  • 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.

Thank you DZ! I just watched this three times over and I’m sure if I was to watch it 3000 times over it would still be as moving. ❤️💙

My skills only go as far a YouTube search, some people are very quick with this stuff.

This one is very good, almost had me crying like I did in the movie.

They were both first quarter, and very frustrating, but he learned pretty quickly. He was immense in the last. I love his physicality and contested, competitive buy-in. That was his best game, and pretty much secures him for next week. Well done Tommy! 

One of the aspects of Tom’s game which is not widely recognised is his elite kicking ability: regularly kicks accurately 60+m, on the run or set shot. A great weapon in the positions he will play in the future

The canned laughter should have been played when Cameron and Henderson collided ...either that or the Benny Hill music.

That was the moment where I thought we were going to win.

My 15 year old daughter, who doesn’t normally care for footy at all, had tuned in because of my carrying on. She saw that collision and laughed and said “what the heck?”, to which I replied, “that’s the sort of thing players do when they think they’re about to lose.”

Melbourne was 50 points in front of Essendon in an Anzac Day match in the early 1990's. Northey was the coach. They lost.

You're not thinking of round 6, 1992, when the Dees were up by 41 points at 3QT and still lost? Anyway, yesterday's win puts that out of my mind. It's only taken 29 years...

41 points, not 42...

If that was an Anzac day round you're right. I was driving a taxi that day, tuning in at the Park Street Rank in north Carlton.

Umpiring just seems consistently bad week after week, both the deliberate out of bounds and dangerous tackle rules are being over umpired. I'd just love to watch a game where I don't notice the umpires

But here's the thing I have it from a former VFL/ AFL  umpire who has also run the umpiring at a few different local leagues, that umpires, at the moment would be trying to impress so they get selected for finals/ Grand Final. So what hope do we have?

You'd think they recorded the show at half time on Saturday night

Surely he has to be some form of elaborate troll? Wtf was the comment about Geelong's 'star power'?

Thanks, that is a thing of beauty. Just sent to some cats-supporting rellies.  😀

I especially loved seeing Oliver fly over the top to get to maxy.  The love and passion in this group is special.

 I mentioned to my wife at 3qtr time that the last quarter would be 'interesting' based on the appearance, demeanour and body language of the two teams. I didn't expect the magnificent result but was surprised that Geelong where standing and listening to their coach as individuals in a team of champions and we looked like a champion team, huddled together and buying in to what was being addressed by our coach

It was bizarre. Montagna was the only one making real sense.

Hated that no one pulled him up on it.

    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

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
