  • 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 03

Easter Saturday produced a couple of good ones, Easter Sunday has the potential to be ugly. Hope Ooze and his Tigers have a change of luck.

My god West Coast are awful, like worse than MFC 2013 awful.

They don’t deserve a start of R1 priority pick, but for the sake of the competition they need one (they should be forced to trade it for ready made talent though). 9.4 to 0.5 in almost a half of football.

Not as good as our 16.4 to 1.1 in 1.5 quarters though 😜

According to the Fox commentators just now, it is Priority Picks. Despite WCE netting a flag merely 6 years ago and digging themselves into their current hole skewing their list profile to try to add to their 2018 success.

2 years of compensation picks leading into Tasmania’s compensation picks. 
 

Last night was so enjoyable then I start to think about the umpires, the MRO and the 19th and possible 20th team and wonder why those that have a voice sit in silence.

Feel for Harley Reid. His plight is not dissimilar to that of Jack Watts in terms of expectation. Even more so of course. And I just wonder if playing for a team so bereft of structure and talent will end in unfulfilled potential and bad habits.

West Coast are so unbelievably awful. It's a bad look for the competition but they can't be getting any bonus picks just yet. They won a flag 6 years ago. Need another 4 years at least of performances like this before priority picks come onto the table for a team that won so many flags in the AFL era and has won one so recently.

Still it's a bad look for the comp - one dud game per week.

I’d love to try and get Tim Kelly to the club somehow.

Surely he’s sick of losing, even if he is at home.

Made a fair song and dance about wanting to go home. Not for mine.

Lucky for us we get them twice this year.  It really is a massive advantage for those sides who have drawn them twice. They will jag one or two upset wins but they are definitely in the same category as the 12/13 Demons.

For some context, at the time he had 3 children under 2, including two with autism, and no family support.

Tiges playing Sydney very well. Suffocating their run, no free outside unpressured disposals, making them kick to a packed area.

Still digging out a two storey basement whilst they await planning consent.

It’s too late for Meth Coke and North now. Probably Hawthorn as well, the Map of Tassie will be cleaning up on young talent. 
there will be a few Clubs very concerned about the future

getting the Eagles back into contention is way more important to the AFL than supporting Tasmania

    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,
