  • 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.

What strikes me with these is how every player contributed to our great win. Not just the stars, but those with fewer possessions kept at it with a shepherd, a knock-on, a tackle, a block. Like TMac on the goal line, Kozzy’s protection of Trac. I can’t tell you how wonderful it feels to watch these highlights. I’ll be back tomorrow.

Watched Viney. 

Not only loose ball gets, 50/50s, he sends us forward from 30/70s. 
 

Bull. Battering ram.
Won’t make 200  at this rate. Wrap him up a la Clarke Keating.  Get games into kids, releasing Viney for Selwood and big matches

I used to wonder if opposition supporters came back at random times after, say, Hawthorn won another flag to just watch the game bites. This is just so new and fulfilling to experience. Actually watching us winning the last Game, Enjoying the brilliance and determination.....and enjoyment. So many happy hours.......Start of next season will probably ruin the bliss, but start the expectation.

He was very close to a Norm Smith IMO. Its a shame the voters onnly put value on the "big" "flashy" moments!

It's only when you pore over the replays you really notice what a game he played.
In many of the crucial moments he was right there in the thick of it.
He might not have been finishing them but he sure as hell was starting them.

Told my cousin a couple days prior to the game to watch Viney.
Might just win the Norm Smith and get suspended for 6 weeks as well 😅

Had to laugh at this story when I heard it today.
Just start the clip and it'll go the right spot.
I expected nothing less 😁

Really looking forward to Sunday

Great get Fork, thank you.

So many great lines throughout but when Max was asked what were his favourite games for the year (aside from the GF) his comment “all 3 times we beat Geelong were my favourites” was brilliant.

Here's Salem's turn in the spotlight!

Was definitely in our best 4-5 players on the day. Don't think I'll ever get tired of watching him with ball in hand. Surgeon like precision with nearly every disposal.

 

Your easily pleased, he did stuff up one of his 26/27 possessions!

Hopefully he improves in 2022! 😂

Absolutely brilliant work thanks. 
I guess a labour of love and must have been a hell of a lot of fun doing it but still magnificent hard work.  
Can this be pinned indefinitely please mods?

I didn't want to start a new thread for this article in the Age. In case some of you that may have missed this.

Remembering those that left us too early in life, but I'm sure they are with us in spirit. Their families are keeping their legacy going.

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/families-of-demons-who-died-too-young-say-their-hearts-still-beat-true-20210915-p58ry0.html#comments

Greg Parke played in the Mid 60's passed on, the morning of the 2021 Grand final.

With the sadness that we have endured over the long journey to add No 13 to the trophy cabinet, the families of some of our past greats now have a big smile on their faces. Lest we forget.

Apologies if this has already been covered in this thread (thanks so much for everyone's contributions) but I'm keen to have a copy of the full grand final with the different commentaries in the best quality available.

Is the only option to purchase the DVD?  I'm happy to pay but I don't think DVD is a good long term option as DVD players are already rare (I don't have one anymore).  As far as i know there isn't a digital purchase option?

I know you an watch through Kayo - but I don't want to have to have a Kayo membership just to watch the GF in future (and I think they wouldn't have the different commentary options?)

I'm sure I'm not the only trying to find the best option for this - what has everyone else done?

    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,

    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
