  • 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.


Kennett future MelbourneFC President?

I hate comments like the one you're referring to. It's so easy to anonymously pot a bloke like she did without anyone being able to verify the information. If I had the same types of experiences I may express reservations, but I wouldn't do it in the fashion the poster did. Although you'll always get others "liking" such comments because it merely endorses their own ill-informed view. Imo, all of the views about Kennett are either biased or ill-informed. Naturally, including mine.

in case you missed the tenet of the post...It was to suggest the original whack might want to be fleshed out...at elast some...at least in nature.. for the exact reason you allude to...annonymity together with grievance is not always the recipe for anything that ought to taken too seriously. He might be correct , he might not, he , like us all as you quite rightly mention have a bias, of one sort or another.

As the tone of many of the posts above support JGK seems to be either hated or loved. (Well maybe not loved) My point being that the last thing the MFC needs at the moment is such a devisive figure at the helm.

If he can turn the tide I think he will be more embraced don't you?

Sheedy, we passed him up 5 yrs ago, mistake in hindsight.

Kennett, are we going to overlook him too? Will we live to regret it???

Two of the biggest well known people in the state/ football.

One has a proven track record in football the other doesn't.

Hardly, I don't see anywhere that he is endorsed.

I think you will find a restructure of the board and probably a new president maybe as early as this weekend.

The Buddy Ball is AFL endorsed and he hasn't kicked any goals for a while either

'Kennett for president' is only slightly more sensible than the recent 'Tebow time' proposals.

Leigh 'retired from all coaching ten years ago and not at all interested' Matthews for coach was another chortler that got spun out by someone recently.

Who ARE these comedians coming up with this stuff?

So if Bozo the Clown (only marginally different to Kennett) offered his services, it should be taken seriously?

Kennett is a million to one chance. Forget him.

It is time to take on a completely fresh approach to fix something that has been broken for 50 years. If it takes non Melbourne supporters, like Jackson and Kennett to rebrand us, give us corporate governance, profile, gravitas, sponsorship, respect, even success (dare we dream) - then why not? We are severely lacking in all these areas. Kennett's performance on Footy Classified early this year was almost statesman like in its depth of understanding of the issues within the AFL and in his role at Beyond Blue similar understanding of the frailties of the human condition.

I have not watched footy classified since , he was a breathe of fresh air on there

It's a throwaway line referring to the fact that demetriou has backed jeff as a capable president for the dees

I'm certain that if Bozo the Clown were to run some would support him

James 1:5 , 6 “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.”

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    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.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to
