  • 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.

Kills me to vote NO. But i just can't watch it.

I love the MFC too much.

The Mclardy phase must end. The Red & Blueprint was a complete disaster which is the reason i believe the players are not putting in.

Imagine what opposition players are saying on the ground that not even Neeld can hear.

Change must happen.

I won't attend games not because Neeld is coach but because we suck and are boring to watch (not worth wasting time going to matches and getting depressed)

Man you guys sound like Essendon supporters when Knights was the coach. Plenty of supporters stopped going and wouldn't sign up if he was still the coach for the following year. The last 2 games under Knights at Etihad l think hardly anybody turned up in 2010.

Every AFL supporter and it doesn't matter who you follow can only handle so much [censored]. You lose your passion in the sport because you cannot see any light at the end of the tunnel.

I hope you guys get your wish and he is sacked after the Hawks game. Just remember Peter Jackson is the CEO atm and he was behind the Knights appointment at Essendon. So he could be in the running to take over next year.

My favourite to get the job next year is Rodney Eade.

I go to support the players out on the ground every week, whether they win or lose. Old fashioned? Boring? It's just the way I was taught to support my team.

Well played sir, it is not old fashioned, just shows who has a pair and who doesn't,

Supporters - wouldn't know the meaning of the word

Do you see Don in your dreams WYL, did he run over your pet rabbit?

Imagine those naughty opposition players sledging, whatever is the world coming to

No offence to the club but I've gone from going every week to not at all, I have a life that is enjoyable outside of football. Probably wont attend another game this year.

I'm a supporter of crushing the weak culture that has bedeviled this club thru Decades of disappointment...

I've been to training over the years, & I've helped here & there in the past.

If I was in Melbourne, I would be at all the games supporting the culture shift. no more teasers.... no chasing & no tackling.

I want the club to change into an Inclusive club again.... Training/Office/Social Hub

.... If they sack the Coach, who's finally showing the true grit required to shift this bathroom scum off our Club, then I Will Not buy another membership again, & I'll leave AFL behind.

they have to carry on with the cleanup, & add some strength to this group.

Well if I was your psychologist I would say you are either a very loyal person or have no life outside of football

I think that pretty much sums it up for most demonlanders

Whilst it is free choice how often you attend or whether you buy a membership and how you support the club you cant have it both ways. The "I dont want to harm the club" but I wont buy a membership or attend is an oxymoron.

It is not anyone place to judge and it makes zero difference to me what you do but by the same token i cant let the remark with "no offence to the club" just go because if you used to go and now you dont that is exactly what it is - an offence to the club.

edit - I am not having a go at your choices - but your deflection of the consequences of your actions.

stop following me around. I know what your delusional thoughts are.

"It's just a rough trot"...

When Neeld gets the shove very soon you little man are going to look like a right wally aern't you.

I voted yes, but many here will not.

What is of greatest concern is that my friends who are for a better word "sunny day Melbourne supporters" have completely left the building.

Don't bag these supporters, every club has them, every club needs them.

My mate who until last year still turned up to two or three games a year and when we were good turned up to 10 - 15 games will no longer go and watch Melbourne. He actually asked me to attend a non Melbourne game with him. He refuses to watch us, as he is sick of turning up to non competitive games. This hurts.

??? Interesting response

I will always pay my membership, it is not offensive to the club. I'd rather spend quality time with my ill mother. That is my choice, in my life and it's one I don't regret.

We've needed the big broom for a while now.... It's time to get tough MFC..... If Watts, Frawley, Sylvia or whoever wants out.... Then tell them to pack there bags.... It's time! If we have players that don't want to be there, they should [censored] off!!

    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,

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. 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.
