  • 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.


GRAND OLD FLAG 2015

It's a grand old flag

It's a high-flying flag

It's the emblem for me and for you

It's the emblem of the team we love

And credit to you who stood true

Every heart beats true

For the red and the blue

Credit to me and to you'se

And credit to a man we know

A bloke that is known as Paul Roos

Extra verses welcome.

Time to celebrate in song.

Regards to all,

Rollo

No takers ??

Guess we are a different group in 2015...

Its not much, but try this for size ...

Oh the team were keen back in twenty-fifteen
When they went to Kardinia Park,
From the very first bell in that place of hell
They played with great spirit and spark
Every heart played true for the red and the blue
And they sang the song brave and true
And we sang for all the rest of time
Keep your eye on the red and the blue!

Oh I celebrated today believe me and we sang it hard and long (As a Invited guest in the Geelong Corporate boxes) so you can just guess how that

went down.

( Actually the Cat supporters where in shock I think )

All we got from Geelong supporters on the way to the ground was not "if" they would beat us but rather by how much they would beat us.

They where all so Cocky !!

After living in this area for so long and putting up with the shite we have over the past 10 years about how good Geelong is, this is the best present and the best game I have seen Melbourne Play in Geelong if not the best game they have played all year .

'We have only just got home after celebrating ".


I can tell you now it is a Grand Old Flag and I couldn't be happier even if I won Tattslotto (well maybe just a bit happier)


GO 'DEES' and I'm sure we all sung the song at least once today :)

Hey, I can now die knowing that the tradition of song can continue, mate.

Great effort, if I may say so. :wub:

How bout this one........

We are Geelong

The crappest team of all,

We are Geelong,

We cannot find the ball,

We play the game,

As it cant be played,

At home or far away,

Our undies flying high,

From dawn to dusk,

Cause Melbourne gave it to us

Right up the ar..........

I re-did our song earlier on another thread (incorporating 'Melbourne')

Melbourne version:

It's a grand old city,

we can't play, what a pity,

it's the emblem that changes intermittently,

it's the emblem of, the team we tolerate,

the team of which others think differently.

Every heart beats occasionally,

depending on the occasion,

for we are Melbourne, the club, the persuasion.

Should old habits finally die hard,

keep your eye on 2016.

    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
