  • 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.

Just surprised the cats aren't getting "tired" yet toward the end of their games, and who coaches them again, ah, that's right.

Same at TWSNBN they won't get tired, they got a good coach too

Anyone else wondering if North are tanking?

They have rested/dropped Zeibell/Goldstein.  Now Tarrant is 'injured' in the warm up and a debutante is coming in. 

I find the gifting a game to Ess nauseating.

A freebie win to drug cheats Essendon, and then North will bring all their best players back to face us next week.

That is a weird plan! 

They have a better chance of beating Ess today than us next week:  We almost beat them in Tassie last year when Goldstein was BOG and is now struggling where ever he plays.  We took it up to them a few months ago and even North supporters say they won because they had a 19th player on their side who was dressed in yellow. 

I would love that to be Scott's plan and watch it backfire spectacularly when we thrash them.  We are no longer someone's 'bunny'!

The conspiracy theorist in me says ... no.... it's just the usual MFCSS

Fascinating though in that we are only one of three teams North plays at Iceberg Park (Hobart). The others were Adelaide and GWS. Yet they played Eagles and Suns at Docklands.

Another example of our terrible fixture

The Suns must be the most underwhelming club in the league. Still, they knock off the Dogs and that's about curtains for them.

 

The only bright thing in that club's future is their name.

They really should relocate to Tassie.

It would save everyone money and give the Lions some chance in a really tough market

Doggies home against the Suns  with a good win up north.

Hell that ladder around us is looking so crowded .

My analysis says we should hope for a draw between Saints and Swans tonight but failing that a close win by the Saints.

Keeps us one win in front of the Swans who would otherwise pass us on percentage.

You could make a case that a Saints loss is better but it's so close.

Not sure who I'm barracking for tonight - Swans or the Saints.  I don't think it matters too much though as I think the Swans might give them a touch up.

I am hoping for a tough encounter with numerous injuries / reports and a 1 point win to Sydney.

you make a good point but remember a few years back where the SA supporters didn't turn up for the first final because they were saving their money for the bigger finals to come.

Geelong will argue that the extra revenue from finals games is part of their stadium business case.

Other clubs should simply say ... ok but we want 50% of the seats offered to non Geelong members. If that were to happen the Geelong members would soon be screaming for the game to be moved.

That's exactly what would happen as the AFL owns the gates/stadium for the finals.

Looks like joey Montagna is close to done for the season and career(hamstring).Usually has solid games against us.

Is it all over for NIck. Watching tonight's game I have seen him get two hand balls.

And the Saints still rely on both of them, proving they are fools gold and a team going nowhere.

Also Callum Sinclair is gonna kick 10 goals on them.

Classic St.Failure.

    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,

    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

    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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. 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
