  • 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.

Goodwin can go get [censored]. I’m sick of his stubborness. Put McDonald down back and we win. 

I am disgusted that we lost this game. Honestly I’m so tired of being disappointed with this club. 

McDonald kicked 4 Ffs

Gutted but we played a good hard game. Hawkins was possessed and the difference. 

No. I'm sick of this apologetic [censored]. If you lose the game, you didn't play a good game. We've lost 4 games under ten points. This is a consistent flaw and they don't deserve any credit.

5 goals up and we lose.

They kick out from full back and go end to end without a Dees player touching it. With only seconds to go.

My son asked me what's the score. I replied "under 5 minutes we are 2 points up - but we rarely win close games. Watch the Cats get easy possession and kick a goal".

I feel absolute shite right now.

8.0 to 3.5 in the last.

Another important game dropped. What's that, like, 6 now for Goodwin? In 2 years? Has to be under pressure now. Staring down under year out of the 8. Talent across the board and losing games like that against old men.

I [censored] hate Geelong. I [censored] hate this sport. I am over it.

To go down to Geelong and lose by less than a goal - can't fault the effort.

Suspect that JKH has played his last game in a Melbourne jumper, and we really, really missed Viney, felt like we were one mid down all game.

Not only that, why listen the the idiot fitness guys and rotate him on the bench for so long in the  the last quarter while the cats took over in the middle and got momentum back in their favor.  Just go with what feels right FFS!  Those extra few minutes he could have come on earlier may have cost us the match....along with a couple of cheating umpiring decisions that swung the game back the other way when the Cats where down.

The 50 meters against Harmes when he was clearly leaving the area (Nichols) and the free kick to Ablett when it should have been holding the ball against him in the last quarter which IMO completely changed the face of the game in the Cat's favour gifting them a crucial goal.

It was ours to lose and we did. 

8 premiership points gone in the race to the finals. Top 4 spot now forfeited. 

Heart breaking stuff. 

Goody way too slow to move our boy off the man Hawkins. An embarrassing match up that in the first 15 minutes of the last, turned the game.

Take McDonald out and he doesn't kick those 2 goals in the last quarter.

I get your point though and I don't want to start a discussion on it.  Too shattered for that.

I’m not gonna talk about it either. 

I am too angry. Frost was a better option that our dumb coach tried far too late. 

How long can we keep being losers?

This club is exactly what everybody outside the majority of this forum thinks it is. Soft and gettable.

Our defence is a disgrace. We are on the verge of wasting one of the most dominant midfields going around. How many games can you lose with 60+ inside 50's?

We really missed Lever and Hibberd down back tonight as well.

I agree, though - our effort was immense, and I thought we have halted the momentum when they got on a roll when Tom put us 8 points up.  But we couldn't kill it.

    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

    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
