Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.

Think about what it's like to hear of Richmond supporters in the past tearing up their memberships, or more recently microwaving them.

I always thought the concept was laughable.

I'm not laughing now, but it brings some perspective.

Both to how they felt abou their club at the time, and to how overdramatic we are being about our current situation.

I love it.

You have me beaming.

We WILL get out of this.

This is REAL committment.

It'll be painful and longer than we'd like, but we'll get there.

And it'll be worth it.

A lot of supporters would be jumping off us after last night.

It's embarrassing to even say you support Melbourne now.

After the tanking saga and now this, I can only imagine how the players feel.

I can see our membership dropping sharply.

With the franchise sides coming in, it's easy for people to just jump [censored].

But, have faith, we have Viney, Hogan, Kent, Howe, Blease and a few good kids hopefully coming next year.

It can all change pretty easily, we just need the right board, coach to get the boys going.

I do understand people jumping off while Neeld is in charge though, but do get back on board when we get a decent coach.

Would be a shame to lose passionate supporters, we are all hurting and frustrated atm and embarrassed.

I'm angry enough to punch holes in walls during and after the game, but I'm actually proud to be a Melbourne supporter right now.

It hurts, and I hate it, but I'm tough enough to take it.

I'm not taking the easy way out.

My mates give me hell, but I'm copping it on the chin.

Our team is crap. So what?

I'm not some weak little princess that only supports their team when they're doing well.

I'M OUT TOO!!

OUT on the [censored] that is...drowning my sorrows after 7 nights of night shift and last nights debacle but...

I'll always stick by the Melbourne Football Club through thick and thin. 36 years of unfulfilled hope, 4 family memberships, constant flack from mates and plenty of disappointment...

Hurts like hell right now but one day the tide has to turn. I don't know what the answer is right now for the club but the answer for me right now is the amber ale!

Carn the DEE'S!!

Im with ya mate.

I am a very passionate Aussie Rules suppoter and I'm over going for a useless club which I was talked into going for as a kid.

From what I have heard from older suppoters, apart from the stint with Neil Danaher where we were up and down for 7 years and we were lucky to get into the 2000 grand final, we have been crap since the 60's

Nothing will change in the next 40 years.

I don't go for any club anymore.

I'm out.

Just be glad you don't support the saints or bulldogs.

'Attention seeking drama queen' status acknowledged.

Harden up Lucy.

He realised his error.

No need to clip him over the ears.

TBH, I am sure his Ess supporting mates would call him weak if he did renounce.

Edit: I meant 'he' realised his error, not 'I'. Sounded more arrogant than usual...

Well worthy of a clipping over the ears if posted in a public forum.

I copped plenty of filthy texts from Bummers supporters and some really got at me, didn't post about it on here though (until now I suppose).

Moral of the story? Move on, harden up.

Being a Melbourne supporter is just a lose - lose scenario hey? No way out.

When we start winning it will be a win-win scenario.

Because we won...

But it could be a win - lose, cos we might lose...

When I was a young lad I went for the bombers, then one day my dad took me to the side and let me know that that I am related to the Cordner family and David is my cousin and pointed him out while he was playing when we were on Easter holidays I was about 10 years old. Since then I have switched to Melbourne. And to be honest I don't regret it one bit and not even 1% of me has ever felt like switching back.

All I got to say to people who make stupid threads like this is.. don't let the door hit you on the way out :)

My wife is an Essondon supportor and last year we had a bet who ever wins out of Melb and Ess has to take the other out to dinner well u guessed it I made her take to the most expensive restaraunt i could find.

IT'S ONLY A GAME :)

PEACE

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.

    DEMONLAND: Good evening, Demon fans and welcome to the Demonland 2024 Grand Final Podcast … It’s been a beautiful last day of September and how sweet it is to bring you our coverage of all things that matter about the great Demon resurgence which we’ve seen over the past six or seven months.
