  • 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.

Yes The Ox did get stuck in, i remember that well. I was talking more of the press articles, all the journalist's tip toe around the issue considering when Phil signed..& when Tom came home from China.

The Ox was spot on and little Tom knew it.

The ox has a way of telling the truth . Scully is like Tom Cruise by comparison-ie he can't handle it .Poor little rat .

Not a person in the footy community with half a melon would look at this bloke and not think "scumbag".

Funny you should say that .

The atmosphere was picnic blankets and fun , even the Giants fans knew the serious stuff was to come a little later in the year.

Only a Collingwood supporter who abused Scully when he arrived at the game looked to be taking it seriously.

An interesting article from of the Sunday Age on GWS recruiting and an expected Victorian counterattack Fear not Victoria

Good article that.

I'm looking forward to Tomlinson getting homesick. Maybe we can grab him at the end of next year.

Er, in that article I think Niall referred to Clark as a 'good, ordinary player.'

Condemned by faint praise.

I think this view is widespread in the footy world and I hope Mitch spreads wide the footy world and shoves that view up it's .... .

I must admit to waiting for the match tonight to start. New Foxtel and such.

There was no joy in seeing football, I was surprised how much venom I felt for Scully. I just looked for him the whole quarter then turned off. It brought me right back to one Brian Wilson playing for St Kilda shaking his fist at the members after kicking a goal circa 1991.

Franky, Willo was only ordering 2 coffees from the member's canteen. Nothing sinister in that!

''You look at it from my side but also from the side of the supporters. People are very passionate about their clubs and they obviously don't want to lose players. The supporters kind of think they own you if you play for the club, but that's footy. They pay their membership and they are part of the club, they are the life of the club, you need them to survive, but they probably didn't look at it from my position. It's a great opportunity for me to come up here and be part of something special. A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.''

I find that comment really offensive, why doesn't he just shut his mouth and stop talking rubbish?

Of course we can all see it from his position, we always have. He doesn't seem to understand that it was the way he went about it that caused so much anger. As the other posts have mentioned, there doesn't seem to be a hint of regret there at all. Completely deluded.

The point that annoys me regarding people's view on Clark is that he is not worth the money we have paid.

I think it is fair to say that Clark has been 'good ordinary player' based on his past few seasons.

No doubt we are overpaying based on what he has produced as a forward so far.

We needed a big forward who could take a contested mark and create a contest.

We had to overpay to get him to the club.

But the part that others forget is that Clark is 25 years old, 200cm tall. He will be coming into his prime right now.

If other talls are a guide he will be a lot better in the next few years than what he has displayed so far.

Most football fans don't seem to understand that he has not yet peaked.

What I saw of him against Tarrant last year made me think he was worth plenty because he showed some fighting spirit .Just loved watching him take the pith out of

Taz and beat him at the same time .Still raw but can lead , mark and kick .Very happy to have him on board and I'll pay the Skype bill for him to call home .

I dont think we made a mistake or paid to much .Seen as the coup of the off-season .

Won't be long & they will all find out!

Clark will love the size of the MCG, let's not forget that. Room to move. Not that the Gabba is small, but playing 14-15 games a year on the 'G would have been a strong selling point.

He surely has mild Asperger's. Someone should really tell him to shut up.

I have heard from my Sydney friends that Tom Scully has been given a new nickname. It is " Skunk",

take off from father, new hair cut resembles it and the way he played in his first NAB cup- he went underground..Comments please !

rather than "be part of something ordinary at MFC" eh Tom?

    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

    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,
