  • 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.

Anyone know any former players that come to the dees' games regularly.

The only guy I see quite often is Anthony Ingerson...looks like a passionate supporter and a just your normal guy in the crowd i.e. polarfleece never suit!

Any others?

Last year I saw one of my old favourites, Ricky Jackson at two of Melbourne's games.

I had a beer with Nathan 'doggy' Brown last year at the Sunday twilight game against Adelaide rnd 5? He was a great bloke & still loves the dees. He told me he never became a firefighter.

Is Paul Wheatley employed by the club in any capacity? He was at the game on the weekend, dressed in what looked pretty much the same as the players' suits worn by Juice, Hughes, Miller etc who were also viewing. He even came down the same set of stairs into the rooms the current players did. Confused me a bit. But anyway, he was there.

yeah, i was at it, great laugh with miller and robbo, we were watching the game behimd the glass, i have to say miller is a top bloke, he remembered me from the plane to darwin. robbo loves the sound of his own voice i must say. and its obvious he still wants to be out there, yze and browny were ribbing him about how good the 24 looks on LJ, very funny. it's amazing listening to the boys comment during the game, they see stuff a lot quicker than the normal bloke, neita was great too, he reckons that greeny is probably the bravest player he's played with and is underatted by others outside MFC. i agreed. they were getting stuck into watts a few times with his decision making. but all think he will be a star. Ricky 'bobby' petterd rocked up too, he is a very popular bloke with the older boys, they took the [censored] but he held his own. the boys congratulated him on signing the contract, he said he was never going to GC, he loves it here. all in all a great day, was a bit surreal sitting drinking beers with that team, what a decent bunch of lads. Whitey is now ruck coach at GC, good move. yze looks as fit as ever. if u ever get a chance to go to one of these events its well worth the money

I caught the train to Etihad for the St Kilda match from Prahran station and Steven (i think) Febey was on it. He was dressed in casual attire. I am sure it was Steven and not mouse, one of them is regularly spotted crawling out of Revolver or 161 at 9am in the morning chewing face.

AAahhh hahahahaha mate of mine lived on Chapel st, the St Kilda end next to a pub (can't recall the name of it off the top of my head). We used to frequent it on Sundays as my mates hot house mates worked there. The Febey boys were both in there often on a Sunday with the bright lights in the eyes and smashig down the chewy's.

Near the Union? I can't recall the name either, but I know where u mean. Always see them out the front, with very itchy noses. Mouse is the worst by far. He always jacked! Both lovely fellas though!

There a several former players who regularly attend but not all perhaps well known faces, espcially the older ones. I caught up with a former head of the former players at Etihad aafter StKilda game and guys like Gary Hardeman and a bloke who wore no 2 and played on the wing a bit up until 1987 have been regulars since their playing days at games at the G. guys older than them like Noel McMahon and his vintage also attend most home games still.

Stephen Smith - a regular - in the MCC committee area.

And Barass, of course.

I saw Sean Wight and Rod Grinter sitting with Stephen Smith as guests of the MCC the other week.

I sat next to Steven in 2005 (at a guess) one game :)

Guy Rigoni and i had a few pots together at the royal after the melb vs westcoke game this year,

top bloke!

Sydney FC are offering all ex-socceroos and one guest free memberships for life. I was wondering if MFC should do something similar with ex-players that played 100 games plus etc. Good to keep players around the club, even at a distance. Great to help build the passion for future father-son-draft picks perhaps.

    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,
