  • 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.

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).

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

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
