  • 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.

Really?  You guys take issue with that? 

I get the angst now, given what has transpired since, but FMD....

Yeah i do. Finals were never confirmed all year. Particularly during the St Kilda clash. 

Theyve not only been drinking their own bath water, but they've been bathing in it for months.

Articles like this throw that trust down the toilet. 

These players have no respect...Yet

Yeah they've been humbled with what's transpired but it's the arrogance that has played it's part in the result.

Cause and effect.

What a petty thing to bring up in a radio interview. Wouldn't be surprised but sounds like something someone made up to make our demise even sweeter.

We were flying mid-season and there was finally a bit of swagger and bravado about the Dees. I really don't think the football world enjoyed seeing us succeed.  Part of me wonders if the players were chastened and embarrassed by the attacks and criticism of media and past players and if this contributed to our shaky form at the end of the season. Who knows.

Jackson spoke on the radio as if the club had already made the finals. Terrible content and timing. One of his few failings as a MFC administrator.

Nothing wrong with what was said. It would have been done to try and get a psychological edge on the opponent. I'm sure St Kilda were talking it up also at different stages. Happens very game for every side. Makes for interesting reading but that's it

Yes i know he did. I heard him say it on SEN and 774

The Players have let PJ down

Jones should step down as Captain if the above quote is true. 

He has not taught the players well

He did but he still went way too far with other comments. You never talk anything up as an administrator until its a done deal. At least Goodwin always had the sense to never say we have achieved anything until round 23 was completed. Others in the club seem to have got ahead of themselves going by some of the comms that came out

You maybe right. Now is the time to open all the dark closets. Because the attitude over the last month was visibly bad

on Saturday it stunk and must be removed, if that means officials, coaches or players must be moved on, so be it  

we must have the attitude of Essendon in 2000 after they choked '99  PJ was there during that time  

But is the MFC Strong enough??

Look I think they will learn their lesson but PJ with his experience should have been all over it but instead he contributed to it. As I said, one of his few failings but very surprised it happened at all. We will need to be stronger than any previous admin, coaching and player group to achieve the ultimate given the ingrained mediocrity and repeat behaviours of our club over the years gone by

    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.

    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

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
