  • 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.

I wonder if he will cop criticism like clarry, greenwood went the bump his elbow hit him in shoulder then slid up, Merrett through his head back like he had been hit by a train 

Difference is McKenzie was cleared for insufficient contact whereas Greenwood is looking at a couple of weeks no doubt.

Carlton and Collingwood both on 5 wins. We owe it to the league to ensure it stays that way. Must win tomorrow then get Watts and Tyson back vs Adelaide. Need to go into that game with 9 wins.

DemonOx - I do feel that way towards Howe, who sought a transfer to the Filth, to taste success.

Agree with doc roet - I feel for Dunny too.  Was always a tryer for us and never a show pony.  Just didn't / wouldn't / couldn't fit in to our new game plan.

I reckon posters who are calling for Walker to be suspended are only doing it because we play Adelaide next week.

He was shepherding, completely within the rules. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.

Essendon have a reasonable run home .....

6 games against teams outside the 8 and Adelaide

Meanwhile they lost to Brisbane last week.

Having said that, I'm concerned about their draw and they're only one win behind us if we lose tomorrow. They will be putting a lot more pressure on us for a top 8 spot than the Dogs, I reckon.

Hawthorn effectively lost but fixed their percentage...

But they can only drop one more and they have Geelong, Freo away, and Sydney in the next three weeks...

They beat Adelaide in Adelaide two weeks ago and drew with GWS today. With no Birchall, Frawley, Gibson, O'Meara, Puopolo, Rioli or Stratton either. IMO they're capable of doing it, though I think ultimately they'll fall short.

Sydney, Essendon and Hawthorn are all going to push the top 8 and if we drop tomorrow's game we are going to feel that pressure as much as any other top 8 club.

I think the plan should be to beat Carlton tomoz.

I thought his head snapped back after an elbow to the jaw. Different angle showed it better and less likely to be a dive. greenwood will be having a holiday.

GWS v Swans next week .... should be a big game

On at the same time as we are playing in Darwin

 

Ok... now for the big question the answer to which depends upon your degree of optimism re the Dees.....

Saints or Toiges

I'm hoping for the Saints ... I want that fourth spot !!

You just have to learn to think like a Hawk or Swan supporter... our natural place is on or near to the top of the ladder

Go Saints

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
