  • 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.

Chris, you're coaching an AFL match. Enough with the cringeworthy theatrics every time something doesn't go your way.

Geelong gifted a goal there. Blatantly touched by multiple players, should not have been paid a mark. 

And two Hawkins hands in the back before he took the “mark”.

A year ago this week we put the hawks out of the finals. How good a night that was. 

Anyway that was a shocking kick for goal by Danger then, for a champion player who has been around long enough. Should have done better. 

No. Should have done the team thing and not just pinged away.

And last year we knocked the cats out a week earlier.
And now we're still watching them and we got nowhere near it.
Does my head in.

Should be but I will anticipate a fine as the victim still breathes. 

Christian will say accidental, low impact, in play even though it was intentional, high and off the play.

And since eye gouging has the go ahead, striking by a key ? in a final will be permitted. 

That was selfish. Should have gone for the top of the square. 

You should apply for a seat on the MRP Mono!

Ugh now either richmond or the cats will be in the big one. West coast I was relying on you to knock the cats out. 

If it's a collingwood v geelong/richmond grand final then I may leave the state. 

So now Im relying on a brisbane or GWS to somehow win. I hope it's brisbane but I can't see them able to beat collingwood next week. 

This is all hawthorns fault. They stuffed everything up when they beat west coast and west coast didn't get the top 4 and gifted collingwood a double chance. Yes I know west coast should have beaten them but ugh now I have to pin my hopes on brisbane or even the giants. 

What a pathetic last quarter by the eagles. No goals, not 1 and they were meant to be stronger this year with Nic Nat, gaff and Shepard in there who ddin't play in last years gf.

LOL.  We are eternal optimists at the Demons.  Next year I will be in Africa for a month or two but timing it to be back for the finals.  And will be renewing 2 Redlegs memberships. 

Maybe, I should say Demon Addicts rather than Demon Optimists!!:blink:

Incidental contact, low impact, look away.

Amazed how danger does little for 3qtr but lifts in the last.  Why doesn't he do it earlier?

He’s either unfit or lazy or both. A couple of times when the opposition marked the ball or were paid a free near him and a team mate was on the mark he’d take their position on the mark making them run backwards.

Well it’s mayhem here in Perth. 

Supporters have pulled out the ‘Kerr, Cousins, Fletcher, Mainwaring, Gardiner, Rioli’ code of conduct booklet and are rioting in the street with glass bbq’s in hand. 

I’m staying indoors today.

Are they asking how come they could not kick a goal in that final quarter and just fell apart?

Was are people so impressed with Selwood just because he bleeds on the softest of contacts. He had a good game but only 5 contested possessions. He was smashed last year by the demons in finals and gave away undisciplined free kick which lost them the game. But that gets no attention.

Will feel very dirty next Friday night. As much as I can’t stand Geelong I will be cheering them on against the Tigers. Hoping they somehow get over the line. Uncle and Aunty Richmond along with the cousins have become unbearable since their flag. Will not attend another family gathering if Richmond win the flag again. Yuk!!!

    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,

    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
