  • 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 spelling is anglicized but this was at the time considered CFC's biggest and most coveted prize.

After Demetriou's glorious reign over the AFL and in particular the hugely successful push into Greater Western Sydney as well as the wonderfully orchestrated failed tanking investigation into the MFC, he has decided to turn his inconsiderable talents to the mother land and take on the Greek Presidency.

Apparently Andy is so impressed by his chosen successor Giligan McLachlan that he feels very comfortable relinquishing the reins of power over to his young protege.

"Really there's bugger all to do except sit back and count the cash. Even in my wildest dreams I could never have envisioned the outstanding success that GWS would become. Last year they regularly had crowds in excess of Three Thousand!" Demetriou said.

When asked what was his greatest challenge was during his time in power he nominated the MFC tanking investigation.

"I go on holidays in the middle of the season for a couple of months and that little ambitious turd Anderson starts a tanking investigation into the MFC. What was he thinking? What's worse is that it's based holy and solely on what numb nut McLean says and that old hag Wilson's vendetta against Schwab. I had to do something 'cos Fitzpatrick was breathing down my neck threatening to have my balls in a sling if this went any further. In the end I sacked Anderson and appointed the AFP equivalent of Abbott and Costello to head up the investigation, spread some BS about Haddad being a United Nations investigator of repute which the media swallowed hook line and sinker and then let the buggers [censored] it up from the gecko. Pure Genius on my behalf if I do say so my self. It did take a while to bury that crappy investigation, we had to look as if we were actually doing something.", he was quoted as saying.

For now Demitriou is looking to the future and job ahead as Greek President,

"I've had a look at the books and they seem to be in tip top order. As we all know the Greek economy is the powerhouse of Europe and now must look to expand it's influence within the region, I'm thinking Germany could do with a hand".

Greece's gain is surely our loss.

Greece's gain is surely our loss.

Sounds plausible O50 but I think Demetriou's antecedents were like the Toumpas family, Greek Cypriot.

Not only that but it seems that he's already tried his hand at politics over there because, according to Wikipedia, Andreas Demetriou is "a former Minister of Education and Culture of Cyprus."

My mail is that he will soon retire from the AFL and re-open his parents' fish and chips shop in Sydney Road, Coburg where it all started which is a risky enterprise because the area is now strongly inhabited by Turkish Cypriots who, for some reason, don't get on too well with their Greek compatriots. This should not worry Andy too much because he has the experience and the capacity to reverse engineer a negotiated solution to the problem and is tipped in the Fin Review and BRW to go on and make a fortune from his new enterprise.

Meanwhile, Toumpas will go on to become the AFL's most influential player of Greek Cypriot origin, winning two Brownlows (including the one he shares with Jack Viney in 2015) and playing in multiple premiership teams for the Demons before becoming AFL CEO himself on retirement. During his term as CEO he will oversee the successful three day investigation into Carlton's salary cap rorts of 2007-9 which result in the Blues' merger with cash strapped Collingwood in 2033.

T$ Vs Carlton - 85% TOG, 1 Kick.

T$ Vs Sydney - 81% TOG, 2 Kicks.

Haha, thats gold.

I heard he had a ripper of a preseason, and judging from this it's fair to say that T$ is running out games strongly.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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,
