  • 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.

Best re-signing!!!

Yep, best re-signing since Roos joined the club.

These 2 blokes are absolutely MASSIVE for this club, we were in a dark place.

Thanks PJ, I appreciate your work. You have saved this football club and I am grateful.

Still think PJ was/is more important. He was the one that persisted and got Roos. Just my thoughts...

I'd like to see PJ step it up from signing a year at a time but still very happy he has done so, he's definitely the man for the job.

My thoughts exactly. He's doing an amazing job, but like the coaching position we need to know where we stand long-term. It's great that he's agreed to stick around for another year, but the fans and probably hte players would love to know that he's either staying with us long-term or that there is another equally good person waiting in the wings to step in at the end of 2016.

I reckon he'll stay on until at least a year after Roos steps aside.

Roosy hands over to Goodwin at the end of 2016, i reckon PJ will stay on until at least the end of 2017 so as to avoid as much instability as possible, which would be greater if come 2017 we had both a new coach and CEO.

IMO Peter Jackson holds the keys to the MFC, he won't leave until somebody absolutely capable has become available.

No, I would agree, you are right. PJ was pivotal. He has been fantastic.

Very good signing, he has a lot of work to do. I like what we have done tonight with the breast cancer support.

If only we could perform on-field.

Best CEO in the game.

Those who tout Brian Cook have him there based on past glories, not current form.

I'd say he's the best CEO by some distance,

a measure of the change in quality of our administartation is how little we see/hear from them, they just pull strings in the background, i feel that's how a good footy club works.

    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.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to
