  • 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.

So long Col! Did some great things when you could be bothered.

Could have really been something but sadly i will always remember you as being the boy who never emotionally matured into a man.

By your own choice.

Wow. What a 2006 pic.

Says it all without saying much (or identifying the young woman).

For mine his latest inane comments only to go to dismiss any if possible lingering doubts that hes has always really been a lazy , selfish , non team orientated cancer within our midst. His delusion borders on a total misunderstanding of his own intellect and his demeaning seeking of excuses on narcisssm .

I have no idea what freo or indeed Lyon thinks he can do with HiHo nor do I care. Im glad we are ridding ourselves of this ilk. we were never going to climb whilst his type was amongst us.

cant wait to play freo

Always like Col but his comments that his best is still ahead of him anoyed me. Thanks for nothing Col, To be the player he wants and Freo xpects he needs to take responsibilit for his own performance rather than wait for a good team help him get better. He had the ability to drag the MFC kicking and screaming to where it needed to be but instead cruised through his career in second gear and then gaves us the thumb.

Hope he gets to play finals and recon he will as small forward for Freo but it will annoy me

Yep I agree. Under Ross Lyon he will get a huge reality check

And quite possibly will start to realise his potential.

...or not

Is that wall in the background the Melbourne Magistrates Court?

Don't know Undeterred - but you seem to recognise it. As lawyer or defendent?

And just for kicks, dare i say...CAPTION THIS:colinsylvia.jpg

"Can't wait to go Freo, Beamer! They're gonna make me into a star, just like I always wanted!

And I'm gonna be at a great club, just like you! And I hear Northbridge is a good as Fortitude Valley.

You were so right - karma IS a [censored]!

By the way, didn't manage to watch many Brisbane games this year - how many wins did you guys get?

Must be great playing under an inspirational guy like Vossy..."

I wanted Sylvia to be captain a few years ago. Since then I've watched him find himself second to the ball more often than not. Then he had to try to tackle, which he didn't do too well and, let's face it, he really didn't want to tackle. Players have to want to defend; it doesn't happen naturally. When he hit the ball running, every now an then, he was unbelievable. I don't expect him to succeed - a la Woey - and it is quite possible, he will be watching future demons performances thinking: " Geeezuuus. I could have been part of that!"

Clearly he did not want to be at the MFC any longer.

So good luck to him.

Now lets build a Club everyone wants to play for.

Despite his physique, he always thrived as an outside runner and finisher.

He is like a Buzzard. Reliant on others to do the job before they would involve themselves.

I am sure he will thrive at Freo where he has players to do things before he has to involve himself.

To that end - maybe he will play the best footy of his career...

    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.
