  • 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.


GOODBYE MITCH CLARK

Guess I must be the only one who is skeptical when someone says "I talked to my guy at the club and...." in an anonymous setting. I've only read it on Demonland a thousand times before. Maybe if I knew who his contacts were and, indeed, who he was.

I've no doubt GNF does know someone at the club (I don't think he's making it all up), but I simply cannot, ever, count on a poster I don't know as delivering 100% gospel. He deals in rumours, not facts, in my eyes. And I still question his motives.

Carry on.

At which point the site will go into meltdown and the mods won't have to shut it down to enforce a cooling-off period on us. :o

This site has survived:

1. Woey's trading

2. Scott Thompson's depature

3. Liam Jurrah

4. Jim Stynes' death

5. Schwab/Neeld/Bailey

6. Jesse Hogan

7. Viney F/S draft day

8. Numerous other draft days

9. Tom Scumbag Scully

10. Approx. 987 Jack Watts threads

It'll survive this too.

I think we all struggled.

Pretty sure many people were drunk posting.

Typing that list came way too easily and has depressed me beyond belief.

We are definitely a bunch of survivors here at the MFC. Made of tough stuff. The staff that I work with jump on and off the bandwagon of which ever club they support depending on how well they are positioned on the ladder. They all smirk as I religiously tip Melbourne each week, sign up immediately for my new membership and still have the MFC ring tone on my phone.

I am as gutted as the next person if all of these MC rumours are true. I will be sulky and cranky but quickly move on (I think so anyway....). There will be another MC in the wings somewhere waiting to get drafted by us.

I wasn't. Surely he knew the supporter base would go in to meltdown.

Let the club and Mitch tell their own story. If you have "inside info", keep it to yourself. He does not have the right to tell the club's point of view.

You tell me - what good has come from GNF's post?

Really Nasher? Come on mate, GNF's posts are some of the best things to come out of this site.

I would rather him exercise the right to pass on what intel he knows (~100% factual) as opposed to reading peoples hypotheticals.

The problems it's caused today lay with those that are too immature to think before they write. Not GFN.

"Around 100%" is probably somewhere less than 100% - that is exactly my point. If it were me, I would not post something that was going to cause a riot among MFC fans unless I was willing to put my name and my sources name to it. Without that, I just don't see how you could treat it as anything less than another hypothetical.

I'm clearly on my own (or in a very small crowd), so I won't carry on about it any further.

This saga is immersed in a pool of horse [censored]. This blokes a Gen Y chasing the bucks and im sick of these pre madonnas (him and maybe lamumba, labamba WTF he is) It stinks!

Do you mean prima donna?

I think he meant anyone that came before Madonna.

Maybe, had the injury and the depression not stolen him from us, he could have become our Marradonna ?? The first ie= prime maradonna?

GNF has great sources but his sources may not be fully informed of Mitch's intentions - Mitch or his agent are not his sources...

I can see the darkness coming but I won't react until it comes and a few hours later the sun will come up and we will move on again.

Never a more resilient club was born on this green earth.

Would be nice to get a few things going for us however...

I'll wait for the official word before jumping in, but I'm hoping it's not another kick in the nuts.

It seems like this clubs lot in life: 'So you thought something good was going to happen? Here, have another kick in the nuts. That will teach you to hope'

Dermott Brereton - "Having depression doesn't exonerate you from doing right or wrong"

I don't often agree with Dermie, but he is spot on there.

So true -- so rarely a good news story.

    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,
