    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.

You are a clown and surely won't be umpiring for a long, long time. Absolutely [censored] house - you are a joke. Why would we be putting it out of bounds deliberately when down by 5 points with 30 seconds to go. Thats just the tip of the ice berg though. You clown - F$#% off and die.

There are no words to describe the injustice of that free kick.

It happened right in front of us, and Junior was clearly looking at Bell when he handballed it. Had he held it up, he would have been pinged for holding the ball.

Daniher was right in his post-match conference, the umpires were just NOT in the right position. It was a pathetic decision and it may well have cost us the game.

As for that free kick against Neita, maybe it was there, but so was the push AGAINST him by Lade.

When things don't go your way, they just don't go your way.

This is by far the hardest loss of the year, and I hope that whatever little confidence was gained throughout the match, wasn't lost in the last 2 minutes of the game.

Saw a lot of 2007 membership scarves in the MCC today, but your right, still have plenty more who need to sign up. My point is though, I don't think today's crowd can be blamed on MCC. Where are all the MFC members? We have 27,000 of em.

The holding the ball decision he paid against us in the first quarter was unbelievable. Another umpire was standing ballside 10m away watching calling play on, and this clown has blown his whistle from 30m away through the pack.

Unbelievable.

Not only 24, 25 was a disgrace. Pathetic inconsistant morons. We're not asking to be favoured, we just want it to be fair.

If we haven't had to put up with injuries and more form already this season, now we have to cope with the yellow maggots as well.

I just can't believe it.

Oh and how was that pea heart Motlop with his post goal celebration at the cheer squad? Don't worry Daniel, you'll always have that shot at goal after the siren down at Tassie last year hanging over your head.

That umpire can f*&% off. Never in my life have I been more angry at a bloke. Why in the hell would Junior deliberately put it out of bounds when his team is down in a close one near the end of the last qtr. Work it out you moron, why the fu*k are you an AFL umpire if you can't interpret the rules properly. As for the Carroll decision when Tredrea kicked his SOFT goal, I nearly put my shoulder out when that happened.

The Neitz free kick was possibly there, but even so, SOFT as [censored]!!!!!

We were absolutely robbed, I hope the umps all get sacked and lose their jobs. F OFF.

My issue with that free is that in a contest where they're barely paying any free kicks at all, why pay a soft one? Plenty more contests were identical during less crucial parts of the game.

Correct. They were letting everything else go, until the last quarter.

Every 50-50 decision went their way, and that is what bugs me. We won more of the contested footy, but we were never rewarded for it.

We can't blame the umpires for costing us the game, because we should have kicked straight and we should have manned-up in the last few minutes. But the umpires had too much of an influence on the match, and that is when you know they are doing a bad job.

Now I have discovered why they are called white MAGGOTS......it seems that whenever I watch Melbourne games the umpires seem to be against us...I mean poor Carroll seems to cop it alot for head high tackles. Or maybe it's just me.

Today's game it seemed that we got penalised for high head tackles and back pushing but Port Adelaide seemed to get away with it when they did it.....may the umpires can only see one sided.

Port Adelaide shouldn't be happy with their win, because they only won because of the umpires...we played a really good game and I am proud of our players. We fought hard and didn't give up, which was good to see. As far as I am concerned we are winners and can hold our heads high.

Good on Neil Daniher for voicing his opinion of the umpiring.

    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

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

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
