  • 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.

can we work out something.. some sort of open letter that we can get to go viral on facebook or something.. asking for the removal of this steaming turd of a human

As I said earlier, it isn't just MFC supporters who can't listen to him, I genuinely think something like this could get legs.

Would be a smart business move for Fox to punt him.

Russell hates Melbourne. It's a class thing.

Hate Drayne Pussell, he's without doubt the biggest tossbag in the media, absolute douchbag!!!!

This is the 'commentator' who on Sports Today several weeks ago took calls on the subject of eradicating the bounce from the game completely (in favour of throwing the ball up) in order to encourage more female umpires to the game. His logic being that the art of the centre bounce is beyond the strength and coordination of any potential female umpires.

[censored].

This is the first thread on here to achieve universal agreement for a long time. He is truly awful and he does have a thing about us.

But that doesn't explain how he is pig ignorant as well about Hogan's status...surely he can do SOME research.

The only challenger to Derwane is Basil Z. Utterly incompetent the pair of them. Dermis by comparison is a genius.

Flog.

In a touch of irony that would be lost on Derwayne, it's exactly that kind of moronic comment, indicative of attitude, that would be keeping female umpires out of the game.

My personal favorite was when he said that Port Adelaide would defeat Geelong in the 2007 grand final due to their club culture. How did that work out I wonder?

Clearly, and by a country mile, the most;

Punchable

Kickable

Kneeable

Elbowable

Hip n shoulderable merchant banker and oxygen thief I know.

He was coach of the Colac Tigers many years ago and royally fugged the club over.

Makes you wonder how Pelicans like him have made it to where they are.

Then again, Crocmedia is more proof of how poor the industry is.

used to listen to Sports Today most nights, until the horrible murder of Hookesy, then they go and replace him with someone who was the antithesis of Hookes. I sent an email complaining, they sent an email back saying give him a go, he will be good. I haven't listened since!! HATE THE PUSSELL!!

I actually didn't know he could write....have never seen an article but wouldn't read it anyway.

But surely he isn't as bad a writer as Robbo? Surely not!

PS Imagine the agony were he and Robbo to commentate a game together :-(((..

I used to drive home from work listening to Hooksey and Gerard - loved the show. It has gone into a gradual decline since DW came in. He is sexist pig as well as everything listed above.

Phew!! For a moment there, I thought you were him...!

Was looking forward to reading his response to all the love notes on this thread! LOL

It's funny when commentators use words they've heard someone else say, and they think it makes them sound clever, but they don't really know what it means. He claims Melbourne aren't 'relevant' and compares us unfavourably with the doggies. I suppose that's why we've got more members than the doggies and get bigger crowds. It's probably time to get your ghost-writer to jump on google thesauraus Dwayne.

Local church should be able to help out in that department.

What's in it for the media? You're/we're going to watch whether they have Dwayne or not. They could have the footy equivalent of John Arlott and you'd watch it. But they're not going to sell more advertising even with John Arlott.

In other words ... think of the money they save.

It's up to individual commentators to apply themselves and improve, whether out of professional pride or simply trying to climb the greasy pole. But they seem to lapse into complacency and mediocrity. And there is no consequence for doing so.

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    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
