  • 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 wanna know the full story, a s paid up member i deserve to know as do all other members

This cloub is on the verge of extinction and 2 of our highest paid players are ina dust up at nightclub

Right now it sounds like Sylvia was to blame, but i dont wanna hang him until i know the whole picture

You don't deserve that, it is none of your business. So what a player gets drunk, big deal as long as he meets all his rehab and training commitments today and this week no issue.

It's crap like this that shows how weak we are as a club.

Colin Sylvia has been involved in countless incidents where he mucked up under the influence. Geelong gave Stevie J. latitude early. When they finally did get their act together in 2007, they spoke softly and wielded a big stick. 5 weeks ban from the club. What resulted was a Norm Smith medallist and one of the better footballers of this decade.
What do we do when Col does stupid crap like this repeatedly? We give him a week off during the preseason.

I won't say he was exclusively to blame in this as Chip was involved too but he is a repeat offender.

Wow is all I can say every team has players that have the old disagreement but of course with the predicament we are in it gets reported and will now the being the rumour mill. Sylvia has had that many issues with alcohol and still never learns. I say bugger it we won't make finals make a stand and tear up his contract I am a fan of Sylvia but I am over every single year him having a dust up or issue that stems from him being intoxicated.

No being a member does not entitle you to that, it entitles you to a vote in club elections and entry to AGM's but it doesn't entitle you to the full story.

As for the club being on the verge of extinction, there's nothing like an over exaggeration to support a crap proposition.

If its true...rest my case!

Sylvia has no interest in the team,,,, just himslef!

Would they not have re-hab the next morning?

Imagine turning up still on the turps!

No issue with players going out for drink or 2....but at some stage proffesionalism has to take over!

I can hopefull prey that Frawley was not drunk as I would lose all faith

Getting drunk the night after a game is specifically against all rehab and training commitments. I'm astonished anyone doesn't know this - it basically knocks your whole recovery process back by 48 hours, increases your risks of wear-and-tear injuries, and in particular undermines recovery from soft-tissue soreness and injury.

If a player can't keep off the [censored] for even a couple of days before and after a game, they are simply not committed to AFL level performance.

Haha I'm sure they have a cup of tea, some cream cheese on a cracker, and in bed by 9....

Obviously Sylvia is not a professional - not worth what he is being paid - probably explains why at 27, he hasn't achieved anythin in his entire career. Maybe in the eighties it was ok but they weren't professionals back then. Should be delisted immediately.

Stuie, we are struggling to win a quarter, let alone a game.

You'll excuse us if we aren't jumping for joy that a repeat offender, a perennial under performer, and an all round known idiot, has been seen [censored] out of his mind after a match*

Should we sack him? No.

Should we punish him? Yes.

Would our club be annoyed at this? Yes

Should you? Probably, but too busy searching for gifs online I suppose.

*still no confirmation, so lets hope it is not true or has been blown out of proportion on the internet

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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,
