  • 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.


THE END OF DEMONLAND (Coming Soon?)

Can I suggest you up the Lifetime Membership to a nice round $100, and then all previously subscribed members with Lifetime memberships could treat the $40 difference as a donation. Just a thought. When you think about it, $40 is really just a few cups of coffee, so shouldn't hurt too many.

Good suggestion and I have also donated $40 to bring my life membership up to $100.

Demonland is a must read site for all Dees supporters and would be sadly missed.

Can't let that happen particularly for us interstaters!

What about posters like Ben-hur that actually add to the forum? Can there be a IQ scholarship for the odd poster that is needed to (a) lift the IQ; (b) stir the pot; © give critical feedback?

I would call it the Clayton Collard Scholarship

If we had a cost for changing identities, I suspect Ben Hur's alter ego may pay for the site himself/herself single-handedly.

Disclosure: Technically I've changed my name once to correct a spelling error.

I thought it sent you a reminder email. Other than that I'm not sure there is anything I can do about that as it is built in software to the system. I deliberately did not want them to auto-renew because I hate it when sites or companies do that. The only thing I can suggest is that when you start seeing Ads on the site again it is time to renew.

Wouldn't the membership status under your avatar change?

I dont know where id be if i didn't have demonland to read and vent in..... Jeez.... This place has made me feel apart of the MFC for years, and probably more than the MFC themselves.... Umm... Maybe you guys should contact the MFC, maybe they could help out with the finances here... Who knows?

Surely its in the best interest of the club, to keep this site going!! and guarantee its online community will survive... With online communication being the future of business, this site gives a huge boost and head start in this area for the MFC... Maybe we could advertise the MFC sponsors here and sell MFC memberships here? Demonland is a massive part of the MFC, surely they could through in some cash....

The site allows MFC supporters to share thoughts and knowledge - without this site the MFC would probably have 100 Satyriconhome's rocking up to training asking the players questions..... maybe we could threaten them with that.

what are we talking for say a year of operating costs, probably nothing in the context of the club's expenditure.. they owe us this much for staying true through so much BS! Plus from a business POV it is a great marketing move

I'm going overseas for a few weeks after the Doggies game. Please don't kill off Demonland. There's nothing else to read in Costa Rica.

Costa Rica!

Surely not the whole time there WJ

I will do my best to keep us afloat.

Have a great trip

Thank you so 0.03% my god that shows something.

Even if half the members are not active we still have less than 1% supporting the site.

Fire up guys pay your way if you value the site.

You speak wisely and well, oh ancient one.

Get on board you freeloaders.

Should have a Survivor style culling of the least liked posters, but if you've donated then you're safe from being nominated.

I would just like to add that donating or taking out a subscription doesn't give posters the right to act like a [censored].

Wait a minute perhaps an incentive would be to allow donators and subscribers a way around the [censored] word filter.

We would be [censored] rich!!!!!

I'm sure there's money to be made by inventing an on-line swear box.

I think it'll be more helpful receiving annual payments so I bought a yearly and donated an extra $70.

Thanks to everyone that contributes to the site, it's my 2nd favourite thing on the Internet, besides porn.

I rarely post (or even login), but I do check the site out regularly.

Time to pay my dues.

Cheers, and good luck.

G'day KK.

Please resume posting!

Bit outside the box. I think the ads need to be more intrusive and annoying. I really don't notice much difference between logging in as myself or as a guest. More ads might make people want to get rid of them more.

Just my opinion but I would like to think Demonland is independent of the MFC.

We can then speak our minds on the MFC without fear of offending or being beholding to any MFC sponsor.

The MFC can then say "nothing to do with us guys just an independent fan site"

I am also not sure the club would be overly upset if the site closed. I would be tipping that the players are advised not to read it.

I love this site - read it every day. Being the only Dee supporter in a family of Pies and Roos supporters, you guys keep me in the loop and strangely enough sane and informed.

I am a life member but happy to cough up some more$$.

I'm an ex MFC/MCC member and am in Italy. Just purchased my new wife, myself and our 2 dogs (yes MFC has pet memberships) new memberships, she's a Carlton supporter but bad luck! I'd be dead over here without the constant footy updates and bickering! Happy to help out.

    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.

    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
