    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.


PLAYER NUMBERS 2013

I couldn't find my thread for a sec then. Is it common to have your threads renamed and taken over by admins?

31 would be good, receiving 5 from Schwartz would be better, but picking number 1 would be best. I will be able to finally put good use to my player issued number 1 jersey, seeing Warnock only had it for a year lol.

I've found that out myself. Gets me confused. Perhaps leave the thread title for a while with a message, "thread merged with whatever".

I would like Hogan to be #3, having grown up a G.Lyon fan it would be great to see a big forward in the great man's number. I would like Hogan and Dawes in #3 and #5, I"m a romantic, so Colin Sylvia to move to #1, Viney to have #12, Byrnes in #10, Rodan #33, Pedersen #15, Gillies #27, Wines? in #23, Barry #45 would be good too for the great M.Whelan.

It would be nice to give #31 to somebody who wants to be a Demon to help erase the Scummy association that many have with it. Unless he doesn't want #31, that is.

I like the idea that 31 is given to the captain (whoever it is), like Richmond does with 17.

Hard to do it currently with the co-captains.

Or maybe we could allocate 11 to the captain (or 37) ...............

31 should be banished for decades. It was RDB's thats it.

It has bought us nothing but trouble since.

Let Chris forge his own path.

You mean the guy that nicked off to play with Carlton, WYL? :P

Barass left in 1965 nearly 50 years ago........The jumper does not make the player ....the player makes the jumper.....Let someone make it their own and move on.......

Sure, but maybe as long as the great man, RDB, is alive any question of who should be given #31 should be run by him?

I think the devil has changed his number from 666 to 31

Personally I think we should put the 31 guernsey in a locked box and drop it in the ocean

I am a broken record on this but why give that little simpleton so much say over this football club.

He was here for two years and directly led to the recruitment of Clark, Dawes, Hogan, Wines, and Barry.

Let's pay tribute by putting someone in 31.

I agree rpfc

However I don't really care what number any player wears.

What i really care about is winning games.

To do that we need good players what number is on their back has little apeal to me.

Just win games

Would you like the club to retire #7 in respect for your mate?

Well said. We've spent too long in the abyss of the competition.

This year it's time to go out and let the other teams feel the wrath of the Dees.

VINEY has to be 31

He will were the jumper with the respect it need's.

Not like some rat boy from GWS

I agree. Has to be Viney in 31. He will honour the memory of RDB the man who invented the pack breaking ruck rover position that he will emulate.

I think you have a selective memory.....Who else wore 31#.......The only one I can remember was Ray Groom......and why does it matter.......It's only a number.....

It may be 'Only a Number', to you, but to many others, it is a important representation of what They want the club to become again.

So, to me, those peoples opinions are very important.

I like your thoughts on 23, But I'd like to hold back the No's 31 & 23, for a year or two, until Viney & (Wines?),,, if that eventuates, would be ready to play topline hardass footy.

As distinct from playing they're first seasons of development footy & the red & blue. give them 75 & 76 for a year before moving them into these numbers when they deserve the honor.

Well, throw me back to the fifties.......You're right......I do not care who wears the #31 next year......It puts expectations (unfairly) on the player.......The last player to wear it was a beauty,wasn't he???? I love Barass but he went to Carlton in 1965....

What No did Ivow Warne-Smith wear???/

What No did Don Cordner wear????

All these so called "Important" numbers have moved on to other players who have or have not made them their own..

Time to move to the 2013's and beyond.....

    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

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
