    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.

People are referring to the fact that the results in the games played so far in this round have been upset games but Richmond are on a bit of a run having won 6 out of their last 7 games which is a better run that we’ve had in that time. 

So in reality, it’s us who have our backs against the wall and on that basis, I believe we’ll follow the trend of the round by upsetting the Tigers.

Nice reframe. 

Good prophylactic for MFCSS.

Still rate the tigers but I think the showdown result shows the form were building (crows are a decent side).

Take the 4 points and move on.

We just need to win. The rest will take care of itself. 
 

I am hoping JVR and Petty click up forward today. That will take us a long way to winning the flag. Especially if Tommo continues his good form.

Only if we can add a fit Fritta to that ( or any ) combination.

Just had a long walk. What a magnificent day it is out there and how good is it to have the option of heading along to the G to see the Dees maul the Tiges.

These are great times we're living in people so get along to the G and support the mighty Demons.

Go Dees

What a cracking day weather wise. This round has opened up for us. 

We have to win today for so many reasons & I really hope Petty gets through the game unscathed because previously it seems we bring him back early.

I think may will set himself up for a big game today after his not so great game last week

I know it’s the one game at a time line, but the players and coaching staff are fully aware of what’s before us. Most of us had thought a top 2 finish was out of reach, the seas have parted. We must capitalise.

I think Richmond will be desperate with finals on the line, I think they should have beaten us on ANZAC Eve but for inaccuracy/accuracy differential, I think their backline is capable, their midfield is not missing anyone and is batting deep and I think they have just enough avenues to goal in Riewoldt, Martin and Bolton.  If Lynch was playing I'd be even more pessimistic.

I also admit there's a bit of MFCSS vibe, and it's been there all week, even ahead of the upset results that make the win more important for us.  Sometimes "I got a feeling, a feeling deep inside ..."  I have money on Richmond little-win.

Hope we go with Hibberd as sub and give Smith a full game at Casey.

I also think a loss at this time is not fatal for any of the contenders - hell if it is, put your money on Carlton for the flag.  I will have a nibble at that though if Richmond wins.

Today we just need to get the win and move on.

Things I'm particularly interested in and on watch today are:

1. Forward connection with JVR and Petty, a close watch for me. We need some continuity now at round 20.

2. I'd like us to take the game on and switch more, play more exciting footy so we can "flick the switch" when needed. Tempo.

3. Forward 50 entries from our mids & half forwards, lowering the eyes.

 

The backs and mids will take care of themselves more often than not so the above I will be playing close attention to.

    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
