Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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

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

I know, but I can't stop....it's horrible!

oopphh Rangers is just the kick in the nuts after being poked in the eyes, had your hair pulled and punched in the nose.

I'm in the stage where everything is laughable.

Absolutely Not AD

I can assure you I am not and neither are the majority of demon fans.

However there are more than a few who do fit the description

Macca was just having a joke with you.

After the season we have had it seems for most of us Humour is the only escape

Thats what I assumed, just double checking! It's funny since I started learning about the AFL i've found ever team has stereotypes. Western Bulldogs-scrappy team, bad luck Richmond-what we could call over here, white trash. North Melb-no one seems to know enough supporters to figure out what they are. Collingwood- Inbred. I feel like i've learned a lot haha

Yeah , 'old dee' summed it up well . All the clubs have these perceived idiocyncracies . It's just a bit of good natured banter .

Btw , and I think I speak for most Demon fans - We hate Essendon , Carlton and Collingwood (not necessarily in that order!) . We also have a fantastic finals record against those 3 teams .

On this site we cover all the big 4 USA sports and we've got a general discussion area where we've got music threads , a bit of comedy and topical subjects concerning various World events . Just click on 'Demonland Forums' above to go into those areas . We've even got a cricket thread !

Who do we hate the most? Do we have a big rival team?

Well , for me it's Collingwood but it might be Essendon . Schadenfreude is alive and well amongst a few of us . We sometimes venture over to 'Bomberblitz' and watch the meltdown . Some of us are probably over there now :)

Welcome AD. Lived in NY for a couple of years in the '70's. Have followed the Dees for 60 years and, unlike most here, have actually seen them win 4 flags.

Hang tough 'cause I think we're on the road to glory once again - they've got to win one more before I croak.

The old school members who were around during the 60s think we have a rivalry with Collingwood, but they couldn't give a toss about us: they're a big club and these days we are a little one. It had meaning 50 years ago when we would routinely meet them in finals, but these days it's less of a rivalry and more of a case of tall poppy syndrome.

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.

This is a feeling I get....

Melbourne Demons, Charlotte Bobcats, Wigan Athletic, New York Jets.... All I feel is pain.

So is there anyone currently who would be considered a current rival? Sorry for the questions, I just want to learn about the club haha

AD our biggest rival is winning at present....

I'm an A's fan (because of the Aussie green and gold colours) and don't see them winning anything EVER again but they were fun to watch with the drugged up bash brothers and Ricky H stealing everything in site.

Welcome aboard AD.....

Where abouts in the States do you live.....my wife is from Florida, and we return yearly...have a step daugther living in Portland.....

As to our biggest current rival......its funny....traditionally and Historically, it has always been the Filth (Collingwood)...but in the last decade or so it is now the Scum (Essendon).....tho personal hatreds will always bleed thru for different people...

Welcome to the club.......

Oh, and as for teams over there that I support, have had a bit of luck in the last few years.....Patriots in the NFL, Bruins in the NHL and Sox in the MLB......dont really follow NBA.......

Maybe we could set up a trade with the Jets for Tim Tebow? We could package up Morton and sell him as the aussie version of Tebow or Jeremy Lin.

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 to hell on earth. If cant get much worse than it is, so if you get passed this horror stretch, you may have something to brighten up your footy side of life in a few years.

I had someone come over here,a few times. before she made the trip, there were a few requirements to be met.

1st was, if she barracked for Collingwood, (the filth) dont bother coming. Her 1st game, we went to a nab cup game, Melb V Essendon, she left hating them too, so I knew she had the right idea. So then I did a trade off, and now keep an eye on the Cheeseheads.

Well our 3 most hated teams (arguably) have all lost this weekend . If we win tomorrow I might start believing that our newest member ('American Demon') is a good luck charm .

We may need more 'Sign-ups' from the 'Land of the free' !

Welcome! Please don't get weak legs on the journey that is being a Melbourne supporter!

I hope you can make it to Melbourne one day and REALLY learn what footy is about! You don't know the start of it!! I've sat near Americans at the MCG a few times before and am always fascinated to hear what they think of the game. One of the real joys of footy, it's like they have just been born into the world.

Also, spread the red and blue word. Hopefully you can give the game a name there as too many people here are into American sports these days

    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.

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
