  • 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.

Well as we savour the gloriously aromatic air of a win our eyes will soom turn to Monday week and a meet with the Filth !!

for the first time in ...well cant remember....we will actually meet with this vermin twice in a year.

Like it or not they...that supposed rabble of wobblies are actually one of the better teams taking to the turf this season. Yesterdays success whilst glorious , to me, isnt really a true indication of whther we are suddenly remembering what to do as much as the collision of many factors. The Crows simply Dissed us to begin Im sure, then hit by injuries they had limited abiloity to retort. BUT they nearly did.

There is probably no match on anyones calender that you look forward to quite as much as Dees / Pies game. Micky Mouse will have been watching the tapes and checkig his list and checking it twice.

I have thought all year that irrespective of form that this ought to be a cracker of a game. Some good matchups and for mine more importantly no glaring mismatches. If nothing much more should come of this season a win on QB wil be some consolation. Then later...we can do it all over agian :lol:

roll on QB..

go Dees

The only thing better than beating Collingwood once...beating them twice!

Collingwood has the form so we will be underdogs for the first time in a few years but I reckon we will be capable of giving them more than a few headaches with the team and effort we had yesterday.

Adelaide were missing - Biglands, Bode, Burton, Hentschel, (and Reilly and Perrie during the game)

We were missing - Bartram, Whelan, Rivers, Pickett, Moloney, Yze, Miller (not sure if that puts us at a disadvantage tho)

Adelaide weren't missing many and we are still missing some - it was a pretty good win. The only reason Adelaide even got close was because we were so scared of losing and went into our shells.

Freo are terrible this year. Collingwood's other wins have been against Kang (very lucky), Rich, Ess, Adel (AAMI), Carl and Bris. They are beating the sides they should beat, but nothing particularly outstanding. Losses to WB, WCE, Port.

I'm quietly confident. Especially if we get Whelan and Yze back.

unless we play at 100% we will get smashed, we need to play one on one and pressure them all over the ground, when freo played off them the pies dominated but when freo played close the game got closer, we have to play hard intense football

Two bites of the cherry...................yum yum. :lol:

It should be a good game but I think we will have the advantage because Buckley he will 'twang' his hammy again in the LAST game of his career and Clement might not be back to push Robbo in the back all day again? :lol:

My mate is a hardcore Pies fan that loves his footy

He is obviously ecstatic that the Pies are 7-3, but he told me that as soon as the opposition matches Collingwoods attack on the ball they will go down

So if we hit the ball hard and tackle like maniacs I think we should get up

geez i sure hope he does. i for one have never seen our backline play any better i reckon, and so with our premier small defender back into the team for the second biggest game of the home and away season, i'd love to see us shut them down completely. bell and he on didak and davis, yum!

Massive game, we aren't going anywhere this season but I'd love nothing more than to beat Collingwood (Twice).

Just as a question of interest, I was told BT on MMM made some comments that weren't taken too well by some Melbourne supporters (They were the ones who told me) after the game, not quite sure what they were about but if it was to do with the game this week I'd love to smash the Pies and rub it in that fat ****s face, he has always had bias against us (I'd love to smash Collingwood no matter what the situation).

frawley needs game time and was bloody good on the weekend, nothing would help him more than showing the same attack on such a big stage. whelan would play essentially ward's role, but tighter and better. therefore ward for whelan seems a direct swap

Read Jaded's post "I am f******* Melbourne". BT said that the MFC is pissweak, the Melbourne supporters are pissweak and the club has a culture where failure is accepted. Game up with all the original quotes about us heading to the snow in our 4wd, blah blah blah..... What a [censored]!!!!!!!!

    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,

    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
