  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    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.


NON-MFC: Round 01

Why are Blues players allowed to determine where the mark is and almost always run over the actual mark without ever being called back?

There’s another team who have figured out how to win tight matches.

Yep.

Get the umpires to give you everything, have your opponent down 3 players for most of the game, off a 5 day break and  have an opposition player play on from a set shot 2 metres out and miss.

That’s the way to win.

Richmond and Yze deserve massive credit for that performance. They almost won it. 
 

Richmond are going down and this is Carlton’s first realistic chance of being expected to get to a GF. 
 

My hat is off to Yze.

Carlton did everything they could to lose that one, the umps sure helped them out in the last, though the Tigers got the rub of the green early in the game.

Carlton’s defence looks very suspect, but god Curnow and McKay really show the value of having 2 quality KPF’s. We don’t even have 1.

Gee poor yze. Was I said last week welcome to coaching.

I just caught the last quarter. Bolton in the final seconds I thought was going to get through but he forgot to take the ball. 

And where was Dusty in the last 10 minutes? The Tiges had a fair share of it in their half forward but Dusty, no where to be seen when he would normally turn a tight game on its head.

My husband barracks for Carlton and over the decades of our marriage I have really tried hard to like them. 
Unfortunately, I have failed at this miserably.

Well done Ooze, that’s some ticker shown by the Tigers. 

If i was a tigers supporter i would be incredibly proud of the troops, down 3 rotations also off a 5 day break.

Did a Richmond player in the 3rd quarter miss from 2 metres out?

If it wasn’t 2 metres out it was all of 3 out but it was a shocker of a miss all the same. Would’ve given them a handy 13 point lead.

Surprised Carlton didn’t pile on the goals in the last quarter given the opposition were down 3 players.

Mansell, played on from a mark 2 metres out and missed.

Moronic bit of play.

You're kidding right.

You don't regard JVR as a quality KPF?

Give me a spell.

7 hours ago, whatwhat say what said:

i wish people would make a distinction between 'key' and 'tall'

fritsch is one of the best 'key' forwards in the competition

Key position forward (KPF) is, as i understand it, is the centre half forward and full forward, positions that are usually filled by talls.

But I agree on what I assume is your point- fritter, who is arguably our full forward and could be considered a KPF, is very much a quality forward.

So, far from not having any quality KPFs, we have two.

Only thing missing last night was Rey Mysterio giving Tom Lynch a 619. Season script has been written. Blues in the GF.

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    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,
