    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.

As much as I'm on this ‘death ride’ with the rest of ya’s, it’s sorta morphed into a Jackson bashing session.  Remember it’s about where Freo finish this season.  Jackson might be dealing personal

I like this. This is one of the more reasonable posters over in purple land on Bigfooty.      Melbourne laughing at us. Langdon for peanuts now Jackson for 2 firsts (one looking low!) plus

Richmond has to knock off north next week and I'm not overly confident about it. Could slide back to pick 6 in worst case scenario.

Silver lining for a Freo win next week v Port, will be us back in the top 2. If the Pies also get it done. 

Edit: I mean this slightly sarcastically. Massive silver lining lol

Why is Richmond tanking? Don't they know the pick doesn't belong to them?

Hardwick saw the mess and jumped early when offered a nice young list

Not surprising to read that a lot of aspiring coaches aren't applying for the position.

West coast Eagles are a laughingstock. How is Adam Simpson still in a job?

Cost a fortune to break his contract.

Things are so bad now after Freo debacle they may have no choice.

Will be staggering if he's still there in 2024. Theyre a very wealthy club.

They'll cut a massive cheque and be done with him.

Adam Simpson is the least of the problems at West Coast

Their list management and fitness and conditioning teams need to be thrown out. 

They need a complete overhaul of both.

Health and conditioning head has been sacked. And no doubt their recruitment has been poor.

i think Simpson is a big part of the problem. for whatever reason the players are obviously not playing for him. Thats a death knell for any coach. the only reason he is still there is because of his contract. Too expensive to sack.

Useless bloody Suns couldn’t hold onto their lead, but the umpires did help to drag the blues over the line.

Pick 4 will still be ours as long as the Suns can knock off roos and the hawks can take care of Freo.

Yes. That push out of Casboult was pretty obvious. 4 umpires and none of them can see it.

pick 5 minimum and still a good chance for pick 4.

The hawks will beat Freo next week i reckon but I hate relying on the Suns to hold up their end of the bargain. Wouldn't be surprised if the chit the bed against the roos. Most undependable team in the league

Roos losing in the Reid cup is an absolute certainty.

i thought the same about WC

Yes but they still have Curtin.

North could have called their bluff and said take Reid and we take Curtin.

Then swap them 2 years later anyway.

Both clubs now get their first choice player.

do you think they'll split pick 2 or take curtin with it?

I like our chances of getting Pick 4. On form I can't see how Fremantle beat Hawthorn and Gold Coast should beat North. Or both sides could win or lose and Gold Coast make up the 1.6% percentage differential (32 points right now).

    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,
