  • 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.

Some measure of Mitch's commitment to his footy, and more generally the Club, will be whether or not he shows up tonight.

My money says he won't bother, preferring to post photos taken around his house (his latest subject) on Twitter.

Six weeks to recover from a 'hammy twinge' - you're kidding aren't ya?

Are you saying he's pretending to not recover from a twinge so he can concentrate on his photos for a few weeks? Ha.

I don't doubt that your source truly believes this, but it just doesn't sound likely to me. Compared to footy, the money in photography is a pittance. And the good thing about having a passion for photography is that's an any time, any place thing - there's room in your life for a career *and* a photography addiction.

He has rocks in his head if he throws away his footy career for the camera. Even if he does want to make a career out of it, he would surely prefer to earn several hundred thousand a year for a few more years to get himself further ahead financially first.

He will never be on several hundred thousand a year when this contract expires and he would be aware of that, he's going to have to take a massive pay cut, don't be surprised if heads back to Perth when he takes offence to what the club offers him .

It will depend on June to August 2014 and 2015.

He will need some very big games in that period to gain a good contract beyond 2015.

Right now there is not another AFL club that would be interested in him.

Miracles do happened but not very often.

It's been fairly well documented that Mitch 'sings from a different hymn book' than your average AFL player.

What I'm on about is the fact that Mitch's passion for photography has overtaken his enthusiasm for footy. It's got nothing to do with how much money he can make from one profession or the other.

He'll be on good money for the next 3 years whether or not he even steps on the ground.

If you follow https://twitter.com/MitchClark11 there's sweet FA about the football side of his life in comparison with his photography.

There's a good reason for that. He hasn't been playing...

In the absence of definitive evidence, conjectures are supported by emotional escalation and the formation mutually hostile groups for which the chosen conjecture(s) are a talisman of membership. Initially 'soft' differentiation between groups is reinforced over time as hostility leads each group to disagree with members of the other on any available subject of conjecture, eventually leading to an irreconcilable division between the groups and a commitment to the declared conjectures even in cases where new and decisive evidence becomes available.

Welcome to Demonland; origin of the 21st century conflict known as "The cult wars of Mitch Clark and his foot".

Can we call the breakaway "Mitch's foot is stuffed, go Pederson" faction the "PodiPedo Peddlers"?

God forbid a player have an outside interest...

Nathan Jones has his own website and surfs a sh!teload, but because he is playing at near AA level - he can have a hobby and a distraction...

Demonland loves going into meltdown, but unless you are M_9 how do you know it was tongue in cheek? Does chookrat=M_9?

No sane person would conclude that MC will hang up his footy boots because he spends more time posting online about his photography than he does footy, therefore I concluded it must be tongue in cheek.

Am I reading this all correctly, have people actually lost their minds?!?!?!? Why is there two pages about Mitch wanting to leave footy for photography when some guy says he has a "source"? I'm out...

It would be funny if it weren't so worrying. I don't think I've seen a better example on Demonland before of the pathology that can be whipped up from pure inane speculation.

Are you saying he's pretending to not recover from a twinge so he can concentrate on his photos for a few weeks? Ha.

He's very recently bought a 35mm Leica (an M3 I think) and has moved to old school silver halide film instead of digital.

As well he has expressed an interest in processing the film himself and also printing.

I can well understand how he may have less time for footy.

The photography does seem for the moment to be an all-abiding passion.

OMG he wants to learn about wet-plate photography. He's left out the Theory and Practice of Using a View Camera.

At least he'll struggle to find anyone in Melb with any interest in wet-plate education.

The View Camera is another matter.

Fair enough chookrat. I must sharpen my joke antennae. But I haven't seen M_9 post anything subsequently that indicates he meant it tongue in cheek. I wonder if he really believes it or is he just maintaining the joke.

Sue - no worries. I think that future generations will draw a link between mental illness in Demonland posters and their offspring and MFC's performance during the past 7 years. The impact of 186, its lead up and fallout will be found to have had wode reaching effects, the symptoms of which we are seeing now.

Hard to be passionate about something you haven't been allowed to do for 2 years.

Give him one good game and he'll be back hook line and sinker.

Just look at us supporters. One pre season win and it's all roses and champagne around here.

He was on fox tonight and said he is starting to ramp up his training again but didn't give a return date or round which is to be expected.

He also said he was having soft tissue injuries which he and the club thought might happen cause of the nature of his original injury.

    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
