  • 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.

Okay, first of all, where is everybody? Are you aware there is a match going on between the absolute most corrupt team in the universe and the only team that matters? Come on, guys.

So, I missed the first quarter. What's been going on? Who's good? Is Neita as old as he was? Does Robbo look like he cares? Good pressure? Give me something, please.

Carn the Dees!

Can't tell you much, but the MFC is in front for the first time this year, I do believe.

Whoopps. Momentarily. But on even terms 4.4 each

2 goals behind now. Stats are very even, and M tackle count is higher than Carlton's, so the players are trying hard.

If I hear them crap on about Judd one more time like he's God's gift to football without the ball I'm going to throw the plasma out the window

God yes! I am so sick of that. There was a play where Murphy and Kreuzer were handballing to each other which resulted in a goal, and the commentators were rabbiting on about Chris Judd like he scored the goal, even though he was 50 meters from the ball! Bloody Hell.

4 goals behind now, and at least 3 free kicks have given up freebie goals to C

6 goals down - half time.

7 unanswered goals to C. It's as if they got in front and stopped. Kid's stuff really, junior footy. Robbo 1.1 and 2 out on the full :angry:

Stupid, meaningless. All over red-rover. I have given up on miracles.

can we swap yze with robbo next week please?

In 3 quarters, Robbo has had 14 touches, 6 marks for his 1.1

Yze hasn't had this much of the ball for a cupla years. Dump Robbo by all means. But Yze? Your kidding.

I wouldnt take too much notice of what commentators say especially those who have never played the game

they are there to make it enteraining in their defence but to me i do cringe quite a bit

when judd got the ball without it being anything special the commentators voice went up 90 decibels and described it 100 fold in exageration

had to laugh at the special comments (simpson i think) pointing that out to drew * they would let me play at 4 feet 7 inches *morphet

i would like to see how many free kicks were paid to advantage however. i reckon we had at least 6 maybe 8 or 9 which were paid even tho we had already cleared out possession.

it would also be interesting to see the goals from free kicks i suspect about 5 to 1? plus they got one from a 50 (tho they would have kicked it anyway)

    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
