  • 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.

Can't even discuss the actual game yet, only how the win felt. I was at the ground. I brought a ticket through Ticketmaster and some how ended up sitting in an Eagles reserved seating section. I

My wife walked into the front room where I was watching the game last night just as Plugger Mac kicked the winner. She looked at me strangely, as I was standing right in front of the TV shaking my fists in a more animated version of Goody. It took me a while to explain we'd just gone in front with 20 secs to go because I was panting quite hard.

she understood in the end, I think. Took me a while to wind down!

Two big things I've noticed in the last few weeks:

- our players aren't all going for the ball at once so there is (nearly) always someone running past to receive.  I was amazed at how much space we found last night, especially in the last quarter, when the ball seemed locked up and heading for a ball up.  Caught eagles flat footed!

- we don't seem to use the 'zone' defence quite so much.  There is a lot more one-one-one.  Also a player or two is staying back so there haven't been many 'out the back' goals.  It seems we are getting better at knowing when to zone and when not to zone.  I suspect Lewis has a lot to do with ensuring this happens.

These show how we have refined the execution of our game plan from last year and earlier this year as our players mature and gain experience.  And there is more maturing to happen.  Exciting times.

What a ripping win!  4 in a row woohoo.  That game was  exciting all the way through - we are a 4 quarter team now.
 

I am worried about who will get up for next week,  with a few niggles and injuries.

I loved the end the most - when all the players had a look of pure delight on their faces, another monkey off the back - they believe in the team and that's why we are winning - team first!!

Oh and its awesome having Maxy back out there

So just to clarify....

Dimma is coach of the year so far. Collingwood have the best midfield, and the Swans are currently the inform team of the comp?

Who is Mark Robinson.

To the person who suggested to trade T.Mac, what were you thinking of? Someone mentioned where can we get another Mac from,since both Macs were pick No.43 perhaps that was the telling factor. Just another theory. Absolute brilliant win.Go the Dees.

Win off a six-day break. Win a tough interstate road-trip. Win with some key players out. Win against the umps and a vociferous home-crowd. All that stuff. But one thing not mentioned so much - win at Domain, and on its dimensions. We weren't able to play our usual game - and it was telling. Yet we still found a way to win. Anyone, anywhere.

When Hannan goes to the contest, either something good happens for us or something bad happens for the opposition. To my way of thinking, this guy is the pick up of the year....... for any team.

For the punters out there, I took Melbourne into Melbourne Storm for the double. It was 41/1.

Some notice next time pls WW!  Wd mate.  Yes I saw him for first time a few years back with son in tow as a budding guitarist.  He didn't know what hit him.  Actually I didn't know what hit me as I hadn't realised how much NY was into grunge & heavy vs his ballads.  Think he might have sung one ballad or two max on the night lol.

Pineapple after witnessing his first game I saw him as a bit like a smaller version of Fyfe.  Looking good so far and getting better by the month!  That snap off his left in heavy traffic was typical of his goal sense, real natural footy instincts and quick reflexes. A real natural that you don't see much of anymore.

    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.

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
