  • 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.

Two weeks ago the Crows beat the Cats who  we could not beat with Clarry in the side.

How on earth will we beat the Crows on their home patch with or without Clarry?

4 weeks ago, Bulldogs beat Geelong by 2 points.

2 weeks ago, Melbourne beat Bulldogs by 50 points.

1 week ago, Geelong beat Melbourne by 2 points.

Old Dee, your argument is so illogical.

We're not dropping OMac or Hogan. Appreciate the frustration, and both need to be significantly better, but we're not dropping them, we all know it.

This season more than others, it is noticeable that certain teams just match up well against others. There are 14 teams that on their day can beat each other irrespective of ladder position.

We're not a genuine contender.

But we are a genuine contender to get into the finals series. Just not do very much when there.

But that's fine...  as we are onward upward.   And we are growing older and maturing, getting stronger, getting better.

It's all part of the deal.

I differ somewhat.  I don't think we'll make it, but I think if we do we can do some damage.  I think our mental hurdle is our absence from finals, not the premiership drought.  Make finals and I think we'll play with more freedom and be more dangerous.  Not saying by any means that making the finals should be a measure of success, that should always come down to premierships.  I don't think many sides would want to face us if we made it to the finals.  But, alas, I don't think we will this year ?

That said there has been questions asked if they Olympic park (where they do train) surface is a contributing factor in their soft tissue injuries.  Which would be weird given it was purpose built for pies to train on

OK, thought they trained on opposite ovals beside each other, managed by same curator? Never been there

I think we can do some damage in the finals series, but I don't think we are ready to go all the way.

We're a bit immature, a little bit short of what it takes IMO.

We need to try to recruit a couple in the 26 yrs to 28yrs bracket.

I reckon most of the emergencies should travel this week.

Vanders for Harmes, just in case he doesn’t come up

Weideman for Hogan, just in case Hoges doesn’t get over his man flu

Wags for JKH, on the off chance the match committee realise they’ve made a mistake

Peds because he’s a worthy inclusion

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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
