  • 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.

Great DB press conference

Mac user? If so, you should know that Bigpond thinks all Mac users are the devil. I haven't been able to watch a Bigpond video online for about 2 years.

You just need to download Flip4mac off the apple website. Its free.

I already had it and bigpond video hasn't been working for me the last few days, so i downloaded the newer version & it works a treat now. Got on it.

Is he saying farewell to the Tiges? Who knows? it's up to you!

"FFS, someone give Brucey a watch! In fact, Brucey wait until you get our directions from the bench - as to when we play TEMPO, don't take it upon yourself!! Did you have any idea as to what time of the quarter it was?"

To all you Bailey lovers out there listen to him and don't get ahead yourselves. We had a very good win but we played a very poor Richmond. If he can stop us from constantly getting belted then he has done his job for the year but he hasn't done it yet we still only have a % of 63 remember that when St.Kilda won only 2 games winning the spoon they still had a % of 70 that is the minimum he should get us to if we continue to play like we did on sunday I shouldn't have a problem with him.

Bigc, listen to our President when he says we probably won't have many wins this year, so we should enjoy it while it lasts.

It could be a long time between drinks, so for 7 days I'm going to enjoy it and so should all in Red and Blue.

I'm am enjoying it and I'm not worried about wins and losses I'm worried about how we lose so when a Bailey wankfest pops up I'm not going to agree with it until he starts getting the results that I'm after.

Our % is 70 I don't know where I pulled 63 from.

Dean Bailey's Press Conference is well worth watching....

He cops his fair amount of $hit from a few of the clubs supporters, but he is so down to earth it isn't funny (hence why he's not overly funny himself :P )

Honest, To the point and realises where the club is currently at and where they want to end up....

When asked why he did not join the team after the match to sing the song he replied "The game is about the players. What do I do?? They are the ones who train for six months, they are the ones who lift the weights, so it is only fair that they celebrate together. It is just great to sit back and watch them celebrate a win after working so hard for so long. But let's not get ahead of ourselves"

Dean Bailey may not be the man that coaches our next premiership side.... But he will have had a massive input in the lead up!!

Go Dees!

Great insightful press conference.

The only thing that bugs me a little is his use of the word "COMPETITIVE". I can understand answering questions using this word after a 100pt thrashing as to not be drawn ala haves into player/club bashing answers, but when describing the second quater he called it a "competitive effort".

He must have been watching a different game as i thought we wiped the floor with the insipid tigers in the 2nd? Maybe a phase "our attack on the ball was excellent"..... something like that would have been a bit better.

So lets all come up with a better response for DB next time he is asked....

What do you think of the dees 2nd term?

DB response - Well its hard to judge as we were only playing the Yr10 girls team from MSC......... Actually I apologies for making the yr10 MSC team seem so bad as I'm sure they are better then terrys list! :lol:

    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,

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. 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.
