  • 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.


If we lose to Brisbane I will...

The coach,s future would be looking shakey. If he cannot get a win in the first three with this group then the question will be is he any good?

Yep, you are spot on. I dont want to waste the talent we have, as its the best list we have had in years.

I was hoping that was the case. If the ACB have any spine. There should be three people disqualified for life and a number of others for the remainder of 2018. However I will not hold my breath.

Avoid the grand kids for fear of telling them that the Easter Bunny is a pretend story, put about by adults to keep them happy .................... just like the fairy stories about the resurgence of the mighty Demons.

Imagine if we lost to Brisbane and then North.

If we lose to North AGAIN this year, I will seriously give up on life.

I am going overseas for work, and specifically organised my trip so that I fly out straight after the North game because I can't possibly miss us beating them finally! 

If we lose, at least I can enjoy unlimited champagne in business class to drown my sorrows.

I just wonder if the coaching group at the Club read these posts, to internalise the sentiments of history since 1964 that have been endured by the MFC supporters. We even speak to one another in terms of imminent Domesday outcomes and cannot help being hesitant to dare a win or its likelihood, let alone a chance at finals footy. 

We see the talent that we had in the past and have in the present but we do not see coaching making that significant difference to achieving success. We just get monotonous excuses, monologues and distanced communications - so I also wonder if these are what the players, in turn, receive. We just pick a team based upon 'form in the pre-season' and retire our players to the gym for recovery from the Grim Reaper each week. Is coaching exploiting the patient members of the Club? Time to deliver, folks!

Prepare for a long, tortuous season...

Really, we need to do more than just win.  Surely, if we can't put away last year's wooden spooners with a convincing win both on the scoreboard and on the field, we will be just making up the numbers should we make the final eight.

We let hubris get to us in the last game vs the Lions.  Instead of pressing our advantage and getting a big win we relaxed and nearly lost it.  No room for that on Saturday - this is a game where we need to make a statement.  Win convincingly!  Take no prisoners!

yell, shout, get abusive,  give up of the demons and footy altogether, announce to anyone who will listen that footy is "a stupid [censored] game anyway"

then 5 days later completely forget all that and get excited and enthusiastic of how well Melbourne will do against the Kangas

    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

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    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

    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.
