  • 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.

Is there any consideration to have a united stand at Jim's funeral tomorrow.

I think this is a great move, even if we consider meeting for a Demonland wake after the event. I also think we should consider getting Jaded or others to design a suitable tie or neck scarf for Demonlanders to wear and be noticed for this type of event.We could recognise each other and be a voice for each other.

Isn't it enough just to wear our scarf for Jimmy.

In thinking about tomorrow, I thought, it may be great to have a united front for this occasion. Your thoughts?

No offence, but I would have thought that every single person attending the service would be united in their grief?

Definately no offence taken, just thought we may consider a meeting place.

I just wish I could attend, but being in Sydney means I will just have to be there in spirit... I do however, hope to make it down for the round 4 clash with the Doggies. Are there any plans for some sort of a meet-up on that day?

I agree, we will be Melbourne supporters, united to honour a great player, President and person...it is not about us

x2.

Its fine to plan to meet afterwards but its not appropriate to draw attention to yourself at a funeral. Its time to honour and pay respect to someone who has an important place in MFC history. Wearing the MFC scarf should be sufficient.

They are expecting a crowd of 10,000 at Federation Square tomorrow. I think it would be very difficult to find anyone.

With all due respect to savoydee there was no turning of attention to oneself she wassimply suggesting to meet up with some demonlanders and mourn with them. No different to meeting your family at the wake... Fine if it's not for you but don't make it out like she's got sinister intentions.

For me it's an appropriate time to celebrate his life where I truly believed was where Jimma start came from in Australia and that's this weekend. An MFC game at the !Mecca of football MCG

A united walk to the G from the Cricketers Arms would be a good time to celebrate his time on earth and the holy ground across the road!! And would be welcomed to meet other brethren b4 the season proper

I will post later in the week on this, when the times appropriate and hope you'll join us

All the best trow to the humble loyal brethren out there and RIP JimmyS

How on earth did you get "sinister intentions" out of what I wrote???? It was simply the choice of the words "united front" that I was responding to... I certainly never insinuated that savoydee had any "sinister intentions" in saying that... but I have no issue with saying that yours is an overreaction.

Chook you obviously knew Jimmy personally & well. And if you did you should be front and centre ! Were all grieving mate

Me on the other hand other than meeting him a few times felt that my best MFC times was together with my fellow demons brethren watching and cheering the incredible feats of the great man. Funerals are to share & remmbere good times with friends and reflect on life So get off your high horse & stop being a morose twit

Wow a lot of fussing over semantics in this thread guys.

But it sounds like we've sorted things.

A drink after together sounds like a great idea if someone wants to make a suggestion, unfortunately I can't be there.

Otherwise we can band together for round 4 because I can't imagine the great man disapproving. Everything he did in life was about getting people together.

No more picking on each other either way, it's ridiculous. Funerals can mean whatever you want as a personal thing, as long as you respect others beliefs.

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.
