Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.

First time, long time. 

I'll keep this short as I can't stand reading long winded discussions. As a member since 2002, I can't help but believe the MFC is in fact going backwards compared to almost every other team (perhaps Carlton, Richmond and Essendon to the exception). While we have some potentially good players, and a couple of greats, every other teams list far exceeds ours. Look at doggies, Saints, Collingwood, port, Adelaide, kangas, wce, Brisbane, Geelong, hawthorn, Sydney, gws, Gold Coast - there list far exceeds ours. While I have absolutely no appreciation for roos(in my view he has been a cancer for this club) given the game plans, his erratic comments based around anything but teamwork and aggressive play- I simply can't see any future for this club in the next 10+ years. I wIll cop significant flack for this (yep let the abuse come, I can handle it) I can no longer support this club. I'm completely broken and have given this club till the completion of 2017 to make finals or I will leave this club forever, not supporting any team but enjoying the rivilary between the best teams in the comp. I suspect I am not alone...

So who would have been a better Coach to take over from Neeld & Schwab?

Will see you around once we start winning a few in the future, praising the mighty Dee's.

I understand frustration but that seems a little drastic. I support the club no matter how much they break my heart and downright [censored] me off..

The good times and the bad, I love this club.

Your a stronger man than I, I guess I envy those clubs who perhaps have not reached the ultimate success but are able to go to games knowing they have some chance.

We have improved. I am sure we will win eight to ten games this year. Hopefully 12 the following and possibly finals. As for Roos he has not been that great. His selection of Brayshaw and omission of Nunn or another tall last week was bizarre for such an experenced coach. I understand your frustration.

If for some reason we do go backwards and dont play finals within the next three, I think there will be some serious backlash with people just not renewing mships or going to games anymore.

One way or another something will give. If or path stays the same, we will become devoid of any new supporters with old ones dropping off or dying and probably go bankrupt and merge. Perhaps move interstate.

No we haven't. That is the point

An improved team would have smashed Essendrug in front of their filthy delusional supporters. 

An improved side has no issue with "being tired" or not "switched  on"

This club has absolutely no right to spruik such arrogant claims. 

We have not improved. I am not about to walk away but last weekend the alarm bells were ringing...

I was an *efc supporter at age 5  when i moved to my grandfathers farm in country victoria in 1983.  The local club was the demons and it was a brilliant community  club. Around the same  time  i also discovered that one if my dads cousins played for the dees in the late 60,s  and happily discared the *efc like the used diaper that it now is. 

 

I  think the core group of  younger players is the strongest we've had for some time.  

 

Ill never support  another club.  Sure its frustrating supporting the mfc at times but think you just need a break a go and watch some local football. 

And its always great to see some of traditional rivals getting pumped eg saints today ☺

2002! Wow, that's a long time. I can remember gearing up for my third season, round one 1966 on my little boy radio. We were in the match of the day, and supposed to be bouncing back (re-build?) from '65 collapse. Alas the saints bolted in the second half and we win a paltry three games for the season. Had big hopes for 1967.

Garland was on the ground that night in 2013 that the bombers smashed us by 146pts. He should be as hungry as F&*k to smach them every time we play them. He was insipid. Leadership group my ar*e.

Pies and tiges are ordianary maybe support them ? Dont change when we whip them . 

I see us tracking in the right direction and we have beaten teams in the same bracket and can do again if on song , id rather be where we are at than port or the dogs who are one trick ponies and wont win at the g deep into finals , we are trying to build a style that will . Gws are similar in their approach with a contested style being developed . Go dees .

I agree, there feels like there's something different about this current core group. There appears to be more buy in than what we've seen in the past, but we still have this cloud hanging over us. It's over the players, the coaches, and the fans. 

Fact is the only people who can change this is the players, by doing away with the mentally weak and attitude that is existent in many of some of the older players. The change needs to be driven from the future of the club.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
