Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.

I'm going to wait until round 3 to sign me and family up this year, depending on results

we've all suffered over the years re the dees. It goes without saying. But FFS we're not a club that can afford have too many "passionate" supporters signing up only in the good years.

You're either on or you're not.

We are a club not a bandwagon, we need your support sign up now, everyone in my house of 4 is a paid member and that includes the Pie supporting son and the Bluebagger wife

Living on the other side of the world hasn't stopped me and my family from signing up for 2015. In fact, this is year #10 of being an international member.

If you're dedicated enough to have ~650 posts on a forum dedicated to this team, you have to also be dedicated enough to sign up to support them financially. DO IT!

Bugger that and I wish I was different, but I'm not going to sign us up and watch us get pumped by Gold Coast and GWS!

You'll be watching it whether you're signed up or not... my youngest son and I are both signed up and traveling down to Melbourne from Sydney to watch the opening round (my son's birthday present).

The club needs members in order to survive when it is going through rough times, so fair-weather supporters just don't cut it in my book; you're either in for the whole journey or you may as well find another club to follow.

Is it?

And you don't have to buy a membership until you desire to (if ever), I know there would be a lot of people waiting to buy memberships but you are baiting and flaming those on here who have already paid up by inferring we are a bunch of losers for paying up to watch a bunch of losers.

The fact is that thousands of us, deep down, would never not buy a membership - call it an idiot tax, I don't know.

I believe that success is the reward for my support, not the other way around.

Mate, I'm just choosing to do it this way this year, so when we win the first game and even the second or third we have an extra 5-10 thousand members join, which might send a message to the players.

Would that message be: people like winners?

Everyone already knows that.

As I said - there is nothing wrong with the 10k (hopefully) bandwagon members out there, but trumpeting it and implying others are chumps for signing up before success is not going to go down well on Land of all places.

We are pathetic Demon tragics, if it wasn't for the 30-35k members who sign up regardless - the club would find it impossible to function - there is no escaping that fact.

More members arriving with success will come as a surprise to no-one. That's just the nature of the beast. All it does is attract the bandwagoner label, and what you think is sending a message is just hurting a club that badly needs every single member it can muster.

Poor decision.

I can understand if you have a young family sometimes other things take priority and sacrifices have to be made. But if you can afford to and choose not to out of spite you're only hurting the club.

Bandwagon label, is this all that Port Adelaide have accomplished over the past 2-3 years? No, success on field equals success off field, so it is now up to the players to take this club where we all want it to be.

It is time we start winning rpfc, I assure you if we have a good season I will renew my family's memberships at seasons end, but as I said last year, If we win less than 6 games in 2014 as people like yourself implied might happen then I would not be signing myself and family up for memberships, we expect better than 4 wins out of 23 games especially with our list and coaching staff.

I want to see a huge effort, as I am 26 I sometimes think I could perform better for the red and blue, therefore, not signing up until the players show what we want.

Don't feed the troll. He's deliberately trying to wind you all up.

And if not, what a sad individual. Spending time on a footy forum pretending to support a club, but won't show his true support when the club needs us the most.

I don't know about anyone else but how satisfying is it gunna be when we start to win consistently knowing that u have "paid the price" (membership) so to speak for the last 8 long depressing years and more.

Being a paid member is like being married in that u go through the goods times, which there has been sfa lately and the bad times which there has been plenty of.

Like I say to me young kids "stick with it and the rewards will come".

The mighty demons will rise again.

Give it a break worm, JVF is expressing his view. Like it or not, it is not trolling.

Bet you do sign on

It is 4 months since we last played and another almost 3 till we do again. Yet here you are on a supporter site talking football and checking out the training notes

You are as sadly passionate as the rest of us.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
