  • 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.

I don't think Jose/Artie/e25/Keyser is Dr.Who...

I've inboxed him to that effect, but he doesn't seem to accept it...

waffle-waffle-waffle - back to maths class next week for you. I'm off to play footy with my mates - you stick with the geeks. This is a football forum - not a chess forum.

Just because some people can see straight thru you - settle down and grow some balls, your a "big boy" now.

At least I'd get a kick - at least I know what its like to play this game - you on the other hand should stick with P-K4 why dont you play with rpfc - and leave us alone to talk about the footy.

So Darling who has cemented a first 18 spot in a top 4 side is an unknown quantity whereas Cook who might as well be nicknamed the "ghost who walks" for all we have seen of him was the right choice and bound to come on and star? Hilarious.

I don't know if you watched the Geelong Hawthorn match on Sunday. Tom Hawkins. Drafted in 2006. It's now 2012.

Cook was AA CHF. He earned the right to go at pick 12, and he's earned the right to be given some time before we start passing judgement. If 6 years after he was drafted he can manage 12 marks and 22 disposals against a likely Grand Finalist - as Hawkins did on Sunday - fine with me.

On half of these threads we have people criticising us because we let the likes of Thompson and Jolly go too soon, and the other half we have people who can't wait to shunt everyone out the door after 2 or 3 seasons if they aren't already AA.

For a player you are not "sold on" you certainly give him some superb wraps above in relation to Fork 'em's quote.

How much better should Darling get? Hasn't put a foot wrong yet in my eyes.

We blew it.

I notice you edited your contribution. Seeing you're obviously giving some consideration to what you post online, just thought I'd point out that "area's" in your tag is just a simple plural, and doesn't actually need the apostrophe.

No need to thank me.

Let me tell you a little footy story - you might appreciate it you might not - In my very first game of senior football I was playing on Shane Baldwin - Carlton Under 19 (brother of Jason ex Fitzroy player - Shane was better than Jason but liked a drink and the girlies - sure he wont mind me saying that) I knew Shane as a quick winger/forward that worked hard one-way. So I ended up kicking the first goal of the game - so - Shane & I spent the rest of the game "legally" going hard at the footy & one another.

But the moral of the story is - we where the best of footy mates after the game. So maybe there is hope for you & me - maybe there isn't - only time will tell. I bumped into Shane about 4-5 years ago we had a great laugh about it.

Keep "footy" punching.

Yep, perhaps it's time for me to cool my jets on this. I was literally frothing at the mouth after reading Niall's article this morning.

Keep Frothing at the mouth Ron!! You aint alone Brother.

We recruited a bunch of kindergarten kids, trouble is it was onto a list with no leaders.....

Thou art Melbourne supporter.

Therfor thou must use correct punctuation at all times or run thy risk of pompous punctuation police displaying thy superior football knowledge by pointing out thou heinus crime to thou.

You have been fascinated with me in this short flamethrowing mission you have been on - did rpfc belittle an argument of a previous incarnation of you in the past or something?

People can hold grudges on here...

Me, I can barely remember who is accusing me of what - I have a few people that say I carry water for The Administration, and a few who think I am unfairly harsh on everyone in The Administration.

Anyway, I guess the lesson is - if you write that someone isn't making sense simply by repeating the word 'waffle' three times - you look foolish.

As Macca would say, and always does say even when it isn't appropriate...

Cheers.

you would have to be an absolute moron to think we have spent 48 years 'picking the wrong blokes'

in all that time we've had Lyon, Stynes, Schwarz and Flower. I'd go a level down and add the likes of Viney, Neitz, Jako and McDonald. That's it.

what are the odds of picking 99% duds

Clearly this desert of quality is a problem with the process not the original product

    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,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    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.
