  • 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.

Both Port Adelaide sides in Trouble....

This club could be the league's biggest problem in the next year or so.

Never agreed with their inclusion into the AFL as the supporter base was never going to be diverse enough.

Another great Wayne Jackson move...he did so much!!

they'll merge....they'll fix themselves up.. The AFL has no real basketcases as far as introduced teams :rolleyes: just as there's no tanking...:lol: Port will come out smelling a little better than Carrum Downs or Werribee and all will be fine.

Shall be interesting to see the outcome BB as over the last few years there has been a real identity crisis within those two clubs.

Within south australia a lot of supporters have not felt comfortable barracking for one or either teams.

Would be hard to barrack for those colours though, so i understand the dilema!! :lol:

it was always a risk to have the 2nd SA team being Port Adelaide... while there was a ready made supporter base there, it would always alienate other football followers in SA....

could you imagine, if the AFL originated out of SANFL, and in Victoria everyone followed a 'Melbourne' team, how many football followers of the VFL would then embrace Collingwood being the 2nd side? not many I would think...

I must confess I always thought that Port..was Port. That is to say that the AFL team was an outcrop of the SANFL team. Only in reent times has it occured to me that this wasnt quite the case. Port is a basketcase ( and still they managed a Premiership :blink:) They are indeed a parochial lot in SA. They do love their footy ( and good on them ) but there are distinct divides.

There's been a bit of movement at the helm there. I suspect things will calm down some.

I agree a norward supporter would never barrack for, port, unless one of his relatives play for port, then again, it took chads farther a long time to even watch his sons play for port, so you can see how narrow minded south aussie are.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
