  • 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.

Hey fellow supporters,

I am a painter, and whilst photo posters are excellent, if you want to get really serious, only a painting will do. I would be happy to accept commissions from any of you! It has so many fabulous facets to it, that I suspect I'll paint a version anyway(with the 'home' uniform and shorts in replacement) My avatar is in fact a 'front on' view of the Shaun Smith mark using artists models (it's a bit hard to see I know). It is one of a triptych....front on, TV side view, and opposite side view. They are 5 foot tall, acrylic on canvas. I've also done a couple of modern impressionistic portraits of Tom Wills, both very football specific. If anyone is interested in seeing them, I can provide the relevant link to www.flickr.com where they (and the Shaun Smith) are in much higher def.

I can't see G.Lyon's eyebrows

Good Stuff....

Cheers bud. Will be an interesting response.

It'll also show the MFC how much us supporters take pride in our heritage red and blue! Maybe Keyser Snooze will realise what the bigger picture is within the email soon... when he wakes up.

The Dees are all about "community" and there's no better way than for supporters to voice themselves and help make a difference in various areas of the club. Imagery is an important one. And forum's such as Demonland are fantastic whereby a community as a whole can rally together to get behind different causes.

So... got a rebuttal, Keyser Salad???

I admire your drum beating, but I find it amusing when you refer to our alternate strip with a Demon on it..as "un-demon" like. The alternate strip represents the Melbournefc whether you like it or not.

Nevertheless the email may well result in "eyes rolling all over the shop." Granted, you may receive a reply thanking you for your thoughts.

Do you have the same view on Russell Robertson's mark taken a few years ago in a NAB Cup opener against West Coast at Etihad ? It was also an alternate strip which contained white as well as a demon (even though not the same jumper from the weekend). A most memorable mark also. Perhaps you could re-paint that one too.

This is it:

Jurrah is forever getting the ball seemingly out of position...the way he moves.....its almost his trait.....I still remember the one he took over Baker last year and then showed him the ball. It was right in front of me and I was surrounded by Stkilda supporters...the look on their faces and Bakers was priceless.

RED AND THE BLUE!!! THE TEAM WE LOVE, THE TEAM OF THE RED AND THE BLUE.

:) Loved Robbo's mark also... and it was good that the jumper he wore was actually predominantly red and blue.

Like when Yze's ripper goal from the pocket was eliminated against Essendon fans voting for a Fletcher bomb at the Telstra Dome.

That should have been goal of the year.

I tried that countless amount of times from the same side (lefties > righties :P ), only 20 metres out and I think I've only done it once...with a good bounce.

And I've kicked bananas from behind the goals so I'm no newbie to it

Sorry, but the jumper back then was predominantly red and blue.

Currently... it's predominantly white and blue. :/

Fairly ridiculous email to send the club.

Eyes would have been rolling all over the shop.

Comic sans is fitting.

Keyser = [censored] is fitting. The guys is expressing his passion. Take note.

Hahaha I agree with KS.

It's a wanky email to send the club, but it depends on your stance on the matter.

I'd roll my eyes and I think most at the club would.

I'd be disappointed of they didn't.

I'm sure the club wouldn't roll their eyes, I'd be disappointed if they did. If a youngster or anyone else for that matter came to you with an idea good or bad would you roll your eyes ?? Ideas, passion and enthusiam should be meet with applause not contempt.

Yep, you're spot on.

And silly emails whingeing about a clash strip with a amateurish attempt to change the jumper colour should be met with a roll of the eyes.

It's embarrassing to think anyone would really care about what looks like a year 9 graphics assignment.

Bravo.

    It's Game Day and the two oldest teams in the competition, the Demons and the Cats, come face to face in a true 8 point game. The Cats are unbeaten after 8 rounds whilst the Dees will be keen to take a scalp and stamp their credentials on the 2024 season. May the 4th Be With You Melbourne.

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    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
