    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.

Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

Geelong - Pies, can't make up my mind. Pies losing keeps the door open for top spot (albeit a slim chance), but that keeps Geelong's season alive. I think I prefer Geelong out of finals.

Adelaide to upset the lions.

Ditto GWS at AO.

And we beat Carlton locking in the top 4.

Upset alert!

I feel it in me bones

North will beat the bombers

bombers are cooked, are missing a few and should have lost to WC at home last week. Cunnington and Wardlaw in for north

Probably better for us if Collingwood lose to Geelong tonight. It give us more options.

1) We will likely finish higher than Collingwood on percentage if we go 3-0 and they go to 1-2, and therefore securing a top 2 spot.

2) Should us and Port go 2-1, Collingwood go 1-2, and Brisbane go 3-0, we would finish third and play second placed Collingwood. Don't mind that scenario at all.

Brisbane v Adelaide

Percentage could well decide second spot.

A high scoring close shoot out would be wonderful assuming we can't have a Crows win

120-118 is perfect

Agree.

Very hard to win at the gabba.

But the crows will give it a shake, it's an elimination final for them and they have a pretty good defensive system.

The last few weeks for us have been huge (our own results and others going our way), but this week is just as big. Beat Carlton, Collingwood, Brisbane and Port lose and we'll just about guarantee top 2. 🤞

Definitely want Collingwood to beat the kittens. I cant stand their arrogance and Dangerfield saga this week is the last straw. [censored] them.!

Norff to beat motley Bombers who get the rub of the green more than the bulldogs. Umps saved them last week. Useless.

Crows a chance against Lions at the gabba. If Tex fires up so will the whole team.

Can’t see all those 3 losing. 
But, I said it before and it happened so who knows. 
 

I am the most confident GWS beat Port. Less confident Crows beat Lions at home. Not confident at all that Pies lose to Geelong, who to me looked absolutely cooked.

I have tipped North to beat the Bombers - at Marvel, Bombers not playing great footy, North can challenge but rarely for 4 quarters. Tonight, they will do it for Cunnington.

Collingwood tonight. Cats out of the finals is sweet, sweet bliss.

Important to wait until the very last minute of the very last game before claiming top spot! 😁

Tonight I'll be watching Pies-Cats just to see if there's still a silly chance of it happening.

Pies are only two games ahead of us so if they drop this one then the hunt is on for real.

I'm clinging to a dream where Essendon pip them in the final round and cost Collingwood top spot, but then the Bombers still miss out on finals.

Nope, its possible we could become favourites if Collingwood lost (3rd game in a row) and we won regardless of top spot.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
