  • 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.


Found this on the MFC Facebook Page



Recommended Posts

I found this on the MFC Facebook page from Nick McCallum*...Now i know Nick has worked hard for the club but i find his spin on this a little insulting to the supporters who witnessed yesterday..

I get the impression that people within the club do not want to know...Deep Down they hope this will just go away..I was there yesterday & i gave the team a good Boo as they came off...There was no EFFORT...watch todays Hawk Cat Game.

Our club deserved a spray yesterday...5 months of training for that poo??

Sorry Nick but this rubbish you write is one of the clubs biggest problems....You refuse to accept how bad things are.

"Fair weather supporters who boo their club off the field deserve to share the same level of hell reserved for people who cheat on or leave their partners when they're suffering a terminal illness. Shame on the lot of you who did that today, I thought I was a part of a club that was above such dreadful displays of sportsmanship and witnessing that simply made me feel sick."

So we're clear - this is not the same Nick McCallum that has worked for the club.

Get stuffed Nick. I thought I was part of a club who would refuse to be bullied off the field. I thought I was part of a club who would turn up and represent the club and the supporters with pride and passion. I thought I was part of a club that would make me enjoy football. Calling us supporters fair weathered for having enough of this crap is so far off the mark Nick. Get into the real world before you criticize your own.

No Nick,

It's more like having a girlfriend grab $300 and spend it on drugs for her gay mates.

It's hardly like leaving a spouse with cancer.

Shocking out of line comnent by Nick whoever he is. Disgraceful really and he has some connection to the club you say WYL?

Reports are that McLardy issued a spray to angry Melbourne fans at a Crown function as well.

Totally out of order by a man who is clearly out of touch ... and out of his depth. Rollover merchant of the highest order.

Face facts: anyone who turned up to the game yesterday is not a "fair weather supporter"

They all left a few years ago when this downward spiral began.

We, the rusted on barnacles, are sick of watching us get thumped when with a bit of application and determination we could not only stay in a game but win it. I refer you to the Gold Coast Suns who kept cracking at the Saints until they got the win.

For the record, I did not boo the team and never would. I left 5 minutes early instead.

Glad i am not alone here....This is what we are up against...They do not want to know.

I am not suprised, since the tanking investigation wrapped up we have had silence.

I wonder what this week will bring?

Clock is ticking.

I couldn't believe my ears when I was labelled a fair-weather supporter last night after the game.

This is the second such instance of the term being used.

50 years without a flag, 7 years of horror and one of the most inept halves ever dished up on that oval.

Anyone who sits through it and still wears red and blue deserves a medal - not the term "fair weather fan".

Fair weather to me would be someone who turns up when the team is winning and jumps off straight away when things go bad. We have sat through this crap for years. Don't tell us we are fair weather supporters. We have been loyal. The same loyalty hasn't been shown to us.

Nick McCallum works in Radio, or certainly did...i know he has MC'ed many MFC Functions...any closer working i cannot say

But it sure sounds like he is part of this delusional spin.

Are you kidding?

Take a look at the photo of the guy who posted it - it's not the same Nick McCallum. Clearly just a fan expressing his opinion.

I wasn't at Crown WYL and I'm not sure what the reference is in relation to?

They can dig in, close their eyes and hold their index fingers in their ear holes all they like WYL. The hammerings will mount up and the drums will beat louder and louder with each passing week. Eventually they will be forced out of their foxholes and marched before the public. The train is well off the rails and headed for the cliff.

in fact anyone who stayed to the end of the game (to boo) is definitely not a fair-weather supporter

Doesn't he work on 3AW? 693?

Has a show with Darren James and John Michael - Howson?

Always arguing about trite topics, chasing relevance.

Edit: If it's a different Nick McC, apologies to the radio version.

Your show's still shite.

I have seen the team cheered off the ground too often after bad performances and yesterday I was not sorry to hear the booing!

And damn it, I've followed this club through thick and (very) thin times for over 40 years and I expect supporters to vent their feelings at such extreme ineptitude as shown yesterday!

And I sit with a former MFC player who was appalled by what he witnessed! He didn't boo - he left with 10 minutes to go shaking his head and swearing.

And what are the odds that the person or persons had a few to many, I would give him a spray as well, and if someone did that to you, you would get your back up.........

My free time and my money is very important. I work bloody hard for both. And I choose to spend it on this club, year after miserable year.

You wanna call me a fair weather supporter, and I want to punch you in the face. Deal?

I've gone to games sick, on crutches, during exams, I've missed birthdays, family events and many other things to make time to go and watch us play. I spend hundreds each year on a membership without fail, even when I barely have the money.

So if I wanna boo a team that plays like absolute shite with complete and utter disregard for the fans or the jumper, than I friggin well will and who the hell are you to tell me otherwise.

I deserve better for my time and money. We all do. And the players and coaches should know that what they have dished up for 6 years now is unacceptable.

    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.
