  • 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.

Enjoy mate! I am very jealous.  
What will the conditions be like? 

As if all us southerners aren't aren't suffering enough D11.

No work, no footy, no finals here, the GF stolen from our magnificent G, no men's bars (wait, is that an essential service!?) and here you are bringing up the 'perfect one day' factor.

May the fleas from Gawny's sacred beard infest your armpits!

Wasn't aware of this. Is it available on replays? 

Its not an option. I wish it was. I hope it will be

I've asked demonland to use his social media clout to start a viral, online campaign to convince kayo to include it as a replay option. Crickets so far, so i thought i'd try out a hash tag. Too long?

The game is now sold out. Max pax is 13,500 but there is no way they have got that at a 4.40pm Thursday game. I’ve found a figure of 25% of capacity so maybe around 3,500?

I will approach all four of our final four games the same way: with extreme nerves.

Our form against the weaker sides this year has been solid (comfortable wins over Adelaide, North, Hawthorn and Gold Coast). But with the significance of each of these final games comes pressure, and we all know we've struggled with expectation before.

We should have Sydney covered. They have been distinctly mediocre all year. Their win over GWS was exciting but IMO an outlier. Their only other wins have been vs Adelaide, North and Hawthorn (and each of those was by less than two goals). Since beating North in Round 3, all their losses have been by at least 26 points except two: Richmond (a well-publicised defensive slog) and Collingwood (Collingwood's inaccuracy kept the Swans in it but Collingwood dominated most stats). And they're missing a handful of key players.

And this maybe why I smell a huge dump of complacency looming overhead - hopefully just a cumulus nimbus

Alas there will be no smoking meat for Josh today, I'll be farming the pig instead of eating it, but go the Dee's none the less.

Do have a nice big brisket lined up for father's day morning though.

Geez GC you ain’t having much luck. I’m lucky that firstly I still have a job but still am working from home so time of the game is irrelevant to me. 
 

Good luck and just talk fast and it will be over in plenty of time.

So I consulted Titus O’Reilly and he’s very philosophical about the game:-

“As for the Swans, their painful season is at least approaching the endpoint, but they always give it a go, which worries me.

Why can’t they just give up when things are hopeless?

I mean, I give up when things are mildly annoying, but that might explain why I have achieved very little, while the Swans makes finals almost all the time.

That’s my big worry in life. That trying is what makes the difference, not destiny and that exhausts me.

I’m tipping Melbourne, just to really hurt myself.”

I see we are in the black out zone again. I swear if we made the Gf channel 7 would have a black out and  it would only be on Foxtel. Oh well I will be checking the scores and watching high lights package later tonight. Yes I know I could join Kayo, but for watching the dees for 7-8 games over 6 months it hardly seems good value when I have already paid a membership that I cannot use. The joys of being a MFC member never cease.

In a year when prime time has been comparatively easy to score we have been royally screwed. 

Don't forget you can get a free three month kayo sub by taking out a free Bet easy account. (And you can just renew it for free again .. weird)

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
