  • 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.

At the g m team walikng off after a group meeting in the middle.  jack viney.  Walking ok with some type of support strap on upper foot. Seemed upbeat

A huddle in the middle 1.5 hours before the game, is a tad unusual :rolleyes:

Revving each other up and getting into the right head space, I guess...would love to have been a fly on the wall, so to speak. 

 

Good to here Jack is walking ok.   May he play again soon.

My band is playing in the Sydney suburb of Engadine (south end of that godforsaken area known as "the Shire") which for me is a 45 minute drive.  We start playing at 2pm but I have to get there earlier to make sure everything is ready to go. So, by the time we have played and I've managed to drive back to civilisation, the game will be over. 

Crowd gonna be giving each other strange looks when the band is playing Lynyrd Skynyrd and you break out with "Its a grand old flag" during your last set. Just remember to take out your game day radio earphone before you start playing.

Peter Jackson just interviewed on SEN

What an impressive spokesperson for the club.. takes and speaks no BS.

The standout point made was that the club appears on target to post a million dollar profit this year?

Have a great time all you Demons going to the G - I can't make it today, probably a good thing as I'm so nervous, I could puke!

Gotta go today, boys, gotta go today ❤️?

I can so relate to all of this. I was 15 in 1987, still remember how amazing getting to the finals felt.

And I too know that the world won't end today if the worst happens. There are bigger things going on- believe it or not. Like the fact my father isn't around this time, and all sorts of other things too.

Still got excitement building within though. Good to see many other Dees fans on the train.

Footy does bind us together. Generation to generation.

IMO if we lose we miss finals - Adelaide will either have nothing to play for (If Geelong wins) or, alternatively, might even want to finish 2nd to get an easier finals schedule (e.g. avoiding Sydney or drawing Richmond).

But our destiny is in our hands and we should really be able to win this game. We play well against Collingwood, we've won our last two under similar pressure, and we have a strong side on the park.

    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.

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.

    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
