  • 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.

Decent first quarter. Fantastic first 10 minutes. intensity was there in the 2nd half of that quarter but stupid mistakes let them down. Like not kicking to advantage, going backwards, thinking twice etc. etc.

Overall, our best quarter of the year so far. We still haven't won a quarter this year though.

turnovers still hurting us, however we're working a lot harder than in previous weeks... actually running to provide an option it would seem, something we haven't been doing...

disappointing to surrender the lead at the end there, really should be in front...

BLOODY CRAP SKILLS ARE KILLING US!!!! :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry:

If you can't hit a target, just go away and don't come back.

As much as I love Jones, he cost us two goals. And lets not even mention Carroll... what the hell was that [censored]-weak handball?

Other than that, our pressure is fantastic and we are playing really well. Unfortunately for us, we can't win because we have some of the most craptacular skills in the competition. Still, as long as the effort is there.

By the way, Miller at CHF is doing extremely well. Love his "don't mess with me" burst through the pack.

Quarter-Time

We are six points behind thanks to a couple of late Geelong goals. Having said that, we have been impressive - great intensity but poor disposal. Promising.

Good players so far have been Paul Johnson, Brock McLean, Aussie, Wheatley, Carroll and Neita. Brad Miller has done some good things in the forward half, while Cale Morton and Nugget have both been let down by their poor disposal.

It is not just skills but DECISION MAKING! FFS! FFS!

Jones, meters in the clear, kicking long to WHAT??!?

Wheatley, is the dying seconds, chipping into the middle?

PJ excellent. Miller Good. Aussie, not bad sunshine, not bad at all.

Morton, all he needs is time, confidence and two summers in the gym.

Sylvia should be traded for whatever we can get - christ I'd take a chicko roll at this point. He does stupid things often and good things rarely. Bad ratio.

    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,
