  • 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.

Look what I got today

It really was funny, that my first game as a fan was the drubbing to WC. But staying with the club through the bad times, will make the eventual good times all the better.

The Los Angeles Dodgers. There was an old song written about the Dodgers back in the day with the line "They may be bums, but they're my bums." That's how I feel about the current Demons team. They're not doing too good, but dammit I love em.

Nice.

At least the Dodgers are going a bit better these days. You'd be getting a bit of joy watching Kemp play. Superstar.

No idea why I chose the Spurs but such is life.

Add to that the not so successful Buffalo Bills in the NFL and NY Knicks in the NBA.

Just can't seem to pick em right...

I think i've got an odd thing about picking favorite teams, that tend to not be overly successful. My favorite NFL team hasn't won an NFL championship (they did win one championship in a now defunct league though!) My favorite soccer team is Tottenham Hotspur who i've supported for 13 years now and haven't seen them win anything. My favorite baseball team hasn't won anything since the year after I was born...I'm accustomed to pain.

if that is the case can you do us a favour and support Collingwood for a while ;)

Welcome aboard! Great to see the club send you that poster.

So that would suggest you're a Clippers fan too then?

Welcome AmericanDemon! glad to have you aboard the pain train. At least we can say we've won the 4 most premierships in the league (12) even if the last one was in 1964. Also we have won the most premierships within 7 yrs, I think something like 6 flags in 7 years.

Hey all, i'm an American footy fan, and last year, I decided to support the Demons. Partially because I am a fan of Hamish and Andy, and heard Hamish was a Dees supporter, but more so, because of the rich history of the club, Jim Stynes, and a few players I really liked. I was so pumped to watch my first game as a Dees fan, I woke up at 3 AM to watch Melbourne get thumped by West Coast, haha not a very good start to me being a Demons fan.

So at the time I became a fan, I sent an email to the Demons, asking a question about something related to the club. Anyway, I never heard back from them, till earlier this month. I got an email back from a representative of the club, who thanked me for my support of the club, and said that to make up for a slow reply, they sent me this. Got here today, and I'm way excited. It made me love the club even more. I honestly didn't even expect to hear back from them, let alone have them offer to send me something. Sorry if this post was kind of stupid, I just wanted to share my excitement with someone, and i'm the only AFL fan I know in my state haha.

Welcome AD and you'll be more welcome from me if you also go for the San Francisco 49ers.

I received the same picture from the club as part of my sponsorship package and I gave it to my 7 year old grandson who gleefully accepted it and it now sits in his room above his bed.

Perhaps one day it will be a collector's item.

Haha yeah, My girlfriend still asks if i'll be getting up in the middle of the night to watch rugby? But she does know I support the Demons, just has the wrong sport, I guess that's something right?

Welcome aboard AD

I have two small pieces of advice from a supporter of 52 years.

- Buy a recorder for future games

- Stay in bed with the Girl friend

The results will be much better all round that way.

AD you think u have it bad, I've followed the dees for over 30 years, the rams in the NFL and Bolton in English football and rangers in the Scottish league :)

Welcome to the Dees!

Condemned84 have you consider finding a new past time?

Sport does not look like a good idea.

Try the ballet, the theatre or Music mate

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
