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.


Ideas to better the club

Pies had over 73000 members last year. As much as we all hate them, we are all rather jealous of their massive supporter base.

15000 3 game memberships, 4209 pet memberships.......

The money helps the club regardless but hardly an accurate figure.

The atmosphere at the darts is incredible. If we can replicate that, then we are onto a winner. Not sure an announcer yelling "six" has the same ring to it than "one hundred and eigghhhttyy" But the dressing up of the fans could be done. I know we say in jest that more alcohol is probably not a good idea. But could you imagine if we had a big section of the crowd that dressed up, drank beer, sang and acted like yobo's. I think it's a winner.

ahh, the good Ol' seventies, (70's).... fun fun fun... www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqphxn5_zkY

TGO I tried last season, the Suns game at the G likely to be pretty boring so myself and some mates thought we would introduce the Darts game day experience. I had dressed in a long sleeved tropical shirt, floral shorts with black skins underneath to combat the cold. All this was touched off with the Demon scarf and hat, pure class, I thought. However on trying to enter the G I had my white plastic chair and plastic table confiscated by security. What do you do? I was livid but then trying to have drinking games with low strength beer in small plastic cups....why bother! Stuffed the whole day up for me and the boys. Oh and we lost the game as usual!

I love wacky ideas to make us better. So as long as you're not Steven Dank (or Cam Schwab) feel free to join in and get some going.

1. Artificial crowd noise at training

For skills drills and particularly goal kicking we should turn up the noise with some artificial crowd noise to replicate game day

2. Music at training:

On a similar line to point 1. But for running drills we should have some tunes going. Our players are pro's now, they'll train hard regardless. So lets let them have a bit of fun out there

3. Tinder swipe right night

Atlanta Hawks got it started. Dees can keep it going. Will just need to sort the filter to only include those in the MCC and of course improve the MCG's phone coverage or even better get it decked out with decent WiFi.

4. Fitz-sub-trick

Take a chance that you'll get through the best part of 3/4's without an injury and make Fitzy the sub. Then sub a ruck and have a fresh player around the ground in the ruck for parts of quarters, as well as a super quick half forward coming in when the game has opened up. Could also try it with Pedersen but would need a different name. Pedo trick sounds nasty

5. Uncontested centre bounces

Practise this. Save it. Fake a dodgy interchange and feign panic in the ruck. Then have Vince, Jones etc in the ruck. Use it wisely:

bring back the bif,,, Ray Biffen & freinds,

For various reasons other than the obvious under performing we have a [censored] image within the competition. One of my biggest banes has been the the wimpy demon mascot. No matter how many times it has been changed it is still portrayed as ineffectual and benign as we perform. The logic is that it may offend people being associated with an overly dark aggressive Satan. As far as I am concerned I don't care if we offend wowsers and owl eyed evangelical types. I like to see a bad arsed and rebellious image, and hopefully it will reflect on the way we will play. I think we will gain more than we lose if as in wrestling speak we turn "heel".

Carnivorous fuchsia, a la "Little Shop of Horrors"??

It's all about winning regular premierships, all the big clubs won premierships regularly over the last 35 years, hawthorn, Essendon, Carlton, Collingwood even though Collingwood have not won as regularly but they have played many GF, lower supported club's, st kilder, bulldogs, only one premierships so it is a slow process, win 4 or 5 premierships over the next 15 20 years, then we will be a big club, hawthorn have lots of members from the kids who all started following hawthorn from the 80's, it took 15 20 years after that before they become members in large numbers, the 2008 premiership awoke lots of those supporter to become members.

The darts only had mid strength beer in plastic cups. In fact, charging $30 for 4 was probably the reason the riots started.

Good point Great One I can well understand their reason. Really pisses me off when I go to Etiard an there is no explaination from management that only mid strength is available

I think the club should 'invest' $10,000 in theme flags for the Geelong game. They can be handed out at the gate.

On one side is the demon logo and on the other a huge bum with a picture of Mitch Clark where the hole should be.

Where's DA when you need him for the visual?

Of course I've moved on.

Don't know about the pets, but the Collingwood Football Club gets a higher average IQ out of the deal.

My friend always says most Collingwood supporters are dogs. Maybe he is right.

On the back of Glen Bartlett's suggestion that we should be aiming to become the 'Yankees' of Aussie Rules, I think the club should be offering half price tickets for our Home games to International Tourists. Team up the promotion with China Southern airlines and a few of our other partners to help market the offer, maybe The Duke Hotel etc where exposure to tourists is pretty high and I think we'd be getting a few more people to the ground each week and also creating a real name for ourselves.

Package up meal/couple of pots/tickets and hat or scarf so they feel the part.

    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
