  • 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.

We made and won finals without him. He isn’t the reason we can’t win a game. 

Agree, we would not suddenly kick it well into the f50 cos Hogan was there, we would butcher it to him instead of another player.

Lets go draft some more hard no skill players.

Lewis finished, enough of the one handed tackles and turnovers. 

Garlett shat himself 3 times going for a mark. Magnificent.

Petracca is the worst kick for goal in AFL history and is just a player who destroys the efforts of his team mates.

Keilty, sorry Drunk’n, but he is having a shocker. Not sure why Preuss wasn’t played. Preuss had 49 hit outs and 2 goals for Casey today. 

World record entries in F50 for least return. 

They  are the most poorly skilled side in the AFL and plenty of us have said it for a few years now and to me nothing has been done about it.

Even if we fluke a win today what I said stands. 

It is actually embarrassing watching us play. How can you as an AFL player not be able to kick, mark and handball.  It defies logic.

Put Keilty on the bench and leave him there, I don’t know how he was able to get a second game but he is honestly the single worst footballer to wear our jumper I have ever seen. 

Lewis is pretty horrible defensively. 

Our forwards keep running under the football 

Grow up, decrepit old man

I 'm in Edinburgh now. It's only 9.00 am but I'm going to have a 'wee Doc and Doris ' and a good lie down. Can't say I'm missing the footy. It sounds pretty bad by all accounts.

Really, though? We are dominating everywhere but the score, and actually defending well. 

Agree - I actually think we're playing much better, and starting to see the Melbourne of last year.

Up until we go I50 that is.

Tom Mac really down on form/confidence isn't helping - and it isn't helping the players up the field either, because they're not automatically looking for him, thus hesitation, thus the kind of all-over-the-place entries we're seeing.

Yet another goalless quarter. 

Are there stats re dominating inside 50 without scoring goals? We must surely be near some sort of record.

Are you sure you are not an alias for Titus?

No matter what, Goodwin refuses to play man on man. We must always leave a player loose in our back half, which makes our forwardline constantly outnumbered and playing 2 on 1.

When will we learn that without proper numbers up forward we can’t influence the scoreboard, no matter how many times we bomb it in there? 

We cannot hit a target sure, but TMac is always playing on two defenders. And Garlett gets the ball kicked over his head and there are two loose GC players. We have no chance because we are conceding a forward. 

First point. That's why we aren't getting smashed at the moment. 

Second Point. It's the bombing in that's the problem.

Third Point. If we have a man back and TMac is has two players playing on him..... we have a one on one if we don't do dumb crap. Garlett can't have two players loose if TMac has two defenders playing on him.

3 goals in a half of football against Gold Coast.

3 [censored] goals

Can't wait to count how many "connections" references our middle manager coach will make at his concession speech. The one thing we can count on is that it will outnumber the goals we kick.

We are playing well all over the ground but as soon as we see that 50 meter line we become idiots.

The balance (inside and out) from last week has gone.  Viney, so far, has not added to the team and is flat footed around the contest.

Again we are back to too many pure coal face players at the contest with no ability to break away and release to the likes of Stretch (is he there?),  Salem and Fritshkreig (out best ball users).

Yep and IDAK stood for

    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

    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

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
