  • 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.


All about Mitch Clark


All the Jacks

Recommended Posts

I think we have to calm down and look at what is in front of us: the season hasn't begun yet, so all that needs to be sorted is Clark on the LTI (if required) and his own personal issues and his rehab.

There is only speculation on anything else at this point. They will be answered when decisions are being made towards August/Sept.

There is nothing to be done on this for months.

Many MFC supporters, myself and OD included have stuck through far worse than the loss of a player. It is, above all, a team game

i don't mean the loss of clark, I'm referring to what he brought to supporters in the darkest times, and how it might have appeared so much worse had the prospect of clark and a few others not given us some hope. thats why i think he has been a valuable person at our club.

What an indictment on demonland that the two threads had to be merged due to certain posters not understanding the concept of "support". I'm ashamed to share the so footy team as some of you.

Mods too, poor form. So much for trying something to support one of our own.

Stuie - the mods merged the threads formally but they were already filled with the same stuff.

Whether one sees it as realism and strategic or cold and snide.

Your positive message would be lost on here anyway; players should not read this site.

It would have been pretty cool to keep the thread positive and then link it to Mitch's twitter or something

The idea was to have a thread of positive messages of support that could be shown to said player. The problem was there's not enough maturity here to make a decent cheese let alone understand that concept.

spot on. some pretty self centred posts. too many people worry about money and disregard happiness and well being.

Stuies thread was a great idea and never should have been merged with a thread about offloading Mitch because he is injured, what's worse is that people who claim to be demon supporters couldn't embrace the chance to say something positive and vent on another thread, i mean it really isn't that complicated.

are you crazy or just plain dumb stuie

no player should be on demonland (same for other clubs' forums) nor should a poster encourage it

are you naive enough to think a player could come on and just view one thread? FMD

There's plenty of support in this thread for Mitch.

Relax, stuie.

Please stop supporting a system that is not working.

Not working for who? Not working for the self-selected group that is Demonland, or not working for the club?

It's a competitive sport, it would seem logical to give out as little information as necessary.

When they're injured or unfit, they don't play, when they're fit they do. About all we need to know, surely.

Most clubs have away of figuring out what the real situation is ( with other clubs) Not much gets by in that trade un-noticed. There are grapevines etc

I for one dont like being treated as some gullible idiot. Theres no requirement to post scans or detailed medical reports but a little bit of up front reality and honesty wouldnt go astray.

Noone believes 4 to 6...no one believes practically anything from the FD. Thats a funny sort of partnership with their membership id have thought. They want us all to buy in ...and literally to BUY in !! Then a bit of quid pro quo id ask.

mate there is no point having a forum if you block the opinion of certain people arbitrarily - besides, the players are under instructions not to read sites like this, for very good reasons

Here's an idea: why don't you, or someone else for that matter, sift through the merged thread and select some of the most positive/supportive posts, compile them into a word document and email it to the club. Then they can pass it on to him if they reckon it is appropriate.

I really like Stuie's thread, but imagine if Mitch read the post and thought I like this site lets see what else is on here.... it probably would not have helped our cause.

Really looking fwd to the season to start and hopefully some better times will provide a better environment for the players start to realise some success. I think there are quite a few supporters on here who need to show a bit more respect to our players who have endured the past 2 years, in particular those who has an impact in games against all odds. When Mitch does return he should not have to do superman efforts to lift up for a team low on confidence.

True, but instead of sending him a link to this site (which I hope no player ever reads), sending him all the positive comments in another form couldn't hurt.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
