  • 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.

It amazes me the amount of unrespectful communication on this site towards others. I feel it is some people's mission just to tear apart every thread with no real desire to add something meaningful! Please remember this is a thread for all who love the Demons. We are all supporting and (hopefully) members of the same team. Any little piece of information should be welcomed and not trodden into the ground time and time again. The amount of abuse and bad comments towards some posters makes me cringe and I certainly hope that those that do these posts do not have a bigger issue to deal with like a bullying claim or possible suicide of the receiver as has happened on facebook and elsewhere and to a personal friend of mine.

Be nice and respectful. You may feel better for it!

Well said Demoneyes.

I hardly post for that exact reason. Too many times comments are quoted and shot down, it actually started putting me off coming to Demonland. Which is not good. We should all feel free to comment. If you don't like it, ignore it. Simple.

Well said Demoneyes.

Can we all respect each other? And can we stop making up rubbish and passing it on as "official sources".

Oh and why we are at it, can we make sure that next year on grand final day we dont post rubbish in every single thread on demonland?

I usually have you on ignore (what a great little feature of 'land), however I think you need to read again the two sentences you wrote above. Firstly because you spam threads over and over without adding anything meaningful (eg, GF day), and second because you persist with little pieces of information that are either already common knowledge or untrue. Respect is earned. Please try reading more and posting only when it really adds. This is the internet, if you think 'land is disrespectful, you may wish to avoid the other footy forum sites. 'Land is generally well behaved and certainly well moderated.

Finally, if you are feeling depressed, consider contacting Beyond Blue ph 1300224636 or lifeline ph 131114. I am serious.

I thought this was going to be another bs thread about how nobody in the AFL gives us any credit and blah blah blah. This is only marginally better.


Oh, sorry. Was that a disrespectful thing to say?

In regards to GF day I have already explained that elsewhere. I talk in general. I have scrolled through a lot of threads (obviously) and the same protagonists pop up with the same vitriole time and again. I tend to wonder why they want to be involved here?

Don't worry about Moonie's comments Clint - he is a very bitter fellow. He's probably just jealous of your popularity.

The thing is..... Demonland is a community. An online community, but a community non the less.

If someone in my workplace or group of friends acts like a fool or spouts rubbish to big note themselves, I will pull them up on it.

I will not give them any respect.

If you find yourself the target of multiple users disrespect, maybe ask your self what you are doing/done to earn this disrespect.

The great thing with an online community is that you can simply delete your account or change your name. Or even better, stop being a tool.

It actually matters little to me what they say! I can take it being involved in the industry. I am talking for others. I had the day off and scanned through countless posts and the same protagonists come to the fore every time. I don't know if they have miserable lives and are trying to convey that on others (or if its just following the Dees over the past few seasons!) but am just asking to be RESPECTFUL of others.

BBO = stalker

I would be proud to have BBO as my stalker. Unfortunately I will need to be relatively interesting to begin with. Therein lies the rub.

Well of course we have miserable lives. Do you think I'd be posting if I was lying on a beach in Tahiti next to Miranda Kerr? I probably would post but you get my point.

Yeah, let's make this a family friendly site... we all know how well that worked out for Demonology don't we.

What was the old saying? The family that lays prays together stays together.

Typo

Or as they said in Deliverance, "this boys got a nice prayin' mouth!".

    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

    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.
