  • 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.


Finally, Demonland is United

After a long off season where Demonland posters have continually been attacking one another over a vast array of subjects. Commonly resorting to personal insults and other childish behaviour. For the first time in months, there is no bickering, no snide remarks about each other, just about everyone seems to be on the same page for the first time in a very long time.

All it took was one of the worst and most embarrassing performances in the club's history to make it happen.

I have been around Demonland reading and posting sporadically for about 7 or 8 years now, and I honestly don't think I have ever witnessed a reaction as unified as the one on these boards in the last 24 hours.

Yes I have, and while there are definitely those who are disagreeing here and there. I think 99% of posters are on the same page after yesterday. Usually there are attacks flying around at each other from all angles.

All off season, there were believers, non-believers, and everything in between. But yesterday broke a lot of people.

I haven't changed, other posters have just stooped down to my level of pessimism about the club now.

But, at the end of the day, we all have Jack Viney, that is something to be positive about.


I've been telling my uncle - a Dees supporter, who brain washed me when I was young - not to give up, because Viney is on his way.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel, we now have a young leader on our list.

We can build around this kid, we should've had 2 - with Wines, but thankfully we've at least got Jack.

Jesse is on his way and Jack Billings will be tanking to avoid coming here, but he will be a welcomed addition as well.

Plenty of room for more youngsters after we cut this list of spuds to pieces.

Count me out of your 99%.

As bad as I felt after yesterday and still feel today, there's not a bone in my body or a red a blue blood cell running through my veins that would make me get anywhere near the negative and pessamistic sentiments I read on here daily.

I Love my club and support 100% those that run it at present. I've sent off my email telling them what I think.

My first and last bagging happened yesterday at the ground when I actually offended myself by bagging my own team like a "rabid" supporter of any other club.

I'll keep on reading Demonland and sometimes I'll agree with what I read.

When I don't, and I;ve had enough to drink, I'll post an answer.

Here I am.

Go Dees. First & Forever

I admire your sentiment. I was once like this and wish I still was to be honest.

Just to be clear at this point in the clubs development this doesn't make you a fearless supporter, it makes you the equivalent of a whipping girl.

We are being taken for fools and enough is enough. I've never felt the anger of a crowd like I did yesterday. It made me proud to be amongst a group that collectively stood together and said we aren't going to tolerate this anymore.

I said it yesterday and I'll keep saying it until we improve: Don't be afraid to demand more. It's the only way we'll get better.

If that's the case then I've been the equivalent to a whipping girl for nigh on 54 years.

As I said I had my say in the email I sent to the club last night, and yes I demanded more

    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.
