  • 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.


What is your favourite TV/Radio commentary team?

Luke Darcy is the worst. The absolute worst.

and for some reason he is on that morning radio show with Eddie? On what planet do listeners want to listen to an unfunny bogan with an annoying voice? (Darcy I mean, not Ed)

FMD I'd rather attack my nut bag with a garlic crusher and battery acid than listen to Eddie call a game. He is horrific!

I thought Ian Robinson was a great commentator and going right back.........Jack Edwards    They just called the play as it happened....Called the right players.........None of the 'Special Comments' men  explaining what happened 4 plays ago and what they should have done (dermi is the worst at that.)

Actually, to be fair, I should include a square-up. Brian Taylor has an acting role in the move 'Last Cab to Darwin'. It's a minor role where he plays a coach of a footy team in Darwin. What he's required to do he does pretty well. And it's a good movie, too.

Very good movie. Deserved more recognition at the AACTA Awards. Nice little cameo from BT, as limited as it is.

774 has been my favorite, despite occasional interludes from the lady with the awful unlistenable grating voice.  As Jack Dyer could have said:"she could do with some electrocution lessons"  

A favorite Jack Dyer moment was I recall a ¾ time summation: "Stynes dun a pretty good job so far, but  O'Derwiyer hasn't done nuffin much". The co-commentator came back with "Jack, Steve O'Dwyer is out injured today" JD:"Well, that might explain it then"

And a Tommy Lahiff / Harry Bietzel favorite for me was that M v H PF at VFL Park.  Pre match H pointed out "VFL Park is 20 percent bigger than the MCG, so the Demons could run out of legs".   T retorted "Is that in meters, Awwy?"

And from public life in general. 

Unfortunately these days what with digital HD TV and its slight delay, and digital radio or internet radio with bigger delays, it can be difficult to turn the TV volume off and listen to the radio commentary.

    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,
