    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.


Demonlanders help purchase Liam's debut guernsey...


the fork

Recommended Posts

It's great to see these donations rolling in. Mt Theo have been swept up in the excitement, I reckon we’ve got a few new members on the way!

Keep it coming in, it’s not too late to get involved, excess monies could even go towards ensuring the proper representatives from Yuendumu and Mt Theo are able to attend the jumper presentation.

Imagine how proud Liam is going to be to have some family attend such an event!

C’mon Dees!

I vote that it should be Fork representing Demonland. This is a simple decision really. If he can't unfortunately attend I would hope one of the original longtime members of Demonland would attend in his place.

I'd love to attend the function with everyone else. Sounds like it will be a great night. But I will be out of state that week, and to be honest, I don't think I could afford the $90 at the moment. I gave what I could afford to 'the Jurrah cause' which I was more than happy to do.

I am hoping that there will be someone with a video camera attending so that the presentation of the guernsey can be posted on the MFC website or Youtube.

Would be fantastic to get as many Demonlanders/Demonologists as possible to this event.

Looks like a really interesting, affordable, and worthwhile one.

I think it'll probably be the one function I can attend this year too!

A girlfriend(another Dees supporter) and I will be there. Hopefully I can ring in a few more Dewomen as opposed to Dem"ens"> I hope all you men who now know the sex of some of the forum chatters will still respect our female opinions. I was loathe to reveal my "femine status" as I didn't think that most of you men would think that we would have football knowledge let alone an opinion. I am sure I will be pleasantly surprised.

Increased my contribution to $50. DN123014.

I definately think Fork should be the one to handover the guernsey to Susie at the Presidents Lunch.

Again, great work everybody.

What about Jimmy handing & thanking to Fork, handing to Susie. The 3 of them in shot, highlites that our supporterbase is warm & generous & not sucking plums @ the snow.

I think I speak for everyone on the forum when I say that you have nothing to worry about in this regard!

The simple fact that no one can tell who anyone's gender is on the forum (unless it is expressed) should put this to bed - even disregarding the simple fact that footy opinion and knowledge has nothing to do with gender. Of course, with roughly 50% of fans being female, their opinion should be respected just as much as any bloke (who generally just speak crap anyway).

It should be Fork to do the handover. With all due respect to Jimmy - he isn't the person responsible for organising this. It is the great work of Fork that instigated this and then the support of Demonlanders and Demonology members in conjunction with the great people of Mt Theo - the club has had nothing to do with it (except make a profit) so I don't think Jimmy should be the one to do it.

That's just my two cents worth.

I want to be president or number one ticket holder of Fork's fanclub!

Well said mate, ('deesrock') I'm with you. But a win/win would be good.

Honestly, I am really happy with my contribution and want to share this experience with you mob.

Lets nominate someone most deserving, jaded is a good option.

While I would love to do it, and feel honored to be mentioned, I'm actually going to be interstate (plus I can't afford the price of admission ;)). Besides, I can think of other more deserving individuals who have been involved with this club for longer than I have been alive.

I know Judee was really helpful to me when I organised a Sportsman's Night for the Tsunami fundraiser. She is also always involved with membership drives and gives a lot of her time to our beloved club. I would like to point out that other than my dealings with her via the Tsunami f/r, I don't know her at all so there is no bias here.

I don't know Judee (other than meeting her at the above fundraiser) so I don't know if she would be comfortable with this or not.

My vote is for Luke.

Einstein, being an indigenous member of the club would you be interested?

Thanks for the thought 45, but no, I will be out of state during the week of the function.

Plus I don't think I would feel comfortable taking the spotlight. I feel there are more deserving members of Demonland who have done alot of good work both here and for the club over the years. I'd like to see them receive some recognition for their efforts.

I think everything possible should be done to get Luke down for the night.

Ah, my next vote was for you!

I'd definitely like to see Luke involved and, though he's a Pies man. I'd love to see Rudeboy involved and congratulated on all his help - I think that would underscore the beauty of this whole story.

Perhaps WJ?

Yeah, I think I'd vote for Rudeboy next, if Luke can't make it. Rudeboy has been incredibly important in Liam's transition to the big smoke. He is a Pies man, but I think I am correct in saying that he is also a Melbourne member now. I might be wrong on that. But yeah, I think Rudeboy would be a great substitute if Luke can't attend. He gets my number 2 vote.

If not Rudeboy, then maybe one of the longtime female members of Demonland. That'd be great to see also.

I'm sorry for my late involvement in this , but is it too late to suggest that I will frame it free of charge - it is afterall part of my business as a picture framer / gallery owner that I regularly frame sporting memorabilia .

If the jumper is left at either my Malvern or Fountain Gate stores , I can have it framed , with a plaque denoting the relevant information included , within a week .

Please advise ASAP if I can be of help .

I am a Dees member, and would be honored to be involved in some way, but I honestly think one of the long serving Demonland members are more deserving. I'd be happy to just be there and take a photo of the presentation.

Thanks Joeboy, very generous, I'll get back to you. Cheers.

Obviously Luke would be option 1, but if he can't do it for whatever reason, Judee should certainly be the nomination for Demonology.

In terms of Demonland - there are heaps of people who've donated so lots of options - but maybe WJ?

    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.

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
