  • 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.

Hoping for a lift from Chandler, he was kicking some rippers earlier on, c'mon Kade hit the goals with some X factor. 

I feel the same about Kossie. Given it his "special outing" in the Alice next week, tonight wouldn't be a bad time to turn it on and create some consistency. 

Tracc to keep going, I can see him frequently breaking the lines. 

Over handballing and balls to players under pressure have been a problem. Hoping for some smart footy and not getting lost for space on those shallow wings.

Go Dees.

Hawkins is actually a really really nice down to earth guy off the field. He's spent a lot of his own time with a friend's kid in the last two years who was battling aggressive cancer, and is a mad Geelong supporter.

But for some reason, when he plays football, he is just the worst. Maybe it's the stuff he gets away with, the blatant holding and pushing, the 'accidental' elbows, and the greasy limbs that do my head in. 

Yea your right, I've heard some of the good things he does. I guess  he just plays the game hard. I don't like his wayward elbows but I think he is a very good footballer. Even at his age I wouldn't mind having him our team.

It takes a special type of moron to schedule a game in Geelong on the night of the winter solstice when the MCG is vacant until Sunday. 

Just play it in Siberia and call it a day.

Just reinforces how deeply the AFL (and related Corporate Elites / benefactors) are in bed with the Cats.

Some serious $$ and conflicts of interest happening with decision making.

Even more so than the regular AFL tripe/bias they dish up.

Watching and supporting this sport feels like we have to spend time with these morons week in and week out. 

If these people were acquaintances or friends of friends, I wouldn't be spending time with them or returning their calls.

Was it Windy Hill or Princes Park that was reputed to have the longest public urinal in the world i'd seen it but cant remember  which ground.  I recall some footy diehards being upset when it was dismantled. Where would you put it  ffs?  In a museum?

the whole of windy hill was just one big urinal

most punters didn't bother going to the toilet sheds ... unless they were good swimmers

I have, actually. Once you get past the changing dirty nappies phase It seems it’s smooth sailing for the rest of the journey! That is, if you lay the right foundations. 😉 I have three beautiful sons who have been nothing but an absolute joy to raise. I’m ridiculously proud of the men they’ve become. I manufacture great humans, even if I do say so myself. 😁

just a crying shame none of them like footy 😭

Oh come on now tell me it rains lemonade.Sounds like a yanky sitcom of MY THREE SONS.You have a perfect life and get to support the DEES.

Good morning DemonWorld........and what a fine morning it it’s in my part of the world....

woke up this morning (always a good way to start the day given my age), have showered, shaved and done the other thing. Had a healthy breakfast and just now sipping coffee and savouring the prospect of a great win in the offing.

We will declaw the cats in t’the third after spending the first quarter seeing what they bring to the table and then upping our pressure to take the game away from them and leave their season in a smouldering heap of ashes.

so, as you see, I am feeling confident.

Damn! It’s good to be alive and a Demon supporter.

Dees to win.

Heading off to the store to get a bottle of whisky and a packet of smokes+ bucket of ice. Bucket will come in handy if i have to vomit after Hawkins and Scott hug after the game.

Thai man making a racket next door renovating his shophouse. Cant hear myself think. 

I think dees have this . Anyone know who the umpures are?

Well, it is Geelong's home game (why we usually play Geelong only once and it's always their home game is a question worth asking), so if it was at the MCG we'd have to give up another home game & Geelong would have to get one somewhere else. 

Not sure what the solstice has to do with anything. The last time the Geelong sunset was before 7:20 was 31/3 and that was only because of daylight saving!

Invite the thai man in for a scotch and a smoke he might bring over some thai food that would cover tea tonight

I really meant between the goals, not "hit the goals".😂l

Agree with you, he was getting closer. Hope it doesn't turn into the yips.

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    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. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

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