  • 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.

Not a lot of must watch games this weekend.

I suppose the big one is Swans v Bombers on Friday night.

A few other 50/50 games in Bulldogs v North and Saints v Suns that will probably end the losers finals chances.

Collingwood v Port could be interesting as well.

Who wins the Dogs vs Roo's game?

I'm half expecting the Dogs to be seething and come out and play an absolute blinder but then again...

They would need to flick a switch.. they have looked disinterested all season.

And I am not sure they are good enough to flick a switch - they may be reigning premiers but they arent a powerhouse that will win multiple flags like the Hawks, Cats or Lions dynasties.

Ablett plays his 300th at 4:40 against the saints at Etihad on Sunday. Thats going to attract a massive crowd. Probably deseves a bit better. at least work it out so he could miss a game so he could play it at home. It may have bought a few more people through the gate. 

Anyway I want sydney to thrash or just beat the bummers tomorrow night and nothing would make me laugh more if carlton beat richmond.

Crows can't handle white clash strips in Adelaide. 

I think Hawthorn are still a class side (on their night). A few handy additions tonight.

But, give the Crows time. I still think its hard to beat them over there. We have managed to do it more than most. But we have had to play damn good football to do so.

Still be a bigger crowd than what would turn up at Metricon

Yep, good side in tonight, I give them a chance. But a lot has to go right. 

I hope the Crows smash them though.

Coffee at the ready to ensure I'm still awake to watch Hawks lose again!!! (What a year Hawks playing poorly regularly and us playing well regularly)

Just remember they beat us! What were we thinking ?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️?‍♂️

Somebody needs to tell Hamish that Hawthorn are crap, that most of their players are shadows of what they were, and that the non-Hawthorn supporting AFL general public hold very little goodwill towards a side that won 3 premierships in a row by exploiting Free Agency. 

We get it. You support them. The rest of us [censored] hate them, so shut your gob.

Hawks are playing like they did against us - Roughead, O'Brien and Gunston tall up forward, with Poppy at their feet...they had Rioli against us too.

Defensively thy're looking sound - Burton and Howe both stand taller with Birchall alongside them, Burton in particular is an impressive youngster.

Their pressure is much better tonight.

    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.

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

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.
