    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 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.

Anyone know for definite if the open training session for the training camp up at Maroochydore is on the 3rd of February? 

Depends if the players want to do it on this day

Yes I think the team needs a good rest after such a telling final series.

Hold on that's right they missed finals by the smallest of margins.

Get out and [censored] the weak pea hearted bastards. 

I sense a theme, and it’s already getting tired after just two posts.

It was tired before Christmas, hardtack.  Every time something like this comes up we'll have the usual 'hilarious' comments about the cancelled camp, not going hard enough etc.

After putting us through 10 years of garbage and then finish 2017 off not only the last games performance but a player lead cancellation of a camp that focused in on mental toughness, we get the right to take little swipes like.

No it's a small taste of what will come their way this season.

I don't care about whether they did the camp or not but it showed abysmal connection between the coach and the playing group. This was another stuff up by a club that seems to move from one mini stuff up to another (need we mention the finals tickets email !!)

The players were back at training today and, clearly, everyone involved has moved on.  

You guys should do the same.  Blaming anything that occurs this year on that camp is something a 5 year old might do.  It's a reflection on much of our supporter base these days, though - they can't let go of the past and look forward.  We expect the playing group to do it, so maybe we should do the same.

We could win the GF and there’d still be the usual suspects on here complaining because we didn’t win by 10 goals.

No we wouldn't as players would be meeting our expectations.  Some supporters want us to be successful and not accept anything less others are just passive and are still accepting hype

I want the club to be successful... I just see no point in dwelling on the past. What’s done is done, so look ahead.  I don’t accept the hype at all.

let go of the past... the latest stuff up was three weeks ago......still rather current I would have thought.

The MFC needs to be held to a standard and 2017 was not a good example in so many ways.

We improved in 2017 and all expect bigger improvement in 2018. Dwelling on what has happened is nothing but unproductive.

The 'hype' is the negative media believers who have no inner knowledge of the club and don't go to training but accept whatever rubbish the media whip up as being a true reflection of where the club is at.

If you seriously think that any Melbourne supporter doesn't want the club to be successful, or that the players aren't aware of what's required by the FD, god help you.

Players, coaches, staff etc all seemed to have moved on.  Bigger fish to fry.

We ALL want success for this club, but what does holding on to a meaningless camp do for that success?  Nothing.

No I think a every supporter wants and hopes the club is successful but there is as difference from wanting to expecting.  The mindset of good clubs is they expect to be successful and not hope

    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,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n
