  • 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.

Worse Side in the comp by far!

Couldnt get too the game today cause of work, just tuned into MMM and going by there call Melbourne`s got no spark of life... There skill levels sound 2nd grade and the players just seem not to give a toss?? They really need to do something down there in a hurry.. before alot of member lose faith forever.. The game plan is 2nd best every week. No player seems to be playing for the jumper..Recruiting is a disgrace and should be overlooked as well as the whole coaching staff, trainers the whole lot needs a make over, or were gana suffer for years.. Every club as advanced expect for Melbourne, even Richmond and Carlton are better off than we are!!!!

And I happen to be one of them, getting rid of ND doesnt change the fact the players arent firing. U only need to look at St Kilda to see what a bad idea it was to fire Grant Thomas, bet they regret that now. I do NOT want that to be us

That loss wasn't ND's fault, our players are absolutely woeful with their skill and committment to playing 4 quarters of football. Maybe its the coaches fault at its root but what I saw today was just shocking. A clear out is required at the club, ND should go for sure, the whole coaching staff should follow and I'd be looking to trade away players like Green, TJ, and Bruce among others. Furious at our so-called senior players.

Rubbish St Kilda were doing well there was no need a little faith was required, footy boards are too trigger happy. This is ND's worst year and everyone wants to pull the trigger, one bad year in 10 is forgivable. If next year is the same then I understand he has to go. What everyone needs to look at is the bigger picture of all the other things ND does off the field as well

4 quarters of football is all we need, gallant, but not good enough. play footy like the last quarter, every quarter and you could turn the ladder upside down right now. get rid of the passengers and start becoming leaders dees. that comment appliesto the first three quarters.

one bad year in 10, did you conveniently forget all the other odd years bar 2005? ND has to go, we are looking very stale as a footy club with him in charge, time for some fresh ideas and a real good clear out of dead-wood.

Are u conveniently forgetting we play finals more often than we dont? Trigger happy!

Losing ND would hurt us more than keeping him, we all want things to turn around

Replace ND with Scott Thompson and i agree. Things need to change you should be the one looking at the bigger picture Demon Band.

Melbourne played three quarters of the most pathetic, inept football I have ever seen.

I refuse to applaud their last quarter efforts, because I refuse to be happy about a come-from-behind almost win, when we were behind because of disgraceful football that lacked intensity and any heart.

The players need to wake up.

ND has too go simply because he can not coach well, good coaches can get teams to win close games, we never do (look at out track record)

good coaches have good game plans, we dont!

good coaches have the ability to swap their players around and they still do well

good coaches pick sides that have good players....... enough said

good coaches dont have losing streaks of 8 or 9 games

good coaches do well in finals, we dont

ND fails on all these

I agree with the fact the demons were absolutely pathetic for the first 3 quarters today. No excuses there.

What will slightly annoy me though, is that analysts will say we have got our good players back(McLean, Robbo). But the reality is, we gained them, but lost Sylvia, Whelan, Bate and Yze, so we were actually worse off.

I don't like to make excuses for us, but this is just one of those seasons we are going to have to put behind us. Get rid of the deadwood from our list and start preparing for 2008.

I am not sure if ND should be part of those plans, but either way, i still feel if our luck improves next year we will be competetive again.

I am disapointed like the rest, but your comment to trade bruce is crazy, he was best on ground today and showed how valuable he is to the side.

    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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the
