  • 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.

Some praise!!!

We had Collingwood players come to our school today, Harry O, Clinton Young and Jonathan Marsh (rookie list).

I asked them about Melbourne's improvement and their thoughts on the way we play. It was amazing to hear them say how much harder we are to play against and the competitive edge that has been added over the past year. They also commented on how brutal our defence has become to play against, stating during the Queens birthday game it was tough to break it down.

Most of all i was impressed to see the respect that has clearly been instilled into opposition players who no longer take us lightly. This time last year we had Collingwood players, Goldsack and Jamie Elliot to stated we werent too good at the moment.

Great to hear.

Paul Roos said when he got the job all he wanted was to be competitive and win the respect back from the AFL.

Roosy should be our PM.

still can't believe he is our coach.

"Roosy should be our PM"

Typically flippant comment from someone who clearly doesn't grasp the difference between the complexities of job demands between an AFL Coach and the job of Prime Minister of Australia!

Ah, Tony Abbotts response to escalating world conflict not "Up to Par"?? Dazzle?

Poor example,

Want to try again Champ?

Gotta say JVFP, when I saw the !!! in the title I assumed it was a 'picket fence' thread..

Paul Roos said when he got the job all he wanted was to be competitive and win the respect back from the AFL.

Unfortunately, you are right, and its reflected in the whole 3-year-limit succession plan thing.

I wish his real mission was to win a flag.

Now now, just because he systematically excludes the evidence bases for informed public policy, sees negotiation as an affront to his manhood, engages in gratuitous cruelty just to show who is in charge, and is setting out to cripple the medium-term national finances with a series of short-sighted interventions that rip apart programs which make a substantial net gain for government expenses...

Well, ok, I'm for the chimpanzee. At least a chimpanzee understands that smashing a banana against a rock because you are too lazy to peel it is kind of dumb.

Oh, hey, that was Picket Fence making those comments protecting Abbott. Lol, maybe he's a climate denier as well as an disposal efficiency denier?

Also, it was really nice of those Collingwood guys to praise the Demons in a context where they had absolutely no obligation to.

From the sound of it, it was more than just 'it was a tougher game than last year', but a real 'they were better opponents than last year'. A subtle but edifying difference.

Good to avoid politics in a footy forum, but anyone who interprets an enthusiastic "Roos for PM' remark as an attack or sleight on their favourite politician is just a tad over-sensitive (tad used ironically).

Great to hear/read that they find us harder to play against, wonder what would have been said if we beat them!

That response to a phrase often used to show respect for someone whose achievements you admire would seem to indicate that our friend and fellow poster is a few pickets short of the full fence.

My only question mark over the original post is... why are Collingwood players visiting your school; isn't it time to get a few Dees doing the rounds?

I can't resist it... I can't.... I know it is old, cliched and tired, but I can't resist.

The Collingwood players weren't actually 'visiting' as such, they were there for their fifth attempt at Year 8...

    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

    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,
