  • 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.

Given his form over the last 4 weeks, there's no way Tom Paterakis would miss out on this team, so I'd be guessing it would be: Hughes, T Johnston, S Martin, Paterakis. Definitely a much stronger looking team this week, see you at Port Melbourne!

From Melbourne Central, walk down to Collins Street and catch the 109 (??) tram heading to Port Melbourne. I'm fairly sure TEAC Oval is close to the tram line. Just ask the driver.

Or (if if still runs) the Garden City bus from Flinders St might get you a bit closer.

Now now Fan..... your mood will change once you've had a few stubbies... I was just talking with Brad, and he's also not pleased with my 2007 attendance either. Love is grand, but apparently massaging your ego is more important. Lesson learnt.... :P

You guys are obviously diehards.

I hardly ever get along to Sandy - work shifts, kids etc.

I can go tomorrow. I was wondering how much support the Demons will give Sandy in their finals campaign now that Dees' season is over. Will players, admin, coaches, Board etc get along to support Sandy at the weekend (might be able to get an autograph for the kids if they do)?

I won't be there - not because of commitments etc. - Just because I don't really care all that much about Sandringham.

Far enough, it's our seconds & I know it's good for our kids & for injured players to come back through but my number 1 is Melbourne FC & they have all my passion...

If you were REALLY passionate as you claim then you would want to follow all the Melbourne players where ever they played.

Oh and BTW the Sandringham Football Club is not the MFC "seconds ' but a seperate entity.

Check last weeks finals team that had a handfull of Melbourne players none of whom are regular senior players and Sandy still just got beaten!.

I support the jumper - Not the players.

So your pretty much saying that you don't give a S#*T about the players at all, and you're saying that if another club was wearing the Melbourne guernsey that you would barrack for them???

it is ridiculous that you would make a comment like that.

I support the PLAYERS as well as the Jumper.

I was pleased by your attendance (or lack there of). You better not come they don't let you leave at halftime.

Ok. Good.

But let me ask you this... Who's your favorite player?

Then ask yourself if that player was traded to Brisbane, would you fly up there, get a membership & live up there until he retires??

Doubt it.

Of course I support the players but ultimately, they are there to serve the mighty red & blue.

After all, that's what they're paid to do................

In future, don't make stupid negative remarks about me ;)

    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
