  • 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?)

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.

And you still have money to donate!!!!!

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!!!!!

Haha damn straight mate, keep up the good work

There are many people who value the site a great deal but will only donate when there's a call to action like this.

I wonder if we could have a donation progress bar, that gives users the target to reach every 6 months or every year. At least then, we'll know where we all stand.

I prefer to stay just a member. Been banned a few times and I'd hate to become a "defrocked" life member. I'll just make regular donations.

That's very generous of you but I would prefer you kept the money if you can't afford it. It's only a footy forum. Volunteering and donations to proper causes are more worthy. Thank you anyway.

Andy, I had a thought earlier today about this, but wanted to get a better idea of how many post multiples on the site on a regular daily basis.

What if: we have a few categories:-

* new rookie member: registered avatar, Read Only - One off 2 months: Free of cost...

* new member: Read only - 6 months: $10.00...

* new member: Full function - One off 6 month subscription: $20.00...

* Demonland: Full member: Annual 12 month subscription: $30.00...

* Demonland: Concession 12 month subscription: TBConsiderd ??? _ _ _ _ (pensioners, health care card, fulltime students).

* if a member needs to be suspended, maybe back to read only for a time ???

might be worth some thought?

Just come back from a month in Italy and was shattered when I couldn't get the AFLlive on my ipad or computer. I rang AFL Melbourne and after a very annoying wait (I did say I was ringing from Italy) they advised oh no live play was not available in Italy - rest of Europe yep but not Italy. I was shattered but listening to AFLlive radio V Carlton was almost as good. Oh yes have never purchased and will be happy not see the "love me long time" girls. My donation is forthcoming!!

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.

Aah, but if opening Demonland only got you to the Enter Site Page, with Adds & basic Demonland & Mfc information, but not the forums, then the reader would have to register for a particular membership.

Even if only a rookie membership for free?

If indeed this stuff is at all possible to create.

How do I get the mobile skin as a subscriber?

Mobile skin refers to the smartphone version of the site to makes it easier to read on an iphone or android type device and is not a protective cover for a mobile device.

If you are referring to the former what device do you own?

As I said earlier I think this can have it's own set of problems. Forums need new blood to grow. Forcing people to pay might scare people away and I don't think it is fair to make people pay for something they can't afford. If we were churning out huge amounts of our own content then things might be a little different. As it stands I am comfortable with allowing our users to decide if the want to contribute. People have been very generous and that is great. We've had about 8 or 9 months of hosting paid for today. We still need more to help out with the software costs. Thanks again everyone who has contributed.

Can I get rid of this new skin? It is easier to read and very good. But I like to make things harder for myself and would like the old view back.

how about a separate section on the front page saying something like services or business of posters ?

I used to advertise my pinball company on a couple of pinball .aracde chat forums

they had a section called sponsors and we all had a small section as in a thread and it had our logo's

we could post specials in there for members

it could be a win win , it opens up sales/services for members and the sales/services go to members

just a thought

also happy to increase the lifetime member upto 100 , ( will top this up tomorrow )

this site as been great to read and keep upto date on whats going on , I don't post much but really enjoy site

thanks

Just payed membership, but I will miss all those gorgeous women wanting to meet and marry me. Made me feel like I was special (oh hang on, I am special, I'm an MFC tragic!).

Sometimes I log in as a guest just to see the ladies who want to meet and marry me, and the cougars who "live near me"....... :)

    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.
