  • 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.

We are dominanting the gsme but not the scoreboard.

Our f50 connextion is our biggest weakness.

I think our biggest weakness is not being able to defend the opposition's counter attacks. Take that out and you take out the greater % of goals scored against us this year.

Tom McDonald has to play FF. Stop playing him up the ground. He is a gun tall forward!!!!!

Prob is playing out of the square, makes a lead and by the time they stop handballing it to each other he is on the back flank...

Only we could be dominating a team so much and only have 22 point lead. Inside 50s have been disgraceful, no one actually looking to see where the forwards are, Clarry’s centering up was actually the perfect example as he put it right where there was a cluster of suns players. 

Nibbler has been ok but that miss sums up why he’s becoming the new whipping boy. 

Salems goal at the end of the quarter will hopefully give the boys a boost.

He can't convert to save himself. Whereas Salem & Tom  McDonald.

16 effective disposals running @ 76% efficiency.  5 Clearances.  7 score involvements and 5 interceptions.  Arguably one of the best on field!

So many others missing easy stuff also and you pick Harmes out!??  Not renowned for goal kicking anyway.

Harmes with 20 touches.

Needs to do more damage with them DJ. Then he'd go to another level. Has transitioned nicely from a HFF to a mid supporting forward.

Could swap him with Trac when they switch positions.

We should be 10 goals up on this mob. Let us see if we can put em to the sword in the last half. Poor kicking is poor football.  ANB you should be embarrased.

If anyone is labeling him better than Petracca that might be by default - due to Brayshaw actually getting a kick the past fortnight. Petracca has dropped off of a cliff. I remember watching this guy as a junior and I'd of punted the house on Petracca making it. Just looks a burst player.

Yep, out of form is Trac. Not getting a lot of it and not doing much with it when he does.

Agree. He's going past Petracca IMO.  CP yet to get close to dominating a game. Set shots deplorable

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    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
