  • 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.

Posters who pretend to be Scottish when they're probably not.

Is Joel McDonald Scottish?

Is Ronald McDonald Scottish?

Am I pretending to be Scottish? No. Although I like a drink and a fist fight like the Scottish do. How do I change my name?!

It's no good blaming the umpires . "They're only human!"

Referring to you? You know I quoted Yoda.. yet your trying to bait me (typical). Yeah I reckon you're referring to me.

I wont be alone in my view that you are the most argumentative poster on this site, and your incessant need to have the last word shows how childish you really are.

If anyone disagrees with your point of view you will not accept it. For the record I have accounted for myself quite nicely when engaged in discussions with you, but people give up with you when they realise they will not get anywhere- it's like arguing with a 15 year old!

Learn to accept other people and their opinions otherwise give up posting on a public forum you arrogant [censored]. I feel so sorry for your wife if you have one!

Like when you contradicted yourself in a matter of half a dozen posts and when I pulled you up on it you come the old I can't be bothered arguing with someone as stupid as you.

You're right. I won't engage you again, lesson learned.

I can go the journey with anyone son, but sometimes it's better to go separate ways when you find out your fellow journeyman is a deluded inept plonk.

And that time has come. I suggest you read over the entire thread and see where things went bad for you.

If you have to resort to inane insults then i guess that confirms you've got nothing.

Can't wait to see this kid crack the team he's going to be a ripper! Screams class!

Be that as it may Darling is physically ready to play now, and Cook isn't.. so it is kind of hard to judge Cook at all right now. Will have to re-visit in a few years.

Well which one is it, you seem a bit confused there?

Perhaps you should have a re read?

BTW I've been married for over 40 years probably about the same number of boyfriends you've had in the last two.

Read the whole thread and stop taking things out of context. Is that all you have to hang your hat on? You were the one suggesting Cook is no good because he can't compete with Darling at this stage which is moronic to say the least.

Here we go, another argument. This is why you are frustrating. And the fact that I don't want to keep this inane back and forth going with you is not a sign of defeat it's realising there is no point arguing with someone who is so steadfast in their opinion that they are impervious to fact.

But it doesn't matter anymore because I'm doing myself a favour and ignoring your posts. Adios!

Before you go read the thread yourself and just see if you can find anywhere in that thread where I said Cook is no good, you won't find it dopey because i never said it.

You just keep getting it wrong.

Any number greater than 100 when a % symbol is added. For example, player saying "I'm going to give it 110%".

Why not 120%? or 1,000%? I'd be happy if each gave 100% for 100% of the time.

I'm 150-200% happy with the comment you just made. A thousand points to anyone who gets that reference.

Posters who assume the role of famous figure and fail to do that character justice.

More like ... posters who expose their feigned intelligence by demonstrably failing to grasp the meaning of a simple word.

Big blokes don't get any smaller the longer the game goes on.

"your Gary Abletts" "your Ron Barassis" "your Wayne Careys" "your Robbie Flowers"etc etc

I guess in the case of the first two cases, there were actually two, and they all could play a bit.

Along with the grammer references.

Some, including myself, have been pulled up a few times with the, resigned - re-signed, mistake.

Sorry to be really pedantic, but it is not grammer, but grammar.

    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,

    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
