  • 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.

All I'm suggesting is that there is clear reasoning for the major gripes.

If the membership issue is a major loss, I suggest you volunteer your time for the club in order to better position the club.

The easiest method of communication is via Twitter I don't see how anyone can see that, they probably didn't have very much staff in the office due to a public holiday.

Yes it's not ideal to change the time on the day of the event, but I think the outcry it has caused is laughable.

I still maintain that the large majority dont actually care and this majority stayed and were able to enjoy training

none of my family or children use twitter. i'm struggling to think of neighbours and friends who do

enjoy your laughing mm

I don't use Twitter either, but I can still read it as it appears on the Melbourne football club website and app.

so as i'm driving to melbourne you expect me to start up a browser session via smartphone to the mfc site then browse their twitter feed and understand all that shorthand hieroglyphics to check and see if someone has made a perfectly understandable, minor error that would only upset some cranky, negative, precious, demonland poster

gotcha

In one Daisy, my words to my lovely lady as we found out from Nev Jetta, (don't have a smart phone, can't stand em)...."this should be worth about five or six pages, if not a whole topic on Demonland"

When the training is on at 9.15 I usually get there about 9.10 and do laps on my scoot for a bit of exercise until the players stroll out between 9.20 and 9.40, so was used to it

Not sure if you are serious.

BB is a player sponsor at the minute and has been for at least 10 years. He is also very generous to the club. I understand he spent a year volunteering his time to the club only a few years ago.

Try aiming at one of the posters who donate nothing to the club except advice on Demonland. There are a few about, but you couldnt be more off target with BB.

saty i didn't go, i was thinking of going and bringing my 5yo gs but unfortunately he was otherwise tied up

i would have turned up at 11:30 so we could have had a little kick to kick on the ground

so, i would have had to wait around for 2 hours and there is no way a 5yo would have lasted

i then would have had to drive home with a bitterly disappointed toddler who had got a bad impression of the "demons" and try to explain it to my wife who thinks i'm a hopeless tragic anyway

i needn't add that his mother is not a mfc supporter

Chap was having a go at you, totally understand where you were coming from, that is why people who were miffed should have complained to the club which they did

Good to hear of his contributions and whilst it was directed at his response it was targeted at the issue as a whole, and a majority of the people complaining would not have offered up significant time or resources to the football club

Problems with anonymity in a forum I dont know the fella from a bar of soap.

He didn't pull up sore - he was given a couple of days to stay behind and see family in Perth.

AFL site saying different. Someone stood on his foot and was sent for scans. Supposedly the scans were ok, Thanks Fluck!

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    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
