  • 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.

Magical morning at Gosch's Paddock

Great support for the boys at training today. Collingwood are gone from Gosch's. It was a busy morning with The Dees, The Storm and The Victory all training at the same time and a great turn out of supporters to give the boys a boost. Get there tomorrow if you can. Who cares if they get beaten. They are still our team.

Well done six6six - I knew your comeback would come sooner rather than later.

Hopefully, your pictures can chronicle some more happy times for the club soon.

Nice work six.

What are you shooting on and what lens you using for those? Looks great.

Thanks thbt,

I'm a Canon man. I have a couple of cameras but these were mainly taken with a 7D and Canon 70-300 mm f4-5.6 lens. A few of the really long shots across to the far side of the ground were with a Sigma 50-500 f4.5-6.3 lens

Nice!

I have a 7d at home and a couple of 5d's (mk 2 & 3) I use for work (video stuff).

Looking at getting a long lens for still stuff as all my lenses are short and fast. On a crop sensor do you find yourself using the length beyond the canons 300mm? I'd like to do more sports and wildlife stuff on my 7d.

Gosch's paddock was an unofficial name give to that place but eventually stuck, given it is now ours I feel a rename is in order. Perhaps Barassi Oval?

What about Stynes' Green?

I think anything that's "Melbourne" would be great, the Stynes name would obviously carry a lot of emotion to it.

thbt,

Because the players are in all parts of the ground I use the full range of focal length from 50 through to 300. Because it is a compact lens, it is better suited to hand held. The Sigma is pretty big and generally needs a monopod to get steady shots. My other body is a 5D Mk3. I normally only use this with my faster prime lenses.

Leave it at Gosch's Paddock. There's history ... William Henry Gosch leased the land from the Melbourne City Council in the 1870s as a holding area for his local transport company's horses.

A fan-tastic Idea & turnout to help the lads... It may be a help to turn a corner.

I was glad to see & read about the encouragement for the boys, Unfortunately I couldn't make the trip down to Melbourne, having building work done.

good luck to the boys today, & Go-Dees

No lets leave the Heritage angle, but let us Build an Office & Social Hub next door to AAAMI Park & adjoining that Medical centre...

... we could call it the RedLegs centre by Gosch.

this is the Edwin Flack Field on which AAMI Park is built.

edwin-flack-field-jan-2006.jpg

... notice the top right hand corner of the picture, there is a structure. If we built our home base just Nth-East of that structure we could have an Office & Social Hub right there on Olympic Boulevard within easy distance of the 'G'.

... and it would overlook the training fields we could develop just off Olympic Boulevard, & a little away from the petrol fumes of Punt Rd. But right next to the Public Transport of Trams & Trains.

For the past couple of years we've had a B grade training oval, and we've performed accordingly.

Here's hoping some of the success the smelly pies have had whilst training at Goschs paddock rubs onto us.....

Ps. And the Pies new oval riddles them with injuries....I'm not bitter, seriously I'm not ;)

    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,
