  • 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 will be easily recognisable, I will be in a rather nice lavender lycra bodysuit, complaining about the lack of toilet facilities, bad temperedly kicking the non-existent advertising signage around the fence, and whingeing non stop about Jack Watts and how he just doesn't seem to be trying at traiining

Don't forget the gun picks..

Actually chap, for the grand old age of 62, I'm not in that bad a shape, if I say so myself, if it will assist you in something going forward, I could PM you one if you like

Saty this is taking a strange turn!!!

Looking forward to all the reports.

I wouldn't bother if I were you... the thread has already taken a turn for the worse, and it hasn't even officially started yet :-)

uh huh.

I only read the training reports for the weirdness these days.

I mean who cares about the training? What matters is potting Saty for being OCD and /or unhealthy obsessed.

[censored] 'em Saty. My grandmother spent a good 60 of her 90 years doing whatever it took to help 'her boys' of the MFC. If there was something to be done she was there to do it, and she did it with a smile and not expecting a thank you. All that mattered to her was that her beloved boys were supported so they could smash the other eleven pretenders to the throne.

At her funeral there was an all star cast of the 50's and 60's teams, and she was carried away with 'Grand Old Flag' playing.

The club needs people like you, Saty. Don't let the naysayers get you down.

Saty, I'm curious as to what the players call you at training? Is it Saty? TDI? Pete?

On a serious note...

I think we should start to more formally recognise Saty's efforts. As a poster earlier said, every footy club needs people like Saty involved, and while I know some of us take the pi$$, we do appreciate any news that he filters back.

It got me thinking how we could actually do something like this. When I started looking through some of Saty's training photos he posted on his Twitter account, as soon as I found a photo of the great man himself, I immediately thought of the word famous Vic Flowers (see below). Now, some of you may not know him by his correct name, however he is the leader of the Barmy Army (often referred to the name Jimmy, given his similar appearance to that of Jimmy Savile. If you've had a look at Saty's photos, we could have our very own Vic Flowers (that's not to say that you remind me of Jimmy Saville, Saty).

Given the amount of muscle we at Demonland can flex, could we somehow arrange it so that Saty become the official and spiritual leader of our Demon Army? Get him dressed up is some classic retro MFC gear, get a flag that's to the total maximum allowable size, and have him attend as many games as possible to pump the crowd up?

As we are hopefully starting to improve, and should win more games in the years to come, the Demon Army will continue to grow, and having an icon, similar to what Vic is to the Barmy Army, I think it would be great.

Hopefully this doesn't get too close to the stuff that CS used to implement (with much negativity from many on here).

Nb. Yes, I do have too much time on my hands.

Given that The Devil Inside already has a multitude of aliases such as Satyricon, Satyriconhome and Pete...and given he's admitted to being a pom and 62 years old...are you certain that he isn't also Vic Flowers?

Billy, actually Lynden Dunn calls me the old [censored], but as most of the others don't read Demonland, most call be Peter, if they actually know it, to Howie for instance everybody is "mate"

Actually this is rather sad, I actually asked one of the senior players why they don't read Demonland, I won't name him, they were advised not to as it was just full of negativity

I wonder why?

Might have something to do with the results over an eight year period.

Spot on. After a win this place turns senior players are all time greats and youngsters are future hall of famers. If players want to read something positive then we don't ask for much, just a few wins would do it!

I wouldn't advise them to read this site even when we are winning.

It's like social media, the players don't real time updates of what the fans think of them. There is no value for the players to get involved in a forum designed to dissect the club they play at and the players themselves.

They get the drift from those leaning over the fence in games anyway...

That is why I asked one of the senior players who is on Twitter, where they get [censored] as well, his answer was what I typed, I find it nteresting the few posters demanding wins and the negativity will stop, how simplistic, let me know where you all work and next time you [censored] up I can write something negative on social media

Saty.. it is a public forum. There WILL always be negativity in any sports forum you read whether they are winning or losing. There is always that one person who's never satisfied.

And if its not the negativity they cop on the twitter its the stalking and hassling they get from guys like you.

    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,

    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

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the
