  • 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.

I remember walking past him after we beat hawthorn in 2018 in that final. He had a massive smile on his face.

He was on that Sam Edmund show this is your sporting life on SEN and said it's embarrassing that we are still the reigning premiership players. 

It would just be fantastic to break this drought. There may be a few old past players hanging on to see this happen.

None more than RDB. It was fantastic to see the shots of him in the stand this year.
Alas, none if we do make the big dance this year.

Kicked the goal from the boundary against the dorks to secure top spot at the end of r.17 in 1964.

Deserving of praise.

I was at that game and we should have won by a street, but at that ground and with a strong wind that day, we struggled. 

We were kicking to the end where all the goals were kicked, so there was a certain inevitability about it, but it was very late in the quarter when he kicked the winning goal. 

He was also at the helm when we got rid of Woey and copped a lot of flack for that. But he was a very good person.

I wonder if dees supporters will remember Max's goal on the weekend like this in 50 years time?

Definitely feels like we’ve already won the flag. 

I'm nervous for that very reason, but I hope there now becomes a brothers in arms mentality.  There remains a lot of work to be done and I hope the boys are talking about that for the rest of the week, until the first bounce on Saturday.

In 50 years time they probably will be able to look back and remember it, unfortunately they probably won't be able to remember what they had for breakfast in the morning. The mind does that to you.😀

Good to see him, but all this premature MFC coverage has me nervous

For what it’s worth I don’t think any of this noise will go near the players. I’ve never seen a more focused group of Melbourne players. 

I’ve kept a lid on it all year, just enjoyed the ride.

I bumped into him at the G years ago. Charming gent.

Couldn't agree more bingers.  I had the pleasure of working with Hassa for around 6 months in the early 1970's.  A gentleman of the highest order, but with the most fierce handshake I've ever experienced.

I’ve sold some VFL memorabilia over the years - Records, Herald colour posters etc. 

But never that - cos it was personal. 
It will be in my off site storage shed. 
In a Mobil envelope and he “hoped I was ardent Melbourne supporter”.

Thanks, Radar. My 1967 DS21 Pallas. When I finally return to Oz, it’s coming with me.

Oh I like a car with OS provenance. Last few years I been based outta Vung Tau, Vietnam. The occasional Traction - Avante gets around. 
Mine is a current Mustang GT - stamped on the dashboard “since 1964”

    It's Game Day and the two oldest teams in the competition, the Demons and the Cats, come face to face in a true 8 point game. The Cats are unbeaten after 8 rounds whilst the Dees will be keen to take a scalp and stamp their credentials on the 2024 season. May the 4th Be With You Melbourne.

    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

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.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    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
