  • 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 agree. The headlining of Jeff is/has been Jeff's primary concern throughout this process.

Total rubbish from Kennett. Still won't name who's with him. Still can't say exactly what he wants to do to the club. Still hasn't explained why he's gone from wanting us to merge in April to wanting us to be a strong brand in June, aside from the obvious fact that he wants to stoke his ego by being President.

Go away Jeff.

If he had any backers then they have probably fled to talk to the club as all other Demons have been doing.

The AFL in conjunction with interested parties and those on the current Board can come toghether and have a Board that is connected and powerful and reflects the many interested and loyal Demons that are willing to help.

We have never needed a divisive election headlined by an outsider intent on applying blame, getting members mad about it, and riding in on those stirred emotions.

I think his talk of commissioners is different to what he first suggested when pushing to become President. I wonder if he appointed commissioners to run the councils who had a differing view point to him and his government as he suggests the AFL do, probably not but I do not mind the idea of a commission rather than a board until things are stabilised.

so he went to all the trouble of writing an open letter to MFC members, yet he still didn't tell us who is on his ticket?

He is wasting everyones time now

[censored] Jeff

I thought you and Jeff had a bit of a bromance happening? Such memorable quotes included:

  • "Id have Kennett in a heartbeat."
  • "In -... Jeff Kennett - President... That would be my dream"
  • "pretty sure that Kennett will be a Melbourne supporter as soon as he becomes president"
  • "I reckon he would comfortably win the vote."
  • "Kennett would never have copped that 500k fine if he was our president"
  • "anyone who actually thought Kennett was serious when he said we should merge with North must have rocks in their head" [my personal favourite]

Dont forget the quote where I said id need to see his ticket first.

Which he still hasn't shown. We literally do not know one persons name thats backing him.

Im starting to think hes full of [censored].

Unfortunately he is.

There are two things I think of in regards to Jeff

  1. Hubris
  2. Duct Tape

I am going to wait for the AFL reply....Part of me still believes a Jeff Kennett as President for 5 years is exactly what the MFC needs to wake itself up & join the modern world.

So many Melbourne (Good) people have come up short.

If it aint the Gibbster, who has the strength & presence to move the old girl.

Ah yes the great Inez and Charlie Foxx song.

If you wanted the lyrics correctly, they were in fact " hush little baby" not "buttercup"

And we all know your feelings about me but you insist on constantly following me around attempting to contort yourself into a position to dump on me.

Let the hate go, mjt.

Don't let it consume you.

There were some real politicians - Joe and Russ. Flo's scones, bags full of cash and , of course, memory lapses. Where did those bags come from? Politicians today are a dull lot!

Or is Jeff just Jeffing us all for his mate?

[censored] off Jeff!

They're playing games with us. We know that Jeff was in contact with Stockdale about the board ... & we know that Stockdale is said to be busy with the federal election, & people said a week ago he was unwilling to do anything until September was out of the way.

I always wondered why Jeff wanted onboard, & then heard about Stockdale & the strategy is possibly scene, timing & charades ... a tactic to allow Stockdale to both run the election & the board @ Melbourne?

Is Jeff just shopfront that will pullout when the time is right?

Jeff, show us the messages from the AFL, or don't they exist?

I haven't often agreed with you dee-luded but you can go straight to the top of the class on this one. It's been floating around for a couple of weeks now and it's exactly the sort of underhanded political gamesmanship that isn't needed at our club right now. I'm sick and tired of these divisive political types who work together chipping away undermining others, then conveniently make their play for power when the time is right for them.

Heard on the radio this morning that Mike Fitzpatrick has written to Jeff telling him "thanks for your offer, but your services aren't required', bit strange that the AFL could tell a member of the MFC that they couldn't run for the position of President.

Does that confirm that we are effectively in AFL controlled Administration?

    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

    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

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
