  • 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.

I do agree we need a social club. I've been to the Bentleigh Club a couple times and IMO It's a run down pile of crap. You may as well just rock around to my place and watch the footy out on the deck

Whens the first away game Matt?

I'm suggesting that one of the major reasons we have become a backwater club over the last 40 years, is because we don't look after our supporters in this fashion, with a supporter hub/training comple

Any houses for sale in Jolimont Terrace?

The East Melbourne Group encourages the offices to revert to houses. I am sure that converting a terrace into a licensed Clubhouse would go down like a lead balloon. Didn't the MFC once own/rent one there?

Yes and sold because of the planning problems

I agree we need somewhere to call home socially.

There is a great pub in the city that we could use as a club and the owners are Melbourne supporters, hey the are even a bronze partner on our sponsors page on the website.

http://wharfhotel.com.au/

The Wharf Hotel sits on the Yarra River opposite the Exhibition Centre just down from crown.

Imagine having a Demon Boat Shuttle Service along the Yarra from the Wharf Hotel to the MCG and back again on game day. On the wharf hotel web page they even offer discounts to MFC members, with a bit of work between the club and the owners I am sure it could be turned into a great location to watch interstate games and a good spot for a beer before and after another Demon victory!

Whilst not located close to the MCG or AAMI park it certainly is more appealing than the Bentleigh Club.

I was in there a few months ago having a beer and they even have Demon pictures up on the walls.

Just a thought!

This looks like a great alternative

Thanks for letting us know it

What is the potential for parking? As we drive and park currently a tram ride in to the g would not be as inclusive as a ferry filled with d supporters

I accept - what should I bring?

Nice Idea Matt, If we have a Members Hub, we could have a Cuban Beach party in April...at a venue near Richmond. Outdoors on the Deck,,, April Sun Beach Party with Barbie cooking, watching a Lazy Sat/Sunday arvo/evening Matinee' game against the Suns, start at around 4.00PM...

All things are possible...

There's that nice big bluestone catholic church near parliament.

Should get it cheap if we wait till end of next year

Yeah and they might even leave some dressup gear around. Surplus surplices as it were. Wrong colour I suppose but there are party possibilities.

As long as we keep some sort of discipline.

I put you in charge of that .

The catholic Church can use the Peel or the Laird .

If we rent something around Stewert St, or Swan St, 'Bensons was good',,, Until we build something near AAMI & Gosch's Paddock, we could utilise it for offices & Social Hub & sell memberships & Paraphernalia.

Have a Winter/Summer social base/cafe.

Watch games, wander down watch away tests with friends, to catch up before or after games meeting point, training days... team announcements after work,

IMO Swan St is under developed.. It has some cool.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. BTW my wife goes to The Corner to listen to bands that nobody else has heard of.

Bit like barracking for the Demons .

Look forward to meeting you there one day Father BBO.

I would have thought a bloke who wears his underpants on the outside would be at least a bit tragic.

I think biffo knows the tragedy i refer to. And at least i wear them.

I'll let you in on a secret too. Not only do I wear them on the outside but I have a backup pair on the inside. Keep that to yourself though

you mean all that Greek tragedy gear. I would hope they take it with them

As performers you would hope they know enough to pack the costumes.

The show rolls on.

The tragedy is timeless.

But the show must go on .

Bless you my son. In the meantime go and indulge in a bit of mortification of the flesh to make up for your many and varied offensive comments.

We may have to put you in charge of the Hell Hole... Bbo's Dungeon of Deespair, with fire twirlers fire eaters & fire breathers, Deeviant Angels & the King Masochist. http://soundbible.com/713-Laugh-Evil.html :blink:

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. 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
