  • 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.


Where is that corner - I cannot find it.

When does this team finally work out that embarrassing performances are no longer acceptable. Losing to the bombers was very very unacceptable.

I listened to Peter Jackson at the AGM where he reinforced that football is their priority and winning games of football comes first. Losing to a VFL team is appalling and some senior players should hang their heads in shame.

I was hoping to see around the corner in 2015 and get a view of a positive future. Setbacks like losing to a VFL team just make me angry at many on our list.

Being embarrassed is part of a MFC supporters lot! However, I will still keep that blind faith.

I agree Soi. Faith can only be blind after the years of heartache we have been forced to endure, and there is only one possible cure for the affliction that affects us!

I just don't get the panic after that loss. There side still had some very good players, and they were well up for it, you could see what it meant to them after the siren.

I expected a win still, but was hardly an earth shattering loss.

Interesting that when we played a strong Freo side we played very good footy. We go into the next two matches playing weakened sides where we are expected to win & we are for the most part ordinary. We all know how much footy is played above the shoulders so I for one will wait until I see how they perform in the season proper before resorting to the mass hysteria which has permeated pages of demonland forums......I mean "really" the sheer arrogance of some supporters suggesting 70 points plus wins......amazing !! we have a new forward line.....new mids....new backs and at the most they have played two ....if lucky three games together.....what did we honestly expect. Anyone who can't see the improvement must have the " negative Nellie" blinkers on. It will happen but obviously not as quickly as we would like .....in saying that....it could also happen a lot quicker.

Should there be a MFCSS thread where all the whinging etc get kept to only one thread, and any posts that should be in there are moved from other threads to keep things constructive? It would save the first page of the board being filled up with 'why do we suck/who is to blame' etc of which there is always plenty.

I agree.

What also annoys me Clint is that when people are agitated and annoyed about what's happening they feel the need to start a thread about it, rather than either posting it in the post match thread or in any of the other similar threads that have already been started.

It is never where you think the Corner is butterfly, and I never could understand what the hell does unacceptable means and what can be done about it? What sack the whole team, sack the coach? Every one sees the corner differently, and some times you go back past the corner, and sometimes you go forward past a corner, and some times you never go past the corner. There is a time to win and there time to lose.

I'm just up the road from you NAA, can I get some of whatever it is you had with your coffee? I was reading about your corners and now I find I am shltting myself not knowing what the corners in my office are doing.

A time to sow, a time to reap, and a time to fall asleep at the wheel of your combine harvester after a 15 hour day and a bottle of Jack, and mince up your neighbour, his wife, their brood of kids and a kelpie called Max.

I think I read that in the bible somewhere.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    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,
