  • 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.

Boo Brock?

Fair enough he made a choice to leave - his role was going to be diminished by the talent we have got coming in and was probably offered a lesser contract. But he must be aware of the effect the comments that he apparently made after the match last night would have. Tie that in with the certain of treachery that is inherent in leaving a club and you have got a souring relationship. Some people were embarassed when we booed Bock last year, but I thought it gave the 'G the feeling of a 'home ground crowd' that we have not had in a while. Why then not show this guy that we will not just give him a pat on the back as he walks away to what he thinks will be greener pastures?

He said "that was my first win in round 1, since 2005". Not that bad, don't know if he said anything else.

Sometimes it's just the way things are said...

If its a statement of fact then there isnt much to object to now is there? As players and supporters we can empathise with that cant we?

All he was really saying it was great to win first up asnd then he had not done so since 2005.Brock has been very consistant saying he did not feel that the MFC would improve dramatically over the next 2 to 3 years. However let's show him team- by winning tommorrow.

I'll never boo him as I genuinely believe Brock gave all and was totally honest by saying he did not want to play with the team anymore.We just need to hope Gysberts turns out well as a replacement.I think he will.

Personally I leave the booing to the hypocritical cretins at clubs like carlton and collingwood. They boo anyone who leaves them but cheer like rabid dogs for anyone who comes to them, like Judd and Ball.

I'll boo him anyway (just for kicks) but I don't think those comments are that offensive to be honest. Brock's gone, and I for one am extremely happy we got Gysberts for him.

I really rate Booing. I find it very enjoyable and usually have a good laugh after each good boo. i always enjoy the footy and a bit of good humoured vocal banter is a great part of it. If you want to hear some cretins go no further than the MCC members where I sit. The words "kick it" are used as a solve all by many of my fellow supporters.

do you concede that some of those 'kick its' are followed by a series of handballs that eventually come unstuck and someone is caught into a turnover, and kicking it WOULD have been the better option

I will very much enjoy Booing then laughing at Brock when he's hopelessly trying to run down a player at walking pace, with his head strangeley upright. As a passionate Demon suporter, laughing sometimes is the only thing that keeps me sane.

He was playing and therefore partially responsible for these losses he is making stupid remarks about.

If the passionate, massive, tribal, huge, etc crowds that follow the blues and pies around are cretins, then call me a wannabe cretin.

Definite case for booing.

FFS. Whatever pleases people these days? :rolleyes:

I remember Woewy's first game against us, on Queens Birthday. Many of our supporters booed him and i could not work out why, given we gave him the push. Collingwood went on to win by 58 points that day. An embarrassing defeat, made even more so by imbecilic booing.

While it may feel good for some at the time, it serves no purpose whatsoever. You can boo at your own peril. I just want to see a good game of footy and hopefully the Dees can challenge Carlton.

The only time I've ever booed at a football match was a few years ago when Ben Johnson gave Belly a hip to the head and knocked him out cold. Booed every time he got near it after that. Beyond that, I can't really be bothered wasting my energy booing, especially not for players who we were more than adequately compensated for when they left. I just don't see the point.

The point is he turned his back on us, thought he could do better, thought he deserved better, than to play for the Melbourne Football Club.

Having said that I won't boo him because I'll be too busy watching the play to bother, lol.

But I will never cheer him again that's for sure. And I'll never forget the fact that he put himself before his mates.

Brock's been a pro in all the media I've heard since he decided to leave and since he left.

He did donate that money to the Demons too.

I wont be booing him but I also wont be wishing him luck at Carlton

Can we cheer him if he stuffs up?

If Ju$$ & Ball were playing for us tomorrow you would be cheering them-now wouldn't you.... :)

I wouldn't waste my time. More important players to boo...

Possibly current demons.

:D

I kid. There's far more threatening players running round for the blues I'd be worried about. Kruezer, Judd, Murphy, Gibbs... They're the difference-makers in that side.

    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
