  • 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.

Biggest. [censored]. Ever.

Watching Before the Bounce and I have never seen a cockier, more arrogant, biased host of a television program ever.

Plus, he's ugly.

End rant.

EDIT: Wrong board. Also, useless topic.

I quite like the Chief, and Before The Bounce is right up there with one of the best footy shows on all the stations.

Sorry Jerry, but prior to now I always thought your posts exhibited sound judgement.

Did he say or do anything in particular in tonight's show?

Or do you just think that in general?

Spud Frawley posed the question of whether a woman will ever play in the AFL to the Chief. And after about a minute of stupid circular banter, Frawley had had enough and said that it was Jeff Kennett who brought it up. Finally, Dunstall sheepishly admitted that it was indeed the Hawks president that started it all.

But just in general, he's a jerk. He's got a massive ego and no time for anyone he thinks is below him, which - due to the former - includes just about everyone.

I quite like the Chief, and Before The Bounce is right up there with one of the best footy shows on all the stations.

I like before the bounce to, especially Jerrard Waitely, who's on tonight. But I can't stand Jason Dunstall's massive ego and total inability to form an articulate, unbiased opinion on anything.

Yes, he's a bit of a tool... arrogant, takes a lot of things WAY to seriously...

But he's the best FF I ever saw play the game, and has a WORLD of respect for his on-field exploits... which in turn means he gets away with whatever he wants.

I think its hilarious when he throws fried rice at that c&%t Quartermain and for that reason alone I'm happy he is still around

TOTALLY.

There are antics of former players that I applaud at times. Call me biased, but I love it when Newman gets carried away on the footy show with Hutchy. I think, while it's trashy, the footy show remembers (largely due to Newman) what perspective is all about. Footy has always been a recreation. It's become quite a lucrative one, and there are elements of seriousness involved since it is such a large entity (employment, careers, major injury) but the fact remains, for the vast majority, we get into it as a means of enjoyment. In the middle part of our lives we take it seriously, but it is still, in it's inception, fun.

Newman has made millions from footy, and has maintained the fun aspect... inspired largely by Teddy Whitten, by all accounts. There is a time for seriousness, but it's people like Quarterbrain, McChins and Hutchy, who try to manufacture meaning in footy where there is none, in order to enhance drama, and make themselves seem more necessary.

Lyon played, as did Newman... Those guys know all about the fun aspect, and know when to swear and get serious. When Hutchy comes on and tries to drum up some false rumour he got off some Tiger's person, and Newman tries to highlight how ugly and bald he is... it really serves as a reminder that Hutchy is a parasite, and should count himself lucky that he's even in the media.

The players will ALWAYS be more important than him, even when they're embarrassing old men who've matured disgracefully.

The Chief is a very funny man and a great character, I have no problems whatsoever with the way he goes about things. Always thought he bounces off Spud well also, great chemistry there, other people on the panel not so much. Especially the little dorky fella with glasses and a lisp, surely they could have found someone better?

    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

    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
