  • 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.

Not cheap, but I think pints are over 14 normally 

Pints have really caught on. Even in trendy Wollongong they are all the go.

Such a wonderful standard unit of measurement where one can swear in good conscience in a court of law that "I'd only had a couple of beers".

And on top of it all, you can visualise this lovely exchange every time you order one:

No point wasting time with pots. Pints the only way to go if you're being serious.

Amateurs!

The jug is the only size for a decent beer, however they do look at you funny when you order six!

An hour before the bounce and it does not matter where in the world you are, it is still an hour before the bounce.

What I want to see this evening is the team 'on' from the first bounce. I want to see us playing the game on our terms and making sure that the Tiges are reacting and on the back foot. The on-field leaders have to do their job of keeping minds concentrating.

Pressure, Pressure, Pressure on the ball, the ball carrier and the possible next receivers all over the ground. A team game.

Individual performances I will be keeping an eye on:

Viney - he has been in great form this season except for the Lions game. I want to see him respond. 

McVee - just cause I enjoy watching him.

Petty - had a couple of games back and there is now no excuse not to perform.

Win for the Dees by 6/7 goals.... heart over head? we shall see.

Expect a lift everywhere. But for a few last game, we were so flat. I don't know what happened but we looked very ordinary on our own turf. Ill pay that we played last year's runner's up but something went wrong somewhere. 

Tonight there's no where to hide and no excuses. No fatigue .

Our midfielders need to get back to winning the centre clearances and stop teams connecting with all Maxy's tap wins.

Our forward line needs to get cracking. If we can't hold our marks then they need to follow up with non stop tackles and pressure. 

Hopefully Olivers much better after his operation and Kozzie bolsters our pressure acts.

I'll back Petts to come out firing and have a big game in the absence of Bbb.

The focus is all on us tonight not the tigers. If we are a top four team then we need to have a comfortable win this evening.

Enjoy the game ladies and gents. Especially those of you there. Cheers.

Laurie the sub.

Turner starting.

Probably on the bench to fill Roohey's role when he takes over from Max in the middle and also when he's resting on the sidelines.

Good luck young fella!

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
