    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 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.

Rollo, went to the physio today, and I'm a definite non-starter. Sorry for no reply to your last email, but I've been working just about every waking minute of the last week and a bit. I'll still be there to help out, and I can bring a camera to photograph any classic moments. My brother Dooky is doubtful. I've been bugging him, but because his better half comes back from overseas tonight or tomorrow morning, he may be tied to his bed by the old jatz crackers :P .

And I'll also bring some medical supplies if needed.

hey, mfc, I've missed your posts this time... :wub:

hey, pringle, thanks for the camera, but I don't know if you have realised that redleg has promoted you to assistant coach... :wub:

can't beat dooky's excuse, but ucanchoose comes bloody close... :rolleyes:

Apparently O'hAilpin's turning out for "Talking Carlton". (Only place he can get a game!).

Wear boxes, boys!

not true, jumping jack...

the other side are (potentially) playing an EX-CARLTON player...

and we got that news weeks ago...

they are playing their cards close to their chests, so I am intrigued as to the identity of this guy...

all will be revealed in time...

watch this space... :rolleyes:

Hey, people…

Reminder before I head off to melbourne...

Gosch’s paddock…

Melway map reference 2G E10...

TRAIN... to richmond station, walk south down punt road (city side). Walk past the collingwood training ground. If you come to boulton parade, you have gone too far...

CAR... free parking may be available at the punt road oval. If not, try the richmond side streets south and east of swan street, also a commercial car park in swan street...

WEATHER... extended forecast says showers clearing, 77% humidity, and 25 degrees...

people, it's melbourne, so bring umbrellas as well as spare jumpers and footy boots (ground is in good condition and will be wet) !!

the talkingcarlton guys have the personnel to provide a real contest and a tough game...

we really should not have won last time, our team looks slightly better than our team last time on paper, but they have some regulars back who we have not seen, especially KPPs in defence…

people, it's melbourne so bring water AND suncreen !!!

helpers... we have never had enough additional water, so don't slack off on your commitments...

players, we have as yet only two helpers committed to bringing extra water, so bring your own…

I have some additional guernseys, but bring additional jumpers if you have them for players without...

AFTER MATCH DRINKS... crickerters arms hotel, punt road...follow the crowd...

if anyone has last-minute info for the coaches (can't make it, can make it with extra players etc, I invite you to ring me on my mobile on the day 0408 698 328...

see you sunday, february 8 at 1pm (doggo, this means you !!) or thereabouts...

I have to make a HUGE apology for not turning up today... I something on this morning which went FAR longer than expected, and I lost my phone last night so wasn't able to contact anyone to let them know.

Sorry guys - hope everything went OK.

Demonland/Demonology has retained the Earl Spalding Trophy with a comfortable victory over Talking Carlton. The game was played in great spirit with some fantastic passages of play from the boys in the red and the blue.

The win makes it four wins on the trot for the mighty Dees, thanks mainly to Rollo's organisational skills and a good all round performance from the boys. It was a great feeling to sing the Grand Old Flag after the game and there's more reports and photos to come later but I must add that the joy was overshadowed when we got in the car after the game and heard the tragic news from the bushfire areas.

vin cattogio award (for best dees player) shared between doggo and dazzledavey36...

headlines:

- matthew, tassie's mate, was deservedly sent off for bad-mouthing the umpy (he did apologise)...

- dazzledavey36's long-awaited first game for us, hope it's not his last...

- the opposition had some quality players, but they were overwhelmed by our classy midfield and relentless running game...

- whispering jack and pringle did a great job with the coaching/rotating the bench role...

- thanks to jo, our only ever female player, who ran the boundary for us...

- many thanks to dee knees, who came through with bulk extra water again...

- last game, we gained funky41's group and this time we saw tassie dee's group join our list, making us a hard team to beat...

- tassie dee's group hail from demonology, giving the demonology site a slight hold on the naming rights to these inter-forum games...

congratulations and thanks to all players and helpers...

Hi all. Great win again by the mighty dees. I can't believe how good we actually are every time we take the field. There seems to be an over-abundance of really talented footballers who post both here and on demonology. Each game we have a few new players in the team, and they all just pick up from where the absentees left off. Some who have never been to watch these games might mistakenly believe the standard is not that great as these are only 'scratch matches'. But I can assure you that is NOT the case. In fact, I dare say our best team would give some amateur clubs in the VAFA a real contest (well, maybe D grade and below). Some brilliant passages of footy worthy of any standard of footy.

I have downloaded the photos and video of the team song onto this picasa web album. If it is better for people to view them directly on this thread page, then someone with the computer smarts can paste them in.

18 goals 17 behinds - count four of those behinds for me - though I still reckon a couple of those weren't touched, haha.

Great game by all of our guys and thanks again to Rollo Jack and Pringle for all their work.

Looking forward to the next game at the end of the year

    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
