  • 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.

I know we disagree, often, and that's fine, it's what Demonland is all about.

But to KEEP posting the same comment over and over not only hinders your cause and makes you less credible, it actually qualifies you as a troll.

OK. I didn't want to go in to it as it may seem as if I'm blowing my own trumpet but I will on the basis that all I want to do is explain my point. Over the last 5 or 6 years I've put a fair bit of

I'm in favour of leaving the club alone for the sake of stability and then doing a holistic review at the end of the season.

I was there Sunday.

Fair enough. But i don't think we have 21 weeks.

The media vultures will drink blood if the losses mount up

IF Essendrug pump us, what spin could the club say. It would be totally hollow.

We have to fire shots this week...

Neal Craig was specifically asked that last year, and denied that it was happening or was an issue.

Non-event, nothing to discuss here, move along. CEO has just been given a new contract, obviously the Board - who would know more than any of us here about what Cam's role is and how he's performing - are happy with him.

...and so you think the players would confide in Neil after they were screwed last time?

Someone needs to. At least we'll know who to blame and we'll stop swinging widely at anyone and everyone.

Jens,

This may be some of the information in the public domain that HazyShadeofGrinter is referring to.

You have the choice to pass over my comments, Stuie.

Clearly there is something about 101L - 32W that is getting to you, or you wouldn't get so inflamed about it.

Eventually the penny will drop. As Luke said to Darth ... "I see the good in you".

Haha... It's not getting to ANYONE in the way you want it to. You obviously have no other facts to misinterpret otherwise you may say something different every now and then.

Stuie that win loss ratio is putrid. It makes me sick. I really you would stop defending it.

We all have to tell the club it is PUTRID.

What about 101 Losses - 32 Wins .... including 7 wins in 64 games against Vic clubs am I "misinterpreting" ?

Please do enlighten with your acumen.

It's a horrible record, and I'm not defending it at all, but to post it continuously as RR does is the same thing a troll does.

Ah, I see that you as well haven't stopped beating your wife ...

I would point the mods to this comment as unacceptable on this site, regardless of context.

Bing is fully aware another poster was warned about this. Which makes his follow up worse.

Yet you keep vigorously defending the administration that has presided over it. Defending the indefensible is about as close to "trolling" as you can get I would've thought.

No Stuie. It should be posted on every entry that is posted on here so it actually sinks in. 101 L 32 W is how the club fortunes are remembered.

It stinks.

Sorry, I didn't realize pointing out you've posted the SAME THING countless times across Demonland was "vigorously defending the administration".

    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,

    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
