    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.

Depends on the deal we get. I am an MCC/MFC Member, so i was expecting to sit in my reguliar place. Level 2 on the wing.

The deal is not set in stone yet, we need some good melbourne attendances in the next few weeks at the MCG to voice our disapproval.

Have to say something good will have to happen for me to go. If its at the 'G' i'll be there but if its not i want.

So will you go if its at Etihad?

Yes. I'm there for the team & more importantly OUR club!!!!

You might want to edit this (opening post) for a poll? So you can see the divide on one post.

Why would people not go??? The game is 5 mins from the G and we get to see our side playing in Melbourne.

Some wonder why we are called fair weather folk when people would even question turning up to support your team because it is just down the road from our home ground. Insanity...

It is not a matter of just buyinf a membership and some merch we need to actually turn up to games and watch the side ffs.

Yes, will be there regardless.

Sure, we would all prefer the game to be played at the G. I enjoy sitting with all the other Redlegs on level 2 of the Southern for home games. But I don't understand all the sooks who wont take a short trip down the road to support the team no matter what stadium theyre playing at or wherever their precious reserved seat sits them at the Docklands.

Come on people. Let's get serious.

I have no problem going there but i don't see why we should be pushed off OUR home ground for two clubs that don't even call the MCG home

They should have to pay us to use our home ground and to have us relocated.

That is why i do not want to go to Etihad Airlines Stadium. We are being kicked off our patch. It will cost more money (food Drinks etc) & that money goes to Faceless Shareholders.

Its not that its just down the road. Its the money distribution. I Hate that Ground & it is entirely the AFL's Fault (wayne Jackson)

I will go but I want to know where I get to sit. I have a reserved seat at the G so I better not be thrown into general admin at Docklands.

We will all go, Jack Watts will debut in this game, well if the club is smart they will debut him in this game. It will create interest in the game and for any Melbourne support they will want to watch his first game.

I'm pretty sure he's already played at Wembley.

I hope WYL that we see Jack even sooner then that.

And yes, of course I will still go.

Charlie Watts first played "The G" in '95 and i am sure his young namesake will be just as exciting in his own craft.

Interesting to hear what the club thinks about this potential venue shift.

But don't you think a better way to show the AFL is to have as many supporters as possible at the ground? Not showing up just confirms the AFL's view of us.

Depends upon the compensation deal I guess, it would make the difference between a forced but polite smile and an intense grimace masquerading as a smile.

I'll go where ever it is. Not turning up just because it's not at the MCG is stereotypical fair weather supporting and it's why some of us who go week in, week out get labelled fair weather supporters. Who gives a [censored] where the game is. Get out there and support them. I'd rather play at the 'G, of course, but suck it in.

We can protest as much as we like, but if we do have to play at the Dome why wouldn't you come and support the team for a game in Melbourne?

I know I don't like the Dome anywhere near as much as the MCG, but why abandon the team if we do have to play there. I don't think a poll is necessary.

dome, stadium, g, optus, casey - not really fussed. If the dees are playing then I am there.

for people who complain about the stadium and paying more the entire reason the AFL push us around is because of fickle supporters like you. If our team is playing get out there and support no matter what. Only people you hurt by not attending are your own !

    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
