertraccattack and Diamond Jim are both equally persuasive.  Arrggghhhhh.....

Just on a different match, I find it incredible that Richmond (on the betting side of things) is going in as the underdog vs Sydney at the MCG. 

I know pretty much everyone agrees that Richmond aren't as good as their 4th placing has them, and Sydney aren't as bad as they're 14th placing has them, but it just seems completely backwards.

We really have to put Norf away or we are going nowhere.

North are an unknown unknown .

Saint are a known unknown.

If you know what I mean.

The crowd is amazing ..... they had more for Carlton v GWS last week on a cold afternoon.

Thought I'd jump on here and see a stream of people complaining about how we "shouldn't have" lost against the Roos. Turns out I was wrong. Maybe Demonland is maturing.

I was waiting until they're 10 goals down, but at this rate I won't be waiting long

Give Shuey a week for the hit on Dangerfield please.

Low impact, unintentional, contact actually initiated by the player lying on the ground. No cause to suspend Shuey. It would be a travesty for him even to be fined for it. The MRP should apologise to Shuey for wasting his time. Case closed !!!!!

    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,
