  • 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.

Nathan Jones' 250th.

Amazing reading through the comments on Facebook and other forums. Nathan Jones is universally respected by the AFL community.

Its extremely rare that AFL fans agree on anything.

What a great day for the club and the Jones boy!

Congrats to our Cap on an amazing 250 games of consistent never say die footy.

The boys did him proud.

Onya Jonesy. 

Loved all the tributes this week. Will go down as a great of the club. And the only thing worth holding our heads up about in the dark days.

Congrats to Jonesy on a marvellous career. I fully believe he can be around for the 6 or 7 years he thinks he can be.

It's crazy to think that Jordan Lewis of all people is very likely to be the games record holder at the Melbourne Football Club ahead of David Neitz before long. He's got 14 games to go to reach that mark. Full credit to him. He won't have his Hawthorn fans at the game to recognise 300 and 307 but they are still going to be legitimate accomplishments (if and when they come).

I hope all Melbourne supporters get out to acknowledge it (but secretly I hope Jonesy's still around long after to claim back the record for the stalwart Dees).

I will celebrate his 300th as a great of the game but the 307th is meaningless. It’s about how many times you front up in the red and blue.

Same with me.

I imagine there will be few that will ever reach 300 again after this last of the pre-sport science days crop goes, so Jones may well end up the forever-longest-serving Dees player when (and it's been more when than if in my mind for a few years now) he reaches that 307 mark.

Some great words from Jack Viney and Nathan Jones on social media today.

It's been pretty s..t being a demons supporter over the past decade but we get to walk away from all the lousy defeats every weekend.

This bloke has had to front up every Monday and every pre-season and lead the club. 

Great to see him finally enjoying his footy.

Lewis is on 29 so has 278 to go, Jones only has 57 to go. I have a sneaking suspicion Jonesy might get there first.

It would be fantastic if Lewis gets there,  as it means that he is contributing well and the team is getting those benefits. 

It would be rather challenging for him to make it to 100 club games.

Nathan Jones record will stand along very nicely with David Neitz, Melbourne and AFL Hall of Famer.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 08 vs Geelong

    It's Game Day and the two oldest teams in the competition, the Demons and the Cats, come face to face in a true 8 point game. The Cats are unbeaten after 8 rounds whilst the Dees will be keen to take a scalp and stamp their credentials on the 2024 season. May the 4th Be With You Melbourne.

    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.

    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
