  • 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 Freo....

Negatives after a win??

No i wouldn’t think that at all

You are a very sick man

Winners make finals and the the MCG is full of expectation ..

For someone who hates it when others judge his thoughts, replies and what he thinks, it seems hypocritical of you to call me a 'very sick man'. 

Takes one to know one I guess.

Cannot see us losing to freo ... its the next few weeks that concern me.      Hope am I am wrong but will not make finals.   Playing dogs after playing in darwin   na !!      Adelaide in adelaide   no !   Geelong at geelong  (happens once every 15 years)   West coast in perth ..  No  !!        blew it last week  and first round.   Hope I am wrong,

 

Side note won $65 last week.  had 10 on saints.    Having watched by beloved team for decades I knew $6.50 odds for saints was  ridiculous.  Hope I was not going to collect..  but I did.

People can think whatever they want on here, but for you to say i will find negatives after a win is just petty rubbish. 

I hate losing & i hate slack performances, of which we see too many

but i will never tire of wins

It’s not even an imagineable outcome for me, but I thought that last week too. 

Yes you were indeed.

Planning on keeping your powder dry in the game day thread this week, Nash?

Even if we'd beaten St Kilda and say Geelong, I still think we'd struggle to make the 8, the last 5-6 weeks is just a brutal run of games, coupled with teams around us having much easier draws...

Dees by 20 goals. Freo won't score, Petty to take 22 intercept marks, Trac to have 47 disposals, Hogan to kick 11 goals. 

I hope you did not hurt anything when you fell out of bed Wiseblood?

Which only highlights what a shocking decision playing fixtures in Darwin is. 

What is more important to the club, a suitcase of $$$’s or playing finals in September??

Only my head. On reflection I should have made it 30 goals. 

Oh thank God I thought something may have happened to the most positive person on Demonland . Where I go for positive reinforcement?

I'm not sure the decision is 'fully' ours, i think we are partially beholden to the AFL to continue this arrangement in some form, perhaps due to previous 'support' we received.

Might as well pack up the club if the AFL are forcing our hand and retarding our fixture. 

Clubs who plays us 2-3 weeks after Darwin get a massive free kick

We won the following week after playing in Darwin last year

We lost the following two games badly though. We were then shagged out and lethargic for the remainder of the season .

True, still I think if the arrangment is going to continue we should play the Darwin game instead of the Alice Springs game before the bye.

If we lose to Freo it’s season over.

And then I want to know what the implications are of missing the finals 2 years in a row, especially after being 8-3 this year.

Head coach sacked?

New president?

At the very least they can punt that assistant coach that wore his Richmond scarf to every final last year, and was seen actively supporting a rival club.

 

I'm curious who was he?

Not really. We lost to North by 4 points in rubbish conditions, then to a hot GWS, then belted StKilda for all but a lapse in the 3rd quarter. Sports science has come along way in the last few years. If we lose to Dogs next week it won’t have anything to do with the conditions on Saturday night

    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

    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.

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
