  • 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 also  see Daniel Harford has moved to 3AW. I used to enjoy Daniel in the afternoons.

I'm pretty sure he is going to RSN 927.

Brisbane v Carlscum 2009

If ever i find a Tardis that is one event i want to see..

I remember watching the game in The Philippines and i thought of Andy Maher, Later i was told what he had done

 

Priceless

The game was shown recently on the Fox ? Footy Channel.

Travis Johnstone looking like a hobo late in his career still had an immaculate kick on him.

Yes Travis had a fixation with Tom Hanks from Castaway after we Booted him for Jack Grimes. 

(That worked out well)

These announcements would suggest you're both right. Here's the RSN announcement and here's the one from 3AW (it's toward the bottom).

bring back butch gale, mike williamson, indeed anyone pre-1980. lets have footy radio and TV where knowledgeable commentators talk about the game. cant we get rid of special comments and the boys clubs at each station behaving in their loud, boorish and matey manner. i speak particularly of the commercial radio where the standard is so poor.  just getting nostalgic folks and thinking how awful it will be listening to these clowns next season.

Garry and his new 'in cognito' look! 

Somehow, Sam McClure permanently looks smug!  Must come naturally!

And what is the picture of Murphy doing there?  It just doesn't look right that Sheahan, a Melbourne supporter is cradling it.

The last time I saw Garry

Just before he disappeared

He was filling out a little

He'd even grown himself a beard.

lol. Sometimes it's hard to remember the start of his question, if in fact the jumbled convoluted leviathin of words constituted a sentence .

He lives around the corner from me. He's an OK bloke (friendly) for what that's worth. He has 3 very young kids despite being no spring chicken. So he'll need to work for a long time.

sorry to make you angry angry, just getting a bit nostalgic, and fed up with the nature of the footy media these days.

Not really ready to move on from what Gary did given he hasn't spoken to Bill and presumably has not apologised privately or publicly but is now well enough to do the promos for the new show. Wonder whether the relationship has continued is part of the reason

Other than Huddo (who is a little mundane) the rest of the crew I'm happy with. Sam McClure is going to go places and seems to have access to regular inside info

Why does Garry have to apologize?

The previous relationship was over

Call me cynical, but the coincidence was that Garry announced his depression right on-cue (when Bill found his slippers under the bed).  And before those sanctimonious start coming to the defense of the depressed, just make sure you stood up for the hammering Mitch Clark got on here.

Garry once had the aura and reputation of a great leader and sharp footy brain.  I think the "great leader" remains somewhat, but his credibility as a sharp footy brain with authority and integrity has surely eroded.  This guy was instrumental in the worst coaching appointment in living memory  Full stop.  Hindsight is an excuse.  Smart people knew Neeldy's appoint was a joke at the time.  On Footy Classified, Garry has often commented on the integrity of footballers, and "taking ownership for your actions" or words to that effect.  His base is eroded.  He can comment, but with eroding authority.

But hey.  As long as he picks Melbourne in the tips, that's all that most of us care about.

If I watch FC, it will be for Lloyd (on-field) and Caro (off-field).   Maybe I might watch the 'closing cook' as long as he finally looks at himself.

Very succinct. Agree entirely. Nothing he says has any substance any more.

I stopped listening to his footy judgement after the Neeld appointment.

Also agree his base has eroded on the integrity front.

Will be interesting to see if any call back listens take him to task.

When you hurt and devastate your friends you should apologise. He met his wife through their friendship no some random meeting

How do we know they haven't spoken and made their peace? and to be honest, it has stuff all to do with any of us. This is between Garry, Billy and his ex-wife and the families involved. I still have no idea why a single party has been painted to be the bad guy in all of this, there are clearly more than one party involved in this whole saga, and no indication of a lack of consent, so blame should be proportionate also.

Garry and Billy's relationship is likely damaged beyond repair and won't ever be the same, caused a lot of pain for all of the people involved, and has been magnified to the extreme by the media who can't get enough of this! 

Let it be! Glad he is back calling the football in 2017.

    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

    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.

    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
