  • 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.

Another budding hack journo at the Age

If one thing's for sure, the [censored]-poor attempt at humour will KEEP him employed. Or at least picking faults at EVERY opportunity will always get a hack journalist a gig...

Paul Gardiner was right when we spoke about the media in his farewell speech. THEY are the biggest joke in the modern game. Not the MFC. And the funniest thing is, EVERYONE laughs AT them... And they have no idea.

Never heard of Rod Curtis of the Age before and judging by this [censored] poor attempt at humour at the expense of the club, I doubt that we'll hear much more from him in the future. If you're looking for laughs or even a single giggle - don't look here!

Do you even care anymore SP? Seriously, this sort of garbage is par for the course when the club is down. There is nothing more certain than when a team is coughing blood onto the canvas, some [censored] will come along and kick it. Says a lot more about the [censored] than the poor bastard that is being kicked.

There are more ignorant posters around here than I'd realised.

Bagging Rod Curtis? Never heard of him?

"No I don't read the Age, it's a bit big and serious." Tools.

Learn to read or at least Google.

I'd guess that many people who read The Age haven't heard of Rod Curtis - he's not a big name there.

Furthermore, it's ironic that you're taking pot shots at people for being ignorant because they don't know about a sports reporter.

Important stuff, the sports section in the paper!

I'm just happy we're getting some exposure with this commercial (assuming it goes to air), regardless of how silly it is.

Any publicity is good publicity, or so they say.

The ad appears to be no sillier than the Totota ads so it's stupid of the journo in question to suggest that it makes the MFC some sort of a laughing stock. It does make the journo a bit of joke though.

Gee, there are some precious little snowflakes around here.

If ever a club was ripe for a pot shot or two, it's us right now. Add to that the fortuitous timing of Mr T being in town and you've got some rolled gold right there. I reckon any self-respecting journalist would be remiss if they DIDN'T have a bit of a dig at us and involve the fool-pitier himself.

God knows I would have.

And for those who are too stubborn to Google Rod Curtis, he's the night sports editor of The Age. Hardly a "budding hack journo".

Yawn. Colleague of yours no doubt.

I'm flattered that you think my prose is of sufficient quality to write for The Age. But you're not even close, snowflake.

Never said that, so save me the sob story.

Perhaps Charles Happell and Rob Curtis were separated at birth

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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
