  • 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.

Stephen, 27 years and live in Eastern suburbs & getting married (to a St. Kilda supporter) in November which is exciting.

Work with Department of Justice in the Magistrates' Court and been a Melbourne supporter for my whole life apart from a brief 6 season stint from 1992 - 1997 when my Grandad brainwashed me into going for Carlton sorry to all, but I eventually saw the light.

Been a member every year since 2001 and am really excited about the direction the club is heading.

Favourite memory was the 98 finals series when Melbourne smashed Adelaide & St. Kidal the previous years Grand Finalists.

Favourite Players: Rivers, Grimes, Jurrah

Hey,

Just joined up. I'm 24, been supporting the Dees ever since I was born. Family tradition. Been a member the last 4 years straight, though my dad had me signed up all the way till I was 18 and then got lazy for a couple years to do myself. I'm a very committed supporter, and play football passionately ever since I was 8yrs old (Eastern Football League, and currently playing in Southern Football League). I'm also involved in athletics. I try to go to as many Melbourne games as possible, although Saturday's got me out as I play footy myself then.

My most memorable games I've attended are Melb v Carlton qtr Final in 1999 & the big comeback against fremantle couple years ago.

Sylvia is my fav player as I like the way he goes in hard.

Cheers

Over 60 Dees tragic who after lurking these pages for a long time signed up to join the chorus after Thursday's woe. I hope someone from the club reads these threads and realizes it is hard to keep coughing up the membership when people ask who you support and it takes a full phrase to reply : long suffering demon supporter.

Hi I'm Dan

I like martial arts, cross stitch, long walks on the beach and cruising the local discoteque.

I'm sure you're pleased to meet me.

Hi there. My name is Chrissie and I am a music photographer. I have been lurking on this board for a little while and only recently starting posting. I started following Melbourne in 1994 as I was dating a Melbourne supporter. I'm a pretty passionate Dees supporter. I go to the games every week with a few other Melbourne supporters. I sit in the Melbourne reserved area. I am also very optimistic and I think we will see a flag in the next 5 years. I'm single. I'd like to meet fellow Melbourne supporters.

Can you chew gum and walk at the same time ?

Sorry - forgive my hyper bowl.

Hi I'm Robbie

I don't believe you, no one could love (or even like) Julia.

As for Carbon Dioxide Bob, you and Julia expel more than any factory or power plant, so can we tax you both out of existence?

Ask Malcolm Turnbull- the next Liberal leader .

Nah, he has zero chance of leading the Libs, Jackster. The only people that like him are left leaning Labor flogs. Last time Turnbull was the leader Labor led the two party preferred vote 54-46. Without him as leader the polls are the complete reverse, which isn't a great endorsement for Turnbull.

Get my drift ?

Hey there fellow demonlanders my name is Dajana- or Dianne in English. My friends call me Dee, it is quite fitting as I love the Dees so.

Came over to Australia from Croatia with my old man at the tender age of 2- so I'm dinky die Aussie! Follow the Demons because Melbourne is the city we settled in.

I am 5'11, lanky and a dead ringer for Rosie Huntington, I am a total klutz and one of the biggest social retards you'll will ever hope to meet (hence my presence here). I would describe myself a tom boy (had no female influences as my mother left after I was born) I speak my mind and I find it hard to trust people.

Waiting for our next flag I am very optimistic. Hoping for it to come soon so I have a legitimate excuse to get a tattoo. Oh and the glory that comes with being number one and hopefully shaking that range rover snow [censored] tag would be nice too! :)

G'day guys, I post a fair bit on BigFooty but am in an exams period and found the temptation to stray from Demons talk too hard to resist. The board there, aside from the Dees board, is obviously rubbish - so I'm looking forward to contributing here until my final exam and beyond!

I was born supporting the Mighty Blue and Red although the team was West Perth and not Melbourne.

Was a WCE support up until 1999 when I turned to the light and became a Dees supporter due to my hatred of the host club system in the WAFL which cost West Perth a Flag.

Became a member of the MFC last year due to my frustration with its lack of on field success but wanted to show my support to the Club.

Joined Demonland after the lost to the Suns this year as I wanted major change in the Club from the Senior Coach to Board Members. Things are looking really good on that front for the 2014 season as finally we are recruiting people who can do the job that is needed.

I live in country WA so don't know too many other Demon supporters and can not wait for the Clubs 13th Flag.

Go the Dees!

Morning all,

Just signed up this morning after abandoning the sinking ship of Demonology. Don't hold that against me though, I was never one for the in-jokes and in-fighting that plagued that site.

33, teacher and a dad.

In Roos We Trust.

Welcome aboard tbf, not the same level of personal insult here that there was there. Surprised it took you so long.

G'day all. I've posted a couple of times but I thought I better say a quick Hello. I'm an iinterstate member currently residing in S.A., but grew up in NSW. Being from NSW, I spent the early years of my life following the neanderthal game, until one day in 2002 I went to see Nth Melbourne play the Crows at a match in Canberra.From that day onwards I fell in love with AFL. Didn't want to blindly follow my Crow supporting mates,and being the massive horror fan I am, thought the Demons were a natural fit. For the next few years I guess I was a casual observer, until a match in early 2006 when we played the Crows, and my passion found a spark.I started watching more and more games on TV and as time went on I decided that I wanted to help the club in any way,shape or form and figured the best way for me to do that was to become a member. Since then have floated around the edges of the various Facebook groups and Twitter,and that has now led me here. Look forward to chatting to you all (even if I don't post a real lot).

well ive finally made an account.
I used to have one 4 years ago, lost the account (laziness) and just been reading religiously since.

I live in Ballarat, age 21, I'm overly competitive and enjoy squash.

Parents do not follow footy (or any sport at all really) so i started supporting them a little later. I picked a side at the start of the 2000 final and never looked away from the dee's.

I look forward to posting regularly.

Welcome back Hompy.

Nothing like a bit of aggression on the squash court.

Must say I haven't played that game for years.

nothing like running into walls for the sake of winning.

I only play with my friends at the local university. No supervision either, so we don't play with any protection (oh the bruises).

Things can change quickly...

You're now 30, 2 of your 3 favourite players are gone, and you were "really excited about the direction the club is heading". It headed for the kind of disaster rarely seen in sport.

But who can blame you ? Most are optimists at heart.

I am I missing something here Ben? What made you resurrect this post from 2010? ( that is apart from the obvious contradiction that I've " been a Melbourne supporter for my whole life apart from a brief 6 season stint from 1992 - 1997" ?

There are mysteries here,I'll have to get onto these forums more often.

    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

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    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
