  • 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.

I flicked over to the women's marathon and congrats to Jess Stenson (Trengove) winning gold, 3 aussies in the top 5. Awesome achievement.

Got to give credit where credits due. Geelong look pretty formidable. 

Dogs defence is not helping them. 3-4 goals out the back just shouldn’t happen. 

They apply lots of pressure, which shows they are hungry. We haven’t seen how they cope with similar pressure. Let’s see it in finals.

I know we no longer play footy as a one-on-one game but surely if you are getting flogged as the Doggies are now, stopping Geelong's free flowing football with multiple free players becomes something of a priority. And from memory, you have to run - lots of Doggies players trotting around with little intensity.

Dogs set themselves up to beat us. It was their final. They needed to get it done and they did. Shame for them that they won’t even make finals… 😂

Can’t believe we lost to the Dogs. They look a second rate team. 

It’s going to be hard for anyone to beat Geelong. 

Fortunately finals are no longer played at KITTYLITTER PARK. Though I guess they may whine their way into getting one v Port or Freo
 

Interesting that the BS about umpire disrespect early in the season has gone right out the window, at least for the Cats at KLP

Then played really well last week. It was the best I’d seen them play for 12 months. I don’t think they got enough credit around here for how well they played against us. It took everything they had (and a bit of luck) to beat us.

Dogs are a great offensive team but terrible defence. Marvel suits them and we inexplicably played an offensive game. Let see how cats go against best defensive unit in comp. There will be no out the backs and stroll out of midfield. Toughen up Demonlanders we have the firepower and ground advantage to take the Cats on!

Digs and Cats both treated playing us like it was the Grand Final.

Maybe they (Dogs) should never think they are in a GF again - we mentally scarred them.

Don't like Cody Weightman very much as a player, but that was a bully act from Ceglar. Lucky there was no injury.

Seems umpire dissent is no longer a thing. Well, not as far as Hawkins is concerned.

It hasn’t been for a long time. The way the game as a whole is adjudicated from week to week and game to game and even team to team is a joke.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
