  • 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 Thanks for Season 2018

 With tonight’s 2018 Keith “Bluey” Truscott Medal Presentation, we will be marking the end of the football season - one of our club’s best in many years.

And this is the perfect time for us to once again thank all those who have contributed to Demonland during the past season as well as all those who post here or simply visit and read without posting.

We value your contributions and ongoing support - especially to Nasher who keeps us going on the technical side, to our moderators whose task is often thankless - a task that is never easy.

Special thanks to our regular contributors, Whispering Jack, George on The Outer, The Oracle, JVM, KC from Casey, Grapeviney and Supermercado (my podcast co-presenters) and all others who have provided us with material and articles.

Let's hope that 2019 will finally be the year that we break through and experience a Grand Final and Premiership flag.

We also look forward to the another year of women's competition and hope a finals appearance there will be a prelude for later in the year.

As always, we are on the look out for new contributors who have something to say about the mighty Demons. If you have the talent or simply want something to say about the club in article form, please contact me via PM.

Cheers, thanks again and keep your eye on the red and the blue.

Goodbye 2018. It was a fun ride. Bring on 2019.

I'm sure I speak for many when I say the pleasure is all ours Andy and crew.  Demonland is an outstanding forum and getting better all the time.  That takes a huge amount of time and effort, and I can assure you that it is greatly appreciated!  Speaking personally as an interstate member, I can honestly say that Demonland is my football lifeline.  I don't know where I'd be without it.

Big thanks to the Demonland crew.

The platform you put up for us is invaluable.

Some really good solid info & opinions, some not so good and still plenty of room for a good old argument.

It's been a great season so lets all look forward to even better ahead.

Thanks Demonland

Thank you to Andy and crew for such a great website, and for season 2018. Also thank you to all the great contributors during the season. I am already looking forward to season 2019 where I hope that we end our premiership drought.

Yep - well done and kudos to all with Demonland responsibilities. My morning routine of reading the  online news, Demonland then the AFL website gets me on my way to a rather boring job.

Fantastic site. I am pleased to recommend it to any supporters I meet as it is not only a great source of information but contains some of the best humour you will find anywhere.

Professionally and tirelessly run. 

I have found it the most reliable system I have ever used. It has been a companion and vital information provider when I have been in remote and overseas locations.

When I have attended marches or been able to get a full media cover of the Demons I often struggle to keep up with Demonland but always find it worthwhile. Don't have to contribute often as it is such a transparent array of emotions.

Keep up the great work.  Happy to maintain membership of the most cost effective communication I have seen.

Thanks hugely to Andy, Nasher, Whispering and all the crew and contributors.  You are a beacon and a lighthouse, sometimes amongst all the tossing and turning insanity on the sea of life.

Other times, you are just plain bloody good comic relief.

Well done all, I love the time I spend delving into DLand.

Thanks to all involved. I especially enjoy the podcasts plus all the serious and not so serious topics that seem to make their way to the forums each week.

Keep up the good work and looking forward to 2019.

My 10th year on the site, and its been the best one so far by a long way. Thanks to Andy and crew and all the mods and people that put the hard yards in to keep the site up and running. Its easily the best fan forum of all the football websites with the best user interface, graphics and appearance. (just drop over to Bomberblitz if you need a comparison fan site).

Looking forward to a great 2019.

WWS.

    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
