  • 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.

Who I am? A guessing quiz.

Unless my memory is playing tricks with me. Wasnt the trots (harness racing) and the dishlickers racing also held there?.

I don't think so. The Melbourne Speedway (Motordome) became Melbourne Olympic Park in preparation for the 1956 Olympics. The Harness Racing was at the showgrounds and the greyhounds were in a different area of Olympic region. That was changed to Broadmeadows, as the Melbourne Greyhound track fell by the construction of city link.

Melbourne signed two players who were 15 to play in the U19 because zoning was going to be scraped, the players were David Schwarz and Neitz.

One of my sons (Andy aka Demonland) was in an Under 14 relay team in the Vic champs at Olympic Park one evening and, after winning their semi final, were told their final race was 2½ hours away so as their team manager I thought I'd teach the boys a few finer points in life and took them across to watch the dishlickers going around next door. I thought it might inspire them to run faster but it backfired. Almost missed the start of their race and then finished out of a place. The lads at least learned something about betting and the odds so the evening wasn't wasted.

Anyhow, time for the next and last quiz for the year before we all come back refreshed for 2013:-

Who am I ... 1st Clue:

I spent my first two years at the club playing mainly with the Under 19s.

I am ... ?

This is like a lottery. I'll punt on David Cordner simply because he was part of the dynasty. My vague recollection is that he played a couple of years at u19 s, but this may be wrong. I know he loomed as a potential star at that level.

So it's time for another clue -

Who am I ... 1st Clue:

I spent my first two years at the club playing mainly with the Under 19s.

I am ... ?

Who am I ... 2nd Clue:

Although I never won one, I did finish in the top four in the voting for the "Bluey" in 3 of my first seasons at the club.

I am ... ?

I think Stingrays needs some competition.

Yes indeed it is Chris Connolly who I included in response to those who complained that there was too much ancient history in the quiz.

Here are all of the clues and it's a pity we didn't make it all the way to the 4th Clue because that would have been the real stunner:

Who am I ... 1st Clue:

I spent my first two years at the club playing mainly with the Under 19s.

I am ... ?

Who am I ... 2nd Clue:

Although I never won one, I did finish in the top four in the voting for the "Bluey" in 3 of my first seasons at the club.

I am ... ?

Who am I ... 3rd Clue:

A knee injury ended my playing career but I soon turned my hand to coaching. I coached junior teams and then was thrust into the limelight when I was asked to coach in place of the regular coach who was ill. The team I coached in this one off game scored a famous narrow victory.

I am ... ?

Who am I ... 4th Clue:

More lately, I've been associated with a dark and sinister place called "The Vault" where we plot the downfall of great empires.

I am ... Chris Connolly

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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
