  • 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.


Mods Please?!

I started the "On the couch" thread to create some meaningful football related discussion.

The thread was locked/?

I can only assume it was locked because of poster abuse!?

If it was locked as a result of this, Instead of locking the thread, can I suggest a ban for those posters who do not like "Robust" debate and stoop to abuse of posters such as me when they do not agree with a view! That way a thread can continue and debate can continue.

Hnmm interesting response!

Interesting in that I posted an admiration thread for St. Kilda and Aiden Riley and no one seems to complain

and I spose when people below say I am a DH well that probably means this thread will/ should be locked as well??

I dare say if poster abuse continues lets "Ban the poster"

I am entitled to an opinion and that is what a forum should be about, but obviously it is not!

Pity!

PF!

You post the same thing every time. Toumpas sucks, Wines is great, we get it.

Keep it all in the one thread, instead of [censored] all over the place and we have to try to avoid it at every step.

Robust, lol.

Please!? alright...

Can't recall ever saying that Toumpas "sucks" and for FWIW I hope Toumpas becomes a very good player for the MFC.

Anyway back to the tread I think poster abuse should be acted on.

Otherwise good football oriented people like myself that have great footy insights will be discouraged from posting here.

Now that would be a pity!

Maybe not using the word “sucks” but you’ve slagged him off plenty of times

I’ve noted you skulking around Casey threads inquiring about Toumpas so you can give him yet another whack & bemoan our not picking Wines

It’s pathetic – some 60 year old using an internet alias to bag a young kid trying to get his career. Borderline creepy.

And as for your “people like myself that have great footy insights” I’d suggest your view of footy is one dimensional and dated. 2005 at best Fence. The game has moved on. Time you did too

Thanks for your "Candour" Biif my age is waay out but thanks for opinion ( Which after all is what this forum is for)

I would say one thing. I have always specified that we needed more grunt Mids when Jimmy Toumpas was drafted .

Still believe that. But having said that I hope Jimmy Toumpas develops into a very good MFC player.

He has to!

I don't think I can be any fairer than that??

    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

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
