  • 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.

No redleg I did not know they were your horses.

But that is the story of my punting life.

Unfortunatly it is still a better story than my success in following the Dees

Well that is it for 2011. Just to add the icing to the cake, the game cut out on my recording 2.5 minutes from the end. Trade and draft week to look forward to.

By the way, were the umpires paid employees of Port Power. 28 frees to Port and 13 to us, 6 goals to Port from frees and at least another 2 goals to Port after a Dees free was ignored and a Mark of the Year contender to Howe 10 metres out not paid and then a goal to them on the rebound..

Well I guess that brings another wonderful season by the MFC to an end.

And what a wonderful year it was.

We played on average a lot worse than 2010, 6 - 9+ goal losses vs 2 in 2010.

We got thrashed by the age old enemy.

We went into the record books with a 186 point belting.

We sacked a coach during the year.

We ended the season with losses to Richmond and Port.

Our Captain was next to useless for the majority of the year

and the vice captain could not make the side for the last round through poor form.

At the finish 13th on the ladder.

Yes all in all a wonderful year.

But in true Demon fashion there is always next year and the next year and the next year and the next year!

If not for the fact that we let Junior go in a messy way, we would be seriously looking at getting rid of our captain and vice captain. Wont happen, but on form it should.

Had a sneak look at that other thread!

It astounds me how much can be written about nothing new.

Its basically I think yes and I think no and that is how it has been since it started. Lot more info on this thread such as horse racing, bananas, frustration with the Dees.

speaking of which what is the current price?

believe it or not I had some for fathers day breakfast.

Present to me by my daughter.

We had a good laugh when I said Redleg would be impressed.

They Looked at me as though I came from Mars.

It took some explaining.

Then Perhaps I do!

I know what you mean. I get funny looks when I say to someone I post on a Melbourne FC fan site and enjoy reading it.

I think bananas are about $9.99 a kilo at the moment.

Not sure why it is assumed you have to be under 30 to post on a web site.

Well my present was a bit more expensive than I thought.

Never thought I would see the day when Bananas would be top of my wish list!

Really?

You tell people you post here?

I've been an administrator of this site for almost six years, and the first time I ever actually told anyone about it (most who know me well figured it out) was about six months ago. I felt like such a retarded dweeb. Will never do again.

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
