    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.

Hi Everyone.

This ground is the second last ground I haven't been too and I'm heading over.

Will the Deez have any functions or hospitality available at the ground?

Which end do the cheer squad sit and how can obtain tickets to either of these areas?

Any other areas of the ground should I look at that may be an option?

Cheers

i went a couple of years ago to the Tomlinson Tragedy Match at Blundstone Arena and to be fair it was during Covid so not many fans from either side but my memory is the border was open to Vic (I am a Tassie Dee BTW - I'm the lucky chap who went to Perth WA for you know what!). 

One tip for you, is to take the public bus/shuttle from the city (there are stacks of 'em) as parking around Blundstone is a major headache

cheers

and I would like to go too but I have my roots in Launceston so too far to Hobart!

And many supporters gather at the Waterfront Hotel pre-game, right where the ferry docks - then a 10/15 minute walk up to the ground....I don't think tickets will be a problem....

In 2021 there was barely a Norf fan in the bar.

It will almost be choose your own seat at the game.

Hi guys and gals. 

Yes I have booked into the Customs for the Saturday and Sunday nights.

The ferry across looks great and memorable.

Last to tick off if there is any MFC functions for members or pay for some la di da microwaved food at some premium function.

Grundy Kozz and Melk to kick 12 between them.

We sit in either 22 or 23.

23 is the crapola seating (benches) by the hill. Bad area since it’s hard to see over the fence.

22 is in the stand with tiered seating which makes for good viewing. Downside being they don’t let us have our biggest flags in the stand and have even confiscated them in the past.

We won’t know where we’re sitting until the day.

I am going over for the game. Can we just rock up at the gate and buy a ticket like pre covid or do we have to pre book?

It’s a Ticketek ground. Ticketing options here…

That’s it! The bench seats 23-30 are about the worst viewing at a supposedly AFL standard ground you’ll ever see. 

I miss North Hobart oval! Bring on the new stadium.

By the look the ferry from Hobart doesn’t go on Sundays.

Don't worry the Ferry will be running. They won't want to miss out on the Demon faithful dollars. We have done this trip many times and in 2O21 the game was on a Sunday. Depending on where you stay there use to be a free ferry from Wrest Point but I don't know if that's still a thing.

Depending what time ferry you take a lot of fans go across early and congregate at either the Waterfront Hotel or the Yacht Club both strolling distance to the ground. I also know many people who wander around the Salamanca Market or take in one of the many watering holes around there before taking the last ferry across.

Of course this is the game that Clarkson decides to come back to coaching them. 

Does Clarkson coming back magically makes them a top 4 quality side?

FFS if we can’t beat a bottom 2 team, we can’t win the flag either.

I'm a local and hate Bellerive Oval.

 

Saw Gilchrist's 172 against Zimbabwe about 20 years ago.

 

Chris Gayle knocking stuff out of the ground (or at least on the roof of the stands).

 

Tassie winning the Shield.

 

Okay for cricket.

 

Terrible for AFL tho, rug up even if the forecast is decent weather. The wind is chilly fresh and doesn't help for a good game of football.

Hi Everyone, I was planning to attend the Melbourne vs North game in Hobart next week, but unfortunately my wife is sick and we won’t be going. I have 2 tickets available if anyone is interested going for just under what I paid for them. They are premium seats in the Ponting Stand. They are yours for $100 in total. Please email me on [email protected]

cheers.

    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,

    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
