  • 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.

For all who are interested, there will be a Club Sponsored BBQ at Gosch's Paddock on the 18th December to celebrate the last training for 2015.

Training is expected to start at 9.30am and finish at 12 or 12.30.

This is a great opportunity to bring the kids to watch training, have a coffee and relax. Hopefully the kids will wear their guernseys and make it a fun day.

Any queries either post here or contact the Club on 1300 336 667

Obviously a hot morning at training; I went down and had a bit of a look around.  Without going into detail a few things of interest to me were... Jack Trengove looks in great shape and was

Headed to training with my 5 y/o daughter who loved meeting Jack Watt's and getting a photo with Jonesy.  Both of those are her favourites, and Jack in particular knows how to win the kids over.

excellent the club is hearing the fans.   they're listening.   & they're acting.

 

I can't make it as I'm a 2Hr-45min drive away from training,  Or 40min drive from the station, before a 1.75Hr train ride.

 

but am I really glad to here the changes ringing in,  for my beloved dees.

Sounds a better alternative than heading down to the gym (a footy hit to get me through the Xmas break)!

As a member who moved interstate 7 years ago, this sort of stuff really tugs at the "return home" strings!

My 7 year old lad is even more passionate than myself when it comes to our beloved Dees and if it wasn't for us both also being local Norwood members, I don't know how much longer I could resist the urge...

Great work by the club and hopefully plenty of folk get down and cheer the lads on...

Note - At least we get to go to a pre-season game at Elizabeth Oval :) 

I have asked Santa for a bullet proof vest and first aid kit for Christmas! :unsure:

What are the chances of them changing it to a Saturday if I ask nicely? 

Based on some of last season's results, there's probably more chance of the team turning up on a Friday than on a Saturday. :o

The Club has confirmed that the training session on the 18th will now commence at 9.45am and end at 11.30am.

Sausages will be sizzling and coffee brewing before training starts.

Hopefully everyone is aware of the parking limitations around Gosch's Paddock.

 

Awesome. Definitely take the kids along to this, they can't wait for the season to start!

Pretty sure the train station would be the best bet for parking for me if I could get there. 

This is such a big event that I intend to forgo public transport and walk from home.

This is a great initiative by the club which is really looking after its supporters.

I wish I could be there but alas, I'll be flying to Puerto Rico for a Caribbean tour.

I'll also be going to Trinidad and Tobago looking for some West Indian cricketers (there certainly aren't any here) and then on to French Guiana and Devil's Island (the second spiritual home of the Demons after the G).

Wishing you all the compliments of the season and looking forward to reports and photos of the final training session of the year.

And it's onwards and upwards in 2016.

Not sure they'll even need to bother with BBQs. For those who are going, I admire your commitment (and please drink plenty of water, wear a hat and remember that Satyr might look like Santa...but he's much, much more than that.)

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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

    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.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy.

    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
