  • 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.

I don't think it helps much having a Midfield Specialist Coach whose background is ugly, lock-down, one-on-one, accountable footy.

Obviously you didn't see Paul Williams play.

Calm down guys - it's a practice match - the scores are irrelevant.

I'm just interested in the progress of the younger players and guys like Moloney who haven't played in a while.

You're not worried about what this is going to do to our percentage Scoop?

hard to take when 10 years ago we played this handball crazy game and got flogged every week and took us really till 2 years ago to get rid of it

besides you do things in games and tight situations that you train and handballing out of those situations are usually the worst option

id also love to watch the young kids playing too and knowing how well they are playing, id just rather it with a direct, straight down the corrider style of football

Reminds me of the first time I found this site in March(or Feb) 2002 when we eventually had a great year.

We had been beaten by St Kilda in a pre season game and the site was on fire.

Some people never learn.

Something is in the air. We are gettng great practice at hand ball.

We don't know what's going on. And why should we? We know nothing anyway.

Who cares?

If they had kicked today rather than practice their handball it would lead to a Premiership? Demand feeding definitely has a down side.

Goal to Mattner - the 7th unanswered goal. Down by 36 now, correction 35 - Brad Miller just missed from dead in front.

did you have to?

I don't want another Brad Miller thread.

There are people who won't leave him alone.

We have them rattled now with Aaron Davey and Cameron Bruce goalling (from 60 metres).

Melbourne 5.4.34

Adelaide 9.15.69

Meanwhile the whacker on 5aa keeps on saying:-

"5aa does not hold the rights to stream its football commentaries on the internet…

If you want to listen to a football commentary on line you should go to afl.com.au… [don't waste your time]

5aa will resume internet streaming at the conclusion of its internet commentary….

Thank you for listening."

Trouble is that he doesn't sound like such a whacker now!

For God Sake - someone hand out the nerve pills - have a look at the side we sent over. What did you all expect??? Yee of little faith!

The whole match can be taken with a "care factor - NIL" attitude - what does it matter???? This is just a chance for our youngsters to get a feel for the game - if we were serious, we wouldn't have left the big boys at home.

What do you all want - a massive win in a game that counts for nothing? Then you would all be on here moaning about the injuries to our senior players.

I would sooner cop a flogging and keep the boys that count for the matches that count!

we were never going to kick a winning score without neitz and robbo, and anyone who thinks so is completely deluded.

the score as scoop amongst others so rightly pointed out is irrelevant. to get match fitness into the 12 or so guys who will line up in round 1 is by far the most important aspect. little else matters. we wont have more handballs than kicks in round 1, the match commitee aren't that stupid.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
