  • 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.


LUNA PARK FAMILY DAY - Sunday, 16 February, 2014

I went and got there just before 10. I wondered around for a bit and tried to stay dry. Couldn't get into the white castle thingy because they had closed it off because the players were going to speak shortly. My Carlton supporting nephew came with us and could only get on 1 ride because of the queues. I managed to get some signatures on the posters you could get. Got Jonsey who is just the nicest guy and Roosy who was by the stage when the players were introduced and he was still signing stuff so he stayed to the end.

Got Crossy and Vince who were in a marquee. Surprisingly the line wasnt to long. The Melbourne woman told them they had to leave the tent to go to the castle thing as they were all being introduced soon. Bernie said well can you tell that to the people in the line so we dont look rude when we walk off.

All the boys seemed in a great mood and I think winning friday night had helped memberships with the momentum still going.

We do it to different clubs it seems when the coach speaks. Ive noticed at other family days the coach speaks after the players are introduced. We interview the coach separately. A lot of people would have missed out hearing from Roos.

The most interesting thing he said was he was surprised by how many people have been at training watching and at the intra club game. He said there would have been more people there than at training when sydney made the 2005 GF.

I didnt see PJ. I would have thanked him as well. Robbo is a good MC but geez he loves the sound of his own voice.

But it was a good day.

Speaking of kids, the MFC got a new member today, my latest grandson who I registered as a baby Demon (he's seven month old).

In going through my membership package to find a form to register him, I found the brochure the club sent to members with their season's tickets and right there in the middle of the box "Play a Role - Demon Heartland" is a picture of my oldest grandson wearing his Demons guernsey and pumping his fist. The photo was taken before the Gold Coast Suns game early last season. It's safe to day he'll have more opportunities to enjoy the Dees in 2014 than last year.

Just received a phone call from MFC telling me that I won 2nd prize at the family day. A 2014 signed jumper, which I should receive mid march. So freaking stoked

What, you are selling it?

Never say never but I think I'll hold onto it. Only problem is that I have no where to hang it. Plus I have no idea what they would be worth. Any idea?

Unlike the last few years, hopefully it is worth more at the end of the season.

Depends on whether it is the first 'team signed jumper' of the new and glorious era. That could make it pretty valuable in a few years time.

Appreciating asset, hold on to it for now. ;)

    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

    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.
