  • 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.

Lol, best part of the game was the camera work on Townsend’s shot. Just showing the ball in flight and teasing Ess fans with the accurate kick thinking it was through. Touched an inch out, great theatre.

I checked the scores and found the Blues hanging iron with moments to go, so I turned it on. Watch very little footy this season, but seeing the Bummers stuff up on the death knell despite a pretty strange 50 gave me a rare moment of footy joy.

Blues have I believed had a 1 point loss and two 1 point wins in three rounds .  Heart stopping for their fans.

Hope carlton can hang on.       Sick of hearing essendon supporters saying we are undefeated. Just lose. 

Im watching GC V freo. Good game but fyfe off with t hammy is a massive loss. 

I turned it on,  to see the ending of the game,  and then quickly changed channel so I didn't have to hear the song.

 

GC... how are the young ones going,   'd189227' .?

That Eddie Betts 50 metre was a joke

Umpire said it was a “new rule”!!!

That was nuts. 50m from the goal square and they put the man on the mark in the centre circle.

Talk about trying to gift them the game.

I'm watching with the sound off. I know it's been said to death but Brayshaw, BT and McAveney are all awful in their own unbearable way. 

I watched NRL on friday night just to ear te commentary because its not overstated, smug, nor too smart for itself.  They just enjoy the game and one another;  like we Used to,  be back in the 70's/80's.

How did our commentary get so high brow,  and  "look at me,  look at me"

 

Come on C-7,  ditch these smart Al ex footballers,  and bring in  "Con the Fruiterer".   So we can enjoy the footy once again.   The commentators have never been good,  ever since we have so many Ex Pro players.  and the non ex footy players try hard to be clever to match them.

 

They are all spoiling the game for us as a spectacle.  When the commentators are the spectacle the game is saying, "I can't breath".

 

...  this is another thing in our lives that needs rescuing from big brother,  and big business..

I see some vitamin ad with Dennis Cometti on it every now and then and it makes me yearn for better times when commentators weren't ssuch twats

Ha it was sweet to see them lose by a point.

Gee it's so frustrating when you watch melbourne gets all these high draft picks who don't really come along as they should and gc get rowell and watching him tonight he is just awesome and got the game. He kicks goals, is courageous goes in hard and has great disposal. Just give him the rising star now.

If Gold Coast had never existed, Rowell would be in Red and Blue right about now.....

    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,
