  • 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.


WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - PAUL ROOS

West Coast's list doesn't look in as good a shape now - as it did a couple years ago.

Kerr and Cox have a year left in them, Glass is on his way out.

Next year, West Coast will have to fast track their developing rucks for when Cox departs.

Nick Nat is fairly injury prone.

If rumors are true that Shuey is leaving, then they'd want to hope like hell that Gaff doesn't follow him.

I thought Shuey and Gaff had signed earlier in the season. Selwood I thought was the recent query?

When Roos says he's now 50-50 to coach us,i think we could be reading this wrong.

It could also mean he's 50-50 to coach either Melbourne or West Coast.

I wouldn't rule him out of the WC job if Woosha doesn't re-sign and his best mate Rossy Lyon is over there.

This is just the sort of thing that could happen to us at the 11th hour,the Eagles swoop and we're in the crapper again.

Just Thinkun

I tipped this 5 days ago.

3 nights ago On The Couch he said he'd make a decision on Tuesday.

That's giving West Coast a deadline.

He's gone!!!

He has history with Brisbane, and still said no, he publicly declared an interest in the MFC job, met the leadership group, most of the media and demonland have been convinced it's a done deal, clearly we are still way out in front if he hasn't signed already.

why would HE cause this media circus if he wasn't going to take the job? he isn't that sort of person.

if he won't move to Brisbane he certainly won't move to perth.

I think another example of credibility rating may have been required...

Bhutan? Seriously? Of all the places...< Hoping Selwood's review was a trigger point for Worsfold quitting.

Bhutan is actually one of the few places I want to visit before my time is up...just me and my camera.

It's one thing to be paranoid, it's another to abuse someone based on your own delusion.

If you watched the WC presser, Woosher caught them by surprise - I'm thinking he may be talking to Lions, I'm also believing WC when they say they didn't see this coming and haven't spoken to any candidates. Their words were along the lines of "we have more respect for Woosher than to have spoken to any prospective coaches before tomorrow"

we are safe guys, or if not, its time to follow Storm

I hope they give some sort of indication at the Bluey just to put everyones mind at ease.

I hope PJ doesn't bend just so that a few worried supporters can be put at ease. He's on top of it.

Is there anyone more resilient than a MFC supporter? Or anyone just a numb?

Dees supporters are like one of those M C Escher drawings in that we are going up while we are going down.

Can you unsign once you have signed?

Coming weeks? My heart won't last another 3 - 4 days!

    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

    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.
