  • 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.

I've been a member for the last 10 years with this man, I feel his pain, but don't stress it to this extreme.

I guess it's an interesting question. How mad can you get at a game of football?

I secretly filmed him during the Richmond game we couldn't get to last week...

Hahahahahaha that was amazing.

Poor soul, I feel his pain. Was he yelling at them to man up?! Epic!

yep, it was the no pressure corralling and the fact we where about to lose to Richmond that set him off.

Mind you he was like this during the Carlton game as well. And many many more of course haha

I don't get that bad. For me, I have far more important and stressful things in my life (not to say you all don't) and I'm just someone that can shake my head and walk away because at the end of the day it's just a game.

But yeah, I am deeply frustrated at this club now. I will not stand for another 50 years without a flag. I won't put up with that. Call me fickle, but there's only so much you're willing to commit. I can dedicate my time elsewhere if the club doesn't perform with this rebuild. This is their last chance for me.

My wife found it quite comforting to know that she's not married to the only one!

Beat me to it DOF. The wife has seen those moments although the arrival of children has seen it somewhat tempered for fear of her wrath should I wake them from slumber..... Or the boy starts copying me!!!

Go Dees!

Ha! This is exactly what I do! I can't control myself, bashing the bejesus out of the couch with the remote... or the volume of my voice.

When I'm at the ground though I am usually just in stunned silence. You know the worst possible result is coming. It's inevitable....but you don't want to show your pain to opposition supporters.

Aaaah football. :wub::mad:

HaHaHa! that video is epic....you really should send it to the club so they "really understand" the serious pain we go through.

I felt like that in the first Wet Coke game this year, before this website went into meltdown!! That sort of calmed me down a bit.

We need a top line Coach NOW...the learner bit is over.

I showed this to my dad and he said to me "you know you're just as bad and some days I'm actually embarrassed to be seating next to you at the footy".

A crazed fan not even a father could love :(

Enjoy them jaded no matter what, time passes very quickly.

my dad is long gone but I enjoyed those days with dad more than any since in spite of the results.

Early days were trips from the country.

Then he would come to melbourne to go with me.

Time moves on and now I go with a couple of friends most weeks but it is never the same.

Yep send it to the club, I thought I was bad but good to see others get frustrated.

MY brother literally picked up my TV once fortunately the window was closed.

I used to be very much like this poor man. It weas getting bad for my health and sanity. However i learnt a lot over the last 5 years about the goings on at our club being out of my control and unable to meet my standards.

Not to say im still not passionate and involved, i just deal with the failure and frustration differently these days.

WOW.

I find it hard to understand how anyone can react like that.

I'm passionate and I'd often love to be out there, feeling like I'd run through walls to win the match... but I don't act like a spoilt child.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
