  • 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.

Hey all,

We're just wanting to gather a little information as to how you came across this website. If you could please vote in the above poll, and perhaps give us a little explanation.

I discovered Demonology after they got a mention on the Footy Show in 2003 and heard about Demonland through that site shortly after. Since then I've been an active member of both sites. I've considered Demonland to be "home" ever since I set up the new forum in late '05 and became part of the team after hearing the lads were unhappy with their existing setup.

Edit: As an extension, I've also added another couple of questions to gauge some of our demographics. Cheers.

Edit2: If you voted in the poll before I added the extra options but want to vote in the gender and age polls, send me a PM with your age and gender and I'll add the votes in manually.

Well to be completely honest, I dont remember. I think I was searching for some info on the club and Demonland came up.

So the little spiders were doing their job :-)

I voted: Another footy site, but it's a two-fold story.

I used to read Bigfooty, and the place disgusted me.

I then heard about Demonland through a friend who posted both on Bigfooty and here (old forum), and the rest is history.

I've been reading/posting/moderating this site for what feels like a lifetime.

Thank god we lost our post count when we moved to the new setup, or I would probably be up to about 20,000 posts by now! :o

I voted in the poll, but for what it's worth -

I read an article in one of the Melbourne dailies - perhaps The Age online iirc - and it mentioned Demonland and Demonology.

I thought I'd check them out and I've been lurking - and posting - fairly regularly since.

just wondering if you want to know our age now, or the age when we discovered demonland, because our age now would be more relevant, but the age at which we discovered demonland is more relevant to the question of 'how did we discover demonland'.

It's refering to your age now.

We've done this sort of poll before, but the results will be very different now.

For one, there is already 2 females posting here. That's one more than last time! <_< :lol:

Long time lurker on sites that talk about the mighty dees.

Read about it on bigfooty many moons ago (don't go there anymore... I get too angry)

I generally dont post much (also causes me to get angry).

Sadly not female (sadly for the poll's sake, personally i am quite happy)

To tell you the truth I can't remember exactly how I came to know about the site. I think it was through an internet search. Because I live in the west we don't get a lot of Demon coverage in the local media so I was forced to find a forum like this to satisfy my cravings for Demon related news/opinions.

I'm not one to haunt other teams forums, but it seems like there is some passionate divides between us Demon fans on issues such as the coach and the players (ie. Bruce, Green, Miller, Danners). Are all clubs supporters like us, passionate but divided (in opinion I mean?)

7 females!

When did this happen? :o

Seroiusly, who knew there were so many of us in here :lol: ?!!!

I signed up because being in Sydney there is nothing written about, or talked about in regards to the Demons in the press.

So I went to find somewhere I could get a hold of Melbourne news and views and, well, here we are......

And just the record leucopogon, I think you will find all footy fan sites have particular divisions over certain players and the coach :rolleyes::) !!!

    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

    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,
