  • 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.

Anyone else curious as to what's happened to Cam Schwab?

He was a dedicated user of social media to keep in touch with the members and supporters and has disappeared since the Caro Wilson article said he was under the pump.

Are we to guess that he's been gagged by the Board?

Or does he have nothing to say about not re signing Scully, possibly losing Morton for nothing to gold coast in the pre season draft or nothing to say about his faith in baileys coaching?

Would expect greater leadership in the difficult times from the CEO and not to hide under his desk.

Cam, I know you visit this site, show leadership, provide the vision for MFC and don't disappear during the tough times.

Not gagged by the board, but it was reported that there has been a decisive shift to promoting Bailey and the team on-field, rather than the club off-field.

I thought this was common knowledge.

CS would be shying away from excessive use of twitter to avoid the perception that he was trying to undermine Bailey's wish to have the team be the focus.

Fair enough, when you know what Caroline Wilson is like...

You're very accommodating of all the Melbourne people aren't you. Are you pushing an agenda for someone?

Yes the last whiteboard Wednesday spent a lot if time talking about Michael Malthouse.

Since then not a word...Probably means nothing, but i have wondered about that point since the vid came out.

I think Cameron has been great for our "new" club btw.

It's an odd sort of 3rd post, for a beginner, starting off with a bit of an obscure thread, from left field? Can Play?

Glad he's not twittering. He's a smart bloke doing a good job, and maybe it's just me, but I find it hard to take anyone seriously who wastes their time on twitter.

Even if he is using it as a way of corresponding with the very large number of Demon fans on there?

Some would say this.. but some could also provide the notes that he and CC also failed at Fremantle.

CC may have not done the best job as coach but CS certainly did a great job for Freo his record speaks for itself. No matter how the on field form was like CS took a financial basket case of a club and made it profitable in a short period of time.

Been on Demonology for years, and read on here everyday. However only post when I truly am concerned about something. And I truly believe Schwab has been good for MFC but he's gone missing of late when the heat is on.

One of his last tweets was he was certain we'd reach 40000 members. Well we going to be about 4000 short of that so our revenue budget will be short by about $450,000. Wonder if he is still projecting a profit? Also, I believe he should be updating members again re Scully.

Their target and what they actually budgeted for could be to different things.

Well on cue Cam Schwab was on SEN this morning, unfortunately for him fielding basically all questions Scully related (nothing new, apparently the Ox is 98% sure he's gone) so you could sense the frustration in his voice as he kept to basically the same lines we always have, "our policy is not to play contracts out in the media", "Tom's a fine young man who will make his decision in due coarse" blah, blah, blah....

According to Don McLardy in preseason we budgeted for 35,000 members, which we have exceeded.

No issues there.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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,
