  • 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.

Lyon will agree that the club/players are in crisis and agree with each and every comment made by the other 3.

Maybe he will also agree that we need all the players to drink a cup of concrete and not fret about fracturing an eyelash

As far as I am concerned the media can GAGF.

Robinson, Wilson, Sheehan, Denham, Lloyd, Smith, Jay CLark, Connolly - the lot of em.

They are useless pinhead deadbeats that love feasting on a swinging carcass. Sadly we give them so much ammo but I can't wait for the day when we are standing on the Premiership dais and the club tells them all to F off.

The Essendon ones in particular who are happy to deflect any criticism of the drug fuelled cheats.

I hope we get the 4 points back once they are done for cheating. Again. Should have taken the flag off them in 93 as the were found to have salary cap cheated from 91 to 96. F em all I say.

The media are not just messengers OD, that is the problem, they are bullies and vultures that feed off the carcasses of the weak. They are spineless and don't report the truth, but rather attack those find it hard to fight back.

Not so Old, they take particular delight in denigrating the Dees and the supporters, we are like some sort of National Sport.

Sorry Robbie I don't see it that way.

I look at the MFC and our performance over a long period and then what the media write.

I struggle to disagree with 75% of it.

IMO it is not the media's fault we find ourselves in this rat hole.

he wouldn't say, he just gave a hint that it had something to do with "one million dollars".

I doubt it will be positive.

You will be surprised.

We are going to disagree Redleg.

As Dees we just need someone to blame for our own inabilities.

If the media actually checked their facts and were even handed in their criticism, then that would be ok, but some of the lies and misinformation are unforgivable.

We were singled out as the only tankers in the history of the game when every journo out there knows many other clubs did it as well. They treated us like garbage and that is unforgivable. Look how easy they are going on Essendon, how much did Collingwood, Carlton, Richmond, Hawthorn cop, zero. They picked on the weak animal trailing the back of the pack and savaged us.

That is [censored] poor and that really sums up the level of journalism in this Country.

The media act like school yard bullies and pick on the weakest kid; if they had any guts they'd go after the big boys too but don't hold your breath.

How much better than us have the Tigers been over the last 30+ years; do they cop it like we do?

Would you prefer they remained silent after a 148 point loss Redleg?

I looked on Bomber Blitz at the height of their woes and they wanted to lynch the media, calling for boycotts and generally slagging them off. They were defending their boys to the hilt.

Why, FFS then do we as a club cower from them or proclaim " don't shoot the messenger". What crap. This is where you defend our club, not tell us that Venom Denham and his ilk may have a point. Attack, attack, attack. F##k em. You can be sure that they want to do the same to us.

That is your view

I prefer to identify the problem.

That way you have a small chance of fixing the problem.

If you de nigh constantly the problem never gets fixed.

Remind you of anything

We know there's a problem. I'm just saying lets not lie down and accept their constant bile and say its constructive criticism. I say it's BS. How hard is it to understand that many of the media want a story of disaster and woe. It's got nothing to do with helping us move forward. To the contrary

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
