  • 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.

Hawthorn look like a shadow of the side that discovered the blueprint to beating the reigning premiers.

First Carlton won this year's flag. Then Hawthorn won it by showing the football world how to beat us. Maybe Essendon now have one too? By the time we get to win one (in September), it will be ch

GWS are poorly coached. Must be a Sydney thing. Players happy to get a kick, just hack it on the boot. Pretty pathetic to continue seeing this. GWS are terrible. Sydney not much better. Geelong just barely going here and winning as they like. One of the easier wins you’ll see.

Danger starting to look his age.
32 and 290 games taking its toll. Still a gun but lost some explosiveness

Guess he’ll just have to depend on his kicking skills. Oh wait.

Skills in the GWS and Geelong game have been poor. Not attractive footy. Watched the last quarter of syd and GC. Well the suns have done us a favour. Hope Hawthorn win by a point and lets see where the bears % climbs to.

GWS are useless. What a friendly game of football.

The results over the last few weeks show us that this competition can in no way sustain 20 teams, not now nor in next 15 - 20 years. I’m all for a team in Tasmania but a current club must be relocated, any potential incoming CEO MUST share this opinion for the good of the game.

I cannot recall a team losing 5 players to illness, but stand to be corrected. What is going on here?

🤣But Essendon will now have there excuse for when they lose. If Hawthorn can't beat them tonight then they're not that good.

I thought GWS had turned the corner. lifeless performance from them. The board should consider letting Cameron go early and see if a different voice can inspire the players to salvage their season

Gutless, or heartless / rudderless?

Imagine being a GWS supporter? I Mean obviously you have to because they don’t have any physical supporters, but you get my point.

A GWS supporter, or the GWS supporter ?

That free kick to Hogan was ridiculous. No contact, or minimal at best.

Why don't the commentators call it?

AFL accreditation would be revoked - IMMEDIATELY to said commentators.

Hmmm, very few games look enticing....perhaps it's a generational thing?

Looking forward to watching Big Ange snare another 3 points and take home the SPL later on this evening.

I'm vaguely Celtic, I guess the link with Henrik.L when I first went O/S 20 years ago... more about parochial australiana. 👌

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. 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
