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.

Learn to kick straight Bugg

then go wild on socmed

From Hsun

 

"It might be hard to believe but Tom Bugg is the most popular man in the Melbourne forward 50. 

Since Round 9, Bugg has been a forward target 19 times, the most of any Melbourne player. 

However, he has some work to do on his finishing. 

In that time his 13 shots at goal have yielded just four majors. 

The small forward even booted seven behinds in a row across rounds nine and 10. 

However, under the “era of Bugg” the Demons are 3-1 and have moved to fifth on the ladder, so something is clearly working. "

The goals from Watts, Garlett, tmac ,hannan is why we are kicking winning scores

Missed  costly set shot goals vs freo either side of 3/4 time

I would love to see the [censored] scumbags who tag REAL art like this smashed around the head with a cricket bat.

Nobody gives AF about your stupid tags, but even non-art lovers can appreciate quality work. 

Start spray painting your back fence and leave real art alone.

I've had a few people comment lately about our "unsociable" play and how they don't like us as much any more.

I told them all I'd rather we were hated than pitied. 

One of my wife's favorite sayings "we're not here to be liked". She's always played in the defense in Netball.

Yep, saw the tags in the video the MFC posted and felt a true sense of shame. It must be a kick in the teeth for the real graffiti artists to have their work tainted like that.

Said the world 'real' three times in a two sentence post, it stopped sounding like a real word. Oops, there I go again...

It's really "street art" rather than "graffiti". Graffiti tends to be used for words, scribbles, tags and other generally annoying crap.

A number of years ago I knew a talented artist, who referred to his work as "graffiti" and absolutely detested the fact that the word had been hijacked by taggers and defacers. That's why I refer to it as graffiti- although maybe I need to update my vocabulary in this case.

No better than dogs pissing on poles. Absolutely no value to it at all!

graffiti (n.) Look up graffiti at Dictionary.com
1851, "ancient wall inscriptions found in the ruins of Pompeii," from Italian graffiti, plural of graffito "a scribbling," a diminutive formation from graffio "a scratch or scribble," from graffiare "to scribble," ultimately from Greek graphein "to scratch, draw, write" (see -graphy). They are found in many ancient places, but the habit was especially popular among the Romans. Sense extended 1877 to recently made crude drawings and scribbling in public places.

A bit OTT ding.

I'm not a great fan of tags, but its all part of the diversity of street art, some good, some not so much (which btw doesn't mean i condone all tagging). Street artists know the temporary nature of their work, to be covered by others of all graffiti persuasions. Rather a tag than the council remove or paint over it, which doesn't happen in Hozier Lane any more but used to regularly. Tags of various styles have a long history in cities around the world, most notably in the US. Most "non art lovers" saw all street art in Melbourne as vandalism before the turn of the millennium. Tastes change.

lol a few squiggles and symbols spray painted in a single colour over the top of an obvious work of art doesnt do anything other than ruin the original.

These idiots would spray their stupid tags over the Mona Lisa if they had the chance. Crickets bats for all of 'em i say.

I'm a graffiti artist myself, and I only do legal murals (these days haha).

Hosier lane is a public space, and whether you like it or not, people have every right to go over each others work with whatever they like. It sucks, don't get me wrong, but them's the breaks with public spaces like this. Ask any graffiti writer, there is never an expectation that your work will remain up or untouched for any given period on a public wall. You finish, get your photo's, and expect it to be gone or destroyed the next day.

Graffiti comes in many forms, and whilst the public may only appreciate it in forms like this, murals like this have been inspired over time by more basic forms of graffiti, such as tagging.

If I lived in Melbourne I would go down there with paint and fix it myself. I'm hoping someone else does, if not lush himself!

    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
