  • 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.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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
