  • 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.

Should i be barracking for GW$ tonight?

Only if you believe that will affect how hard Adelaide go this week, or if you think we'll somehow win our way to the Semi-Final and you want us to play the Cats at the G after they lose to GWS in the Qualifying final…or something (I spend too much time on that damn ladder predicter).

Bottom line is…I don't think it really matters. The team that matters played today, and [censored] up big time (sorry Nasher).

I think a lot of the rooting for GWS reflects the attitude problem that is endemic at our club.  Good/great teams don't turn it on and off at will - they always come to play.  I don't think the outcome of tonight's match will have any impact on Adelaide's motivation.

 

 

(I would also pee in my own eyes before I hope for a GWS win)

Melbourne there is a team called Geelong playing tonight. They are playing for 2nd spot and a home final. The difference is to you today is they have gone out and will win it. 

They didn't choke, they have actually laid tackles and used the ball well. Because they are hungry and desperate for that home final. 

Just saying. 

On another note Port is giving the suns a bath.

Port to overtake swans on %?

if Tigers win well, They could overtake giants on %?

swans finish 6th....port finish 5th....if we make it play them in Adelaide?

Seems possible, think the Saints might cause an upset though.

Crows have no incentive to play for top spot.

Cue in the rack against the Eagles.

Where are we going for Mad Monday?

Wouldn't surprise me if the Crows rested Sloane tomorrow. 

Book your September holidays, folks. Save yourselves the angst and accept that West Coast are going to win. Clearly they have more to play for than our mob.

Gee the suns are a rabble. only 3 goals scored in 4 quarters. 35 scoring shots to 5. I know he isn't responsible for his team mates choices but hasn't Ablett led that team into a rabble. I know he gave up the captaincy last season but the culture has never been that good. 

He has probably packed up and come to victoria already.

Did a bang-up job establishing a prayer-circle in the playing group, so there's that.

Ablett's destroyed his integrity in the last few months. It's pretty clear he's giving the club a thinly-veiled middle finger because they're making a trade to Geelong difficult. Seems increasingly likely they'll force him to retire rather than get his way.

From what I understand, the Suns front-loaded his 3 year contract, so they are getting royally screwed if they release him from his contract after only 2 years. Pretty unfair on the Suns if he's already earned ~85% of his contract value and decides to walk.

Looks like the [censored] weren't at skilled stadium, they were at the G in red and blue jumpers.

    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

    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
