    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.

Hi all,

"Cheer, Cheer the Red and the White

Honour the name by day and by night

Lift that noble banner high

Shake down the thunder from the sky

Whether the odds be great or small

Swans will go in and win over all

While her loyal sons are marching

Onwards to victory"

Not a big fan of the Swans but I hope they beat the Pies..!

Fair enough but did you actually go out & buy Sydney merchandise?

Ps. I hate Collingwood fans more than anyone - Freeeeeks!

Sydney will win by alot, who will play on Goodes?

Exactly mate. A few people I've spoken to think Heath Shaw but I don't really see how that would work.

He's the hardest to tag in the league as he can do EVERYTHING!

Either way, a very tough match-up for Collingwood. Aren't really the side to stop him - They don't really have a tall tagger who can run etc.

I thought the Sydney song started something like -

"We are all fair-weather fans,

losing a game will empty the stands..."

and ended with -

"switch back to the rugby league

the Swannies are history!"

But I might be mistaken.

Anyway, my tip is that the Collingwood/Sydney game will end up a lot like the Melbourne/Freo final last year. Hate to bring back memories, but at least we'll know that the Pies fans are really suffering, which is a bonus.

The best part is, even if Collingwood win this week, even if they win again next week, at some point, inexorably, unstoppably, their unshakable fate is to fall short. Again.

I'm so conflicted.

On the one hand, barracking for Collingwood is criminal, on the other hand, the Eagles are criminals.

Who do I hate more? Who deserves to lose? It's all too much!

:lol:

In cases like these you have to barrack against the home crowd! Besides it's kinda fun to watch Pies supporters get their hopes up and then have them crushed.

Have to admit, i thought that the Pies would be bungled out in the first week. But they looked pretty good last night and i give them half a chance against a WC outfit that is underdone.

Always happy to eat humble pie when i'm wrong, this one particuarly tastes bad.

Cats should be laughing either way.

WCE are on the ropes with no midfield and their season on and off the ground has been long. Eagles will travel to the G to get crushed. No midfield...no hope.

If Collingwood prevail, it will take a big effort and they may played their "grand final" over in the West prior to the preliminary final against the Cats.

The other side of the draw is an interesting one.

Port Power will be sweating on this one if Hawks win against Kangas. Hawks beat them at Football Park earlier this year but were embarrassed by the Crows later in the year. If Franklin is on fire, Hawks could get to a GF. FWIW, I cant see Kangas bouncing back. They were humiliated today and stripped bare.

It's actually played at Subi Rhino... poor Maggies they have to travel... Eddie will think his throats been cut.

I think you're right about the Hawks and Power... as Long as the Hawks can escape unscathed this week it should be a cracker of a match. You'd have to think Geelong will be absolute monty's for the Premiership now. My how quickly fortunes can change in footy. Open up a new line of betting for 08 - I reckon after the flyers teams have had this year, all sixteen will think they have a genuine chance for the premiership next year.

Collywobbles will get smacked this week, no chance of them winning over there, not enough ferrals supporting them (Remembers the hideous beings at the game Saturday night and shudders). Hawks and Roos will be a very interesting one but i think the hawks will just strape through...again.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,

    It's Game Day and the two oldest teams in the competition, the Demons and the Cats, come face to face in a true 8 point game. The Cats are unbeaten after 8 rounds whilst the Dees will be keen to take a scalp and stamp their credentials on the 2024 season. May the 4th Be With You Melbourne.
