    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 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.

Carlton, Melbourne, Richmond and Essendon took part in a scratch match this afternoon … at the same time.

The game saw a squad of 16 Carlton players taking on various amalgamations of the other three Victorian teams.

The Demons and Tigers are undermanned given they have players either in quarantine, injured or back in Victoria, while the Bombers have a lengthy injury list themselves. 

Richmond, Melbourne and Essendon rotated their available players through the scrimmage, with some swapping teams to play for Carlton at times in the last quarter to accommodate for players on limited minutes.

The Demonic Bombing Tigers got the win over the Blues, but scratch matches are to be taken with many grains of salt - especially this one.

Tom McDonald (Melbourne), Mitch Brown (Melbourne), Tom Cutler (Essendon), Sydney Stack (Richmond), Oleg Markov (Richmond) and Charlie Spargo (Melbourne) were among the players on the opposition team.

Interesting. Bit of a dog's breakfast to me. At least they get a run

I feel sick, Melb and Ess players?! I hope Spargo was able to lead all of the Dons players away to an unsanctioned, quarantine breaking party. Best he’ll do for us this year.

Good old spargo. Favourite player

I don’t think it’s said at all.  This is absolutely brilliant that teams are coming together for the greater good. 

Of course its good that teams are coming together. We all expected that.

But we're long way off until we seen the rich tradition of having Saturday or Sunday Casey reserves playing. I miss tuning in to see how our VFL side was going during game day.

Going by the report and solitary pic on the Blues’ website we provided the jumpers and Richmond the socks. 

Like the improvising but not the fact they labelled the team Rich-bourne Bombers.

scores?

Only Carlton provided details and they didn't include a score just that the amalgamated team won.

from the article: "The other three teams (Melbourne, Richmond & Essendon) are yet to provide details on their side of the outing."

Further to that the Carlton Website articles list that Carlton's reserves kicked 6 goals so TMac could have kicked 7.

I hope Owies has a long and successful career, but also with lots of one-week injuries just so we can see the team sheet "Out:  Owies (injured)".  I'm sure one day he will make a great forward line alongside Booboo, Ouchi and Prang.

    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,
