  • 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.

Big victory for the Dees 19.16.130 to Bombers 5.7.37 and that result catapults us to top of the ladder on percentage after round 1.

Highlights for me were the captain's spear tackle in the first quarter and ucanchoose and his dead-eye threading of 3 goals. The stynes factor is still our most-capped player, followed closely by wis

A tentative yes here, but will just be making up numbers as needed. Zero endurance, little speed and a knee that gives way if I try and kick more than 30 m.

Will try speak with Shifu demon and see if he is interested. Will let you know later in the week.

Thanks, mate...

But it is starting to look like us older types will not have to risk life and limb...

We could sure do with your off-field help, however...

Hope to see you Sunday...

Just double checking, do we need specific shorts/socks, or is any colour ok?

Just a jumper, mate, don't worry about the rest..

I am getting close to sending to all a summary of do's and don'ts...

I send it every time, but newbies have no way of knowing, sorry...

We've done this so many times we tend to forget the new people...

I'll be there rollo but might not be able to play - come down with a nasty gut problem so it's a bit wait-and-see right now.

sorry to hear that, mate...

but don't worry about numbers...

we have my ideal number of confirmed players to make sure that we field a team...

and to make sure that people can head to the bench whenever they want...

there will be a job for you if you cannot play...

Look forward to seeing you Sunday...

Cheers mate, looking forward to sunday :)

have been trying to explain to my clients why I am not working Sunday...

I started with "I'm organising a footy match," but that required explanations that are too difficult and time-consuming...

You see, there are these people that post on an unofficial footy forum, and they play real footy games against people who post on other forums, and this is more important than your legal problem etc...

Now my people just say I have a family commitment...

anything for an easy life... :ph34r:

Here is notice sent to all this evening:-

Reminder we are playing this coming Sunday, March 2 at 11:00 am at Gosch’s paddock.

Melway map reference 2G E10.

Train to Richmond station, walk south down Punt Road (city side). If you come to Boulton Parade, you have gone too far.

CAR. Free parking may be available at Punt Road Oval. If not, you can try the Richmond side streets south of Swan Street, but I prefer the commercial car parks in Swan Street. There is one east of the intersection with Punt Road and one west of that intersection.

WEATHER. Extended forecast says 27 degrees, warm and humid.

People, its Melbourne so bring WATER and SUNSCREEN!!!

Helpers, we have never had enough additional water, so please do not slack off on your commitments.

Everyone, please bring additional jumpers (if you have them) for players without.

Scotty from Bomberblitz is organising a gold coin donation for Bushfire Relief.

See you Sunday at 10.30 am or thereabouts.

Players and helpers who have not committed, or who are late apologies, please update your status by posting on the thread on Demonland, by sending me a pm, or by sending me an email at ([email protected]) or by texting me on 0408 698 328.

Regards,

Peter Connor (aka Rollo)

Alright I understand I've already asked this but just 100%ing it because if I need socks I'll get them tomorrow, but are shorts/socks supplied or do we just bring any (Assuming colour doesn't matter)?

    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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
