  • 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.


Dawes Conversation

Loving Dawes attitude in his latest offering on the club page. Clearly an intelligenct and articulate man,

I think he is a great asset as an on and off field leader and potentially as the third forward. I recon he is worth every cent we paid for him and I hope the scumbags come to realise what a mistake they made in letting him go.

I am all a quiver antcpating watching a forward line picked from Clark, Hogan, Dawes, Howe, Kent and Fitzy next year.

Dawes is terrific, absolutely no nonesense and determined to make the best of himself. Loved the line that he think he and Mitch will do some damage.

He must be a chance for leadership this year.

Talks a good game but we have to see it consistently on the field.

Aye, thats the reality of it.

Hopefully we do though :)

Gee if we could just land two experienced midfielders to help out Jones, at least to give these bloke some supply and get the opposition worried.

Just needs to get his body right and injury free summer which will see him a much better prospect in 2014.

They all do, actually.

It would be a great change.

How are you awake?

Save for Jones, no Demon has done anything for the better part of a decade.

Dawes gets talked up because we have been in desert for ages, and we will take whatever we can get.

Clark too.

At some point we will cease to roll our eyes at the kinds of things he is saying.

He happens to believe he is part if the solution; that he can help. And with the recent departure of someone who had 10 times the chances to do something, we should keep in mind that while it is frustrating to hear the sweet nothings, it is better than witnessing ten years of sweet nothing.

Dawes will surprise a few I think, and I hope it is as early as 2014.

That IMO is the nub of people's skepticism rpfc.

We have heard it all before over the last decade and a number of others.

I and a quite a few others now believe in what we see.

Talk is cheap, action is the only thing we believe.

Now you can call us negative if you wish but that negativity comes from years of listening to promises that have never happened.

Dawes is probably a good guy and the right type to have at the Dees, yes he makes all the right noises and he has performed on the big stage before.

I will believe when he plays 20 games and kicks 35 goals in 2014.

Woulda, shoulda, coulda

I heard it all

and still my team is the worst in the AFL

words now mean little to me

give me action

for the coin that he is on, the MFC nrrds a player who can play more then 12 games and score 12 goals in a season.

if he such value to the Club off field then make him a coach and get someone on the list who can actual play

    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.
