  • 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.


Member Appreciation week

Recommended Posts

Got an email from the club about "Member Appreciation Week'

Seems like a reasonable idea to try and keep members involved in a totally crap year.

I know it is the last home game but it could be a dismal game on Sunday as the culmination of the week of prizes etc.

Has anyone else filled out the members survey yet. There are a few interesting questions and im sure they will get some honest feedback.

anyway the prizes look interesting. I would be happy to win the dinner at the wharf. I think if I won tickets to the b&f Id give them back. Dont think I could stand to be in a room where the players will be clapped and they will talk about the poor season and next year will be different. Beside we all know Jones will win it and so he should.

I filled it out.

Pretty sure I scored 0 for all on-field related questions. Well I'm not gonna lie.

Nice to be appreciated, now go out and win for us.

I saw no point in holding back or papering over the cracks.As far as I see they want to know how we feel. I accommodated this inquisitiveness :)

There are some things done well...and then there is the on field.!!!!

I hate East Fremantle (WAFL), South Fremantle (WAFL) and Fremantle (AFL) so I would appreciate them all getting smashed on the week end.

I was at the Fremantle Corporate Function a few weeks ago (when they played the Crows) and they were laughing at us and said no one wound admit to being a MFC Supporter after our 122 loss to North Melbourne.

Its time to put these upstarts back in their place, pity our team is so bad.

Yep I pretty much scored us a 0 and also I rated the board and administration pretty low as well.

I have spoken to a number of people who have done the survey and to a person they reflect what you have stated above.

I guess it is an annual survey but I think the club would be expecting the obvious result.

When you have the horrible year on and off the field that the MFC has had in 2012 and this year any thing less than a lot of criticism would be a surprise.

The only thing that will improve the situation in 2014 is getting people on the board who are competent, a good management team and then winning a few games.

Seems simple but by our efforts over the last decade show it is difficult for the MFC to achieve.

I am not holding my breath.

OD you will find most of us have answered the same way, but if you bemoan the last decade remember a lot on this board are members who have rights, most have sat on their hands for the last decade, so basically we got what we deserved

Not sure I agree with that Satyr

I think the majority put their faith in people and that faith was not rewarded.

e.g the board, at no stage over the last 7 - 8 years was there ever the opportunity to vote for board members.

Now did I stand for the board?

No because I had neither the money or the required skill.

But I don't believe the average member got what they deserved.

Nothing can possibly live up to the lofty heights of 'Lefty Round'

I liked lefty round. It seemed to me like the AFL were taking the [censored] out of themselves for constantly having 'theme' rounds.

The interviews were all facetious and Cloke was blaming being a lefty for his terrible goal kicking. The Luke Hodge ad was pretty funny too.

I thought it was a rare instance of self-deprecating humour for the AFL.

    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.
