  • 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.

Speaking of netball, I played at Melbourne High tonight and landed badly on my ankle. :angry:

I've had it on ice all night, but the way it feels at the moment I'm touch and go to be right for Sunday.

Irrespective of whether it comes up, I'll be at the game. Rollo, worst case scenario is you'll get that goal umpire we need.

If we have enough on the bench, we might rotate the boundry umpire role among the benchees. It'll keep us warm when not on the field.

That's bad news Wise :angry:

Hope you can get it going for Sunday!

Big weekend for us. I'm trekking to Geelong tomorrow for the clash and am ready for Sunday as are my two mates (Trav & Dave).

Can't believe we have no boundary riders! Guys, bring along some mates of mates who are passionate for the Dees or if footy is their thing. We need them!

My ankle hasn't come up well today, but fingers crossed it'll be right to go on Sunday. I might have to play deep in the forward line to limit the mileage.

Blessed_Hands can ruck till Cribbes arrives, then they can rotate for the remainder of the match.

We're a couple of talls down now, but with a dozen available on the bench we might wait till we see who shows up on Sunday before finalising the line up.

"Final line-up..."

glad to see your ankle has come good, wise... :rolleyes:

last reminder to all...

bring your own water (to start), sunscreen, and spare footy jumpers if you have them...

we haven't played at gosch's paddock before, but it sounds like footy boots will be fine, and players won't have to resort to alternative footwear...

that's a good-looking bench we have there... :rolleyes:

It hasn't Rollo. I can't even run on it, let alone think about changing directions. :mellow:

But I'll strap it up and give myself a last minute fitness test before kick off... with a little luck I'll be good for a cameo in the forward pocket.

Leaving Healesville now, see you all down there.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
