    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.

Off topic slightly but how about Hawthorn's fixture this year.

In a COVID disrupted year, they'll get to the end of the year having only played three games away from the MCG, Marvel and UTAS (their other home). And of those three, one was an "away" game vs Gold Coast at the SCG. 

So they'll only have played two games all year in true foreign territory. 

Irrelevant club for the next decade

I would rather forgo not going to a final in person than play a Home final against Geelong at Geelong. Empty MCG every day of the week or Tasmania.

I called this weeks ago. This is why Top 4 isn't enough. We need to beat Geelong in Round 23. Don't want to play them 2 weeks in a row there.

Anyone who can access the paywall?

It's only for the Geelong/St Kilda game. Also mentions home finals at GMHBA if no crowds in Melbourne. The agenda is obvious.

The AFL is secretly confident it will be allowed to open gates to the public in Victoria this weekend in what will be a major boost for the league. Here’s the latest.

Victorian footy fans could make a shock return this weekend with the AFL secretly confident it will be allowed to throw open the turnstiles in the wake of Melbourne’s sixth lockdown.

High-level talks for Geelong’s game against St Kilda to be declared open to the public are advancing in what would shape as a major boost for the competition on the eve of September.

Regional Victoria was released from lockdown on Monday night in a political decision which delivered unexpected hope that country-based Cats members would be granted entry for the Round 22 clash against the Saints, which is likely to be played on Saturday night but has not yet been assigned a timeslot.

Victoria’s contact tracers have isolated the latest outbreak to metropolitan Melbourne in a breakthrough which could ultimately strengthen the Cats’ premiership chances.

The Cats’ annual longshot request to play their home finals at GMHBA Stadium would be greatly enhanced if they could safely host crowds down the highway in their final two home-and-away games, particularly if Melbourne remains ridden by the virus.

The Geelong region has not detected a case for several weeks and coach Chris Scott’s decade-long plea for home finals would be hard to ignore if his town was a safe haven.

A decision on whether to welcome footy fans back at Kardinia Park this week is likely to be made by Wednesday.

“If it is safe to do it then we would,” Victorian premier Daniel Andrews said on Monday.

Some of it

I long suspected that the only way the cats would get a home final against a Melbourne based club would be if vic country restrictions differed from the metropolitan area. Let's cross our collective fingers & toes that the single covid case in Geelong spent their weekend at the Westfield Shopping Centre in the middle of town.

Unfortunately, the case is not in Geelong, but Lara 18km away. And has been in isolation for their full infectious period.

How good would it be if that fat block head of a coach Scott got his home final in geelong and we beat them (Provided we were to play them obviously).

That would be karma and bloody hysterical.

    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
