  • 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.

I love the guy. Anyone know who he is?

haha yeah what a legend, its such a good tradition, shame we can't win more often to let him play, it was funny at the carlton game, maybe they knew we weren't gonna win so they made him play before the game haha!

oh and NO, i don't know who he is... :huh:

I had moved to the Telstra Dome by the end of the Melbourne game to watch my kid play at half time, but I was listening to the game on TripleM. The trumpeter started up with about 1 minute to go. The commentators made reference to it and you could even hear it in the background.

Why didn't he play on Sunday? It was our home game. I missed him.

he did play... before the game... and with about 40 seconds to go in the game, he declared victory and started up again... he was on the half forward flank near the MCC and where the melbourne members reserve seating is...

if you watch the reply you can hear the crowd clapping in tune to him...

but to be honest, it concerned me a bit, it was like it almost distracted the players, because freo went forward as he started...

Heard him and what a fantastic effort by the unsung hero. Would gladly like to hear the bugle belt that number out when we are assured of a win.

Great stuff and hopefully unique to MFC supporters.

I would love it if we could belt Collingwood easily and he starts up at the 15 minute mark of the last quarter and plays through to the final siren. It would make a nicer serenade for the backs of the black and white filth lurching up the ramp home.

Hey this could be our motivation for the Collingwood game... can someone get the message to the boys, get the trumpeter playing at the 15 minute mark of the final qtr on Queens Birthday!

It's what I'm dreaming of already :lol:

The moron started early and everyone was screaming at him to shutup, the [censored] couldn't wait for the attention and as soon as he started playing Freo went forward and should have kicked one. I'd like him alot more if he'd start playing when we'd actually f**king won.

I thought it was premature as well, even though I knew he only does it when 30 seconds is left.

Still worried me.

He sits front row of the MCC, 2nd level, always in a red jacket.

It's a good thing, hopefully it becomes a famous tradition like Joffas golden jacket.

I hear what you're saying, but hey we earned some bragging rights on Sunday!

I think maybe there's a bit of a culture around Melbourne that's too cautious, conservative. We might do better to take a few more risks, throw caution to the winds. I was rapt with the noise and enthusiasm from the supporters on Sunday. The ump's wouldn't have dared to pay a 50-50 holding the ball against us in that last qtr.

So if he wants to play when we've got it won, good on him I think. Maybe after the initial shock, the players might actually use the extra emotion and enthusiasm of the crowd as the trumpet plays in the dying moments to feed off it, boot one more just to get an even bigger roar!

I hope he becomes bigger than that goose Joffa too... :D

    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

If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to
