  • 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.


McLardy, Schwab and Co must go

The brass have shown they are bereft of said spirit, so will have to be removed by those who aren't.

Charges of 'feeding irrational paranoia' and stoking 'alarmism' are judgment calls, which you entitled to.

I disagree.

We've been through one of these dances before, you and I.

You are equating HWFUA to my view that we should wait for more than one rounds evidence before we push for a board challenge, the firing of the CEO, and the removal of the coach and your view that we should do all those three things now?

Don't waste my time with that.

My issue is not who you wish to remove but when, if we dish up a few more months of this then I doubt anyone at the club would be safe.

And my point to show your 'faux alarmism' is that you are hitting a raw nerve you know you are hitting. You are getting wyl riled up with this stuff and he is taking a couple with him over the cliff (note: that is a proverbial cliff...).

If you think, as I do, that this club will endure, don't put forward that we are headed for the same fate as Fitzroy.

It is disengenous and, despite the scoffing from the Demonland bleachers that this we recieve, it is beneath you.

It's the 102L - 32W that's hitting the raw nerve, Rpfc. People are upset and rightly so.

And give other people credit for forming their own views.

Some of the views wyl comes up with can only be credited to him. You are fueling this pipe-nightmare that we will soon not exist.

That is a sh!t record you keep bringing up. It's not that much different to Fitzroy's. But that is where the similarities end. I happen to have a few family friends who knew the state of their finances in the last few years. They were not doing well at all while paying approx 70% of the cap at the time. There are reasons other than W/L record as to why Fitzroy went the way of the Dodo (what, to Queensland?).

The record under this Board and Schwab isn't pretty (to say the least: 24W and 65L), and after the offseason relaignment that promised more than Sunday we have good reason to ask for new people IF what happened Sunday is to repeat itself often this year.

Happy for the criticism but when it is pushing reason, I will push back.

Satyriconhome, I think you'll get credit when your views differ a smidgen from Mr Repetitive himself, Stuie. Your relentless pursuit of RR smacks of a child demanding attention. Ie 'do I get credit Rangey, I dare you'.

An opinion is a lie is it? Think you have trouble with basic vocab. Strange for a pseudo-intellectual art-film watching lightweight. Then again ...

Say no more. I'll be directing the mods to address your baseless personal attacks. Disgraceful.

Jens Lehmann got the boot for good. You're next.

I can just imagine the board meetings....

Prez: "So, Range Rover, what do you think is our biggest challenge?"

RR: "102L - 32W"

Prez: "Ok, so what do you think we should do?"

RR: "102L - 32W"

Prez: "Riiiight, got that already, how can we improve?"

RR: "102L - 32W"

Prez: "Yes, you said that already, what productive suggestions do you have?"

RR: "102L - 32W"

Prez: "Geeeez... I need a break, let's get lunch, Rangey what do you want to order?"

RR: "102L - 32W.... No lettuce."

That's weak RR. Someone has a go at you the SAME WAY you do at EVERYONE and you go crying to the mods... Very weak, even for you.

An opinion might not be a lie, but it's certainly not a fact.

I have been attending AGMs since 1988. For mine this Board is the most talented board we have had over that duration. Now you may say that is saying both a little and alot. If they were to be kicked out then I would fear for the future of the MFC. Look at the resume of our Directors and offer me some alternatives of similar business standing.

Keep up the good work RR, you and WYL and others are doing a terrific job going toe to toe with these posters that appear to be here only to deflect, disturb and discredit anybody willing to ask questions of this admin.

I've got no problem with anyone forming an opposing opinion Stu. You annoy the hell out of me but you have a right to your opinion.

But I draw the line at a punk like Satyricon saying that I am spreading lies. It's not on.

Jens Lehmann went on the same track. Now he's permanently banned. Suggest you and anyone else who wants to go down that track take note.

Exactly mate. Their game is to deflect from the issue and attack me in the hope of getting the thread shut down. Just like they did with the Schwab thread.

They won't succeed.

Listen RR, as much as we disagree, we both quite often have a very attacking style of posting here. With that territory comes some heat back the other way, granted there's a line, but you shouldn't go running to the mods as often as you seem to be doing in the last week or so, it's gutless.

I cop my fair wack here, plenty from you, I fire back usually but I accept it as part of the passion that is Demonland.

Fire back with some proof, smartass cracks, polls, whatever you like, but don't be a sook.

Baseless personal attacks will get you banned. Simple as that.

Now back to the topic.

You're the one constantly calling for people to get banned and crying to the mods lately RR.

    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,
