Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.

Will be interesting to see if Goodwin has big enough Kahuna's to turn this around next year. 

Even with 12 wins The MFC has managed to dig a big hole for itself in 2017

it is easy to see. Our 1st Quarter efforts were pathetic...

Casey did the same today SWYL.

Some perspective:

Goodwin did his presses after the match.  Nate Jones did a presser after we missed out.  That is enough.  Realistically, no one is interested in us any more for the year.  Did the Hawks come out and apologise for their season?  Did Norf?

Nah, it just sux the big ones in the way we came 9th.  Richmond have been doing it for years.  All focus now should be on the teams that made the finals, and all the tin-arse individual awards. (I'm looking at you Macgrath of the Bombers, least deserving rising star EVER, and only at the Bummers because they rorted their drug cheating year.)

Expect statements at the Bluey, and in the year book things that will clutter my letterbox.  Not before - we dont deserve to be heard, we were irrelevant and 9th.  We deserve to hurt.

And I HATE being a laughing stock of other fans.  I have to restrain myself from punching Bombers fans in the face.  Smug [censored].

I epect The Club to tell me what went wrong...We who pay deserve that and then i expect the problems to be fixed. 

For far too long this club has said nothing...

SWYL got his finals booklet today

9 days after we didn't nake it....

Beyond the obvious hilarity and annoyance of such it highlights how inept a procedure it has been. Had we made it imagine the angst as some got this visy-fodder too late to enact successfully I'd suspect.

Maybe some should email the club to remind of this technology. 

All in all the club are not winning tricks here.

Still...when is this club ever about winning !!

Why bother emailing them. The people who should care are showing absolutely that they give little fooks!

Just some poor worker getting the email, replying with a mostly templated response and hitting delete. 

 

I'm still super jaded with how poor this club has been. When they should have been on the front foot engaging the supporters they seem to be hiding... probably at the snow.

tbh the notion of emailing them was to illustrate the irony.

I know that there will be calls of...there all people... "leave the people alone"  ( suggested imagery..."that Brittany vid " )

This is SUPPOSED to be a professionally run organisation. God knows it runs on a budget of MILLIONS.. not tuppence ha'ppenny .       The difference often between success and failure is , and warning..it's a glib reference to an f'n obvious..... Attention to detail.

The general worker at the MFC is only doing what they're instructed. So it stands to reason someone giving instructions is an idiot!!

I just received an email to say there is an interview with Goodwin on the club website.

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/video/2017-09-05/missed-opportunity-simon-goodwin?camefrom=EMCL_1829220_73153980

Not sure I've ever seen an email form the club to tell me there is an article on the website.  Usually club emails are about promotions.  The club must read Demonland!

Makes up for the club not letting members know that Jones had a press conf.

Better late than never. 

As to the interview, I was very very impressed with him and what he said.  He was genuine and heartfelt.  He is still hurting just like the rest of us.  Clearly he is heavily invested in the club. 

Players wanted to make their own history so are also shattered. 

Time for us all to move on.

And all the emails to the club- my mother did so yesterday expressing the supporters need to hear from coach/ceo/president, in order for hurting supporters to move on from 2017. Closure I think it is called

I think they have been bombarded with emails asking to hear from the coach. I also sent one last week.  So its great they reacted. 

What I think came from Demonland was for the club to email members and let them know the interview was on the website - something I haven't noticed before.  And something they didn't do for the Jones press conf.  This ensures all members will have the chance to see it.

Kudos to Simon and the club for hearing and respecting the requests of members. 

Yes, I think closure has begun.

A week too late, but better late than never.

Still I hope that they sit down in the next week and figure out how they can get into the current day and age with communication to their members.

l'm still super miffed that a "professional" club could be so poor and take so many complaints/emails from their supporters before actually acting.

CD. Whole thing took ...how long ? Ffs

Maybe get it out the way and move on.

What he says is essentially irrelevant. Its that HE DOES say something... probably more timely . THAT'S the point.

Nearly a week and a half later ??

Im sure if we here and elsewhere weren't plssed off and vocal...how long ?

Quite frankly he's lost me for the moment. He can reconvince me in 2018.

I know.. he'll lose sleep in the meantime ;)

All in all he's accomplished nothing natural progression wouldn't have.

Wow

Go Dees

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you his observations from this morning's Captain's Run including some hints at the changes for our ANZAC Eve clash against the Tigers.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
