  • 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.


Melbourne v West Coast

Watching the replay right and thinking who is worse between Melbourne or West Coast? :wacko:

Melbourne.

WCE still have 3 out and out superstars in Kerr, Cox and Glass, and probably better under 21 talent as well.

I got a feeling they have their eyes on this "superdraft" and a couple of WA boys namely Naitanui & Rich - dont be surprised if Kerr is traded and they try and load up on first round picks.

They lack quality KPP and leadership at the moment but their list is a lot better then ours.

I'd say WC are playing worse, but we are a worse team, based on our list compared to theirs.

They'd beat us by 5-6 goals if we played them tomorrow, even based on current form.

The eagles form is poor, but they have a much richer list than we do. They should be able to notch up wins against sides who travel to the west. WC will win at least 3-4 games more than we will this season.

Port has bounced back, it looks like the dunce teams in the afl will be WC, Essendon,Carlton, Freo and of course, the mighty dees.

Good news for us us we still get to play 4 of those 5 teams, we may just win a few (essendon have so many injuries that they should be considered a walk over).

If i were an eagles fan i would have less to worry about than a dees fan.

I'm young, but I've seen a lot of footy and we're playing the worst of any team I can recall ever seeing. Having said that I don't think we're too far away from turning it around. We have to remember that most teams go through a crap phase at some point, its part of the cycle. Hopefully all our crap years have come at once, so that we'll only spend 1 or 2 years more down the bottom before we return to finals footy. It happens to everyone, it just so happens that we're really, really bad at the moment.

Well, I tipped it to a bunch of my friends at the start of the year. I thought West Coast would be bad and Melbourne slightly better, but we're horrible and they're even worse. Wow. We have some stiff competition.

As long as our spirit never drops to the level i just saw West Coast's in that quarter. WOW

Even when they've played "well" this game, they've still looked slow and awkward

Well I kept seeing a melbourne jumper on those west coast players, they looked horrible and make the same stupid mistakes we have been doing, but add in the players that they are missing and they would be a whole lot better, they are still rabble tonight, good thing is carltank will win again :)

What's weird is they are playing on Subi liked WE played on Subi last year. Less than twelve months ago actually.

Crashing and burning in the AFL takes no time at all... building a side takes infinitely longer.

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
