  • 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.

Travelling over next week for the game vs PA

I’ll be there, over from Perf. At this stage I might snag myself a full blown drinks package and canapés in some corporate wankfest according to my work colleague.

If that doesn’t come thru, I’ll be in the same boat.

British Hotel, Finniss St, North Adelaide, good public bar and nice restaurant at the back. Upmarket. Good staff and pleasant patrons. Not the sort of place for a fight. Not the sort of place for Port Fans more the Crows type. You will be safe!  More likely to have a philosophical discussion with a retired academic from Adelaide Uni or pick up a middle aged lady from Unley.

Or in town, the Belgian Beer Cafe just off Rundle Street. Recommend it. Great Beer on tap, local and Belgian and good pub food. The mussels are superb with frites.

Just on Adelaide, for anyone on Instagram that isn't giving @shitadelaide a follow I highly recommend it.

Some comedy gold generated from those guys.

Good recommendation, but I like the Casino bars, still just the other side of the walkway across the Torrens River from the Adel Oval; their back bars (outdoor balcony) overlooking the river is pretty cool and the casino food is relatively cheap plus a great choice of snobby tucker all the way down to pizza and hot dogs - but these are internal yet you do not have to be a player to eat there. Cheap booze and a full beer range at the back bar (as mentioned) and it is a first-floor aspect like a beer garden. Someone once said it is pretty at night! My summation is that it is far Ken Awright.

How to get there: Front of casino is next the the main railway station in Adelaide, on North Terrace, across a little walkway from the SA Parliament House. Walk through the casino heading north to the back bar, cannot miss it. You will be looking at the river, the rear of the Arts Centre just on the right, with the Adel Oval just across that River by a great walkway. Have fun.

You could embark on a Simon Goodwin tribute bar crawl as a pre-match warm-up, kicking off at the Ramsgate Hotel in Henley Beach before heading to Raglans in the city (via the casino).  

Add in a post game Powell-Peppering drinking session along Hindley st (keeping ones hands to ones self) and it’s a complete night out.

    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,
