  • 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.

Just got home from the Western Demons function. More than 300 supporters there, coaches & players mingled & involved the kids. Each table had a player for a while & then they rotated. Beamer was at our table first, just a great guy, then Joel Macdonald (ditto), then Bailey who was fabulous. Was great to hear him talk about coaching from the bench, the new training centre. Then he did a general question session, spoke v. highly of Jack Watts as an engaging guy, though v. competitive. Jack was quite a star tonight, a real personality, great w. the little kids. (He has a cut over one eye from training). This team is something to be proud of!

Just wondering if Kyle Cheney made the trip as the emergency player.

Maric had the role last week and you wouldn't think he'd have it two weeks in a row. Yo

I wouldn't take Warnock as an emergency so my guess is Cheney.

Forgot to say that Bailey said we had a chance tomorrow because we have a couple of "elite athletes" (Bail & Watts, I think) who will be able to catch out some underdone Dockers, brought back too soon. Will coach from the bench again because, even though he sacrifices the overview of the play, he feels he needs to speak one on one with the kids. If they've mucked up he'll more often than not offer encouragement.

Warnock & Maric both played for Casey today.

Yes, it was a great night. The players were happy to mingle and do autographs etc. One guy paid $1900 to sit on the coaching bench next to Chris Connolly for the Freo game. A keen Demon supporter and very rich no doubt. They tried to auction Ron Barassi's jumper but it was passed in at $ 1000. Shane Woewoden was there with his young son ( In Demons colours). Father /Son rule one day? Woey's jumper was passed in at auction at $850. A few of the players I spoke to reckoned that a win over Freo was on the cards. Guess we will have to wait and see. Bailey spoke forcefully and succinctly about our future hinting that our appearance near the top was getting closer and closer. Said it was a great honour to be associated with a great club like Melbourne. He didn't really answer the question about Junior playing next year but said that he was a terrific leader at the club. He also implied that Gold Coast would have to battle hard to pinch any of our players. Also that other clubs were going to make things difficult for the fledgling side. The way he spoke made one realise how he got the coaching job over others. BTW the Western Demons award for our best player V the Weagles was won by Mr Moloney. Gee, he looked as tough as a mallee bull. Ken Melville and Trevor Johnson from the mighty '50's were there.

Bump.....

Do the Western Demons still meet at The Paddington in Mount Hawthorn on game day? I'm moving to the area soon and noticed they sponsor the Western Demons.

Much love,

Ethan Tremblay, 

That's some "bump' Ethan.

I think it would register on the Richter scale!

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
