  • 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.

After hearing from Nate Jones how absolutely stocked all the players were to see and hear the supporters at Gosch's Paddock to watch training, I thought the players and the Club could do with another round of support especially as the game is against the ferals.

Wizza did such a great job last time I am hoping that he will come on board and put his fantastic organisational skills to good use again.

As it is a long weekend and a Monday game hopefully training will be on the Saturday morning and we could get an even bigger crowd down there with lots of kids, dogs (Demon Dog will lead the pack)etc.

I am hopeful we can get the Club to put a tweet out about coming to training and also if we can get the cheer squad involved again and bring down their "faces" that the kids really liked last time.

How does everyone feel about this. Does it have legs?

Well I didn't expect much goodwill from you so obviously I can tick you off the list.

On the upside I will have a moon boot on shortly, which is almost official MFC merchandise these days!

I would love a big crowd down at the paddock to support the boys and give strength and spirit to the new caretaker coach. Time to let the boys go out and play footy, without the shackles and with some renewed spirit.

The new beginning, starts soon. Giddyup!!!

Your enthusiasm is really good during this awful period. I think supporters form on the goodwill front is about the same as MFC performances. Don't expect too much more goodwill until the club makes some tangible change.

I'll be there. The boys appreciate the support. It's too easy to jump on a winner. Well-done for organising.

Spoke to someone at the Club today about promoting the "rally" of supporters down to training on the Saturday morning. Although still to be confirmed he felt that there would be an open training on the Saturday morning and that the Club would help out by tweeting etc.

Would be great to get some ex players down as well. If anyone on Demonland is an ex player or knows someone that is maybe a quiet word.

Anyone else got any thoughts how to make this really work.

Club website is saying that the only open session before Queens Birthday clash is the Friday training at Gosch's.

I will confirm with the Club tomorrow but is anyone interested in getting down to training on the Friday rather than Saturday. I know Saturday would be preferable for everyone but there doesn't seem to be much interest at the moment even if the Saturday training was open.

The players really appreciate the support and it has been a tough week for them (again). I am sure the FD would also appreciate any sign of life amongst the supporter base.

I will post the Club's answer tomorrow.

I have spoken with the Club this morning and there is an open training session on Sunday at Gosch's at 10.00am

This is a great time for everyone to be there with as many kids and dogs etc as possible.

The Club are putting a tweet out to encourage everyone to come and support the players.

Please everyone put your anti CS,DMc/Board,BP,BR feelings aside and come and support the boys. As I have said before they were absolutely flabbergasted to see everyone last time still so before such an important game in the Melbourne psyche being played out on Monday lets get behind them again.

To all you Demonlanders go easy on the vino Saturday night, get the kids and dogs up and dressed in Melbourne gear and get yourselves down to Gosch's. It was a great atmosphere last time and we all know how well the boys train so be there.

Demon Dog and I don't want to be the only ones there. Not a good look.

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    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,
