    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.

What a half of footy by Steven May...absolutely elite defender. He is giving Naughton a lesson

The first couple of wins from our run were against quite clearly the two worst teams in the AFL right now, and we comfortably beat a depleted Pies outfit who were also off a shorter break. I’m not say

Jeez strange times!!! Just reflecting. In a normal season, I'd be settling into a pot at The Duke about now. Thinking about maybe a quick snack and trying to coerce @Moonshadow into buying a roun

Win this and we are ready to launch. I want to believe. 

Looking at the AFL season stats this week interesting to see we are ranked 14th in clearances and 18th in tackles (averages). I thought these areas were our one wood? Maybe our game style has evolved for the better!

We will know early if our improved use of the ball by hand and foot stands up against a quality side. If we revert back to pinball style it will be all over. Hold your nerve boys.

Agree

I'm hopeful, but worried that a sharp Bulldogs midfield will have us revert to sloppy forward movement

Super excited for this one, heading in with the family and some friends I am converting to dees. 

Hopefully it's a cracking game which I am expecting it to be. 

Looking forward to watching the off the ball work rate of Langdon live today.

If you can get close enough, please direct some feedback to umpire 31 on my behalf.  He's listed as the Emergency

Nervous about this one - still expecting the old Melbourne, resting on their laurels, turning up tripe and getting pantsed.

 

Edited to add: It’s easy to get up for the ‘big’ games, but it’s taking care of the Doggies and the Saints which will ultimately make the difference.

This is a 'litmus test' game for the Dees, but we have been building, and I'm confident this will continue.  Our fitness will see us home by 3 or 4 goals, in what should be a 'cracker' of a game.

 Trac, Oliver, Brayshaw, Viney and Langdon will be too much for the Dogs to handle in the midfield.

Weideman to kick 5, Kozzie, Spargo, Melk 2 each.

Preuss to smash into weak skinny English all day and have him limping by the end of the 3rd quarter.

Melbourne by 44

Don't underestimate their midfield power. They've been inconsistent this year, but when on song it's right uo their with the best.

Lachie Hunter and Caleb Daniel are red alerts for me. Their run and dash will hurt us if we do not put in the time into them.

Danger game. So [censored] nervous..

Gold Coast area

Mostly sunny. Areas of dust haze during the morning and afternoon. Winds northwesterly 15 to 20 km/h turning westerly 25 to 30 km/h in the morning then increasing to 30 to 45 km/h in the middle of the day.

45km/h is a '2 club wind'.

Two pretty evenly matched teams on paper.  Two gun midfields going at it.  Looking forward to it.   Hopefully we see the vs Richmond Dogs against the vs Collingwood Demons.

It's just going to come down to us finishing our work in the forward line. Do that and we win. 

Totally agree. Would be good to see Fritsch straighten up this week.

Going to be tough kicking conditions

I dont know what to feel about todays game. I have tipped us the last 3 weeks, but dont feel so confident today.

A few others have mentioned the Doggies leg speed and i think thats likely to be a fair factor in who wins. Dogs and Saints were my 2 biggest worries as far as being cut up speed wise, so today tells me more about us than last week i reckon.

If we can win, finals are a lock IMO, but i think the Dogs might get over us by a few goals.

Still, GO DEES !!!

The 'conversion' should be complete by the end of the day GCS.

we beat collingwood when our ruck and midfield were not exactly on fire. Pruess should be the better ruckman today given the doggies stats, and our midfield is unlikely to be having two bad weeks.  I assume the dogs midfield strategy acknowledges they will lose the ruck so have their players ready to pounce on the opposition players when they take the ball to shake it lose.  If we can continue our good form and Tom Mac can add some additional firepower up front then we will win this one.  I just hope they learnt their lesson from last week it is not the number of inside 50's that count its the quality of the delivery and finishing off.

    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,
