  • 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.

I'm taking my daughter to her first game this week she's far to young to have any idea of what's going on but least when she get's older I can let her know she saw one of the best players to ever pull on a Melb Jumper play his 300th even if she does sleep all the way through it! Really looking forward to this weeks game!

One of my kids is in too. The other one is too young, and has number 5 anyway.

Will be a good night. I know I'm excited.

'no cameras' and 'no going onto the ground' for the parents. bummer.

See you there 'deesrock', not that we will be able to recognise each other. (is there a secret demonland handshake we can use?)

I'm getting that same feeling inside comparably to one of a final, anyone else getting that? I am absolutely pumped for this! :D

That's exactly what I said to a friend of mine yesterday. Sure, the feeling before playing a final is incredible, but this has something so special about it as well.

This week it is wonderful to be able to celebrate the achievement for one of the most inspiring leaders and beloved players at our club.

In this 300 game milestone we are able to sit back and reflect on the wonderful career of a wonderful and loyal player.

A player that is held in the highest possible esteem by all who support, and play for, this historic club.

So congratulations to Neita for being the first Demon to reach the mark, and on 300 magnificent and inspirational games.

You are nothing short of a legend to all at the MFC, and the AFL world at large :D !!!

Just found a picture from last years milestone game so that's my backdrop for the day.

Attached. Hope the crowd is a big bigger for this game!

Is the banner (and therefor guard of honour) going to be in the standard spot in the north-west corner in front of the mcc members area, or elsewhere cos its an away game?

ok, question already answered, from the organiser of the guard of honour. A very prompt answer by him.

Hi Rob,

The team will be running out from the away team's race, which is in the middle of the MCC members stand.

Regards

Martin.

Yes!!! I'll be right there... Gotta love being part of the MCC!

    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.

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

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
