  • 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.

Gawn - involved too late

Viney - disappeared second half

Petracca - career worst game

Oliver - amazing first half

Brayshaw - tried but unsuccessful 

Bowey - record has ended

Jordon - kept at it

Pickett - only dangerous forward

Jackson - another poor game 

Spargo - had little involvement 

Lever - overwhelmed and irrelevant 

Neal-Bullen- some minor touches

Sparrow - had no influence 

Bedford - 5 minute game

Dunstan - instilled no confidence 

Fritsch - 5 minute game

Rivers - loose and wayward

Hunt - was embarrassingly amateurish 

Weidemann - never looked likely

Brown - was thoroughly destroyed 

Petty - tried but limited

Melksham - goodbye and farewell 

May - still our best

Oliver - nothing but accumulation

Harsh.

In the first half he was the number one reason we dominated. Was a class above all our other midfielders and took it right up to the Fremantle midfield almost on his own.

Second half he was tagged relentlessly by Aish and couldn't break the tag. In part because Petracca wasn't there to help out.

Trac - clearly not 100% (he looked slow, almost disinterested in some contests). Definitely not 100%

Christian was really sick yesterday. Couldn’t  even do a very simple favour asked by his management team.  Can’t believe he played today.

And that's how he looked. Played deep forward for most of the last quarter.

Disagree. He pushed the game but was unlucky to find opposition players when he cleared the ball. Oliver was becoming a problem for Freo but for some reason we benched him, and for 10 minutes. By then Freo had halted momentum. It was one of the most baffling coaching decision I have ever seen. I said to my old man “Oliver is pushing the play if we drag him Freo will take control”.

Wow wee. There are dozens of accumulators in the comp on 800K, but rest assured Clayton isn't one of them. I can't remember one cheap possession yesterday. 

Agree ,Clayton Oliver earnt every possesion yesterday. If you want to see a freewheeling accumulator that gets cheap possesions, look no further than the bloke at Essendon who we didnt take. Thank God Clarry is not like him !

Interesting that he was sick the day before.

Maybe he woke up yesterday morning feeling better, put his hand up to play, but realised mid-game he didn't have the energy?

If it's just how he's feeling, I imagine it would have been hard for Goodwin to overrule him if he's declaring himself over his sickness.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
