    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.

Yep, behind the goals at the Punt Road end, Wiz was having a poor game, Daniher dragged him (back when being benched actually meant something).

Ben Beams broke his arm at the start of the 3rd quarter, the Wiz went back on and proceeded to rip Collingwood apart. 9 goals in a half, don't see that too often and his shot for his 10th only just went wide.

One of the greatest days I've had at the footy, my Pies supporting mate on the day not so much....

Hi all! 

In celebration of the upcoming Doug Nicholls Indigenous Round,  I've put together a clip highlighting one of the greatest Demon performances of all time: Jeff Farmer's nine second half goals against the Pies!

Was anyone at the MCG that day?

Yes, was there. For years I could not believe what he had done, starting in the third quarter. Farmer was hailed as the 'Wizard' by Gary Lyon and how correct was that description? We saw it in so many things he had done in the game. Running to position, taking the speccy, providing a target - it was all there that day. This video should be shown to the current talent at the Club, it demonstrates that if you have the desire, anything can be done. Farmer made it look easy that day - and in reality, most of it was - a thinking footballer who optimised the rest of the team. The Filth were filthy once shat upon.

He was on fire during the 2000 Preliminary Final too.

 

8 goals in a  Prelim.  Thats rare air.  What a player he was.  

Too bad he went to Freo.

Forget how good they were back then, team of guns and gun team. Yze's kick to Jeffrey, just pin point. White domination. Crazy.

 

Stephen Powell was great too with 4 goals in that game.

How good is Ox's 1% shepherd/bump for his 8th... It's team football that gets you to 140's with regular aplomb.

Didn't the Wizard back up the next week with a bag of 7 against Hawthorn as we totally rained on the parade for Salmon's 300th? Amazing player, on his day was unstoppable.

Fixed this for you. He was kicking them from everywhere in 2000, I remember games at Docklands against WCE and Freo where he kicked 7 or 8 each including one off the ground from about 35-40 out near the boundary.

His first half was absolutely diabolical too, he only got back in the third quarter because Ben Beams broke his wrist or arm. Then probably the wildest 30 odd minutes of individual football I've ever seen. The only regret was that he had an easy shot for a 10th and missed

Absolutely brilliant. 

I too was Punt rd behind the goals. Won’t forget the excitement and anticipation as soon as he started a lead after about his 5th. 

I wonder what sort of car he denied Robbo.

I can still see in my mind that off the ground from 35 out. He made it look so easy but I remember thinking had he missed that he probably would have been dragged!

It all went his way that year..

I was playing footy that day, remember hearing the result and seeing the highlights in the club rooms, it’s a day/moment I’ll never forget. I still don’t think Farmer gets the credit league wide that he deserves, freak of a player.

    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.

    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
