  • 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 reckon the notion that it’s a significant experiment is grossly overstated. How is it so different to the Gawn/Jackson combo?  

The media have hyped the hell out of it. Mostly because they are both AA and neither is a notable forward. I agree, it is not going to be the most significant factor. Based on what I saw against Richmond it is going to be out ball movement. I do think trying to take the 45 kick will open it up for us to use Gawn and Grundy more effectively as outlets.

This is going to be my 5 week old son’s first MFC match. He’s been a member since the day he was born! I hope his lifetime of Dees supporting is more successful than mine.

I have it on good authority that Travis Johnstone will be presenting Bailey Laurie’s debut guernsey tonight.

First child born on Thursday so her indoctrination as a little Demon starts tonight.  Winnie and Daddy will be barracking hard from the couch! Will of course be trying to be on my best behaviour…

Tomlinson won’t be the difference if we win or lose, he’s one part of a team defence. 
Go Demons!!!

If we let Bulldogs in with a few easy goals i dont think our forwards minus Fritsch can kick a winning score.

Geelong kicked over 100 p and still lost comfortably in the end.

Are you suggesting if we let in a few easy goals it will be due to Tomlinson?

Welcome to gameday everyone. You can smell it in the air!

Due to 'Melbourne Air' I cant smell anything.  Sinuses are totally blocked.  Feeels like a pencil rubber up each nostril.

I can still yell Go Dees.

I remember a lot of h8 for Lever as when he was returning from his knee.....lot of knockers. I dont think ppl understand the confidence side of injury rehab. Can take a while.

Disagree. We've all seen what Pickett can do when he's at his best. And 2021 showed that Brown and Tmac can be very damaging when they're both fit.

This is so true, WWS! This is oftentimes more important than the physical healing. The power of confidence is immeasurable. So it’s also why we all need to get behind Tommo. Give him all the love he deserves and NEEDS.

I've got the same issue. A lot of the time I can't smell anything.

Apart from the sweet smell of victory of course!

I think we can cover Viney and Fritsch and I'm not sure Salem is best 22 after last years performances but May is a massive loss. Have no faith in Tomlinson hoping to be proven wrong and happy to give an apology after the game if he does his job.

Before Tomlinson went down the knee on 2021 he was playing CHB with aplomb!

We know he’s only in the team due to injuries but let’s give the support tonight because trying to contain Naughton is going to take a Herculean effort.

    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

    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,
