  • 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.

So you want Richmond , Collingwood, Carlton and Essendon all regularly playing finals together.

If we are in there in the finals - I dont care who we play or where we play them, I dont care what we wear. 

If I had a choice out of but of course I understand we dont get a choice

a/  Richmond , Collingwood, Carlton and Essendon and playing at the MCG

or 

b/ Adelaide, Port, West coast or Sydney and playing interstate

Its a no brainer I'm going for A every time, but ( note that word but) if we are told by the AFL we have to play a team on the B list - not a problem, I will take the good with the bad - no complaints from me. 

If we dont make the finals - I could not give a rats clacker who plays who where. 

Just to make it even clearer idiots like Bartlett ( and his fanboys) would find something to complain about even if their team made a grand-final. Then if they won they would start complaining they didnt win by enough. 

Myself on the other hand - if we made a grand final and we won by 1 point - I would be over the moon and no complaints from me.

Same as the fixture, same as the venue, same as the time, same as what you wear - I'm happy to take what the AFL gives us the AFL has 17 other teams to try and keep happy - hell thats no easy task. 

Go Dees

I'd say we had a few injuries to key players last year as well . . . AND . . . moved up the ladder.

This seems like an 'I'm still annoyed about them trading Watts' type of comment from the Ox.  It's strange.  He says we'll go south if we get injuries to Hogan, Weideman and Lever - any side that lose

It's somehow comforting, in a weird kind of a way, to see that MFCSS extends beyond the firewall of Demonland. If nothing else, this does prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Ox IS one of us!

Oh - I should make it clearer. 

If an AFL umpire makes a decision - and the player on the mark screams and shouts at the umpire and we get a 50m penalty against us - I would instantly drag the player, irrespective if I agree with the umpire or if I dont. Then I would in-struck my player - if the umpire makes a decision just get on with it no complaints. 

A culture is built both on and off the field.

You want the culture to be bending over and letting the AFL have its way whenever it sees fit.

Is that when you strike a player from within - like Neo blasting open Agent Smith in The Matrix?!

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
