  • 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.

Went to U2 last night and three rows behind me were Neitz, Nicho, Brock, Biz, Rivers and Robbo. They all seemed to be enjoying themselves. Probably the most enjoyable time they've had at Telstra Dome this year!

All seemed to be enjoying the show - clapping, saw Neita singing etc. None were drinking which was good to see I guess.

Interesting that Brock and Rivers seem to spend more time hanging out with the older blokes like Neitz and Robbo rather than with the "younger" crowd. Wonder why that is.

It's because they are too good to be hanging out with average footballers ;)

Seriously though, I don't think you're right. I've seen Brock hanging around some of the younger crowd that live in my area.

You'd know better than I would.

I saw Matthew Richardson at Borders, buying The Game: Penetrating the Secret Society of Pickup Artists by Neil Strauss.

I guess it was a birthday gift for someone. ^_^

I just saw Paul Gardner at my work

I saw Carroll out after the Adelaide loss last year (the one we were meant to win over there when they had half their side out). In retrospect maybe I shouldn't have approached him and just let him cool off, but it wasn't like I was rude or anything, just said bad luck on the loss, was a real shame blah blah blha. Well, he did not want a bar of me, nor did the bevie of chicks that were hanging off him. Ah well.

Thought I should let you all know about my meeting with the captain.

I was attending a regular pub trivia competition. One of my mates, knowing that I was a big dees fan, told me to look behind me and take a look, hinting that it was someone pretty special. Naturally, I was pretty excited to see that it was big Neita. My word he's a massive bloke!

I kept a lid on it, and although I really wanted to go up and have a chat to him, I thought it would be the decent thing to let him just have dinner and enjoy the company of those with him. Also, I would've naturally copped it from my mates, so it was decided that I would just be content being in his presence.

However, to my amazement, an older guy I know through school turned up, and went over to Neita's table and started talking to him! This was good news, as it gave me a segway to go up and talk to my friend, and then get him to introduce me to Neita. So, with some courage built up, I went over and said hi to my mate, and chatted for a few minutes. Unfortunately, the introduction never came, so I trundled back to my friends, defeated.

Thankfully, one of my friends went up to the guy I knew, introduced himself, and suggested that perhaps I would like to be introduced to David, as I was a big fan and had been wanting to all night. So awkwardly, I was called over, and I was pretty nervous/embarassed. There was no need to be, as Neita was fantastic. I asked him how his knee was going, how they were dealing with all the injuries, and just a few questions about the boys. He told me he was up and running again, and that many of the boys were on the mend and hoping to atone for the poor start to the year. He even asked me about how often we came to trivia, how long I had supported the Dees for, and whether I'd been to many games this year. He was awesome. What a great guy! This really made my night.

Another one of my mates ran into Jared Rivers more recently and said he was a top bloke too.

    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

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
