  • 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.

The next 4 matches ...

Fcuk me my five year old is counting down the days to going to see the Dees against Freo in two weeks, poor kid at least I can have a few beers & laugh. I will take small positives whilst watching a kid develop or someone getting on top of their direct opponent and my boy will just be wanting to wave his Dees flag!

Mate i feel sorry for your kid already. Such a sad state of affairs. I wont be surprised if 186 gets eclipsed this yr. I have a 2 yr old daughter and i bought her a guernsey but I have to say it feels cruel encouraging her to barrack for the dees. But then if we all had that attitude i suppose the club would definately be doomed then.

I am genuinely scared about what lays ahead. This cant be good for ones health!!!

My eldest son is now 21. As a little tacker we bought him a guernsey and he wanted Jeff Farmers number on it. Then Wiz left and we had Woey's number put on his back. When he left I said this is a bad pattern - FCS don't put David Neitz's number on your back.

He was with me at the 2000 elimination final win over the Blues, which in hindsight was probably the last great highlight for this club. Now I look at the last 15 or so years of his life and think - poor b*****d, what have I done to him.

MFC - take note of this. I don't know how much longer I will stick with it but you will be losing your future supporters big time.

Pathetic bunch of whingers on this forum. I'm as angry and frustrated as the next person however the constant whining and overall pathericness of people's posts on here is getting very long in the tooth. We are all over the MFC's poor form and have been putting up with sub-standard football for years. We WILL get out of this mess.

Yeah, my 11 year old is teaching me a few lessons... I tend to sit in front of the TV throwing my hands up in the air whining about our inability to stay with the opponent, the fact that they allow the man too much latitude, the fact they don't seem to be able to lay a tackle below the shoulders, and finally when in exasperation I say that I'm through with the club, he will tell me I'm weak and that they are at least out there doing it while I'm just sitting around complaining... he reminds me that in the end it really is just a game and he is teaching me that I shouldn't throw the towel in. I would have thought most kids his age would just move on to a more successful club to follow, but he is a true supporter who is happy to be in it for the long haul... I have nothing but admiration for him.

Is he interested in a senior coaching position?

As a coach myself, you only have to attend one clinic of 50+ kids to see that future support is dwindling. There'd be 3 or 4 MFC jumpers tops out of 50 or 60 kids at those things. Success will bring new supporters, but it has to be the ultimate success. We don't look like achieving that this decade.

Looking ahead - Richmond, Freo (away), Hawthorn, Collingwood - and I thought we had just hit rock bottom - perhaps not. Then again, I'll be there this week - Give us something boys, please !

Hawthorn will quite possibly be an absolute massacre. I am really dreading it

They will be fine with that, us Irish have attended many Football competitions around the world with no hope of winning it but the drink and party (craic) is something you can't describe. A win is a bonus. I was at the 1994 World Cup and attended the game in New York where we beat Italy, we were drinking in a bar after the game and the place was full of Paddy's. The bar staff could not keep up with the crowd, two Irish fellas jumped the bar and asked the bar man how much he charged for beers, when he told them they started serving and all drinks were paid for and the money put in an ice bucket at the end of the bar. Great night had by all

At the game yesterday there was a kid, no older than about five years old standing up near me talking to himself telling Melbourne to kick more goals.

Of course! It's so obvious!

Give that kid a job now!

My Collingwood supporter husband is hosting a box on Queens Birthday with 12 of his Collingwood loving mates, two relatives coming along for a free feed, myself and my son who is a North supporter. God help me!!

I might have to take up drinking....

    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,
