    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.

Went to absolute sensational gig at the Caravan Club on Saturday night - Gregory Page - solo.

Only 40 people in the audience - must be the time of the year. He was captivating and made you feel he was singing to you and you alone.

( any Sydney'ites - he is on at Leadbelly Newton on the 12th Jan - if roots ( if 1930's jazz is your thing - he is the bomdiggety)

Not sure if anyone has seen this...most of you will know the song and have seen some versions.

...but this is a most fantastic clip, really well done.

It took me some time into it before I realised what was happening.

A brilliant performer... and physically he looks like a cross between Sean Connery and Mel Gibson.

A couple from one of my favourite bands from the 70's ... the first track is more meaningful whilst the 2nd is a rocky little number that the band obviously enjoyed doing (watch for Shirl's signature move, 2 mins in)

This is late news, but RIP Robbie Souter who passed away last week on the 11th May... he was the original drummer with the Dynamic Hepnotics, as well as playing with Mental As Anything, Slim Dusty and numerous small Sydney bands.  Was a lovely guy and will be sorely missed by the many who knew him.

okay...so I was interested and went along to see The Tiger Lillies on Sunday night. They have been doing their act for 27 years !

Truly bizarre and truly brilliant. (most of the night I was thinking - "what the hell am I watching?")

New kids on the block ( a statement - not the horrible boy band)

If anyone gets a chance to see the Teskey Brothers I highly recommend they do. They are the bom-diggerty.

Great Post, Nut. Me love The Teskeys.

Saw them at the Holler festival at the caravan club on a warm Saturday afternoon. They blew everyone away.

They are selling out show after show  - after seeing them I understand why.

Devastated at Chester Bennington's death at age 41 ( apparently suicide). I am a huge Linkin Park fan - especially their early work  - nothing quite matches up to Hybrid Theory. RIP Chester

Double devastated - Not only Chester from LP died this week, The Caravan Music Club is shutting its doors from 2018.

It is highly successful, the sound is great and the room is great however it is in the hall out back of the Oakleigh RSL and the Caravan Club proprietor wants to invest money to make it better but they are not interested and he also wants to take over the running of the bar ( which is diabolically slow and inefficient) - whilst giving the RSL the profits from the bar, Again they weren't interested. I respect returned servicemen but geez the board of this RSL are crusty old farts.

Not many bands go from playing a cider festival in Wonga Park to selling out 4 gigs at the Corner in 6 months.

I agree with Nut - check 'em out if the chance presents. Their album is worth the investment too. Going the vinyl seemed a good idea at the time but it's a [censored] to play in the car !

Reckon the OCRSL will regret this in the not too distant future. It will be sad to see that great old room & stage fall into disuse when it's been so vibrant. No doubt the Caravan Club will rise from these ashes but where ?????

The roll call of acts they've had there is amazing. A couple of my fave gigs there were The Black Sorrows where the indefatigable Joe Camelleri spent a Sunday arvo blowing the roof off the joint and Joe Creighton's "Into the Mystic" show which is a cracker.

Peter Foley spent big money getting the sound just right and the artists love him because he looks after them ( apparently most venues don't). 

I know he is actively out looking for a new venue but it is a real shame to me as there is something really special about the room - it just works.

Went to the gig last Saturday night. Just Jeff, his guitars and his gizmo's ! He was freakin' amazing.  If there is a better guitarist in Australia I would like to know his name.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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

    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
