  • 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.

dont mind the occassional punt. put $100 on swan to win the brownlow into saints and cats to make the big one for a return of $600. also $100 on the cats to win the lot at $3.75 . hopefully a nice little pay day. did anyone else get amongst the action?

Gambling is a tax for the stupid.

But I have been known to get amongst it on the odd occasion...

Just shows - you are a very strange man- double dutch at times.Does this mean you are part stupid.?

Ok, for people of the thicker persuasion amongst us, I was poking a bit of fun at myself.

Everybody got that? Its a hard concept, I know.

I'm smart enough to know I'm incredibly stupid at times.

(by everybody, I mean you John. Moving on!)

Love to have a few punts esp multis.....won 2500 once for 10 bucks on 6 games where each team had to win by less than 39.5pts (ie under 40pts)....over the course of the weekend the first five teams had got up...(amazingly)...the sixth and final game was mel v coll a QB few years back....the sixth leg of the bet was either side to win under 15.5pts....The siren had sounded and the dees had won by 13 or 14pts but ROBBO had taken a last minute screamer and was shooting for goal near the boundry after the siren.....you can imagine...so wrapt to win the game (esp against the pies).... my mates were most bemused at me suddenly screaming at the tele.... No No!!....He missed.

Agree about TMR. Just checked TAB sportsbet odds for MFC players... and they list Frawley, Green, Sylvia, Moloney and Scully as favourites and Any Other Player at $8.50. This is very tempting because you would think that Jamar will collect plenty of votes and Davey/Bruce/Junior have all had reasonable form and polled well in the past from memory.

During pre-season I made a bet with a bomber mate that Jurrah would kick more goals than Gumbleton... that weekend LJ did his shoulder. I was probably the only MFC supporter with a grin on his face after round 22 against North when he bagged 5. Also, put $2 on Sylvia for the brownlow at 500-1... the next week guess who had his jaw broken?

Now wondering if I should apply for a job at the Crown as a 'cooler' or if Sylvia will now make a charge in the final rounds to steal Chaz.

You and me both.....

I did the same thing, but also put a fiver on Junior at 1000-1, the week before he did his hammie.

Glad to know I'm not the team's only bad luck charm.....

Why didn't I follow my gut and take the $8.50 for 'any other player' instead of Sylvia? Davey finished equal 1st on 10 votes with Sylvia but those greedy pr!cks at the TAB only paid out half. Green got absolutely no love from the umpires yet again.

If we look like making finals next year with a few more wins on the board Davey could be a smokey

THE TAB ARE DIRTY [censored]!

not only do they pay out half on one bet , i had a 10 leg multi with jack riewolt to have most votes as one of my legs

i put $100 on it at a return of $2500 i get 1250 back how is that fair when i have 9 legs still correct.

i am better of if without that leg in the damn bet! he was only $1.80 and now all my other 9 legs suffer...

You should read the fine print regarding the rules of payouts before placing the bets.

"IF" we look like making the finals.How pedestrian of you.

If we look like winning the flag,I may have a glance.Otherwise I'll be PUNTING as usual.

Oh dear,drop the "WE" please

    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,
