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.


Demonland Podcast will return for the Draft

Just sitting down to listen to it now...

Not sure how productive I'm going to be with this level of multi-tasking. I have the headphones in so at least it looks like I'm working.

Great initiative, btw.

Thanks for listening. Any feedback is welcomed.

Great work guys.  A brilliant addition to Demonland, and I'm very much looking forward to future episodes.  Thank you very much!!

@Grapeviney I think Goody was listening to you last night.

from: http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2017-03-30/gawn-hogan-given-all-clear-to-play

Quote

The Dees dropped a game they were expected to win last year against Carlton in round 22 that all but ended their finals hopes. Goodwin said the group hadn't addressed last year's defeat in preparation for Sunday.

"The history for us is irrelevant. We want to create our own journey and our own pathway forward. Our challenge is to play the brand of footy we want to, every week," he said.

Just had a listen myself. Well done guys.

My one other comment would be related to duration. Having co-hosted a film podcast for years, I'd look at trying to tighten the runtime to between 45 mins-60 mins.

Just listened to it.

That was most definitely not Uncle Bitter, as his real voice is so unbelievably high pitched that shopkeepers board up their windows upon his approach. It is possible he used his missus to do the talking, as I believe them to be complimentary opposites, er, of sorts.

Liked the show guys. Looking forward to seeing it grow over the next few months.

Can we search out Dee-luded for a phone in?

I'm going to disagree with you there .As is my want.

A good podcast can go for 5 hours because the conversation is interesting

But if they must resort to Uncle Bitters as some kind of decrepit content then the barrel is clearly well scraped.

As is your want indeed, Biffboy. 

I'd say it's always better to leave the audience wanting more, rather than the alternative.

This may be the greatest idea in the history of Land.

With Uncle Bitter's radio debut now in the books, I look forward to:

Saty making a cameo and taking fellow Landers to task for not loving the club enough.

A half baked Biffen calling from the Gatwick just as he is about to be evicted prior to the buyout. (Correction: Just listened to the podcast, Biff has been thrown out of the Gat).

A Stuie vs. BBO debate in which Stuie gets to ride all of his hobby horses in the space of a 20 minute timeframe.

Enyaw finally surfacing and revealing that he is actually a learned and erudite man of letters and the fine arts.

Special Robert live from beneath the Southbank Bridge.

Too much gold to be mined, not enough time.

Strangely I agree with both of these statements. Sure we could tighten things up but our aim with the podcast is to discuss the previous game, discuss the next game and any other topics/issues from the Demons/Demonland world. Some weeks will obviously need more time than others depending on the match and the issues of the day/week.

I want to do the show live so that we can include the Demonland community and open the phone lines up to everyone here. As a result episode length will vary and if we've got things to talk about then we'll keep on going. If I can see we've run out of steam I won't just keep going and I'll end it.

We're still finding our feet and we'll get into a rhythm and format that works.

Also just a reminder that we'll be live again on Wednesday night @ 8:30pm taking your calls.

No doubt there will be a lot to talk about including the Blues game, the MRP verdicts & the upcoming Cats game.

Let us know if there is anything else you want us to talk about.

i reckon in addition to asking people to call in for a general chat about the games (who should be brought in, what happened last week etc etc), specific questions could work well. For example: 'a favourite memory from a live dees match', 'who is your favorite defender'etc etc. All demonlanders will have an answer to those sort of questions and i think other listeners are likely to be interested in their spiel.

Another idea is a demon themed quiz? Works for coodabeens.

As for length i also reckon 45 minutes to an hour is the go

5 worst on ground from previous game

Mark of the day

Courageous act of the day

Selection thoughts for upcoming round

Injury updates - rehab group, i.e. starting to join main group, etc.

AFL talking points of the week

Suspended posters updates :)

I haven't listened, so I'm not sure if those types of issues are relevant.

Yeah I think we'll probably ask callers some general stuff like that. Perhaps their becoming a Demon origin story. The story behind their Username or Avatar.

As to the length; when we finished the show the other night both grapeviney and I said that we could have kept talking about the Dees all night. It's going to be a problem getting us to shut up about the Dees. We're addicts.

Thanks everyone for listening. We peaked at 31 listeners tonight.

Thanks to Special Robert (and Squirrel) and BBO for calling in.

Don' mention it...delighted to speak to you and we will be calling again next week. I'll make sure Squirrel has his medication next week as he was over excited.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    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
