  • 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.

The End of Demonland .... Almost

Life member. I'd like to reach out to all the lurkers such as myself who don't have much to say but read and therefore benefit, daily. Give to the site that keeps on giving (ludicrous trade scenarios, ranting and raving, extremely premature draft prospects and crusty old farts with no optimism mixed with a bunch of school kids on holidays). It's all good, unfortunate player bashing aside, most of the time and well worth being a part of. Put your money where your keyboards are!

I've just made a subscription, the donations page wouldn't work. Your hard work is probably taken for granted by many on here (including me), thanks for everything you've done for this site.

Hey Demonland...maybe introduce another level... Like all good marketing...upsell !!! lol

Maybe

Annual..and thats fantastic to those that preferor afford this

Life... an honorable option.

but in deferance to our monicker and situation maybe another grade:

I humbly suggest. Hell... Member of Hell....it does as you would think come ...after Life..

Just like the MFC you could offer the opportunity to part with more money for the greater good demon_smile.gif I would...Hell, I spend enought time here..lol

just an idea demon_smile.gif lol

Whilst I agree and would definitely welcome larger contributions I feel that if people are going to take out some type of subscription then they should get something in return. Our subscriptions currently offer the removal of advertisements from the site as well as the use of a mobile skin for smartphones. Adding a package that is more than Life without adding another benefit to the donator just doesn't sit well with me. We do however offer the donate (any amount) link (now added as a link between Subscriptions and Demons below the Demonland Banner) for those that have previously taken out a scubscription and would like to contribute again or for those that would rather donate something under $20.

Thanks again for keeping this place going.

I think we should do a 'pledge' week every year where we try and get new members to pay up and Lifers to give something.

Maybe coincide with a yearly Etihad game.

'Go To Hell - Give To Demonland'

I don't think the two are interrelated - I just wanted to use the term 'go to hell' as a double (or triple) entendre.

PA at Demonland should not be personally out of pocket for Co-Ordinating such a forum. To the Contrary IMO. He or She should be subserdized. How about a fundraiser at Bentleigh Club? A face to face night throwing around all the issues going on at MFC.

While I disagree with the locking of certain opinion blogs without notice the Demonland Site is generally a great place to go to Vent out or praise our beloved.

How about we all start by pledging $50 and after that look to an annual fundraiser?

What about all the intelligentsia ,inciteful comment ,analysis ?

Crusty old farts and schoolkids on holidays aside-you have to admit that the writing here is at least as well researched and written as The Herald Sun-by which I mean ,not at all .

Totally agree. I think we all need a reminder every now and then on the cost and time that is involved in keeping the Demonland world turning. When I first joined I was completely ignorant to these facts. I don't think anyone would have a problem with a yearly reminder and then pledge of anything they can.

Thanks for your sensational work, Andy, Nsher et al, and long may it continue. I've just contributed to make myself a 'double' Life Member (which shows how much I value Demonland) ..... but I sure as hell hope it doesn't take two life-times before we can all celebrate the elusive #13.

Should posters who go under several names buy multiple memberships (or for that matter posters with one avatar but multiple personalities)?

If that happened I could retire and donate the rest to the club and we'd be debt free for life. ;)

It's not looking good for the future of Demonology, and as Andy has noted it takes time and money to run these sites.

The organisers of both sites are talking about what can be done, but consolidation to Demonland may be our only viable option.

If you look at the stats when you sign in it is not unusual now to find 700+ people on line at this site.

It is absolutely essential for all of us that Demonland continues. And with this many people using the site it should be possible to keep it so.

I'm sure that $10 a year is not too much for the pleasure this site brings. Anything more is a bonus, but Andy shouldn't have to come to ask us for help. We're the ones getting the benefit. He's already putting in.

As they say in the classics.....it's all up to us.

I went to buy a life membership, but when I am taken to the PayPal page I am getting the following message:

Confirm your credit or debit card number

To help protect your account, we need to confirm that you are the account holder. To confirm your identity, we will ask you a series of questions.

Please enter your credit or debit card account number in the space provided.

I am very loathe to provide such information; if they wanted to confirm my identity, they could ask other questions rather than my CC number. Is there any way I can do this directly from my PayPal account, using your PayPal ID but not by going through the provided link.. and still have my status updated to Life Member?

Not sure why it is doing this for you. I just followed the link and it all look legit to me.

Anyway, if you PM me I will provide account details to direct debit and then I can manually update your Demonland account to Life Member.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 08 vs Geelong

    It's Game Day and the two oldest teams in the competition, the Demons and the Cats, come face to face in a true 8 point game. The Cats are unbeaten after 8 rounds whilst the Dees will be keen to take a scalp and stamp their credentials on the 2024 season. May the 4th Be With You Melbourne.

    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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    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
