  • 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.

Today my club died

Today my club gave up

Today my club failed to show me any respect

Today my heart was broken

Today we lost by 31 goals

Tomorrow they can have my scarf back

Tomorrow they can get stuffed

Tomorrow they can see the masses mobilise

Tomorrow they can see how the hurt the faithful

Tomorrow they will see passion when they get my scarf back

No seriously, a result like that needs action so us members (the stakeholders) have faith in the club. There's losses, and there is LOSSES!!!

To remove the coach alone is not going to fix the problem. Any player in the leadership group should stand down on Monday.

If there was any doubt before today it is now a fact - WE HAVE GONE BACKWARDS. I dont care if we win our last 3 games, take out the 2 gold coast wins (which may not happen) and we have no more wins than last year. The only difference this year is our average losing margin.

All assistant coaches reapply for your jobs at seasons end. Same for anyone in the footy department. We have the list, now let's give them a chance.

What makes me almost as sad as being reminded of today's result is 'supporters' talking about dropping their memberships. The strongest clubs, both on and off the field, are those with the highest membership numbers. Yes, winners are grinners, but it will only make our climb back up the ladder so much harder if we don't have strong membership numbers. I know it hurts after today's demolition but don't write off your memberships. We need them! And I'm speaking as a member who is holding a platinum membership ticket after 27 years consecutive membership. I've seen some shocking losses in that time and I've experienced wins that have taken me to the heights. I'll continue to put my hand in my pocket every year no matter who's in charge, either in the boardroom or on the field. Don't desert the Club. We need everyone on board more than ever or we'll be lost in the wilderness for another 10 years!

There isn't a Melbourne supporter who isn't gutted my today's result. It was a dismal performance and one I hope we never repeat again. We are angry and we have every right to be angry however if we all walk away we all lose. It might be hard to put it behind us but what we need to do is hold strong and support the club. That's why we are called supporters. While tomorrow's papers will rip us to shreds, the last thing the club needs is for memberships to be sent back. I will continue to support my club and continue to go and see my club play. The strongest clubs are the ones that are united!

spot on mate... spot on.

The club only dies if we stop supporting and on my end that's never gonna happen.

Im sick of this $hit.. i can put up with a loss..but not what happened today... and what really pisses me off is my fellow Demon supporters looking for positives is this crap, and making excuses, such as some of the boys might have had the flu... you are just making it worse..

Put your membership on the microwave, send back your scalfs and let this club know that decades of this is just not on..its a disgrace

The thought of rats jumping off in stormy weather, or when the going gets tough, too tough for some. Like today, too hard for some, but these types of days are footy dept's silver lining, because they show where the waters coming in from, so that it can be sorted.

We will rise from this, and this will be a major watershed in the rebuilding of our list & club...

I don't really know what to say, I am devastated. Bottom line is we choose to support our team and that means taking the thrashings as well as those magical wins. I could never not support the Dees but maybe we have to look at our supporter base, it's pretty ordinary. We just don't really have enough supporters who really care enough.

If you want to microwave your membership or throw away your scarf then maybe look at yourself not the Club.

See you later then.

Sure, it stinks right now to be a Melbourne supporter. Once again, we are the laughing stock of the AFL. Our future looks worse now than it did at the start of the year.

Your hypocrisy is startling. You complain about our players giving up, yet that is exactly what you're doing. Don't just walk away now. The last thing this club needs is for its fans to desert it. We might feel like walking away, but that achieves nothing, and it's getting through the pains like today that make the eventual success, whenever it comes, that much sweeter.

But if you wanna give up now, fine. Just don't come back.

    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,
