  • 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.

The funniest "I wish I hadn't said that" line tonight goes to Nathan Jones who on accepting his award said.. "And thanks to my girlfriend for putting up with a little [censored] for a lot of the year

The main thing about Beamers speech (and I regret not filming it) was that he is gutted not to be playing finals and that it kills him to watch the finals each year and not be apart of it. He said he

Seems kinda strange to me to clash with one of the Preliminary Finals. (Did we schedule it deliberatley, so our new Coach wouldn't be tempted to go to the match...? LOL)

Prediction - Moloney easily from Jones, Sylvia, Martin, Watts, Trengove, McKenzie, Garland, Gysberts, and Frawley. The last nine in no particular order.

As an aside - I had trouble editing a post. Wouldn't do anything when I saved changes...

I don't know... I get the feeling it could go either way between Moloney and Jones - Jones has been Mr Consistent this year, while Moloney went through a very quiet patch mid-season. Too close to predict for mine (but then again, I'm usually wrong).

If you haven't been to a B&F before you don't know what you're missing.

It's always a sensational night (I've been the last 20 years or so).

I guarantee the hairs on your neck will stand on end when you hear Cam Schwab speak.

Unashamedly passionate, no notes, all from the heart.

Great night. Was scheduled for either early september or 2nd October depending on whether or not we were in the finals. Got a bit tricky when we were still in with a chance up until rd 23. In the end this Friday was the only date available. Not the best night to have it. Unfortunately I have a prior commitment that night and am unable to attend this year. Have a great night all that are going. I'll be checking here for updates.

My prediction is Moloney/Jones (can't really split them) followed by Watts, Martin, Trengove, Frawley, Sylvia, Gysberts, McKenzie and Garland. Times like these I wish I was in Melbourne. Would love to go. Have to start planning now to go to next year.

I will be there. My brother sponsors one of the players, and he would be taking his lovely partner, however she is a mad Hawk, and has to go to the game. So I get the call up!!!

Went last year and had a ball.

Had a good chat to a few players, but I felt a bit strange standing around in a line of 10 people waiting to chat to the players.

I am hoping that JT wins, I am a bit biased. However I think Jonesy may get it this year.

They do have a top 5 tipping comp on the night and you need to get them in order. I am not sure if anyone got them right last year.

There was a winner last year. It may be a tad harder this year.

I used to go when I lived in Melbourne many moons ago as Johnno was my fave player and he often featured in the count.

Now I would love to go but its a bit out of my budget at the mo when I have to add an airfare from the GC on top.

Hope you all have a ball and yes, I think Moloney will get it.. I would love it if we could get a video of his speech as it would be from the heart and quite spine chilling too..

Good luck to all players..

It's sure to be a strange atmosphere - genuinely bitter sweet with the gloom surrounding a poor season, a sacked coach and departing young star meeting the optimism generated by the appointment of a popular new coach all set against the backdrop of a seriously ailing and much loved president. The club is at a genuine crossroads (when hasn't it?) and the tone of the B & F will reflect this. Wish I could be there.

It's been an emotional roller coaster ride from the Cats game right up till now. I went last year and loved it, but couldn't get fired up for this one, with all the DB sacking stuff and TS circus. But I'm rapt with the recent changes. Still, it takes a while to get over old relationships, so I too definitely feel it would be strange & bitter sweet. I'd rather get along to the B&F again when the recent past is a memory rather than a still-healing scar.

Would love to get highlights throughout the night if any posters can oblige please. Any mention of Jimmy gets top priority.

Vice-president Don McLardy addresses the 950 Demon faithful. It's been a tough year with a lot of challenges. He takes a shot at Scully - we dealt with the situation with professionalism and integrity (implying GWS and those associated with Scully didn't). Don says Jim won't stand down as long as he can stand up. He's not the type to surrender. And with that, he introduces Jim to the stunned fans.

Jimmy simply continues to be inspirational.

Two players on crutches Austin Wonaeamirri and Lucas Cook. Of course, if a certain former player who departed a couple of weeks ago was here, then I reckon there's a chance he might need them as well. OK, let's move on!

The new coach is about to make his first public appearance.

"It's been a big week in my life."

"I'm going to keep doing things my way".

    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,
