  • 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.

Or perhaps they’re happy to take 3 first round picks off our hands.

Or a player and a pick or two.

However our target may not be the obvious Reid. We may want a few players.

So many defeated Demons posts on here. Sure we are not playing great but it’s May FFS. We lost to a top 4 team away by 4 points

I back us to turn it around and to be playing a better brand by round 20. 

And this aura around the Pies? [censored] me, stop building it up. they have this mental hold on the comp, the Blues looked beaten when then ran out. and the Crows [censored] the bed in the last quarter. 

For me we need to play fast paced footy, we have the talent to do it. It does come with it’s fair share of turn overs but we can defend that and hurt teams more by creating constant pressure on them.

i did. hence i said i feel we can turn it around. Pies are not unbeatable and we have plenty of talent and hopefully we can make some changes to our game plan and get our clearance game going again. 

if you are sure we will not win the flag, why bother watching any games?

Because I like football, I also said they are beatable, but if we keep playing our game plan we won't.

they'll trade with Hawthorn/North for a first and second. Would you want to play for North though?

would North want another Number 1 pick though? risk another Horne Francis?

I reckon Green would be the best player in the league if he wasn’t so injury/suspension prone. 

5 minutes in, in the wet - one beautiful assist. one lovely goal 

a football genius

They just said Pies run the ground to score 1 in 3 times, from the kick out.

What would our stat be for that, kicking to a contest on the left side, nearly every time.

Also what is the stat for scores by opposition from our kick outs.

We don’t seem to be as focussed on our pressure as we were in 2021.

You know what helps. McCrae having a team that he barely has to make changes to. He has a steady reliable forward line that kicks goals. You don't see him rotating and still trying to work out his best forward line to kick goals. Take note goody 

Exactly this. We won a flag and still have no idea 2 years on what our forward line should be. They got so caught in defense that they were completely blindsided by the comp changing tact and becoming more offensive and we simply have no answer to it. Should have seen it as the afl were all talking about making the game more of a spectacle.

That's one glaring problem right there that's so easy to fix. Mark gets spoilt and punched forward to waiting opposition. So predictable

And who's fault is that we have a ruckman as a forward coach, should have changed it last year, kids like JVR and co need to learn forward craft at this level.

    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

    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
