  • 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 read that it’s been a last minute deal. Jump onto your AFL Live app and there is a new banner for the live stream. I’ve included a few screen shots below!

Hopefully this works for you!

Thanks heaps Wiz. I'm assuming now that I can at least watch it on my phone. Maybe you can also help with my other dilemma? Just moved into a new place and don't have a washing machine yet. Due to being busy, have let the clothes pile up a bit this past week, so all that I have left now is one t-shirt. It's in our red & blue, but has some unfortunate white stripes on it as well.

A) Should I burn it and go directly to the shops for a replacement? B) Take it off and just be half-naked and bare-chested for the game? C) Hand-wash some clothes now and maybe deal with being a bit damp and smelly? or D) stop being superstitious and just get on with life and enjoy our grand final win?

If anyone at the ground picks up the special badges with members surnames on them maybe stick a pic on here to give those members stuck at home a little boost. Never know, someone might see their family name.

Mmm...random stuff to ponder with 4 hours to go...

I quite like Luke as a coach, but when did he become a genius?  What's with THAT narrative in the media? 

Is Goodwin not a marginally better genius? Where's the print on that?

Just rewatched all episodes of "to hell and back" because what else will pass the time...

That moment when Maysie did the final crab walk with kossie and all the boys cheering when they got across the line on the beach. Hit me right in the feels. 

I am not okay today haha 

I remember commenting on here after that, there is a premiership in these boys. Tonight please.

Hey EO . . . he's one of us remember. And anyone that can get Boyd and Schache to play well in finals has got to have something going for him.

Not at all stifling, but I could probably survive without a t-shirt for a couple of hours. If it gets cold I have a blue jumper on stand-by. Wearing the club colours hasn't at all served me well in the past.

There’s something very satisfying about watching Brereton forced into saying positive things about us.

He’s still going on about how reliant we are on Gawn, and he’d rather the Dogs’ game plan, blah blah blah. Can’t be TOO positive. But we’ve made a grand final. He pretty much has to concede, once and for all, that we’re a damn good TEAM.

Interesting the focus on the 'grand final' experience differential between the two teams. Most media outlets are reporting 7-1 in favour of The Bulldogs...

I am surprised they have forgotten this immense occasion, and the exposure to pressure matches that this gave TMac, Nibbler, Gus, Petracca, Fritsch and Harmsey.

I'm an emotional wreck.

I've been so positive all week but I'm on edge atm.

I am so bitter and angry.

Lockdown never, ever again. I am over it officially now. Done.

This isn't living. Sitting at home on a couch, no celebration. No "being". I'm trying to make it a day of celebration but it's tough.

I’m certain that Rob Sitch is a Demons supporter, but I’m sure I just saw him finish his American News segment on the ABC News channel, shouting “Go Dogs!!”… what’s with that??

He is mate.

So i just placed an order for the signed gurnesy for $2070 including postage. Im a part-time Aged Care nurse who really cant afford to squander money like that but what the hell.

This is a one-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

I will worry about the money later.

The wait is intolerable.

My mind keeps drifting to what should be happening right now in a "normal" year. It'd be close to half time. We'd all mostly either be at the G, at an MFC arranged event, or with family/friends somewhere.

But it is what it is.

If we lose, I know there will be certain posters who will be upset and their posts will reflect that. But a loss today doesn't erase the joy the club gave us throughout an enormously difficult year. Yes it will hurt, but I hope that Demonland doesn't flip from being the positive, supportive and embracing community it is right now, to a forum clogged with bitterness and anger.

    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.

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
