  • 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.

Your comedic talents know no bounds.

I want to see PROGRESS...don't you -you was crying for it last year..

Once again, WOULD YOU RECOGNISE IT IF YOU SAW IT..?

I'm not convinced you would.

But even then you'd go back to whingeing about not have Jack Watt's weight updated on the website after he ate breakfast.

I'd prefer JW to muscle up thus increase weight-and yes-I believe we members should get an update on the list changes...at least Cam is showing us what is going on off -field.Height and weight changes show us progress and development but you would not understand that...

Cam has been virtually transparent since he began back at the club.

I'm a big fan of his work.

To say that "height and weight changes show us progress and development"...

I give up. You've won that argument.

Excellent video. I like the idea of it.

I'd agree if I could only watch it. As usual Bugpond won't display it on my Mac regardless of the browser I use.

Is the MFC prevented from putting such stuff up on youtube by some legal deal with the AFL?

Maybe the club could do a biggest loser type thing but call it the biggest gainer. We could track there progress and vote them out if they fall below the yellow line.

No, they've done it in the past with the Demons' Xmas Message.

I've been unable to play it on my mac also.

Excellent idea. I heard this presentation previously but still think the video is a great idea. It is an excellent way of communicating with members and helping them understand what the club is all about and what we are trying to achieve.

HT-- get your point re PATIENCE...but I would also like to see progresion as well.

Absolutely agree. Not a hint of it this pre-season.

Would you recognise it if you saw it..?

Do you have to be a smartass, know-it-all every time you post? Just ONCE Id like to see you add something of substance.

I can recognise the progression OFF the field and I recognise the lack of progression ON-

as do others with half a footy brain, Im sure. JCB's comment above, was spot on.

Theres enough senior players in the team - we SHOULD see some progression and SHOULD HAVE so far this pre-season..

But so far the pre-season, injuries aside, has been a shambles except for a half v adelaide and maybe another quarter or two.

Time to stop [censored] footing around. Anything less than 6-7 wins will be considered another wasted year and so far this year,

we havent played well enough to beat anyone - except maybe Freo and WCE at the 'G - and thats still a maybe.

Who was it that said, 'Footy sucks sometimes' again? .. anyway, they said SOMETIMES.

Says who?

The club has already talked about what they're looking to get out of this year. But either it's not getting through to you, or you don't/can't accept it.

Id guess most people that post on this website alone would say that 5 or less wins this year is unacceptable.

We basically won 5 games last year! (Thanks to Jordan again..) So how would 5 this year be any improvement?

If we only got 5 wins this year and especcially if its the 'same ol' mistakes and same bad habits' story as it is atm -

Id probably dump half the list again for 2011.

In spite of the fact there were few senior players on the field during the meaningless practice matches, haven't we already established long ago that our more senior players as a collective are just not up to it?

Isn't that why we started rebuilding in the first place?

Things will change when all of our young promising players become the more senior players in the side.

Not before.

Hahaha the elusive "most people"

This year is about improvement in terms of development. As far as I'm concerned the number in the wins column is largely irrelevant.

Yeah, but we did leave a core group of 'older' players in place.

Surely you'd expect with a group that comprises of: Davey-Slyvia-Green-Moloney-Jones-Rivers-Bruce-Warnock-Capt Mac-Jamar-add Joel Mac too, we should be able to get off Dead last and should be able to expect more than 5 wins?

Fair enough.

So you wouldnt be too upset if we only won 4 or 5 again?

I might end up in a ward sitting through another 17 melbourne losses..

Nope. The above is a list mostly made of solid role players with precious few stars, if any.

Every team needs its role players to complement the stars to create a contender, but without the stars you're going nowhere fast.

I'd be disappointed, but I'd understand.

How do you rate a 'star' tho? Every persons view might be different.

I rate Dav, Green and Bruce as 'stars' - Slyvia close.. throw in Moloney, Jones, Capt mac, Jamar -add Riv, Warnock, Frawls down back (and all these players having been playing together for years now) and you've the makings of a decent team, one that Should be good enough to get us over the line more than 4 or 5 times imo, stars or no stars..

I guess thats where we disagree..

We start 3-4 goals behind every week.... :blink::mad::mad: ... It's going to be a long year! harf harf harf

Interesting to see. The amount of work involved in turning around/keeping a football club viable/relevant off the field and on it is just immense! They really do an amazing job.

Here is looking forward to seeing it come to fruition and the cycle from heritage to legacy repeating itself a couple of times over my life cycle.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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,
