  • 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 cares if you drive through Adelaide drunk?

What are you going to hit ,seriously?

A Church.

A tree.

A roo.

Get him and Dale back here and lets party .

A bogan with bad hair?

But the scary thing is, he still would have been with us if he didn't do a runner.

Not so sure on this, I think he may have given Neeld a let out... but it's one we will never really know.

Was one of my all time favourites jurrah but as much as I don't wanna be a full on racist the lack off indigenous players drafted this year showed why and I think his comments were actually spot on.. Dayle Garlett is a perfect example and I think clubs are just really not interested anymore in looking out for players like jurrah, zeph skinner etc that come out from the outback knowing in 3 years later they will just walk out on the club.

It really is a sad affair with Jurrah as this bloke could have been just as good as Michael O'Loughlin . Jurrah has natural freakiness about him that could pull people through the gates. I really do miss jurrah in the red and blue but he is one of many Aboriginal footballers that just aren't worth the risk anymore.

Just want to state my opinion here. Matt Rendell was not making racist comments, was taken out of context and is not a racist imho.

I agree Jurrah was an exciting player and I get the Skinner comparison (less so the Garlett one).

Can you say there is an established trend here? i.e. in your opinon, are urban indigenous players more likely to succeed in the rigours of the system that say those from remote communities?

I'm thinking Caroline Wilson.

As for LJ I couldn't give a crap. He had my full support and sympathy until the moment he walked out on the club. Now he can go to Hell and I hope he hates every moment of it.

Nice to see people putting sport ahead of compassion.

Hard to have compassion for drink drivers mate, glad he did not kill some innocent while being a selfish idiot.

I agree on that count, but when people start saying they don't care because he walked out on the club, that irks me. LJ obviously has some major issues and I would say the pressure is becoming too much for him...a very sad state of affairs.

so is anyone going to say that he comes from a different culture where drink-driving is looked at differently and therefore he should be given a break for this?

all the other stuff he did was quickly excused for the colour of his skin, why not this?

As far as I can recall, you seem to be the only one who has broached the subject of skin colour.

I think everyone can see what a sad tragedy this is becoming

It certainly does you no credit to grandstand over it

He was lucky he didnt collide with another car and kill a family or an innocent driver.

Has his partner had there child yet?

But its a shame where his life is at. He was the reason I loved going to the footy because I always looked foward to soem Jurrah excitement.

I think Rendell was the messenger who got shot for political gain. It's a pity because the issue he broached deserved a lot more thought , maybe in the end it was just all too hard for misfud. It was just easier to treat it as a political football and him a casualty which is not an unusual response unfortunately.

I reckon you'd have to be drunk to be caught driving in Adelaide.

Or a priest in ladies underwear,late for Bridge.

Yeah well I've got better things to do than worry about the world's problems. Sport interests me. Caring about people I've never spoken to not so much. I also have a list of things I don't have much compassion for:

1) Drink drivers

2) People that use weapons to commit violence

3) People that [censored] on my club after all it has done for them

Number 3 probably should be at the top of the list though.

actually I am the only one who has judged him as a person, an individual whom like everyone else is responsible for his own actions, instead of using his background as a get out of jail free card like so many 'enlightened' folks around here have

    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.

    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
