    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.

Schleicher is a decent out for them. Two time all Australian defender, Collingwood VC and first choice to play on Tayla Harris. Will also be interesting to see if they play Bri Davey after being close to not playing with hamstring issues. 
If we kick straight we will win this. 
 

PS I am really looking forward to the game. There seems to be something more authentic about women’s footy.

Ms Binners jnr loved it.  I went with a mate who has a young son who is dead keen on footy, but i think i'm right in saying that was the first AFLW game they had both seen. Both loved it. An

That's a strong side. Interested to see Campbell the only girl I don't know much about.

I think I was at a training last season when she was running around within the team.

If she is the same one I watched, I noticed she was a very good kick, and she is a reasonable size.

Both good attributes for us, as a key position player.

Worried that we're still vulnerable to not kicking big enough scores against good teams. Hopefully Campbell takes the second ruck heat off Harris to give us a permanent marking target inside 50.

I'm open to winning more Grand Finals 19-15 but it's a high risk strategy.

I saw Campbell is our first father daughter selection.

Do you know who the father is?

It’s like how footy used to be.

 I’m here now and although the game is over four hours away there’s an awesome vibe already. I just walked across the ground and the surface is perfect. 🥳

Very excited for this one, will have to watch from home though as my kids have an indoor cricket final. Oh, the glamour...

...I'm sure it's been raised elsewhere, but (as much as I love AFLW) could the fixture have been moved so it didn't conflict with the AFLM season?  I "feel" that starting now is taking the attention away from the league that it deserves.

Also, can something be done about Princes Park?  The ground is fine but the stands are appalling, the ancillary services worse and the toilets are terrifying.  Not really family friendly! Crazy as it sounds, I much prefer Victoria Park.

Great to have AFLW back, and a fantastic fixture to open the season with.

We have selected a very strong side, so there will be no excuses if we don't win. Hopefully the desire to go back to back is very strong.

Campbell is an interesting selection. Clearly we will try to nurse Pearce through the regular season, but we do look pretty tall with her in the team.

Hopefully we haven't sacrificed too much run, as this tends to be more important than size in AFLW.

I love Princes Park! The old stands have tonnes of character. I have so many great memories of this ground, from 20 years masquerading as a Carlton supporter ‘til more recently at the W games and training sessions and of course… the Casey Grand Final. ❤️💙🏆

Will be watching tonight.

Why are we unfurling the flag tonight at Carlton's home ground & not at Casey at our home game?

Where and when the unfurling takes place was the Club’s choice. Casey Fields was where they’d love to do it but they chose Ikon because the crowd will be bigger and the girls love playing here.

edit: of course they love playing at Casey more, but Ikon makes more sense.

I think there’ll be quite a big crowd tonight. There’s already heaps of people here. Anyone who’s yet to arrive, come through Gate 6. The other Gates are closed or open, depending on who you ask. Gate 6 is definitely open. 👍🏽

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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

    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
