  • 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.

Credit where credit is due, the suns are giving it everything and pushing us. The key for them will be maintaining this intensity whilst cleaning up their disposals and decision making.

Trac, Oliver and Jackson look too much for them to handle though. 

Yeah I mean the Suns are going at 100% we are at 50%. If we can even it up and get more players involved that will be good.

Rivers knee still not 100%, Gussy hurt his shoulder in that spinorama collision and Smith has hurt fingers on his “good” hand… looks like the injury luck has deserted us.

The make shift defence is holding up well, midfield was slow to start and the fwds not quite able to hold the ball in as needed to keep the pressure on, great goal kicking though.

Can’t wait to see how we “muscle up” this last half.

Difficult to watch.

A few having a real crack, but almost the entire 22 very fumbly. And those kick around the corner to 3 Suns players is just so frustrating; we haven't seen that ina fair while and it is horrible to see again.

Jackson, Trac, Bowey, Tomlinson, Brayshaw.

Rivers should not be playing. His kicking which is usually so penetrating has been horrendous. Langdon running but not getting. Fritsch not going for balls with his name on it. And Suns players waltzing free through the middle time and time again.

If they had King, we would be well behind.

I'm incredibly relaxed. IMHO It's all just good prac for our defence.

Meanwhile Bowey on target for a Rising Star nom.

Hoping Brown gets a few more.

Multi of mel/oliver/brown/bowey is on the table!

No one outside our club will ever talk about bowey, or realise just how much we appreciate him. But he is very reliable.

Sensational Bowey first half.

If we have Lever and Salem we would be 6 goals up. Both can play that game. 
We are running on fumes down back. It’s a makeshift defense with now 2 players who are clearly struggling with injuries. I hope Gus hasn’t hurt his shoulder and is just sore and bruised.

Very true. Still winning with quiet performances from a lot of the team.

Hoping his development may free up Riv to have a crack in the midfield over the next few years

Derm has an amazing ability to read the players minds and tell us exactly what they’re thinking. 

Hey, he was a player from 25 years ago, how could he not know the minds of modern day players.

Yeah, fair enough. Our backline is showing its limitations due to personnel and May is being well beaten most of the time. Although Tomlinson is doing ok, he is being found out in the air.

He's had 18 disposals in the first half and running at 89% disposal efficiency and 307m gained for a half. 

He won't get a rising star this week because he's not a sexy Josh Rochelle or Nick Daicos type.

    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

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

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
