  • 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.

Well I sit in the Olympic Stand & thats almost sold out.

So do I on level 2. The bar that is located directly behind me should be pumping with Melbourne supporters next year. I still think we need to move the premium members from the Hassett room to the Jim Stynes room

I'll admit to being one of those who haven't signed up for 2011. Will do so on either Monday or Tuesday of next week.

That delay has mostly been due to waiting on the outcome of a post-grad scholarship application (I got it) which would allow me to buy a more expensive pack but also partly due to the thoroughly depressing experiences I've had recently with the membership department. Every time I've spoken to someone at other parts of the club they've been fantastic - super enthusiastic, helpful, first-rate. Every time I've spoken to the membership division I get what seems to be a bored teenage girl who doesn't appear to give two hoots about the club and would rather I didn't ask any questions so she can go back to her Myspace and Twitter. That frustration was compounded when I had to call Richmond, Collingwood and Geelong to buy memberships for family members and found that their people were as super enthusiastic and helpful as everyone I've dealt with at MFC apart from the membership division.

Also, that lousy experience will make people far less inclined to upgrade (from 3-game to 11-game; from general admission to reserved, etc) or add on something extra that will ultimately help the club.

Of course I'm going to buy a membership but it just cheesed me off. Rant over; big year for Nathan Jones in 2011.

I'm always distracted... that's why I set up membership for auto-payment each year; and they still sms or email you to give you the chance to opt out if necessary.

We should remind ourselves that buying from the Demon Shop is just as good as buying a membership.

Brunton Ave, under the G.

A really awful place for retail but there you go.

It is terrible isn't it. Even Schwab commented on it at a particularly dreary members info night, i think it was before season 09 when he told us all how much poo we were in at the time

Thanks for the correction. Interesting that the stars on the back of the stock from China are the wrong colour (-orange). The new stock in March will apparently have the correct colour (yellow or gold). Minor hiccup IMO. The staff are disappointed, but that's China I guess (or communication error). Still, I purchased my young son's first jumper (no.31 on the back). Still looks great.

Staff are very helpful and considerate. They've been flat out. Getting to the store - park elsewhere and walk there is the best option.

It's a real shame the Demon Shop isn't at the Melbourne Town Hall, Brunton Ave is just dead set dangerous to stop on during weekdays.

I hope at some stage the shop is moved...

    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
