    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.

What a win for the Kookaburras in such a tense match against the Germans! 3-1 and Germany really came to play. We're now assured of a medal.  Will it be Gold or Silver? We'll wait and see....

Our Stingrays suffer their 2nd consecutive Quarter Final exit from the Olympics in heart breaking fashion. After their 13-11 loss to Hungary in 2016, they've gone down 9-8 to Russia this time around.

It really is a great effort as they're all amateurs I believe coming up against nations who pump a lot more money into the sport.  Unfortunately it just wasn't to be. A great Olympics from them though.

Yes the Water Polo Women's team just couldn't get within striking distance ... trailed by 2 or 3 for the majority of the match

ROC controlled the match but we never gave up and could have pinched the game in the end.  A good effort, all the same when considering the funding we're up against (as TD noted in the above post)

It's all happening at the moment. Boomers cruising to a win over Argentina and Del Solar/Clancy take the first set against the World Number 1's who hadn't dropped a set for the tournament until now. Could we go three for four tonight with our teams???

 

Edit: Yes Boomers win by a massive 38 points 97-59 against the 2019 World Cup Silver Medalists. Just a demolition job in the final term after it was only 60-48 at 3/4 time. Our 2nd largest Olympic win ever, just below our 103-62 win over Greece in Atlanta in 1996 which I remember quite well in the Gaze, Heal, Bradtke era.  Next task for the Boomers, the USA!

Now if we can bring Del Solar/Clancy home!

They've done it!!! Revenge for the Commonwealth Games Gold medal match! Del Solar & Clancy have won their way through to the Semi Finals defeating the World Number 1 pair from Canada in three sets 21-15, 19-21, 15-12 in an amazing performance!

The Americans who are on the other side of the draw are probably favourites now, but these two are more then capable of going all the way!

Boomers were supreme and the Beach Volleyball Women (del Solar & Clancy) won well against quality opposition.  Both teams now engaged in semi finals on Thursday

Next up is Latvia (Thursday 11.00am) for del Solar & Clancy whilst the Boomers take on the USA (Thursday 2.15pm)

Shaping up as a big Thursday in more ways than one with Kookaburra's vying for Gold (Thursday 8.00pm vs Belgium) and we are medal chances in a few other sports as well on the same day

Our 4th team still in the running are the Opals and they play the USA at 2.40pm tomorrow (Wednesday)

And the 5th team in the running (The Matilda's) play for the Bronze against the USA on Thursday as well (6.00pm)

Gold to Australia with Ryan & Belcher in the sailing! All they needed to do was turn up today, but they've done better and won the race on top of that.

15 Gold now to Australia, officially our 3rd greatest haul!

Meanwhile the Opals have been eliminated from the women's basketball competition with a 79-55 loss to USA.

I think it's fair to say we're now officially in a transition phase with our women's basketball team, just like we were with the Boomers after the Sydney Olympics and we saw the last of Gaze, Bradtke, Longley etc.

Bronze for Australia at the veledrome in the team pursuit over New Zealand.

Unfortunate for the Kiwis as it came about due to a crash, but a great race by the Aussies and a deserved win.

That is now 36 medals for Australia. We already know this Olympics is currently our 3rd best Gold Medal haul, and now with 36 medals it brings us up to our 5th best total medal haul, going past the 35 we won in both 56' Melbourne and 12' London.

They've done it the Aussie Girls! Del Solar & Clancy have won their way through to the Gold Medal match in the Women's Beach Volleyball match with a straight sets win over Latvia 23-21, 21-13. Tough first set and the 2nd set seemed to be going the same way, until the Aussie Girls steam rolled through the back end of the 2nd set!

The Americans won't be easy beats, as their ranked number 2 in the World, however after we knocked off World Number 1's Canada in the Quarter Final, I don't think that will phase this pair!

This post was meant to go up yesterday!

Well done to Mat Belcher & Will Ryan in the 470 Class in the Yachting!  Gold!

Could only listen to the medal race but the pair went out in style by winning the race when all they really needed to do was finish.  Kudos!

And now our Beach Volleyball Women have advanced to the final!!

Fantastic, and a great start to the day!

Melissa Wu has qualified for the final of the women's 10 meter Platform later on today in 5th position. Less then 10 points shy of the woman in 3rd and 15 clear of the woman in 6th, so she's well and truly in the medal discussion. The two from China look a class above, however once the final starts, everyone starts again from zero, so you never know what could happen?

Yes being alive in so many of the team events certainly helps keep you on your toes for the last few days of the Olympics as the numbers of events start to wrap up.  Fingers crossed there's a few more gold in us yet!

    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
