  • 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.

I agree

DC I did put the words in quotation marks to indicate they were not my words, but yes I did not attribute them in an addendum. Gee you are a stickler for the rules on plagiarism. Are you an ex University Lecturer? Anyway have you finished off the bottle of Blue Nun yet celebrating your new found wealth in Borewood

Name names or you are just as weak.

Lol, guilty conscience BBO?

I actually get what Middy is trying to say. But he does bring the heat on himself at times.

As a newcomer I find that a certain few cowards try to stand over you, it can be confronting but the weasels put likes beside each other's posts and are pretty much gutless, overcoming the first few weeks takes patience but you have to remember the people doing it wouldn't say it to your face!

Confronting? Seriously?

Not sure how it could be confronting.

The ones which shout the loudest are well known on here and for the most part are clearly the ones with the least footy knowledge.

One in particular is absolutely clueless about footy and most likely sport in general and I'm sure if he realized how obvious this is to the rest of us then he would dampen his tone a bit.

Confronting, no - mind numbingly boring , yes

You're mad, seriously. I have no intention of giving you an even break, you pathetic little man.

From the moment you started posting, anybody who disagreed with you was subject to abuse. Yes, you were the one abusing others and on a regular basis. I.e. loser, hero, [censored]. It was a heady mixture of paranoia, shite writing and trying to locate other posters to abuse.

You sent me private messages which were meant to be threatening but were the work of a simpleton and truly bizarre. This 'cowards standing over you' horseshite makes me want to vomit as does the 'wouldn't say it to your face' crap you go on with. And I have no doubt whatsoever that you would be as weak as pi55.

What's really odd is that now you mix rambling, vitriolic murmurings with regular comments. If you're on medication, I suggest it's either too much or not enough.

So leave your witless, ' poor me,I'm a victim' garble to your psych, whom I can only assume is on a healthy retainer.

Go Dees.

Middys post is on point

Well he does mention 'weasels put like besides each others posts' which pretty much describes the history of yours and his posts...so you're right.

In the entire time I've been coming here I've rarely if ever seen a poster more intent on being confrontational from the get go than yourself. Supporting the Dees might feel like a prison sentence, but this place isn't a prison. You don't need to stab someone in the first week to show that you mean business.

The majority of your contributions that I've seen are putting other posters down with little to no substance behind it. I don't know if it is your way of showing that you won't be pushed around, but all you've done is give a very negative portrayal of yourself.

And you have the gall to accuse others of "standing over you" as a newcomer? When you act the way you do, people who don't know you from a bar of soap are less likely to not respond in kind.

Demonland has its faults, but one thing that I've seen improve over time is the manner in which newcomers are accepted. If you aren't feeling welcome, it might be time to reflect on how you are acting.

They might put 'likes' beside each others posts, but that doesn't make their opinion any more valid than yours. “If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.” - John Stuart Mill

Absolutely agree KDD. The problem I have is that he spends his time bagging the views of others then cries wolf.

Interestting isn't it,? g smith and I had some interesting convos over the journey and of late Dazzle 36 and I have had some terse words , But I do take a postive in that both posters particularly Dazzle, when I gave myself a 1 month ban were quite happy to engage and dare I say it welcome me back.

I do rate gsmith, Dazzle 36,Chook in perth, Bitters Lime and sour, Earl hood,King dings opinions , and welcome all to a "Soap Box" forum

I suppose what we should be trying to do is express opinion without malice and free from personal attacks, The internet is great but maybe far to easy to make personal cpmments before withdrawing into annonimity ( have I spelt that right)?

I also think that many many on this sight want , need, yearn for our team to experience the "Ultimate success" of a premiership that we become blindsided, frustrated and ultimately angry and lose our perspective!

We will get there and we are working pretty well towards that task!

Go Dees!

    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

    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,
