  • 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.

I posted a year or two ago that the club should use this forum to communicate and educate it's most passionate fans. Since then we've had some input on here from Cam but I still maintain that the club trivializes us on here with their absence

We are arguably the most passionate of the passionate yet they are silent on here, I disagree with their low level of Demonland input

Congrats to the people who make this site possible though, well deserved

I don't agree with that - I think the club should only get involved in rare circumstances.

Credit where credit is due. Everyone involved in this site, from the owner to the mods, have done a great job over the last 12 months.

Well done guys

Couldn't agree more! Demonland is my first port of call every day! Thanks to everyone involved, including contributors who give me my daily 'footy fix'.

True... perhaps it's because I went from being single, to being married, having a toddler and now another baby on the way. :wacko:

I couldnt agree more with the clubs absense from here. Im a full supporter of the separation of powers - church ( us ) and state (mfc)

I acknowledge everyone is only wanting the same end result but the levels of passion and in particular the direction of some of the passion from this site leaves me scratching my head in disbelief - I can only imagine what the powers to be at the MFC must think.

Edit - well done on this site and its moderators

DemonsHQ are on here and just recently were encouraging people to complete a survey about online forum usage etc (maybe they were aware of these figures?). I would love to see them have more of a presence here where they could float ideas with a view to getting "true" supporter feedback and where questions and suggestions could be put directly to them... perhaps set up a dedicated forum here, where the Casey forum previously existed?

Yes, well done to all.

Very well run amd moderated.

It looks better than other forums and the vast population of Land ensures it health and it's ability to acquire some of the most challenged individuals - like any society.

And rpfc says - in the words of John Hodgman - You're Welcome.

You can be assured that the Club monitors this site, but as for 'true' supporter feedback I am not entirely sure this is "rue" as some of the views on this board are not balanced opinion and can get quite emotive and destructive

But the Club does monitor and can see what is on the supporters minds, hence the output from the Club on the Club website and new initiatives appearing all the time

I am sure if you look at the topics poosted on this board they range from who should be delisted (which usually starts after the first NAB cup game), to why do the bumper stickers fade in sunlight, so the Club gets to see a lot of output both good and bad.

I would not go out of my way to advertise my presence if I was from the Club, as it lead to such things as Nathan Jones taking a break from all the vitriol he received on Twitter after the Collingwood game

And no I don't work for the club

Congrats and thanks to all involved in the maintaining of this site. It is great for me living in NSW, as it's nice to be able to feel a little involved when I'm so far away.

    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.

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

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.
