  • 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.

Was going to put this in London Demons group. Mods, maybe merge?

The Deeaspora is up and about. Those of us around the world surely feel for all the Melbourne based crew, not being able to go watch the GF at the G. But also, welcome to our world. Fortunately, we all live in an amazing time in which we can connect, cheer and, hopefully, fall into flabbergasted heaps of joyous rapture wherever we are, together. 

If anybody is in the Netherlands and wants to go through this with fellow tragics, send me a PM. Similarly, wherever you are in the world, use this thread to connect with other Dees fans. [censored] i am so excited, nervous, but also quite sure that this is it, and we are all in this together. Go the Demons and love to my Dad who lives in the US and who peruses these boards. This is what all those rainy, ****ty days at the G watching us getting belted were for.

Thanks AmDamDemon.  I am in the British Virgin Islands.  Pretty sure there are no other Melbourne supporters here (but would love to be proven wrong!).  I will be watching the game in the early hours while on a Zoom with friends and family.  Then planning to spend the day drinking at the beach, win or lose.  If there are any Demons out there, come on down to Cane Garden Bay!

Great post. It is really hard being so far away from all of this, but knowing we are all in it together does make it marginally easier. I hope you find someone in your neck of the woods!

Am based in seattle, so if any seattle based dees pleas reach out...Would love to find someone to share in all of this with!

I’ll be watching from Hong Kong!

(Truth be told, I don’t want to watch it at all; would much rather be sedated to 3 hours and enjoy the replay)

I  think I share your feeling to be honest - every time I payed attention live to the game we played this year  we didn't do so well.

You guys in Japan and HK  should swim over here to Taiwan - there's no sharks - the locals swear. ;)

What's the best way to see the game live that the international community recommend?

We’re lucky to have the ABC Australia Channel here which cover some games, but I mainly use the ‘Watch AFL’ app which stream all games and events internationally.

Bonsoir from France.
I don’t think there are other Demon supporters near me, but that hasn’t stopped me from flying the scarf in the car, putting that little membership sticker on the number plate and wearing the MFC cap whenever I go out. Plus I’m wearing the jumper around the house.

Big screen awaits. Just need the cheese platter. 😀

Vive les Démons.

I'm in Paris (south), and I know there are a few others around. Not sure I can face Belushi's or Café Oz, will just watch at home, though I think there's a bar/café somewhere that's doing something as well.

Does wearing a demon hat at Pussers classify  one as a local demon ?

Love the idea of how far and wide we are spread. Gonna be some tough time zones and some confused neighbours in early hours around the place. The WA twighlight game is perfect for Europe, game starts just before midday, almost like normal. Go Dees

Are you going to brave Coco's AmDam?

Cheers from Sihanoukville, Cambodia

Hi Dees supporters. I've been a MFC/MCC supporter for over 50 years, and I'm currently stuck and cant get back. (Obvious reasons) 

I'd give anything to be able to get back and see the game or at least with a buch of Dees fans.

At least I bought a few things over to feel a part of it as possible.

Go Dees

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. 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
