  • 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 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.


The Arrogance of James Kelly (2010)

Who saw Kelly "asleep" during the Song at the end??

F@#$%K that I hope our young side gets to see that & file it away. It was noticed in my loungeroom with 2 other mates.

The MFC must smash Geelong in future years.

P.S. Does anyone else think that "Bomber" looks like he has just smoked a J before he is ever interviewed???

Mark Thompson didn't want to comment on Melbourne's future and how good he reckoned they would be. I reckon that was pretty poor from Bomber.

Why? I'm beyond hearing other coaches say we have lots of talent and how good we are going to be. It's no secret. Bomber can focus on how he will beat us in the future. We don't need the recognition of the comp, we need wins.

Wouldn't worry about that. He will be forced to talk about how good we are for a long time in the years to come and they will be on the end of a few hidings too. The wheel turns people

ha ha and arrogance.

As stated they always do something stupid when the camera passes them. Nothing new. No real arrogance there.

And why not be arrogant, they have won 70/79 and 2 flags in between.

I hope our players get good enough to show some arrogance, Carey was the best I have ever seen and he was arrogant, nearly all the all time greats are.

Who gives a {sh!t} WYL.

When you're a Geelong player you can celebrate how you want to celebrate. In fact, their players joke like that when they sing their song time and time again if you hadn't noticed. Matty Scarlett is among others who does similar antics in their circle quite often.

Fine, Geelong can do what they like sure. But if i was playing for Melbourne i would remember that for another day. You wouldn't. Fine.

Yeah, I noticed this before on Fox Sports news. I was down at Geelong so didn't get to see it earlier on the TV, but had to give it a look before. [censored] arrogant little [censored]. Bomber has always been supremely arrogant which translates onto their supporter base. Not particularly feral or anything, just smarmy. I went down with my sister and we sat a row a way from our cheersquad, surrounded by GFC supporters that were presumably astounded that anyone other than a GFC supporter had made the trip to the forsaken dump. They didn't say much during the first three quarters and waited until the 15 minute mark of the fourth before they started their smarmy, arrogant little remarks that I hate them for. I can't wait for them to fall.

It actually reminded me of his team mate, that little piece of work, Josh Hunt, a few seasons ago. I'm sure you remember it. We ended up winning that game, which was sweet, I can't wait to stick it them up though.

Not concerned about Kelly because from his interviews he seems a bit of a jokester who loves giving it to Lingy at every opportunity. As mentioned others at cats have done similar things on camera during their song or even brownlow night. It may be immature but not directed at MFC.

Bomber looks like he is either the evil Emperor out of Star Wars or in a government sponsored sleep deprivation program.

At the end of the day, if you can talk the talk, you better be able to walk the walk.

Geelong can walk alright. If one of our players did that during the song after we'd won out 80th game of the past 73, I'd probably laugh.

Have you seen them singing the song at all in the last 2 years? They hardly ever show any passion when doing it, it's just become another part of the monotony of winning. They have become that used to it that it isn't as important as it is to us; look at our boys every time they sing the song, they know how important it is to the club and to the supporters and they belt it out with gusto. I just hope that if/when we become a powerful side the players look back on this period and remember what it felt like and they take pride in what they achieve each game, be it a 1 point win or a 50 point shellacking.

It's got nothing to do with us. It's a combination of arrogance and superiority. He, Enright and Scarlett do stupid stuff like that all the time.

One day Geelong will fall back to the pack. Until then singing the song will be a monotonous task required after a game.

Some posters in need of some lovin. :rolleyes:

Don't worry RR- nobody needs lovin- except you- and another thing-Bomber will not be at Catland when the Dees are a top side.He'll be in property development.

SMARMY sums them up real well. Well, they're headed for a big fall and the more smarmy they are during the season, the bigger and more painful that fall's gonna be :)

(reminder: when we're the best going around, let's try real hard to at least not be collectively smarmy)

    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

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
