  • 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 paid good money to get into a Dionne Warwick concert about 20 years ago.

I once remember the words " you could build a side around Mathew Bate" somehow escaping from my mouth. Totally Prendergasted that one.

Two blokes I owe apologies to: Lynden Dunn: other than his first handful of games where he looked like he'd be a good HFF, all I could see was a bloke that was prone to brain farts and who was more i

1. I think at a better side, with less off field stuff Mark Neeld may have been an okay coach, not saying he wouldn't have been sacked, but i think he's better than his record reflects.

Speaking of MN, see he has changed role over at Essendon from Development to "Game Performance Manager".

Whatever that might be ... he cuts up the oranges?

10cc (Festival Hall) & "Shakin' Stevens" (at the Palais) ... ugh.

I once thought Tapscott was captaincy material ... never initially wanted Northey or Daniher and thought the acquisition of Neeld was great.

I used to have it off with Lady Penelope in the back of her Roller, regularly!

I'll keep it to myself of course Earl ...but did Lady Penelope have any err... preferences for ... eerr access are positioning ... well any particular page of the KS?

BBO we were both young and silly and besotted with each other, she an aristocrat, me just a young outrageously handsome and gifted international agent with special eyes as she used to comment. Yes there was this magnetism that drew us to each other but she wanted a no strings attached affair, I knew that just would not work for us, especially in the back seat of the Roller. In the end things just got too tangled and I had to move on. I was drawn to blondes and needed to explore my sexuality and developed another relationship this time with Alan but that never worked and his father banished him to Thunderbird 5 in outer space as I remember.

Awesome.

Swap the Batman for ABC's Lexicon Of Love?

It's a close run thing.

I just looked up 'Look of Love' on YouTube to reacquaint myself with their work. It is fair competition for 'Batdance' so I'm afraid I will have to defer my decision.

I'm a chronic over-believer.

I think I've brought it down to a manageable level - I was only slightly and briefly disappointed at Toumpas going.

But maybe that's because I have too much faith in our recruitment/list management?

Probably my big 'sin' as far as being against general wisdom is that I still think each of Grimes, Garland and Watts have something significant left to contribute. Not 'heroic', I'm not going crazy here, but handy players. A lot of that is an instinctive reaction to the over the top hate-pumping coming from some.

What I can say is, I've never sprayed vicious bile at or about any Demon player.

Bate-fides! The pideal tall, strong, contested marking midfielder who can also chip in as a KPP! Hurrah!

I believe he was the origin for the 'Curse of the 191-192cm Demon' debate.

Possibly he is also the ghostly figure haunting the minds of those least interested in Charlie Curnow this draft.

Convinced myself that Toumpas could play.

Said nice things about Mitch Clark.

Argued that Sylvia would come good.

Said Stefan Martin would never be a footballers' bootlace.

Believed Schwabby's whiteboard Wednesdays.

Convinced myself that Liam Jurrah was a clean-cut tribal elder that would be AFL's greatest story.

    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,

    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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    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
