  • 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.

This kickouts to Gawn, so stupid and one of the reasons we suck. Yes he might mark it. But who wants their Ruckman with the ball 55m out from your defensive goal, it's so predictable the next kick will go down the line. Finally changed it up before the siren and we look dangerous.

Yep there needs to be some variety, we actually slow things down to allow him to get into position. By that stage Port are set up to block and spoil him. 

I don't mind it being a plan A but have some other tricks up your sleeve, we are one of the few clubs that gets no return for the other team missing opportunities.

Where's Weideman? The only time I saw him was on the bench in the first quarter. Can someone tell me if he's injured.

We are getting nothing from the umps, our players getting clearly held onto but it gets completely ignored, they get a shot on goal from it.

First quarter 7 frees to 4, + multiple 50 metre penalties throw in, Second quarter the screw turns Port's way...

MFC like a drunken sailor all over the shop.

This is worse than the 80's

We have too many passengers. Hannan has done nothing except give away a needless 50m and subsequent goal. Salem plays too timidly, So many players who have gone AWOL. Harmes is a liability. They are mentally fragile. Might as well trade Gawn, because we don't benefit from his hit outs. Our midfielders can't use the ball. Only one who i have confidence in is Petracca. We really are becoming the laughing stock of the AFL. No success since 64.  That's 56 years. If we can't win at least play attractive football and try to encourage new supporters who don't mind that they may never experience a premiership in their lifetime, but still enjoy the footy. Bring back Mark Jackson & Allen Jakovick stc....

We are being destroyed through better coaching again.  Port get it to the outside and go fast.  We get sucked to the inside and watch as the ball flies away.  Second to contests, lazy tackles, no vision, not running for each other.  As 2019 as any game this year.

Didn't want Lyon for a coach,but would certainly take him now. Someones got to teach these players how to play.

Clarkson is probably also gettable. Any of those 2 would be a hell of a lot better than what we have got.

did Goodwin just say we need to come up with a strategy?

Would be a good start. I would love a coaching group with a strategy other than kick long to Gawn then bomb longer inside 50 to nobody

One handed efforts. Behind his opponent. As timid as a young calf for the slaughter.

    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,

    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
