  • 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.

150? Just me??

Anyone else noticed the MFC's coverage of Sylvia's 150?

Have they forgotten that Nathan Jones is also reaching that milestone this weekend? No mention on the website thus far...

Certainly no articles, or Jones-related features/stories - correct me if I'm wrong.

The MFC'S website is awash with Sylvia stories and timelines, etc - where are the stories and plaudits for who is, undoubtably, the greatest clubman, and, yes, player, for the Melbourne Football Club at this point in our history?

Just seems more than a little strange and unfair...

Is it just me?

P.S. - Demonologists, excuse the cut-and-paste...

If you look at the website, the main image has one on each side, I have a feeling we'll see a day or so for Jonesy starting Friday, just like the last day or so has been Col.

Well, I hope so anyway....

Screw the banner.

This is a player that could potentially top Neitz's 306.

Easily our best player for years. Where are the Nathan Jones stories?

Is this just a keep Colin campaign week?

I think this is a shameful oversight.

If it is a 'keep Colin campaign' then it seems to be working. Let us now focus on them both reaching their 200th game.

A psychologist would love this site. Full of negativity & conspiracy theories.

I am certain than if Melbourne ends up on 3 wins for the season then, Half-Life 3 = confirmed.

Totally agree.

I read in one of the papers that Jonesy's only missed 5 matches since his debut, he's an allround champion!

Same article mentioned that Howe hasn't missed one game since his debut, I think he racks up 50 this weekend - another champion of this team.

Well done fellas, I hope the club recognizes your contribution to date, as I know we do.

Eh, maybe Jones has requested they only make a big deal when he passes 200 and 300.

Talk about two completely different 'football journeys'.

I went to training this morning and asked Nathan what was going on......in his typical fashion, said "keeping it quiet''.........I told him he was being "expletive stupid" and deserved every accolade, thanked me, pulled his hood over his head and zipped off

I have received this back from the club

Thought some may be interested

"Thanks for your email.

To explain, this week Nathan Jones has done an exclusive with Fox Footy, a segment with his younger brother for the Robbo Show and will do a pre-game interview when he arrives on Saturday. His ‘time line’ was always planned to go up on the site on Friday.

In regards to Colin Sylvia, he did his first media appearances for the year on Wednesday compared to Nathan Jones who speaks with the media weekly.

I hope this clarifies that we did not ignore Nathan Jones in the lead up to his 150th.

Please feel free to contact me in the future if you have any questions.

Cheers,

Ryan"

OK, our admin hasn't triumphed in all areas, but why do we have so many on here who think the worst of the admin at every turn without at least waiting to see what happens? When these were posted it was still possible that Jones was planned to be parachuted into Skilled Stadium alongside 3 marching bands.

    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,

    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
