  • 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 would have thought this week would have been ideal timing. We are playing Collingwood on Saturday night with TV coverage only 4 or 5 games are covered this week, followed by Hawthorn. If a sponser wanted to get exposure this would be the week to kick it off.

Aaah Conflusios say!

Hoo da fluk ar Corringwood and a Horforn.

Ah supot da Dwagons.

I was on an Emirates 777 last night, they must have the narrowest asile's of any aircraft I have been on.

And I should know I spend hours chasing my Grand daughter up and down.

It essentially comes down to the carrier.

Boeing regards the typical cabin layout as 9 abreast seating (3-3-3 formation or 2-5-2 formation) in economy class for the 777 family but many carriers like to cram 'em in with 10 (3-4-3 formation) - including Emirates.

This is where I seem to disagree with most who are posting on here. I do not think it is impatient to expect to have a FOJ sponsor on board for the start of competitive games.

I think every other club in the league has one, we do not, and it is poor management by the club to be heading into March without it. I do not know a professional team in any code in the land that has had to start a year playing competitive televised games without a sponsor on the prime position of the uniform.

It could be we are trying to pull of a major chinese sponsor and its worth waiting to get a foot in a market like that. This will have fans like you scratching your head at what to hate today

Correct and I think the seats are narrower as well.

Cam Schwab said it would be settled before the commencement of the season.

I guess that means up to 3 more weeks of sweating beads for those on tender hooks.

The Demon Shop told me that Cam is waiting for this thread to hit one thousand posts before any announcement will be made.

I got a call today asking me if I would like to participate in one of those next Monday evening but politely declined, would be good if you would share a bit about it when you finish I might reconsider if it's worthwhile.

Must have been that highly unprofessional exhibition game that we played in China that helped seal the deal .

Thank god we didn't waste money trying to keep little ignorant bogans from the obesity belt of the outer east at our club .

Great news again -love it . Just hope we can get a few free flights to Perth out of them as well .Could save us big bucks .

As it is with avatars, my mind went directly to James Van Der Beek being at the club.

And it made me sad.

It was a bit of fun. Mainly just talking about why we were members and what it means. Talking about footy for two hours which comes easy for me. Would have done it for free but a Coles Myer gift card didn't suck. 7 other crazy dees fans to banter with. If you have the time it's not the worst thing you could do. A good experience to sit in the club board room and just imagine some of the discussions that would have taken place in there.

    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

    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,
