  • 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.

Is it any wonder, she is a nightmare and hopefully the station will ease her out of the scene and send her to some far distant place to hone her skills(?) perhaps at another sport like fishing.

The only thing that surprised me was only 39.5% voted her the most annoying, I would have thought it would have been closer to 100%.

Here we go again....

Classic example of gender bias descrimination. The only reason she has the job is because she is female - I wonder how many better qualified men missed out on that role. Then again, if what Channel 10 have now is the cream of the crop, perhaps there was no other option but Kelly.

Would be better suited to boundary riding with comments that could be written for her.

I'm surprised that ponce Tim Lane didn't rate a mention... jesus mate just call the game and stop trying to prove how smart you think you are.

Bit harsh - has been calling the same for 20 years.

I have a very soft spot for Tim Lane. I remember our fantastic rise to the 87 finals series after 23 years in the wilderness. I thought Tim was a Demon supporter at the time such was his passion and excitement that a club with such a rich heritage as ours was competing in finals again. He loved Robbie and was a great commentator for ABC this year and always has been.

I am sure he must have mistakened MFC for Carlton. He cant help himself gush when he commentates their games.

Kelly Underwood chooses as the most annoying commentator by fans in herald sun survey. Finally the peoples verdict i thought i am just few of those peoples hate her here's the link for the story

here's the link http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/kelli-gets-under-our-skin/story-fn60xo8t-1225894746394

Its chosen and her name is Kelli. How times did you vote if you are just "few of the people's"? Get over it.

Difficulty with accepting others as they are, particularly if it rouses such an emotional reaction is what psychologists call Projection. It is speaking of a situation which acts like a mirror of oneself.I'd be awefully careful what one said on this topic on this forum.

Especially when one can't spell awfully.

My apologies, I should accept how you are. :o Actually, I'm in awe.

Gillard I can stand...

Why ? She was a major part of the worst and most wasteful Govt since Whitlam's. She's "moving forward" because the past is so terrible. Most Govt's campaign on their record. Is she campaigning on this Govt's record ?

Funny about that.

Fortunately for her, the general population is so stupid that they don't notice their billions of wasted taxes.

I thought BT had a great comment in that article. He points out that she's starting at the highest level when most of them have worked through various radio gigs calling VFL and the like before getting to the point of calling on TV. This doesn't make her voice any better to listen to, but it does excuse some of her skill errors. Perhaps with a few years of experience she might get the hang of it.

Who care what BT thinks - a [censored] who is full of himself at every level - stick with it Kelli :blink:

BT has a point there, but why has she jumped the queue?

The only point of difference is that she is female... and she has a bloody awful voice to listen to.

I try not to be overly critical, but the simple fact is that I turn the footy off (or at least the sound) when she is commentating.

I don't even have to think about it.

No deliberation.

She is, by far, the worst commentator out there.

And before the PC moral seekers get on their high horses and trumpet sexism, it's nothing to do with her being a woman. It's everything to do with her voice, her bias towards Geelong, and her lack of knowledge about non-Geelong teams.

She is annoying but not most annoying. Throw a blanket over BT, Dwayne Russell or Matthew Campbell for mine. The colour guys are even worse, Alastair Lynch and Glen Jakovich, give me a spell!

I know one thing for sure though, Kelli sure is the prettiest.

I wouldn't either, but that's because I wouldn't let her in my house.

I mean, she might be bearable if she was a bit easier on the eyes, but she doesn't even have that.

    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
