  • 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.

Just on a lighter side of the coin I ran into Adem Yze earlier today I was coming back from the laundry and Adem opened the door for me.  My wife came scorching down the stairs and said hello and wish

Feel a bit sorry for Hunt & Dunstan Even though l don’t agree with the Melksham decision he’s still a Demon & we should get off his back & support him

Melk’s selection confounds me   He looked well past it in the last couple of games he played 

Has he been starring at Casey ?

He's been okay but in racing parlance.... prefer others

How Bedford is preferred to Chandler is amazing.

Our backline looks pretty balanced on paper - if Riv can step up and take on more of the Nev Jetta stopping role. 

Forward of the ball I still think we lack some X factor - particularly in the air. If we deliver the ball better and Koz can get to work we will look 100 times better.

I don’t know about Melksham, but I do know that he kicks the ball well from half forward and that’s been his role for 3 years.

What does this mean? Serious question. If your preceding sentences are anything to go by it must be disparaging. But what exactly does it mean?

edit: I just googled it. There’s five minutes of my life I’ll never get back.

You've never heard that phrase before WCW ?

Melk needs to turn the clock back to 2018. On Bedford, It's a fairly big ground might suit his speed, he certainly wasn't suited by Geelongs narrow offering.

I haven’t. And I was quite happy having never heard it. I naively thought it might be something insightful (it isn’t) and now I can’t unhear it. 😭

Are you not a Ben Brown fan Nev?
I had no idea.

I actually am, and I want him in form for finals but it feels like he doesn't have enough support in the forward line to be able to effectively turn around his form at the moment. I was one of the many calling for JVR to come in, but thought at least they might bring in Weid.

Absolutely laughable changes. No replacement for Oliver, Bedford gets gifted another game, Melksham has done nothing to deserve a call up, Sparrow and Spargo are undroppable for some reason, no change to the forward structure to fix last week's problems.

By the time we wake up and realise we have some serious issues to resolve, it will be too late.

Dunstan must be regretting his decision to join us, and Chandler must be regretting staying with us. Form counts for nothing. The one saving grace is that Weid isn't in the side.

Will Melk and May run through the banner together as a sign of solidarity?

I think they have picked Melksham to try and improve connectivity with the forward line.

Trac, Viney and Harmes/Sparrow/Kozzie combo in the middle, possibly Brayshaw.

Yes, lord forbid there could be some actual reasons for the decisions.

Melksham frees up Trac and Harmes for more midfield time. Not complicated.

He has been generally average to solid at Casey.  Maybe its compensation for the May incident.

    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,
