  • 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 understand but i think it’s ridiculous. 

The players aren’t even allowed to take their kids to the park. 

It’s not ridiculous: it is sensible and necessary. What do you want the whole competition closed down again? Because that is what you will get if we have another outbreak.

 

We are not dealing with the flu or a cold here: we are dealing with an incredibly infectious deadly epidemic for which there is no cure and currently no vaccine. We are all vulnerable, and l for one am immensely grateful that our state and federal governments are following the science and the medical advice and taking the cautious approach. Obviously we have some Trump disciples in our supporter base. Fortunately sanity prevails....

Well NRL fans should have one more game of kissing and hugging that they do before all their tests come up positive and that will be the finish of their season.

At least our blokes aren't the vice captain of their Club and they also have friends to visit.

Can a rugby player contract the virus by urinating in their own mouth?

This game was already hard to call with 3 young kids selected to play and Harley and Joel Smith not having played for a long time. This stupidity has just made it so much harder.

Gotta hand it to Spargo.

Puts in a round 1 performance at a level not seen since Isaac Weetra circa 2008.

Then coerced our premier albeit young small forward into attending a house party via an Uber during pandemic -  hence robbing us a key piece of the puzzle in somehow jagging our first win in 11 months.

I don’t think we’ll be seeing young Charles for a number of weeks.

YEP Average player at best.

Weeks? You won't see him again for the MFC.

They are paid a huge salary that we contribute to so follow the simple f k n rules that have been put in place for you to continue to work.

The worst part is when we lose, by a goal when ANB misses a set shot after the siren everyone will blame Kossi. 

No only a small majority of miserable whiners on this board, who actually call themselves supporters, could possibly contemplate doing that

Gee the infallibility quotient on this board is amazing

Not one person [censored] up in their late teens early twenties

Don't watch the game, another problem solved

Me, disappointed in both players, they have worn the consequences, new soldier into the team to play a team game

But has the engine to make contests, that keeps us in the game

Many people throwing barbs when I dare say most would have been the first to whinge about being in isolation

Throwing barbs? Here are the rules for you to get paid and play the game... don’t mess up... 3 weeks later let’s get in an Uber and go to a party.... pppffttt 

Young people will be young people, still not an excuse.

The biggest losers from this are us, the supporters and tv viewers.   A shame as not much has been great these past few months at home...

Chin up. The game will still be on and I hope you can find a lot of enjoyment from Jackson, Bennell, Rivers, Jones on the HFF and King Nev. Good luck on the home front. Everything will keep improving.

Nibbler seemingly could not get a 'grip' last season. But has shown some positive signs earlier in the pre-season. Statistically not the worst performer in round 1 against the Eagles in Perth. In fact recall him kicking a smart snap goal from a crowded pack. At his best a solid team contributor at the coalface.

    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
