  • 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 tragic downfall of Liam Jurrah

Jurrah really did the club a favour by walking out on us, he basically gave us an 'honourable' way out. Could you imagine how the Melbourne media would have responded to the club if he was still a listed player.

Well, even I have to agree now that if there is truth to this latest charge, then LJ has well and truly torn up his last "Get out of Jail Free" card. A really sorry state of affairs.

Dear Australia, outback Australian indigenous communities are seriously ****ed. See Liam Jurrah for another of the long list of sad stories. I don't have a clue how to fix this mess and the AFL have tried to play a small part but it doesn't seem to have worked. If anyone has any genius ideas I wish them well.

Yeah but for every Liam Jurrah there are plenty of happy stories, like Garramul Yunupingu. Let's celebrate them instead of wasting pity on those who won't help themselves.

No-one can fix another's mess from with-out. Change can only come from with-in.

I fear for his health.

I can't see a way out for Liam, in the city life, or in the Bush.

his bridge is burning from both ends.

That's a good way to put it dee-luded. I still can't believe that this has happened. I hope everything turns out alright for him but in the end I'm not sure how it can.

Its funny you know.....lifes about choices.

On one path Liam could have been a highly paid AFL superstar.

But Liam chose the other fork in the road, and is now on the run from the law.

When he bolted from the MFC I had this gut feeling this would happen.

As soon as he returned to the FAMILY it all went down hill at a rapid rate.

As soon as he lost the support of the MFC it all came apart

Sad but not unexpected IMO

A bit like guys who spend their time writing training reports

What, "simple?"

That's one of the worst replies I've read on this board, Roost It.

Some supporters are keen to get along to training and report back to Demonlanders and have time to share their thoughts on methods and updates on new recruits and so forth. If anything, you should appreciate any updates you read.

If you're fair dinkum and sensible, I'm sure you would re-consider your post and offer apologies to all in sundry that contribute training updates here.

not quite deezee, I think Liam was chosen to be his clans leader, born into it.... & he's just early 20's. too young for so much crap.

he wasn't going to make it WYL

& his decisions of poor judgement, show his true age, & battle with too much pressure.

he was up against it. from the start.

Having read the info available this afternoon it appears to me that LJ is missing.

It does not look good

I fear the worse case headline has not been written.

I hope I am wrong but I have a very bad feeling about this tonight

    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,

    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.
