    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 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.

Lets hope the umpires don't give lots of frees against Max like his 'straight arm' ruck work, like last time we played the saints- wasn't it StK that complained to the AFL about Max's style not long before the game.  Poor sportsmanship compounded by the AFL/umpires blindsiding the mfc and Max about his 'faulty' technique.

Hope Max wreaks some revenge.  And hope we we thrash them for their poor sportsmanship in whinging to the AFL. 

Dees with a percentage boosting win!

Maybe Max should invest in a neck tattoo?

Once again it comes down to mindset, we need to put them away early.

...and then carry on with it. Don’t forget they nearly came back and rolled us last year after a six goal lead early

There are two simple options on the table...

Beat St. Kilda 

Or

Become them.

The media, with incessant demands for website clicks, viewers and readers, need a team each week who is 'doomed' or 'disappointing'. They will be all over us like stink on a monkey should we drop this one.

The media are waiting for us to stuff up today. Some said yesterday imagine if Melbourne drop the game tomorrow. This is a game we all know we should win and win well but not at all surprised if we drop it. 

I just hope we are past that stage. Today we need to to and win well. Get that percentage up and get a 2 game buffer on the teams below us. 

Cannot wait. I expect Maxy to dominate the ruck and our midfield to be to strong.

Going to Shiddihad today but I am not confident. Saints will have intensity and if we start like we did against the bombers we will be down by 4 goals at half time.

Interesting St Kilda have gone in with 2 ruckman who are both over 200cm tall. They have a pretty experienced and tall backline, so our forwards need to be really switched on from the get go. Feel like this would have been the perfect game for jeffy..

Armitage coming in gives them more experience and a hard body around the contest.

Think this will be a closer game then many people think.

It's the wife's birthday so I can't make it.... might try sneak a few quarters on TV.

Really got to come out and put the Saints away. There are no stand out sides in this competition and everyone seems to be inconsistent (except the Tigers and Eagles). So we've got a huge chance over the next 3 weeks to establish ourselves as contenders.

She's had birthdays before and she'll have them again. Why do wives think their silly birthday is more important than a big dees win over the saints ?? Go to the game and enjoy it.

The Saints have had a week of 'soul searching' and 'home truths' so I'd expect them to come out hard.  Withstand their early flurry, get the game on our terms, and then let our superior talent dictate terms.

We’ve had countless of these soul searching sessions in the past and it’s meant SFA  so it’s important to destroy their confidence early and watch them unravel.

Today is about percentage. A close win or a loss of any kind will be an abject failure by players and coaches. We need to start winning games against bottom sides, and winning them well.

Dees by 50 points

    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
