  • 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.

Heading to the G soon and something feels a bit different this year. The weight of expectation should be relished not shied away from. I want the players to feel the pressure, last year we dominated Geelong at Etihad for three quarters but a combination of key injuries and inaccuracy cost us.

No Dangerfield, but an elite midfield trio of Ablett, Selwood, and Duncan is a strong test. Pity Viney isn't there to give Gaz PTSD but the midfield group should be up to the challenge.

Dees by 18pts.

We could be 10 goals up with 5 minutes to go and I'd still be [censored] myself.  40+ years of supporting this club will do that to you.

I wonder what it feels like to go to a match and feel totally confident that your team is going to win? I have never know that feeling. I am a 50 year + Demons supporter. Chronic MFCSS suffe

About to head off to the G. The nerves are getting the better of me. I don't have the confidence in the team yet to say we'll win this one but I know that we can. We simply cannot afford to let the cats get out to an early start. Enough of the 5 goal headstarts. We have to play 120 minutes of footy. Go those Demons.

Geelong have 11 players under 50 games today. Not the end of the world if we lose but we should win imo. There is a reason we are favourites and it's not because Danger is out. End of the day if we want respect from the league we need to dish out a football lesson today. Sick of this club being pushed around by Geelong. Losing today and then beating Brisbane next week does zero for our credentials.

We also have 11 players under 50 games.

Absolutely agree with what you say otherwise.

Doesnt stop my normal certain knowledge at the first game of the season that we will lose

I think we'll win today and I'll be very disappointed if we don't. 

As @TickleMeTyson said, we dominated Geelong at Etihad last year. We've now got a year under our belts and don't have Dangerfield to worry about either. Stop Selwood and keep an aging Ablett quiet and we should kick a winning score.

Got a sick feeling of anticipation, I’m veering from faith in the group to full blown MFCSS. Viney out worries me greatly

You guys must be youngens as im heading for my first round for about the 45th time now and im not feeling anything!  The only apprehension i have is who's turn it is to shout the first pre-match frothy at the Transport bar

I'm leaving shortly but I'm not sure about today, not really convinced this is our best available team.                 

Anyway, I've seen us lose before when everyone thought we'd win, so it won't come as a shock if we lose again.

Go Dees. A good first up game at home against a decent performer over recent years. Quite a few questions will be answered in the hours to come. Hang in there everyone. :)

Best not mix that with beer 

Disagree.

We give all the oldies at the home a beer to wash down their pills. Works a treat.

Heart yearning, stomach churning, and Mrs 'oldfart tells me "it's only a game".  What would she know about such things?  It's nice to be among kindred spirits on here.

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    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

    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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.
