  • 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.

I will now use my number five jumper to wipe my arse with. Or maybe I'll wait til I see who gets the number five first..

I thought he handled himself ok in that interview and didn't take any low blows at the club on his way out unlike Robbo who can't seem to keep his mouth shut.

He didn't want to be at the club, that's fine, we moved him on and were compensated fairly.

Time will tell who has the last laugh!

in one breath his saying late last year was tough and everyone really had to make sure they stuck together and in the other his saying towards the end of last year he wasn't happy and made his mind up to leave.

he knew that because we succeeded in only winning 4 we'll be adding 2 gun mids and he won't be getting a game in two years.

see ya mate.

I suggest quickly following up the brock interview with this one:

Yep good call.. Im feeling alot better already. Infact I don't even recall a guy by the name of Brock? On a diffrent note has anyone seen the series of 'Joke Watts' clips on youtube. Although It makes me very angry the back ground music still makes me laugh.

LOL at those Joke Watts clips. They are hilarious. God he looks like a mistake in those videos. But we'll see . . .

I thought the interview was a credit to Brock and his professionalism. Well done Brock, and thanks for giving your all during your career at the Melbourne Footy Club ............ but I'll stop short of wishing you well at your new club, because they are almost as putrid as Collingwood in my reckoning.

Did anyone else think it was interesting that in this interview, both Dr Turf and more importantly Brock, more or less admitted that the club was tanking at the end of the year? Add to this Robbo's comments that were quoted in the Herald Sun on the weekend, and you have 2 players saying (In a round about way) that the club was tanking. Is it possible that this could lead to possible remifications? Or have the AFL created a rod for their back by steadfastly (and ignorantly) denying that tanking exists?

My dream scenario is Melbourne beating Carlton in a premiershpi with Brock looking on in despair.

Brock McLean - the man who wanted to lead our club, but whenever was given the opportunity, went missing.

Carlton can have him.

Jimmy Bartel tagged Lenny Hayes in the GF. Is he walking out on his club... no because he did what the team and the club required of him.

Perhaps Brock, if you could run 100m in under 15 seconds and kicked it to our forwards on the full, they would have given you a more creative roll.

Anyways, no hard feelings :rolleyes:

Yes your words are close to the way i think, The sad part about this is that Brock just wasn't playing good Football.

So he had Bugger all to fall onto.

Next Years Carlton Game will be a Great Day......

    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.
