  • 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.

All current day players. Enough looking back. It's time to look forward.

Just out of interest sake, who qualifies for a photo on the banner, or do they have to earn it.

For example, does watts qualify? Has dawes and clarke played enough games? Trengove has had A bad run, as has frawley. Howe?

Garland should get a guernsey but then again, many were writing him off a couple of months ago.

I am just suggesting that players earn their spot, for example, player of the month is "hogan", and up his photo goes.

Or you could do it where a player has unanimous support on this site (almost) and a ceromy is kinda held for the new 'champion' on the banner.

I just reckon a player per day is too quick and it loses a bit of importance. Also, the actual players might feel that it becomes like an honor board for them.

You can try to forget the past, but you cant delete the past.

So I would retain Norm and perhaps add Checker Hughers on the outer sides. (Checker gave us the Demons).

Stynes in the middle, Robbie, Barass. Then add in current players, only because what we have going around havent been much to rave about. Jones, Clark and a few others mentioned above, we are a bit thin for nominations that deserve it atm.

Honor before honors.

Jones has earned his place so far. Don't like the pic though. Something that show's him in action....all G&T.

The Fox and Checker on either side maybe as DeeVoted mentioned.

I would include Jimma but maybe hovering inside the MCG banner as a silhouette, watching over his Demon brethren.

From there i'm not sure whether we have any "past players" or just go with new. Maybe 2 or 3 past Champions with special significance but limited to 2 or 3 greats only. The rest new.

Whoever we place on there from here though....i think it should go to a straight out poll, with nominations from the Mods.

And please, no complicated Rangey style polls....just yes or no!!

The banner is completed and a new player will be revealed each day leading up to the game against the Saints. i appreciate the suggestions but I can't please everyone. I also can't just change the banner every few days or weeks as it takes a bit of time to do.

Love it. No other current players until they're earned it please

It makes sense.

The problem with our culture over the last 6 years is that we have gifted respect before it has been earned.

Please let players earn their photo on the banner, it may take 5 years to fill, and is only removed once they retire.

Long term strategic thinking.

A lot of selective memory by many on this site, Garry Lyon was a champion on the field don't let the decisions with the coaching choice sway your views on that. For me Demonland banner should consist of

Checker Hughes - Created the Demons Legend

Norm Smith - Greatest Coach the game has seen

Ron Barassi - Legend of the club and the game

Rob Flower - another club legend in barren time for the club

Jim Stynes - a legend, a great man and a true demon

These 5 should always remain on the banner and IMO the other spots can change with current coach, current captain/s & the Bluey winner from the previous season

You can you know :)

Sleep on this. Have the banner with the legends of the past. Then the banner drops down after 60 secs. to then display the New. or it morphs into a banner with the new. We get the best of both.

It keeps repeating at intervals

agree sort of, but can I suggest a refinement. respect is a birthright for all living things.. can be lost thru disappointment.

But If you mean we give them status or cred before they've done anything much,,, just on U-18's reps', then I'd agree.

* & I wonder if we could make a past & present players & admin's/directors picture album, on another page?

Watching Demonl(andy)'s daily selections for the banner currently holds more interest for me than the Match Committee's team selection on Thursday nights. Not sue if that says more about the team or my state of mind.

Therapy is just a phone call away

Whilst a rotating banner would be possible - done with Flash, javascipt or as an animated gif - it would not appear on most mobile devices.

    It's Game Day and the two oldest teams in the competition, the Demons and the Cats, come face to face in a true 8 point game. The Cats are unbeaten after 8 rounds whilst the Dees will be keen to take a scalp and stamp their credentials on the 2024 season. May the 4th Be With You Melbourne.

    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.

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

    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
