  • 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.

Leadership group announced; Grimes and Trengove co-captains

He looked at the umpire, then Riewoldt and finally to MacDonald. Calmly then threw the ball to the wrong guy. Our best chance in years to win a game against quality Vic opposition on away territory turned into dust. A win here might have set up our season after weeks of turbulence. Instead it was the beginning of gloom and fatalistic despair for us culminating in 186.

Wow. Thats the first time I have seen Davey's 50 metre penalty in another game be the catalyst for 186. Brilliant.

I was just hoping we are not going to see an "I believe in Aaron" campaign.

Or even worse agendas that deem to write off an MFC player without a scintilla of substance.

For those with bunched knickers regarding Mitch Clark, he's trained with us under Neeld for as long as every other player has. Neeld said it was a clean slate for everyone. If he and the other coaches

I don't know if it's been mentioned before but I reckon this tweet is all class. It's from Brad Green: Well played Brad and let's hope you're back to your absolute best in 2012.

I'm not in love with co-captains but I do love the choices. To those no longer in the leadership group ( particularly Beamer - probably the hardest done by) - it will show the character of each of th

So far IMO there has been no indication of him remotely embracing any personal challenge to uplift himself other than doing what he he's got to do to continue collecting his fat salary.

You won't get much of an indication from October through to February in the off-season. Only from occassional semi-biased reports.

It is up to him to provide the substance that only the money we pay him can buy. Not a scintilla for the past year and by all reports we are still waiting.

Go ahead, good for light entertainment. Do you think he will appreciate it?

One bad year and you want to hang him?

Right and he still has the opportunity to do so this year. Unless you have another substance in mind

And from all reports you have no basis to determine whether he will or not. And I am glad you are waiting....season has not started yet.

Bad years is what most others players had. His was a disgrace.

Quite. He did not play the day at Skilled Stadium but make no mistake he was the catalyst for 186.

Appreciation is difficult to get and easy to lose.

Davey has lost a great deal of it in one year...

Why can't we hope he gets it back?

As you said it is difficult to get. Perhaps harder the second time around. Factoring in age, injury, diminishing speed and skills, and attitude that has been NQR for the past year and it will be harder still. He will have to do a Lazarus. Slim chance.

Not sure there is anyone who does not want him to be back to his best rpfc.

I for one think we need his accurate kicking.

When is on song there is no finer kick in the side.

Rarely wastes a kick.

I just have big doubts!!!!

Side-lined leadership is fine. Bit if you were trying to get in the ones and had been told you had missed out as there was a player who had been picked instead because of his Leadershop qualities you would accept it graciously only if it was fine-line on ability and skill.

If it was more clear cut that you had better form, how would you feel?

Because you couldnt complain else people may reflect you did not possess "leadership skills"...

This very thing may occur in our half back line before we get very far into the season.

Feel free to correct me if I am worng Franky, but I was talking about not being picked for the LG (Beamer, Davey, Rivers, Green), not about whether a player is picked to play in a game. I do agree with what you have to say though.

Never mind missing out on leadership group. 2 senior Melb players (not Green) yet to prove worthy of a game. Coaching staff unimpressed.

Make of it whoever you think the "2" are.....

I'm sorry if I have ruined a page of speculation regarding who the 2 players are, but that is a fake Mike Sheahan account - just somebody taking the [censored]!

It would be nice to have an updated Demonland banner that included Grimes.

Having the captains as bookends of the playing group would work well. Either by tacking Grimes on to the end or replacing Moloney (no disrespect to Brent).

I'd have a go at doing it myself however Wild Turkey is currently impairing my ability to photoshop.

Frank Grimes would be better.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
