    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.

Currently watching the Demons vs the Cats in round 23. It's only 3 quarter time but it's not looking good as we're down by 32 points.  I'll let you know how we go.

That suggests he is playing, unless Scott is trying to screw with us.

You’d think so. I was surprised Z Guthrie was named ahead of him, so might be a swap or fingers crossed another injury we are unaware of

Well they haven’t protected Oliver  to date, so why would they start now. They will be too busy dealing with the constant free kick appeals of Selwood and Hawkins. 

Maybe that's why Geelong can't run out games. So many extra star jumps at every tackle and out of bounds?

100% would be playing. Probably was always going to play and the screwing with us part is doing it now. 

I thought it was odd not to replace Parfait with another like for like midfielder.

The question is, who comes out to replace Narkle. Is it a tall due to injury, or will they just make a change with the sub?

Strong chrysanthemum tea for me to ensure I stay chilled throughout the game or else the tension will be unbearable. I have a special bottle to crack open if we win the GF. A bottle of 1900 vintage Madeira wine. Made the year we won our first flag. Owned it for 4  decades and now worth about 3 grand. But what the heck, I cant think of a better time to drink it.

I am swamped with nerves. So much so, I can’t give a prediction. 

To say we’re definitely going to lose is disingenuous and a defense mechanism to avoid being hurt. The fact that we have so many firing on so many lines, we are in good form and have a sense of genuine purpose and humility I have never seen in a Melbourne team makes it irrational to say we can’t win.

On the other hand, I know Geelong will not go down without a struggle. Fate, karma or whatever you call it dictates that we play them. It was inevitable. Losing to us 3 times in a year plus losing yet another prelim is a fate they will want to avoid like more than anything you know. They are aging but they still have class and match smarts.

My emotions are definitely on the line. Fingers crossed.

What's the use of naming emergencies if they can be replaced less than 24 hours after being named? 

im not sure you can. i do think there is a fine involved but it is the typical Geelong tactics to try and fool our team. 

I dont think Narkle can be anything more than a medi-sub without attracting more fines.

Super nervous and excited, what could be worse if its like the 3rd qtr of the rd 23, I can't pause walk away for a bit and then comeback. But me and the family are heading in at 3.30pm to get in early and enjoy the build up at the ground.  I'll see if there are any badges left to grab from our stand.

I’m feeling a strong mix of nerves and excitement for tonight. I don’t know what it is, but I just feel this is our time. It’s not just us who think it, it’s every other footy observer. Is it possible that we’re all wrong?

The Cats remind me of the old team on the ropes where one more knock out will kick them out of contention for good where we won’t see them again in our finals for a few more years.

Someone likened this game to the 2000 prelim and it’s resonated with me. A team full of momentum vs an ageing team now just approaching outside the window. 
 

Let’s get it done Dees. Bring effort and intensity. Kick straight in front of goal and just hope the umps are kind to us.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
