    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'm broken.  

I've hung in there all these years and continually paid memberships, travelled to games, even when I need to use annual leave the next day. 

But now I just cant do this anymore. The anger is getting worse watching this game style and the constant choking and lack of leaders. It's ruining my weekends.  

It's been a blast, but I'm done.

Yeah really had enough of Watts.

I've always been a fan, but these last few games have arguably have been the biggest games in his career in terms of what's at stake and he has been beyond woeful.

Decisions need to be with this entire playing group.

Now hoping we can win at least 2 more  to have 12 wins    At  least improvement of 20 per cent on last year.  Finals  was lost  with the freo/ hawks and last week.       Very disappointing..  shattered !!!!        (The MFC has done it to me again !!   but I will be there next week)

When all is said and done it would be great to have an improvement.

I hope no one turns up to the G next week!!!

We have given all as supporters this season and yet the with the season on the line, we couldn't beat the 17th placed team and followed it up with a performance that's Northern Football League worthy.

I wonder if Nathan Jones is punching holes in doors this week. He should be punching heads including his own.

No wonder why Zak signed with Sydney. And I just heard Lever nominated Collingwood.

Was happy to give Watts a break in his first two games back, coz he's a quality player.

But as they say in baseball... three strikes, and you're out. Absolutely dreadful 2 and a half games, you could argue Weideman would be offering more at this stage.

Stupid footy going inside 50, and still can't believe we just didn't do what GWS just did in the first quarter; slow it down! It's not complex footy!

So many players need to lift :-/ but if the margin is about 30 points at 3QT, I give us a chance.

One of the most gutless and insipid halves of football I've seen, some of the players are just useless, in fact most of them are. Are they frightened of the wind?

Can't be bothered watching the last half, I bet Goodwin would go home if he could.

Watts - that effort to chase with 2mins to go was disgusting, in fact its this type of [censored] poor effort that should have him traded.

Jones - Such a Demonland favorite, have always said hes a poor footballer with no brain getting cheap handballs out the back. He was our best player in [censored] times and still a B/C grader. And dont even get me started on his lack of leadership.

Leadership - Where? None of them can hit a target anyway and people expect the kids to look up to these clowns?!

Goodwin - lucky wins this year, has lost games at selection and besides TMac forward hasn't inspired me on game day and still hasn't learnt this bomb long into the forward line doesn't work, how many weeks is this in a row?? A couple of months?

Gameplan - What actually is it?

Something has happened recently, we are full strength FFS. Are they burnt out?

We wont make the 8, and don't deserve to. Same as last year, when heat is on we fold like princesses.

You will not see a more putrid half of football by this pathetic excuse for a club than what I have just witnessed. Further heightened by watching the energy and smart play that got us 3 goals against the wind in the first 6 minutes. Where was the leadership passed that point is it all too hard once your opponent actually has a dip as well?

I don't care how much we lose by show some heart and urgency and throw the magnets around to get things moving. Get Salem and Hunt into the midfield and try and attack the game and man. Put Watts behind the ball and see if he can redeem himself.

Big Watts fan, but he needs time at Casey. 

Not 100% sure if that's the whole problem. Our goal kickers have been down the last 5 weeks. Forward structure and forward entries have been woeful. 

Troy Chaplin needs to go. Forward structure was better under his predecessor.

Time to start planning for 2018. We've stuffed this. We had some good moments this year, but at the business end of the season we have turned to [censored]. We need more hard running quick mids and some more offensive players.

I thought the display up to now is pretty offensive

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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

    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
