  • 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.

I'll go the early crow

Now apparently you have to earn $4.6 mill pa to know how to post a letter $1.7 mill pa to run the AFL! 

I'm only a pensioner whose supported the MFC for 65 years but I'm prepared to go out on a limb here on the 18th February 2017.

We will be the 1st AFL club to achieve the triplicate premierships in the same year in the Seniors, Reserves & AFLW and it will be this year.

I urge every one of the latent supporters of old to get on board now, sign up for membership,ring Robbo #24 @ MFC and join the Foundation Heroes or the RDB Foundation right now or at least encourage any one you know who isn't on board yet this year to act now.

It's going to be too late later to say what a good job Roosy and PJ did.

Lets all support our club, boys and girls NOW!!!

Must be a slow day if George is editing this thread. Did you run over punt kicks dog or something...? 

I've got absolutely no idea, that's why I was so perplexed. Came from nowhere, as far as I know I've never encountered this guy before. I genuinely laughed out loud when I read it, hope George didn't delete it on my part.

Fails on a technicality.

Apart from the fact that a "triplicate" would require every one of the three prmierships to be identical in every way, what would that technicality be? ;)

The Women's game last year was not "technically" the AFLW League.

The idea of a triplicate reminds me of the old William McLelland Trophy. If I remember correctly it was awarded to the club with the most points awarded based on ladder position for the Seniors, Reserves and Under 19s, I recall one year (early 70s?) when Richmond were premiers in each of those competitions and I believe the under-17s as well.

The Achilles Heel for all interstate sides is playing the GF at the MCG unless playing another interstate side for the flag. I hope the AFL don't start giving them too many regular season games 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

    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,
