  • 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.

Dear God/Fate/The Universe/Whatever,

If, over the course of my life, I've managed to put together any positive karma/psychic energy/cosmic flow/whatever, I'd like to transfer it all to Jimmy Stynes, please. The guy deserves a break!

All the best,

Bananas

(Everybody's with you, Jimmy. Keep fighting.)

As usual, Jim is trying to play down what is a far more serious operation than he is letting on. They're cracking open his skull and tinkering with his brain fcs!!!! He's a strong man our Jim. Takes everything in his stride. Never shows any weakness. Holds his shoulders high and proud and tells the world how good and strong he feels, belieing the appearance of his clearly withered body. He is an inspiration. I really hope the boys give him soething to smile about this Sunday at the G.

As an aside, has Jim ever officially mentioned what his primary cancer is? My feeling is that it is melanoma, considering it started as "lumps in the back", but has this ever actually been mentioned in any press releases or has Jim ever said as much in any of his speeches/interviews? I didn't catch "Open Mike" last week, so don't know what he said there. But all I've ever heard are the words "tumour" and "cancer" mentioned. Does anyone know? If it hasn't been mentioned, then I'm sure Jim wants to keep it private, so I won't ask again.

It is a serious bout he has, a friend just sent me an email-his brother is a Doc at one of our big hospitals.

Tumours in the Brain mean the whole thing is touch & go-he is going to need every bit of his strength to beat this stuff.

It is serious-all of us on here must understand that. Send him whatever energy you can :P

The bravery of the man is amazing. Just like the bravery he showed in ignoring injury to play a record number of consecutive gains and also mirrored in his selfless work for the community and the club. A true hero if there ever was.

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
