  • 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

    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.

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.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
