  • 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.

Nth made to many interchange rotations. So the umps are correct and that's the rule.

Gee nth can't take a trick

gifting the game based on that infringement is a ludicrous rule. 

make Nth play with 17 players for 5 minutes or any other punishment

Bulldogs have a nice little deal going with their Ballarat games. Reportedly they get $1M from the State Government to play there.

Could we have a game in say sunny Mildura.

The irony is that the ground capacity in Ballarat is so small most Dog supporters don't bother with the trip

Yet AGL HQ insist that Hobart needs a $300,000,000 stadium.  What a pack of hypocrites.

It was because the ball was inside there 50. The free kick is where the ball is. But yeah it's harsh but all the other teams have managed to count

North are competing with Melbourne for the decade from hell. They cannot do anything right and cannot take a trick. 
My Swans supporting friend is at the game. Said s young North fan next to them is bawling their eyes out. It’s just so heartbreaking because you know what that feels like!

Yet when players on the ACTUAL FIELD don’t line up in THE CORRECT PLACES THAT COULD DIRECTLY IMPACT THE GAME, everyone gets a warning????

That makes no sense.

100%

Everyone knows what the rule is - it's not hard. Is a real pity for North though.

No conspiracy. Nth stuffed up there interchange rotations. Surely there is someone on the nth bench that counts these

I’m not doubting the free kick - but the delivery system for that from a gamesmanship perspective is horrific.

’Hi, I’m a voice from above that no one can hear but you. Yeah, that team wins. Cheers’

Yet what happens, if, sometime in the future a similar thing happens but the interchange steward and not the club got the count wrong?

Interesting. Last night a Port Player did not leave the field though the interchange gate. Someone posted the footage and asked the question last night.

Was on Twitter last night. Will see if I can find it. They asked the question 'When did the rule get changed" Never thought much of it until I read the rules just then.

    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,

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more.
