    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.

North are putrid. 17 game losing streak remember. We're going to belt them.

Dees by 60+

Famous last words. West Coast won't win a game, The Hawks are tanking etc. If the Melbourne player believe North are putrid we will lose. Any team can beat any team on their day. We all know what should happen today but how often do you see team thinking about next week "Carlton" because this week is easy. Respect your opponent or pay the price.

There's information and crossing times on the Derwent Ferries website:

Thx Wheelo. I’ve already cabbed it over and am ensconced at table in the sun at the Waterfront Hotel. Happy hour between 5-6pm for anyone on the late flight home.

Your comment is based on the premise we won't respect them.

We have the bit between our teeth now. The momentum is all with us. Players are playing for spots in a finals team.

I've no doubt we will respect North today, play well and beat them well.

New coach factor doesnt apply today. Clarkson coached Norff early in the season then spat the dummy and fled overseas.

No fiddling about or hollywood handpasses today. Get it  done dees and we'll be 2nd ---with any luck.

Thats the point switched on from the start. Oh and the welcome back coach will mean a lot to North players.

Hope to see a lot more from Jordan and Harmes today as this is probably the last opportunity (for one of them) to impress.

There will be a lot of red and blue around you soon if not already. 2021 it was 90% MFC in there.

The booth at the wharf no longer sell ferry tix to the game. Called up the operator and they didn’t know either! Said there’s supposed to be a couple of crossing before and after the game and it was free if you have a game day ticket. Couldn’t tell me any times though so none the wiser really. Will probably get a cab. 

I wanted to get the ferry a couple of years ago but it appears as if they operate in secret.

FYI the Waterfront Hotel doesn’t have Foxtel. To watch the Freo v Bears game after ours you’ll need to walk 20 mins down the other end of Clarence St to the Shoreline Hotel which has a sports bar.

The talk about his team not being good enough etc very unlike Clarkson, `I've never heard him talk his team down like that. 

  "We know we're still nowhere near good enough to compete with the really strong clubs in the competition"  

Gee we've got not chance now 😂

will be happy with a professional 42 point win

want to see petty and roo dominate as tall forwards again to bank last week's performance

our weight of power thru the midfield should be too much for the kangas you would think, but i'm not expecting to be quite as easy as last time we played them

I was trying to figure out the exact line it would take for North's percentage to drop below West Coast and it really shocked me as an illustration of just how bad both teams have been this season - I punched in some round numbers just to get a rough idea... we could beat North 170 to 45 (making their for-against 1350 and 2100) and it would only knock about 3 percentage points off.

And despite that, as always, respect the opposition because the margin from best to worst at this level is always small. Nobody is allowed an off day at the Olympics.

Lol... just ask Colliwobbles about it.

On route to the waterfront now for a couple of pre game refreshments. 
Let’s hope for a better start than last time we played North here. We were behind at half time with Tommo doing his ACL in first quarter. 
 

Dees by 45  with Petty to kick 4. 
 

Edit. Just looked at the betting odds for the above. $11. I’ll have a bit of that I think.

    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
