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.


THANKS FROM ALL OF US AT DEMONLAND


Demonland

Recommended Posts

It's that time of year again when we thank all those who have contributed to Demonland during the past season and all those who post here or simply visit and read without posting.

We value your contributions and ongoing support - especially to Nasher who keeps us going on the technical side, to our moderators whose task is often thankless. Surprisingly, even when our team improves as it has this year, their job is still no more easy.

Special thanks to our regular contributors, Whispering Jack, George on The Outer, The Oracle, JVM, KC from Casey and all others who have provided us with material and articles.

We hope the Bulldogs' great win yesterday will prove an inspiration top our young team and that 2017 will be the year that we finally break through that ceiling and experience a taste of finals football. As the Doggies proved, once you're there, anything can happen.

We also look forward to the inaugural women's competition and hope a finals appearance there will be a prelude for later in the year.

As always, we are on the look out for new contributors who have something to say about the mighty Demons. If you have the talent or simply want something to say about the club in articlae form, please contact me via PM.

Cheers, thanks again and keep your eye on the red and the blue.

Andy

Thanks for giving a bunch of Demon loving misfits a place to share our love (and sometimes endless frustration)! I think my connection to the MFC would be far weaker without Demonland.

Spot on Nasher mine would definately be weaker.

There have been times over the last decade that Land keep me going.

Always enjoy every contribution. Can't match the wit and knowledge and certainly not in a timely fashion.

Hope the players can take something from the doggies and add the passion exhibited by Dlanderrs to their performance.

I have been on the road since Round 2 and The Old Demonland has given me that little connection with home (When the WiFi works)

A season that showed glimpses of great then punched the sh!t out of us. 

2017 has to get serious. The Dogs showed us that.

Thanks to all who work to keep Demonland online. We are a weird bunch, but all the better for having this way to share our love of the Demons. Go Dees! Go Demonland!

Good Morning

 

Thank you for running such a great site. While this is my first post I spend many hours reading all the interesting posts. 

The next few years should be exciting for long suffering Demon supporters. This site has everything to keep Demon supporters up to date with the latest news. Glen  Bartlett,  Peter Jackson, Paul Roos, and Simon Goodwin are doing a great job of making us a good competitive football club again. I am already looking forward to season 2017 , and I will able to keep up to date due to this great site.

Again thank you for running such a great site.

So, what do you think about the site?

Being a Demonlander sometimes feels like marriage; brilliant, frustrating, maddening, enlightening, cryptic, critical, sharing, interrogating, harmony and disunity all in the one place. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Thanks Demonland community for all the trash and treasure that flows in you, and through you, to little old me.

Thanks to the Demonland functionaries - your work is muchly appreciated.

Ditto to all of the above.

Notwithstanding the most horrendous loss (read Essendrug & Carlscum), or the most elevating victory (read GWS and Hawthorn),  the endlessly entertaining, (and occasionally informative), posts on Demonland never fail to entertain, infuriate, exasperate and inspire all "true believers",  (at the risk of  channeling Paul Keating), and thereby elevate them above the overwhelming mundanity of the vast majority of AFL followers who have never experienced the inimitable feelings of despair/dedication that only those who bleed red & blue truly feel.

Thank you to all of those who moderate, contribute and proselytize on Demonland.

Confess to being a Demonland 'tragic', :wacko:  so thanks to all posters for getting me thru some bad seasons.

In addition to the moderators and the people already mentioned I would like to add 'AngryAtCasey' to the list to specifically thank.  Each week he goes to a lot of trouble to write up how each senior player has performed.  His descriptions are insightful and balanced, without hyperbole or favouritism.  Really appreciate your work 'Angry'.

ps @AngryAtCasey  ...where does the 'Angry' come from - you never sound angry to me?

Cheers LH.

Nowhere near as Angry as I was about 4 years ago under the previous regime.  Since then though I changed my user name to what it is now and am a little older with kids, so the anger is redirected and generally softened with the consumption of an amber liquid.

Live about a 200m walk from Casey Fields which allows me to get to a lot of games there, and should give credit to my beautiful wife who is happy to mind the young kids while I watch the games.  Having said that, as a St Kilda supporter she does have a lot to make up for.

But yes a special thanks to the mods, administrators and  KC at Casey for all their hard work and to all our unique posters who help make Demonland what it is.

I learn a lot from Demonland.( with appropriate filtering!).

I particularly appreciate some of the editorial-type posts, which I think are top class. But there are many thoughtful and knowledgeable posters, whose input I find valuable.

Thanks so much Nasher, WJ and Scoop. We're all hopeful, optimistic Demons!

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
