  • 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.

Hey guys I was just wondering how many of you will be turning up to this game? I know alot of you have the "I Don't care about the pre season" attitude, but it's a great chance to see those players who have been out injured, back in action and of course our new recruits. I for one will be going, should be good. :)

Would love to go, but there is a little issue called 'work' getting in my way <_< :(

Whether you care about the results or not, it is still a good opportunity to go watch the team play, be it badly and without care, but they're still wearing red & blue!

Might even do a player by player summary after the match.

That would be great, for those of us living in Sydney, Brisbane, etc, who cant make it down to MC Labour Park on Saturday

Looking forward to it

Yeah, I'll be there, hopefully it's a cool, but sunny day, few beers on the terrace.

More likely it'll be low 30's and sunny, you'll have to work a bit harder on the beers.

I think Bring back powell is planning to do one

Thats cool if dees-rule-4-eva does one as well.

It will be good for people not going to the game to get more than one perspective.

My report will be focussing more on a player by player summary and a score out of 10.

Hope to get it released by 6:00pm Saturday night.

No prob, mine won't be too in depth. People who have read my match reports before will know I just give an outline of the game and best players.

Let me do a bit of crystal balling and guess what some peoples match reviews will say:

"Yze hardly got a kick, looked disinterested and soft, should be dropped for Round 1"

"Brad Miller, WTF?"

"Godders was Godders"

"Nathan Jones carved them up, but only for a half"

"Chris Johnson looked comfortable at this level"

"Mark Jamar hardly touched the ball around the ground, and Paul Johnson was hopeless in the hitouts"

Seems like I hardly need to go therefore, but probably will anyway.

PS. By the way, dont get me wrong I really appreciate the match reports people do, hopefully no offence is taken

Just wondering = is it going to be humid?

Hope it is not for u guys because it will be an absolute stinker if it is, even if it is in the low 30s :blink:

The reason i am saying this is because where i live in sydney it has been pretty humid in the last week :mellow:

No offence taken mate. And you are probably spot on with the comments I'll make. I'd like to add to that list ... writing some glowing reports about Bruce, Green & Pickett would make my day.

    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. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

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
