  • 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.

You don't have to comment, and if you come accross a topic like that again. Simple. Don't read it.

I think the same rationale can be applied to the Footy Show itself.

Very Good. :lol:

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that as Y_M takes leave, Sam Newman reappears. :blink:

Is this a Clarke Kent - Superman scenario...is Yze Magic really Sam Newman? :huh:

Or is it just that this town's not big enough for the both of them. :mellow:

I'm glad Sam is back, I like him, Billy has been great though.

"Who Cares" from me also.....I watch the show but not for Sam. I think Bill Brownless did/does a great job. I watch the first hour.... when most of the footy highlights are done. I like Hutchy's segment but not Hutchy himself. He seems to get all the goss. Didn't miss Sam over the last couple of weeks.... be very interesting to see how he carries on (!!!) on tonight.

True Believer, good post, what are the odd's he brings out the mannequin again? By the way for such a good post thats a far stretch from also posting "Who Cares"?

Sooner he's back the better.

The sooner those who don't want to watch him or the footy show realise that they can change channels - the better too.

It amazes me the amount of people who say that they hate him and the footy show, but still watch it!

Agree MrMoose, friends and family of mine tell me time and time again they can't stand sam Newman and the Footy Show, yet they still watch it. Why? Because its entertainment.

Despite what people think about Sam, the Footy Show needs him.

People forget that what Sam's been doing this year has been happening for the show's entirety. It seems to be that non-watchers who heard about the mannequin skit have attacked him.

Billy was good, but Sam's better. Besides which, his return should bring back Street Talk.

I never said I disliked the footy show....love segments of it....it's personalities that I dislike... eg Sam and Hutchy .... Love Hutchy's work but not Hutchy.

That whole saga was the biggest overreaction that I've ever seen in my life. If all of the feminists had a problem with what he did then they should have complained about it immediately after it happened instead of waiting a month. If they weren't watching it when it happened then they most likely wasn't the target audience for it and therefore it doesn't affect them. I'm not saying that what Sam did was right, but still a mountain was made out of a molehill with regards to it all.

Sam's great. Finally someone on TV who isn't afraid to speak his mind even with some people in this overly politically-correct country constantly on his back.

I get where you're coming from to an extent, but your assertion re: not impacting on anyone that isn't watching is incorrect.

Edit: That's not to say Newman's actions did - or didn't - have an impact on women in the game etc (and lets not go there, it's been done to death already).

Tonight has shown exactly what happens with sam, the skit with him accending as the devil was clever as it took the [censored] out of himself. But what he did to Hutchy, who btw i don't really, with drawing on him is just ridiculous and was humiliating.

I like Sam 75% of the time, but that other 25% he just a thick-headed bully. Without Eddie he has lost the plot and has no control. I can't believe i'm saying this, but i enjoyed it more having Billy as the "funny man".

Calabreseboy, what do you mean by 'political correctness'? The way it struck me was that it means that you don't go around deliberately being offensive, particularly to weaker or marginalised groups. How do you understand the term, cause it strikes me that a lot of people think that it means you cannot say anything about anything?

PC is the worst amount of bollocks I have ever heard, I mean why is it called "Political"? It's not like politicians are model citizens, and besides whose politics are we using?

If it's funny I'll laugh and I think nearly everything should be available to comedy, i.e I laugh at stuff that I'm sure would be labeled a racist or sexist joke even though I'm not, i still find it funny.

Maybe I'm just a twisted person.

    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

    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,
