  • 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.

Dees win $1million McClelland Trophy

With the Saints win finish top of the McClelland ladder and get the $1million!!

But we don't.

We can drop next week, Collingwood win both of their last two games and we're tied on points.

Not sure what they'd need to close the percentage up, but that's the only way we'd lose it.

Not quite, but oh so close.

The Pies would have to win by 100s points both games.

It’s over. 

Put the $1m in a managed fund. 

It’s done. 
 

Thanks to the girls!

Sure Pies can win the next 2 and we lose next week but they would have a huge % to make up and I reckon that is most unlikely.

Go stick that culture, Robbo and Warner 

that felt good! 

You can't include the girls into the men's in terms of culture. That's offensive to the girls program.

It's Separate. 

The girls are a very well drilled team which is driven hard by Mick Stinear who's created a fantastic culture for the women's. 

The boys could learn a thing or two from the way Mick and his team go about it from a culture point of view.

Yes, but there are many who are happy to pin the failures of the men upon those that should also get the plaudits of our women’s program.

So while I agree that lumping them together is misleading, so are those that want to pick and choose what the club stands for.

It’s certainly a win for the President and CEO as well as all the admin who work across

The men finishing 4th with a strong percentage gave the women a great platform to top it off.

Hopefully it creates a stronger bond between the two playing groups as they can work together for success.

Over 5k per bonus per bloke, 8k odd for the girls based on list size of 31, not bad going.

I'll leave the exact percentage calcs to all of you, but in the theoretical 'we lose next week and Collingwood wins this week and next' it depends on all of a) the points scored and b) the margin in our loss and c) the points scored and d) the margins of Collingwood's wins.

But what Collingwood has to make up can be determined from the current total points for and points against:

MFC: PF - 2704 / PA - 1900

CFC: PF - 2409 / PA - 1952

If Collingwood equal our AFLW record score of 107 both weeks and keep their opposition scoreless, and Brisbane equal our record score and keep us scoreless those numbers become:

MFC: PF - 2704 / PA - 2007 134.7%

CFC: PF - 2623 / PA - 1952 134.8%

I think Anthony Green would call it for us.

The men's side should donate their side of the Trophy monies to the girls. 

They are already well remunerated ( 10X on average now) and they would only be handing more $'s to the tax man than any of the girls would be. 

That’d be a small price for the men to pay for improving the image of the Club.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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
