On behalf of all at Demonland, we thank you for all of your support during 2024 and wish each and every one of you a Happy New Year and a happy, safe and healthy holiday period and a great 2025. Hoping that come the end of September, we can celebrate another Demon premiership!

It's also time to thank all those who have contributed to Demonland during the past season and to all those who post here or simply visit and read without posting.

We value your contributions and ongoing support - especially to Nasher who keeps us going on the technical side, to our moderators whose task is often thankless - especially so when we go through yet another season where the wins are outweighed by the losses.

Special thanks to our regular contributors, Whispering Jack, George on The Outer, Bin Man, KC from Casey, The Oracle, Meggs and all others who have contributed articles and by contributing to our Demonland podcast.

Once again they have had to report on games and subjects that have sometimes been difficult to write about in 2024 because our club went through some difficult times both on and off the field.

Now, we are all looking forward to a bigger and better season in 2025 and hope that the stories and news we bring you will be uplifting and exciting.

We are always looking out for new contributors who have something to say about the mighty Demons.

If you want to contribute an article feel free to contact me via PM.

Cheers & thanks again.

Andy

    Thanks to Andy and everyone else who contributed. Tough year for the club and those involved here but we've been through much worse and will be back better than ever.

    I would like to thank Andy and his team at Demonland for running such a great site. Happy New Year to everyone, and I hope that 2025 is a great year for the Demons. I plan on attending most training sessions at Ghoshs Paddock, and am happy to report what I saw. Carn the Demons.

    Thanks Andy and the Demonland team.  For someone who lives a long way from Home and hasn't been able to get to a match in over ten years, it makes a huge difference in my ability to keep up with things happening with the MFC, the latest goss, what's going on behind the scenes, etc.

    Wishing everyone here a great 2025 and GO DEES!  Please please Dees, make me fly Home in September!  (Then I'll be able to drive my orange EV again.  Zoom zoom!)

    Attendance at, and reporting on, training has been significantly increasing, and increasingly noticed and appreciated by the rest of us

    Two more things to thank @Demonland's influence for, in fostering and facilitating them.

    2025 👊

    Thanks matey… I look forward to the training reports to follow in the weeks ahead. I’d love to get down to attend a session or two with my son, but that’s looking unlikely now.

    Happy New Year to one and all and thanks Andy, for providing and maintaining this platform for so long… you’re an absolute marvel!!

    Hi all Deelanders

    Hope you had a great Christmas and a safe New Year

    this year will be the best, a 2025 Flag would finish it off in the right way

    Will try to cover training at Casey .... not happy with slitherings though.

    Go Dees !!

    Great work, Ditcha. Welcome aboard the reporting train.
    Hopefully your reports will be equal to the stories you contributed to over the years in the Roaders Rag.

    2025.

    May it be a significant year in the Rich Long History of the MFC

    I expect all of our experienced Players to have an excellent year, that is why they are signed to lucrative contracts 

    I want the Players to push the standards up, regardless of what the Media Analyst spews out each week 

    Number 14 is the aim for us all

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.
