  • 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.


NON MFC: Round 03

How the hell did Lynch miss that goal in the final term. He was literally right in front. As JB said it was harder to miss. 

I really admire Clarko. He shows that you don't need to be a superstar player in the day to be a great coach. He sat back and watched his club cop it all week, being called Dads Army and McEvoy shouldn't be down back while plotting on how to bring down richmond. 

Also loved his last remark in the presser last night when asked about dads army and said that why we pulled out poppy so we wouldn't reach that oldest list. It was so tongue in cheek with a smile and Tom Browne wasn't sure how to respond.

Whorethorn understand hard work, it doesn’t matter so much who is in the side. 
The MFC touch on hard work sporadically, but then say “We have done it” and let go

At Whorethorn it is a requirement every year. 
 

Remember last year they went to Canberra and played in the snow....and won the game. Games like that i dream of the MFC winning....

One thing I have always envied about hawthorn is the way they man the mark with purpose, regularly going way over the mark and always get away with it. I’d like us to push the boundaries a bit more in that area.

One time against Brissy they huddled in the shade at last break. 
Lions got up. 
Godzilla  after that win (with AFL help)

I remember that!  Would you believe that was as far back as 1995 and Brisbane were still The Bears.

Clarko was still at North Melbourne (came to us the following year) so I doubt it would be memorable to him.

It would be Whorethorn folklore, Clarko would know it happened

They always learn from any mistakes

Haha ? no mate. Snow is definitely not my thing. I prefer heat. 
Swimming by the pool with a G&T is far more me

have been known to slip down for a moonlight dip

Singapore is allowing two people per pool so there is hope. Local population aren't great swimmers so unfortunately not a priority ?

True-  it's not the 1m further away from the player's target that matters much of the time, but the 1m less the player has to work in.  But I'd prefer the umpires to enforce the rules even-handedly and not let anyone get away with breaking them.

Exactly. Agree 100%

Can someone please explain to me why Frost was a mistake riddled disaster at times for the MFC, but as soon as he puts on an HFC jumper he turns into a slick, skilful and reliable defender?

I thought in the scheme of things he was a good defender. Sure he made a few clangers but i always thought he gave his all and when on song it was a catchy tune. Wouldnt mind having him back to be honest.

    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

    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
