  • 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.

It's taken till half way through the 3rd quarter before they finally delivered a proper ball to one of their forwards.

Serves Adelaide right. I always thought it was the wrong thing to do when the slacked off in Round 23.  Karma.

What

The premiership was there for the taking this season, the most even ever. Richmond took their chances, which is more than can be said for our club.  They deserve the flag.

It shouldn’t be deliberate when the opposition can actually grab the ball before it goes out

It took a few weeks but this could be the karma for throwing the round 23 game. 

The way they are playing today, I don't think they thew it.  Tex has done nothing, just like 3/4 of the rest of their side.  Adelaide would have to be one of the flakiest minor premiours in a number of years.

This would have to be the most insipid performance by a team that dominated a season that i have ever seen. Not even giving a yelp. And if anyone thinks that Lever is worth even one first round pick then you have got rocks in your head. 

Agree with the first part.

But Lever is the only defender that's been half decent under pressure. Not perfect, but half-decent. Their other defenders are an absolute rabble.

This could start to get real ugly.

Tigers have played Grand Final footy; high pressure, contested. They've made mistakes but any time they have they've jumped straight back into the contest and won it back. 

Tigers are still definitely getting the rub of the umps but they've been in the contests for longer and that usually is rewarded.

I've been waiting all game to see some sort of game plan from Adelaide. Might get to see it in the last Q when Richmond is 50pts up and doing laps of honour... but geez. They have put in a shocker. No plan, no forward line, no idea.

No way does Martin get the Norm Smith medal. Houli by a mile. 

The Crows just so fumbly and overawed. I don't get the unrating of Lever. For the most part he has been onenof their better players.

Crows gone unless Tex steps up.

They've been poor up forward.

Expect it of Jenkins, I don't really rate him...watch him win them the game now that I've said that.

...but seriously he plays like a rover in a big mans body. Looking for the crumbs.

Nup, I was right the first time.

Leave him off the last Q, he's a total liability on the ground.

    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.

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

    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
