  • 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.

Get Well Jimmy

Heartbreaking news. Keep fighting Jim, you don't deserve this. It makes the stuff at the footy club seem so insignificant.

Get well Jim, an inspirational man on and off the football field. Through the darkest times in recent years, you have been a beacon of hope. Your commitment to this club through a time of personal hardship has been unheralded. Your fighting spirit embodies everything this club can only hope to be in the future; a future that would have been all but impossible without you.

Focus on getting yourself well Jim. You have gone far beyond what anybody could have asked.

Well its been a crap week at the footy club and now this just makes it worse. Jim seriously I know the club gives you something to focus on and take your mind of your battle but you dont need this stress. Its a shame the players dont play with the same fight and courage you do.

Hopefully this one can be removed and at least it isnt another tumour on the brain. Thoughts are with you and your family.

Absolutely heartbreaking news today. I guess we all know the direction this horrible story is taking, but don't want to see the truth. All of us, our thoughts and our prayers are with you big man. Be selfish for once in your life and look after yourself and your family first.

I hope those inside the MFC take a good hard look at the last few months....It sure hasn't helped Jimmy in his fight

Now grow up the lot of you, and function like a Club...Give Stynesy some energy FFS.

Don't let last monday be the last time Jimmy was seen.

I know it's (footy) is only a game, but as a Melbourne supporter this has been one helluva week, for all the wrong reasons...

Big Jim has put so much time, effort, energy and emotion into the MFC. If there's one thing that will put a smile on his face at the moment, it's the players coming out on the w/e and making a serious statement. How they go about it, I really don't care, so long as the 'footy world' is left stunned.

My thoughts are with Jimmy and his family.

Jimmy,

You are, and will always be an absolute legend of our club. It is absolutely inspirational stuff that you continue to fight for our club, whilst continually battling for your own life. Impossible to describe how great you truly are.

For no-one else but yourself and your family, we hope to see you back on top again soon.

    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

    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.

    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
