  • 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.

Interesting info about the history of Tasmania, thanks demonlanders. You learn something every day!  I can't recall too much about Australian history from school. The only thing I remember is that Matthew Flinders sailed down the east coast from Sydney.  He entered Port Phillip bay through the heads and went on to mount Martha. That surprised me because I had thought Martha had stayed home in England.

Still haven't heard from the good doc and he doesn't appear to handing out his usual indiscriminate thrashings.

Is it possible the doc cavorted a little too enthusiastically during the abovementioned rites of summer and did himself a mischief?

What's that thing about doing unto others? I tend to prefer that direction. First anyway. 

Have been enjoying myself of late poking feathers at Crusader Biffin and reading about nineteenth century s-x crimes in Vienna. No connection of course.

The more things change the more they go backwards, daisy. We get by jumping from satellite to a Telstra mobile broadband service to using an iPhone as a hotspot. But there was a 7:30 report thing a while ago on a bloke who has to put his iPhone in a plastic bag and hoist it up a tree to get any sort of internet so I can't complain (and no one would listen anyway).

Good to know that things are moving so fast in the metropoli though.

yeah, i saw that report. very impressed with his resourcefulness. must be a bushy thing. but seriously, have they talked to you about moving you to the new satellite? it did sound like a big improvement for satellite nbn, but maybe it is reserved for other areas or some such other bureaucracy?

We're completely in the dark about the new satellite and it doesn't seem to have helped ease the load on the existing one. We have outage after outage, only some of them planned. Assuming the wet arrives soon we'll probably need to connect to the web via semaphore.

Hope you're right 'bub. Will we have to rely on Telstra to get it working though?

A communications engineer has told me that Telsta is overcharging the NBN access its infrastructure and pits, which are full of asbestos and disconnected lines.

Privatised Telstra is now destroying its own competition through arbitrage and sabotage.

Our Bitter correspondent has asked me to inform you that he is taking a week off to practice his diction and cultural awareness.

It seems a typo made in poor taste has offended someone worried in case of somebody getting offended.

Bitters was guilty of stereotyping our Asianneighbours ability to pronounce the letter r.

I suppose the decades he's spent teaching Asian children English  must have been interspersed with some Hey Hey it's Saturday!!

I did buy lunch at a shop called " wok and lol" today and funnily enough it was busy with customers and not a single placard in sight.

In conclusion I think the punishment is just  for such an archaic evocation.

I expect he will be flagellating himself  vigorously in contrition.

Not that there's anything wrong with that....

Hmm, this looks suspiciously like posting by proxy, another clever effort by BBO to slip past any scrupulous mods who might visit here. That's highly unlikely I suppose.

More alarming is the information that he's been allowed to teach anyone anything. I though proponents of Dickensian education techniques had been shuffled off into administrative jobs long ago.

Anyway, didn't you say in another thread that you were off for a souvlaki at lunchtime yesterday?

I'm back from Tassie. In my opinion Uncle Bitter would make an excellent teacher. On that subject I noticed in Launceston there was a Steiner school.

My question is .........How is it we fought two world wars to have a German education system?

Xin. Chau Chairman Dee.

I have just been awoken by the voice of communist radio and big sister!!!

Bbos joke would fall very flat here.

Nodody talks out of turn.

You would love it!

Also , you can crack a beer in the AM without a batted eyelid in sight!

Gotta love the commos.

Ive had a chance to speak some terrible French already .

On the flight over I learnt more about the Silk Road.

There are pots and jars from the Middle East found in an excavation here that dates back to 8th C!

Still no huge take up of contraception in Saigon judging by the traffic.

And the other news I can report is that I'm a mutli- millionaire .

Ive been grasping my Dong with unrestrained joy!

Very pleasing that you have arrived in Vietnam without harm, Biff. You don't mention, though, whether you caused any on the way.

My sister was there a few years ago and loved it. She's always talking out of turn.

I expect your bad French to continue. It's our historic duty to offend against the language, especially wherever we find the remnants of their failed colonial enterprises.

I won't venture anywhere near the bad Dong puns. I presume you'll return with at least six months' supply of these. If not, you could bring back a stick-on Uncle Ho beard for BBO to wear to the first game of the season.

It's pure capitalist propaganda DC.

there have been way more than 50 serious crimes at the Gat.

Looks likeScott Cam and co are trying to push out the elite so Dee Jolly and the other tasteless bogans can ruin the joint with their faddish deco. 

Bourgeois scum!

They encourage the children to think outside the square .

Then they [censored] them if they do.

It's a uniquely German approach to innovation.

    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

    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
