  • 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



Recommended Posts

We brought or is that bought Mitch clark in a couple of years ago as a key piece of our club moving forward, we were so impressed with him that we gave him number 11. that is no ordinary number and a lot was expected of him following after Jim. I think its safe to say that he has failed to show the leadership and devotion to the club that we were hoping for, as such his talking to others before really talking with the MFC feels like betrayal of both the club and supporters. I have my doubts about Collingwood taking him, only from the fact that Collingwood has made quite a few poor decisions on big men and forwards in recent years a couple more and Bucks and co may find themselves being turfed out of the club. Collingwood fans are far from forgiving, something Mitch needs to consider as their expectations will be far greater than lowly melbourne supporters who would probably be happy with a forward who can contribute 40-50 20 goals per year.

Edited for accuracy.

Clark for Lumumba is the perfect trade for us.

Both about the same age, both with off-field issues and both potentially great acquisitions for their new clubs, but at the same time, very high chance that it will go pear-shaped.

Clark could solve the Pies lack of a back-up forward/ruck for Cloke problems.

Lumumba could solve the lack of dash and taking the game-on problems that we have.

He also now prefers to play on the wing, which means we can offload the tall under-performing wingman that we have - Watts his name?

So it's a WIN-WIN-Win situation.

Damn you C&B now that you have changed your avatar I find myself staring at it and not reading anything else. It seems anything you say sounds plausible and of such high intellect.

You are hearing my posts in her voice aren't you, that was the idea lol

I agree, I don't see how it is possible that any 'health professional' could recommend that course of action to a client, seems to be horrible advice. I smell BS.

I smelled BS at the time of the announcment C&B

I can't believe people think a trade of Clark for HL is a good deal... All I see is one player kicking goals and dominating games, the other kicking it high in the air to any one and FFS we have enough of those kicks in our side.

I'd rather keep MC and him never play again than take a chance he plays for some one else and regains form which I believe he would.

Agree...Labamba( The attention seeker) isn't required. We need two star mids with Chunk & Dom and a two guns alongside Hogan and away we go to win land...

Not good average footballers like Labamba...who really are overrated anyhow.

Mitch C...you need to hit this on the head fast as to what you intend on doing with your career...your credibility is taking massive hits...but in fairness its the media making most of the statements to date..

Come back to Demonland and live up to the hype or stay retired...entertain going to the Pies or another and you will feel the wrath of the Demon army next year..especially me.

Absolutely no reason Clark won't return to form.

Except for those two minor career changing moments.

Suffering one of the more complicated and severe injuries in football which led to multiple soft tissue injuries whilst trying to work his way back last year as well as suffering from depression which resulted in him retiring from the game altogether.

But yeh.. No reason he won't return to form..

Hands up whose university studies/work habits/other daily tasks have gone down the toilet the last two days...

I spent a two hour lunch today with an old friend discussing the MC situation instead of talking about the usual stuff. Lots of hand wringing and "why us".

We go back a long way and both agreed ( over a glass of wine) we feel like the jilted girlfriend who has been dumped for the perky blonde cheerleader type. Life's not fair.

True but the perky blonde doesn't always stay well perky!

It was a deep and meaningful conversation. When I started to try reading my tea leaves re MC, I thought it was time to stop drinking.

    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

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
