  • 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.

Heaven or Hell?

Hi. I'm from the UK, just moved to south east melbourne to be with mrs. I've been here over a year now, taking in a handful of games. I have family here as well, all Saints fans. Naturally, I kind of got drawn/pushed to be a Saints fan over the course of last season, and for xmas, without asking was bought a saints membership, guernsey etc. Now the thing is, I kind of really like Melbourne. I like the colours, a few players, the long-suffering nature (also true with Saints!). I went to saints/demons game last season, and kind of went for saints, but i was with all the afore-mentioned people. I don't know what to do! It's hard to 'choose' a team when you are new to a sport, and i would feel bad if i upset those who got me all the saints gear! But I just can't help but like the Demons!

How do I make the decision?!

Seeing as you posted here, I think you already know your choice.

Welcome to the MFC!

Buy a bottle of red, drink it slowly, savour the elements that provide pleasure, repeat,repeat, repeat.

Wake up with a hangover and realise you will still drink wine , support dees.

Wake up next decide never to drink again, support saints

 

Good luck!

You've answered your own question: You love the Dees.

Welcome to the fold, PommyRules - it's the perfect time to jump onboard!

St Kilda had their chance for a Flag in 2009 & 2010. Dees haven't even been in the finals since 2006. We were the first club, suffering the longest flag drought. If there's a movie featuring an AFL underdog, it should be about us. 

St Kilda is my second team so I understand the appeal. But my heart beats true.

mate. as a new south welshman, i moved to melbourne in 09 and had to choose a team.. like you i liked the jumper, history and underdog status of the oldest club, but far out! don't expect too much joy. the few moments of joy that i've had though have been glorious! i cannot imagine how it'd feel to win the GF. stick with the dees mate. it'll be a shakespearean ride

I say you should barrack for the Demons.

I also say if you wish to stay a Melbourne man, stay away from Demonland. While we have a rep of being the club of choice for silvertails, public school students, members of the Savage/Melbourne club and blokes who bring cheese platters to the footy, the collection of weirdos and social misfits who post here will have  you running out of the room with your hair on fire.

    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. 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.

    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
