    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.

All supporters should not turn up to next weeks game against Carlton.

Send a message to the club and players.

Why should we turn up each week,when the players don't turn up each week to play.

Myself I,d rather stay at home and stick pins in my eyes,than watch a team that won't even have a crack.

Sadly I don't think you would need to organise a boycott to stop people attending.

I am shifting in my opinion as to the role of us as supporters. I really don't think we seek enough accountability from the players and board, we politely wait for things to turn around. Are we similar to the polite nice young men the club has recruited?

Kicking and screaming may not be the solution but I do wonder if it would serve more purpose than dutiful blind support.

Pretty average suggestion! Having said that I'm not taking time off work and travelling 2 hours each way to watch what they dish up! I have been going to the footy as an 8 year old since 1987 and I've never been more dissapointed then I am right now.

It only hurts the club mate, and the club is it's members, you, me and everyone else on this forum.

Time for the fans to get the whip out. For the clubs own good it needs a massive shakeup and scare. The fans have given a 100% for zero return. It didn't take the bomber fans long to get their message across because they Don't put up with crap like we do.

Not going does nothing, though I feel your pain.

I'd love it if all Melbourne supporters turned their backs on the players before the game, half time and at the quarter breaks and if the few supporters remaining at the final siren could do it after the game a pretty strong point would be made.

Would only work if all did it, but...

Daz, think yourself lucky you missed the early 80's & all of the 70's

This disappointment has a familiar feel to it!

Simply can't get my head around this has been allowed to happen again.

The only single remaining factor that is keeping me afloat in my love for this club is the memory of 1987.

The excitement & emotion was almost impossible to put in to words. I crave the next step of actually winning a GF.

Sadly I think we have another long & tortourus road ahead.

What a stupid idea. Seriously. My biggest concern at the moment is players aren't turning up and you want us to go mute? We should be going to the game and expecting to see improvement week in week out. Not turning up is totally soft and indicative of a poor culture.

yeah I was going to bring up the Hawthorn game too,

the boycott is already in place, even the cheersquad barely attended that game.

Is it true that the half time contest when fans held up a Hertz banner had to be abandoned because they couldn't find any Melbourne supporters?

Screw boycotting. Fly the flag.

Seriously.

The garbage we dish up is just that. Garbage. Of the highest order.

Who are the fans that you respect the most, apart from Melbourne?

For me, it's Richmond supporters. Richmond haven't played finals since 2001. Yet they turned up week-in, week out.

Screw boycotting. Doesn't get you anywhere. Show up, be loud, be proud for the club rather than for the players. It's about the team, Norm, Ron, Robbie, the 50s, the history of this team. Not the current blokes impersonating a footy side. That's why we need to continue to go along, to show that through thick and thin we are there for the MFC. None of this pissing off to the snow business.

That suggestion makes me ill. Dont you care about how our supporters are perceived? The coaches and players are copping enough grilling from the media. I`d absolutely hate it if the media decided to have a crack at us, the supporters. We`ve been here for Melbourne in the past, we`re here for Melbourne in the present and we`re here for Melbourne in the future and enternity.

    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
