  • 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.

thanks for the offer, brett, but we have been very happy with the amateur umpires who have helped us out in recent games...

are you up for goal umpiring ?? :wub:

sorry, benno, but the saturday/sunday debate was put to bed years ago... :rolleyes:

our "leadership group" consists of pringle, wolfmother, whispering jack, funky41, melbournefc, wise, tassie dee, redleg + hards...

Talkingcarlton + saintsational have proposed round robin forum footy matches on Sunday, November 8 – each game 2 X 15 minute quarters – each team plays the other 2 teams once.

Downside is that wise is not available, but there are no other viable dates this year... :mellow:

If a majority of the leadership group pm"s a “yes” to me, I will set up the team thread on demonland.

Regards,

Peter Connor (aka rollo)

early "leadership" voting is 2-0 in favour of november 8...

with wise crying in the background... :mellow:

seems to me it's november 8, or wait until next year...

watch this space...

Looks like the 8th will be a go but I'll leave it to Rollo to confirm.....

Want it to be big this year, so will organise a function afterwards at one of the local pubs and maybe a BBQ for the ground... Hope to get a few down to help out even if you don't want to throw on the boots

Surely now that we have the CEO, President and a player on Twitter we could organise for some MFC representation?! I reckon they'd get a laugh out of it, and it could potentially even raise a bit of money for a charity (or even the MFC Benevolent Fund haha)

never been a spark of interest from the club before, guys...

can't see that changing, but do your worst !!

leadership group now 5-0 in favour of November 8, but I will not start up the game organisation thread yet...

the other sites are in disarray, so I don't know who we are playing, where we are playing or when we are playing at this stage...

but it is safe to pen in the date of November 8 in your calendars...

sorry for you guys who have to miss out, but there will be a february 2010 fixture...

regards,

rollo

I probably have delusions of grandeur, but I would have thought the club might see it as an opportunity to give a little back to its fans. Once organised I'll be calling on all Demonland Tweeters (or is that Twits :lol:) to start a campaign!!

As a member of the leadership group, I have to say that there will be punishment for anyone not turning up to the 1st game of the season in less than top condition.

Skinfolds will be tested this year, and there will be some gut-busting running required for anyone who doesn't toe the line.

Despite dodgy hammies repeatedly falling apart as I approach the 30 y.o. mark, I'm definitely in and have been training my heart out all pre-season (after hitting the booze for the 1st 6 months following our last outing vs. the Blues). That's the kind of dedication I expect from everyone. I don't expect to personally make it past the 5 minute mark before I feel the first twang in the back of my thigh, but at least I know that if I don't tear a hammy straight away, I might just be able to run out the two 15 minute halves.

This is our time Demonlanders. Don't think, do... Oh wait, that one's been used... Um, ask not what your club can do for you...no wait, um...

P.S. Rollo, don't the Pies have a forum team? Surely amongst their 4 million fans they have at least 22 blokes willing to be subjected to a flogging at our hands? It's not like they's have to do anything difficult like buy mouthguards or something. I guess they wod have to learn to read though so we could let them know we want to play. hmm... Maybe getting a bit hard. Would love to pump those toothless !#@*s though.

not posting for any other reason than the fact that you guys are fractionally more reasonable and rational than the people we are trying to play on november 8...

the sainters have developed an unexplained objection to the round robin, the pies don't seem to have an organiser for these events, and the blues are organising full-steam ahead on the basis that this is all happening...

(rollo will have no hair left by november 8)...

summary - we will be playing the blues on november 8, god knows where, when, and who else may join the party...

you'd think we were trying to stitch together the fev deal. i'll try to fire up the collingwood mob. i don't get too involved cos i ain't in melbourne anymore but i think it's just a matter of confirming a date, time and venue and our chaps will be there. though, don't forget some of them have to arrange "day passes". ;)

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. 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

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
