  • 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.

No but we all happily do it online for any one to read.

positive bunch

It's a bit of a different Media -our readership are all on the same side.

We just differ in opinion from time to time.

Sheahan shat in his own nest for all to see.

Problem being I was with 8 members of my family... all Melbourne supporters.

Can you imagine how this could have panned out?

Best to remain silent at this time I think.

8 members of your Family-all Demons...& you remained silent??

I can imagine how this would have panned out....YOU would have felt much better.

Don't let these opportunities slip again...What is Chris Connolly's job anyway??

Not sure I have seem many of our supporters post that we are a and I quote Sheahan's words, " disgusting and pathetic club". You might say that about our football this year,but not about the entire club and all the people who have and do belong to it.

Imagine for example you belong to the Melbourne Cricket Club and on TV and in print you call the club a "disgusting and pathetic club", don't you think your membership would be at risk. My view would be as a Committee member, that if you wish to harm the club, you don't deserve to be a member. I am not against freedom of expression but not at the acceptance of slander.

Saw Sheehan at lunch on Friday - had the MFC tie on.

Rumour has it that he has fallen on hard times since he is no longer chief footy writer for the HUN and he picked up the MFC tie circa 1986 (did you notice the royal blue?) from St Vinnies.

I chat to Ayres from time to time,he goves the impression of being in love with his wife which is nice. He also told me that he was up for the Dees job but they didnt ring :)

Please don't spread this around, I don't want Sheahan finding out or it will be everywhere but I was the coach of my son's U14's Grand Final team and I was up for the job too but they didnt' ring me either. Don't know what the hell's wrong with them. Bugger them, I'm going to do a Sheedy, I'm going to poach Trengove and get him to play on his knees so he's short enough and no one will notice him in the U15's next year.

Totally agree, when you attack the 'club' not the admin, coaching group or the players you are attacking 150 years of history, the foundation of the AFL Football, all the former players, every member of the club from the bootstrappers to the cheer squad to the volunteers, the billets, the bugler :P as well as all of the fans. People should watch what they say. It drove me mad when people were calling our club irrelevent and soft. The club is more than the team, for the record a president who fought cancer and fought for youth in a public way is far from soft, the way the club adopted a young Barassi after his father was killed was far from soft, the way the club rallied around T. Broadbridge was far from soft. The way the club support LJ was far from soft, the way the club responded to racism allegations was far from soft, the way we dumped Energy watch was far from soft! This club is so much more than what is going on right now on field.

Top post Deejammin.

Whilst some of our performances this year were uninspiring,our actions off the field have been honorable for most of our history.

Pity we cant say the same for Mike.

    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

    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.

    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
