  • 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.

Sorry about that, Chief. 'Obtuse' is becoming my middle name?

Commodore = @Redleg(refer my earlier (obtuse) posts)

I was proposing he dreamt his encounter with S.Freud.

S.Freud wrote on the interpretation of dreams.

I was proposing that, in wading through this thread, you would have earned a doctorate in the advanced psychology you suggested was needed to do so.

I thus threw it to you to interpret Redleg's dream.

See, that wasn't so hard!😉

Was it?😮

I was actually thinking that’s what it might mean. Except that I wasn’t. 🤥 
As for interpreting @Redleg’s dream, if his dreams are even remotely like his comments in this thread then that’d be a solid No Thanks!

I have been ripping up the floor of my tiled back room since the thread started, looking for the long lost  key to winning the flag. I stopped after the GF and have started retiling the floor. Who needs the “key” anymore?

Define ‘OK’  
Just because I appear to be alive and well, doesn’t necessarily mean I’m not mentally scarred beyond reparation. 🤪

I’m only up to page 33 and the bananas discussion has only just taken off. But I tell you what, Tim… this thread should be made compulsory reading for students of advanced psychiatry. Seriously. 

I am pleased to see your studies are continuing WCW. However, to save you some time, I have a suggestion.

Instead of reading the entire 1000 + pages, simply focus on my modest offerings. They are scholarly, socially inclusive and tasteful. I am certain you will be a different person for the experience.

I liked BBOs admission theat his offerings weren "modest".

Now back to the footy.

What are the predictions for new players to play their first MFC game this year?

I think we can treat Dunstan as a given.

I will start it off with Laurie. 

Quite likely all of them courtesy of Omicron.

Didn’t know where to post this, figured here’s as good as anywhere else. 
Are we all watching Ash Barty’s AO final atm? Her opponent, American Danielle Collins, has not only an Australian connection, but an MFC connection. Her coach-turned-boyfriend, Tom Couch (son of Geelong great, Paul Couch) played three games for Melbourne in, I think, 2012. 
Yeah nah, ignore that. Seems there’s confusion as to who her boyfriend is. Some think it’s Tom Couch, some think it’s an American model. Anyways, as you were.

On the OFF topic above.

I know little of womens tennis but I did follow it the last couple of years due to the edifying and uplifting influence of gambling.

Needless to say ,I had a Multi  Motza going in to Danielle to win her match but despite her position as red hot favouriote she lost to a short,powerful Russian and looked overweight during the process. I dubbed her the Collins Class Submarinbe after that effort but now i'm aware she was carrying a severe illness so she shall be forgiven.

As shall that wimpy little Australian swimmer that broke every sprint swimming record in the year leading up to the Olympics before he decided to choke and cost me a small fortune in another multi.

Forgive and forget I always say.Or forgive at the very least.

What a despicable fellow you are Biffen!

Your weakness for sins of the flesh is well documented and your predilection for substance abuse is infamous.

Now you add gaming! You choose to ignore the wonderful spirit of jingoism that surrounds the tennis in favour of your venal needs!

Disgraceful!

Red, I am deeply wounded.

After all my years of valuable and profound intellectual contributions to this thread you still misrepresent my tastes in vino.

I hereby declare and  caste aside all doubts, Chateau Cardboard has no place in The Manor's fine collection of plonk.

Indeed picket! An astute observer like yourself might also have guessed that one of those two was a little ditty  from the early 80's by the oddly apparelled Devo .

    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

    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.
