  • 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.

ANB 20 disposals, 9 tackles,

Not bad for a defensive forward.  

Spot on, I thought he was great. He's been very good these last few weeks. Very handy!

Having been in Geelong these past two days I’ve had the benefit of exposure to the Geelong Advertiser and its reporting of community affairs.

 

The one particular story (among many worthy entrants) that caught my eye was about the local lad who required the paper to publish a formal correction after he was caught unlicensed and doing wheelies with an unfortunate rabbit tied to his rear bumper.

Anyways, the Advertiser reported (incorrectly) that he had been arrested on the spot and charged and he required a retraction -  namely that he had merely been charged and not arrested  (facts not in dispute) 

Advertiser’s mistake publicly acknowledged.

 

Anyways, I recommend this journal as an indicator of where the current state of society sits - it never ever disappoints.

But back to the matter in hand -  with its back page lead of how Gazza was gunna show them and with so many fulsome articles on how Melbourne would be overawed what with their almost total lack of finals experience and with the astonishing talent of Dangerfield, Tommy Boy, Selwood etc it would appear that the possibility of Melbourne winning the game was almost unthinkable.

What a thrill to see that pressure and energy from a great group playing for each other and the team -  beats the individualists 

and having watched Nathan Jones through the dark years as our only quality player at times, it’s been a joy to see his faithful service to our club return a dividend in his second final appearance.

 Thanks so much Nate

Selwood penalized was karma for dangerfields ruck trick last time.

Wow what a game and atmosphere. The members was rocking tonight. It was nice to sit around all Melbourne supporters. I hared Jones say it felt like an interstate crowd except they were all cheering for us. 

Juts loved the 1st quarter. It was great. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we would kick the 1st 5 and hold them goalless.

Loved Weidermans game. Brilliant marking and a handy 3 goals. 

Jetta was fantastic. He gets knocked, pulled, pushed but still gets up and gives everything. 

Jones, so happy for him that he kicked the 1st goal of that final term. 

Loved harmse's game. Enjoyed Frost down back as well, even Oscar took some nice marks. 

Just happy happy happy. Max Gawn is just the best. We are so lucky to have him.

Alex Neal Bullens tackling and pressure in the first 10 minutes was as good as it gets.  

Then we tagged Viney in and Geelong had no respite.

We bullied them into submission.  They were scared.

Yeah! The pressure was amazing. They had nowhere to go.

I'll sleep like a king tonight.

Spargo and Tyson, only ones down on form tonight. Otherwise an even contribution 

I reckon AVB had many moments he’d like back too. Did a heap right though. 

 

Spargo will continue to concern me this year if he holds his spot.

Like Spargo game against GWS, but he was poor tonight. His kicking penetrating worries me. Maybe Jeff or JKH in

    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

    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
