    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 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.

It has to start now.


👉🏽Do not entertain a shoot out
                                                                     👉🏽Match Viney’s intensity

👉🏽Shut down Curnow and McKay

👉🏽 Kick straight / give off to someone in better position 

👉🏽Tackles / defensive pressure inside our 50

If we can do this, we’ll win by 8 goals. 
 

Go Dees🔴🔵

...and no third quarter nap time

If Melbourne let  Carlton do as they please and Cripps roughs up a few of our players without brutal retaliation from us we'll probably lose half the membership base for '23.

Get the job done dees . No talk about yesterdays players no matter how respected they are.

Get it done.!!

I know I’m banging on about it but BOM says chance of showers all day. What a load of crap.(Just like it did for last Friday’s game - which didn’t rain one bit during the game)  (The app I look at shows a number of forecasts, one says a shower around 5pm, the other at 7pm)
 At worst there may be a shower…….so all of us that can, turn up and be loud and proud.

FFS, it would be nice to outnumber the opposition supporters at our last home game for the year.  Is that too much to hope for?

My friend Peter “Johnno”’Johnson (an arrogant Blues supporter) reckons they have our measure and guys like Saad and Walsh will expose our zone.  He thinks Curnow and McKay will be too much for Dees. 
 

Bring it on. 
 

I do wish we had a strong marking “figurehead” key forward like Neita in the line up. Our multiple entries seem to go wasted a lot of the time.

A bit nervous about tonight. My MFCSS is in full swing. Blues got nothing to lose, Cripps playing, backs against the wall, statement game to claim “The blues are back”. We’re a better side, and we just need to get the job done tonight.

Our fan base hasn’t seen a victory against a big Melbourne club since Anzac Eve. As a club we need to win tonight as it’s winning these games which makes our supporter base want to show up rather than get out numbered in the crowd and beaten. Give our supporters a reason to walk out after the game heads held high with a victory.

Spot on. Neiter was such a reliable target.

I wish Dogga could come close to him.

But I guess Jackson is younger and may some day. Hope he stays.

 

Bbb was doing well last year at this role and really improved his contested marking or at least getting the ball to ground for our seagulls.

Here's hoping anyway.

I hope Dees supporters don't boo Cripps(though the system does deserve booing).

Booing just encourages players. Don't let's help fire him up.

And it's just not the Mlbourne way. Too much class. Especially when one has a mouthful of Jarlsberg cheese the throat is dry and it's hard to make any sound.

The blues usually get home crowds in the 40-50s even against interstate so it seems low especially when you consider the importance of the game for both teams.

One should expect a decent crowd but who knows

It's a fight for finals possie ....I reckon closer to 59,987

Us supporters have not given up so 25k Dees...30k blues and 4987 hanger ons whose teams are " resbuilding"

I'd say most of us probably agree too Mr Sunrise but the blues have bit to lose this being the 2nd last game of the season.

You want to power home with the spinnaker up and win those games going into finals.

Yea out form has been down but we haven't been humilated.

Tighten up our backline with May and Lever doing what they do best ...intercept marking.

And have bbb stand tall so to speak and clunk quite a few. Fritta to spark up and Kozzie and Sparticus to do the rest in terms of scoring.

I'm hoping Jackson and Gawn swapping roles every ten mins will be too much for Carlton.

Bring it home the best club in the world.

Going off a tangent here. Nothing new I suppose 

 

Moving to Northern Wollongong ten years ago...I thought I do right by my 16 yo son and take him to a nrl game.

His mates follow it.

 

I tried ny hardest to get into it as I have enjoyed state of origin....the rivalry and atmosphere is like 3 grand finals in a row .

But a normal game well our team the Dragons were smashed....it was quite boring to Afl.

Sure I appreciate the toughness and courage of players... especially standing under a rain maker with 1000kg of men coming at you.

 

I know I'm bias but truly it lacks the speed... the speckies....the snaps....the disco dancing around players...the run and precision.

 

Even after 4 beers it wasn't holding much attention.

 

Afl is the best game in the world and it's all ours...the Irish are smart and have something similar.

It's a great leveller...players and class.

5ft 4 mid v a 7ff ruck.... plumbers and politicians all enjoy this unique sport.

GB have soccer...yawn.

Usa has football....like nrl.

France has rugby...not too bad.

But Afl wins hands down. A GAME called footy but can have more handballs than kicks.

I'm tearing up now must go...proud to be an Aussie.

On a much lighter (and way sweeter) note: this is what I bring to our games. (Please don’t judge me)

I call it the “I don’t care about living to a ripe old age” ensemble. The banana is included since I do care about living ‘til the end of the match. 😁

JK. I actually share these around with my comrades. Especially for a double-header like today. I’m a (sugar) loading believer. So if you notice a spike in our energy levels around the beginning of the second quarter tonight you’ll know why. 
You’re welcome!

PS: hey @The heart beats true! We could fill our squadders with nothing but pure sugar for a week and have em all hooked up to a liquid sugar drip and they’d still be s**t-house, amirite?! Someone should start a thread about it!

Not sure if I really believe the banana story.

If I know you and I think I do a little I'd say it was there to surreptitiously toss on the boundary line for a blues player kicking from the pocket.

But I won't tell anyone. Oh wait...

    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.

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

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
