  • 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.

As was suspected by many, Brayshaw and Tyson were not deemed to be in the best 22 based on their preseasons.

Pathetic decision by the selection committee to leave Tyson out for Maynard who did not show he was an AFL capable player throughout the preseason.

Interview really didn't give much as they were asking him questions that he would not be able to answer honestly as the captain.

Just because your opinion differs from an answer he gave to a question - As a supporter base, we cant expect respect until we can display respect as a supporter base. 

However, I'm sure you are prepared to come out from your anonymous "keyboard warrior" status and direct the allegation direct to his face - but then again I won't hold my breath.

No he stated it as a fact - my point was more to his tone - but each to his own. Again, as a community, if we want respect you need to show respect. 

Had he stated it as an opinion which I clearly pointed out in my answer I recognised it as an opinion - think we need to watch how we refer to our players. But each to their own - I also just stated my opinion.

Does it upset you that I have respect for our players both on & offline?  I have this funny feeling the players are hoping people can follow my lead ( but you may not be aware of that) - but it does not surprise me your inability to follow our players. 

IMHO Demonland has a fantastic ability to support and show respect for the players in the podcasts. 

You obviously support people calling our captain a Liar - interesting. But again - each to their own.

He lied through his teeth about the camp as well, notably the player involved in the coalition against it.

Anyway, what do you expect? He's the captain, they're media trained, they're not going to say anything controversial on TV if it means getting a teammate in the [censored].

Again, I have no problems with you having an opinion on our captains character. 

Personally, I can see the difficult situation he has been placed in infront of the cameras - but I'm not going to slur his or the clubs character without getting all the facts. 

Just not sure anybody here has all the facts - but again fine to state your opinions.

Players want respect they can bloody well earn it by performing consistently. I have also stated on here multiple times that we will play finals this year, but i guess that isnt "respectful" enough for you. 

You upset me because you single handedly destroyed Demonology, and refuse to accept responsibility. YOU are to blame.

Inability to follow our players? You mean acting like a smitten Faboi like yourself? 

You will never get respect while you unquestioningly throw yourself at the players feet. You should be ashamed of yourself. No self respecting human being would follow a yes man like you, nor should they.

You are entitled to your opinion. Might want to check your facts - but such is life. 

You think our captain is a liar - sorry, I think thats a tough call on our captain.

I'm not prepared to take the word of a "keyboard warrior" - if you are fine with that I have no problems with that.

Pointing out when someone is lying is not "stating an opinion." It's called "calling out [censored]." I understand why it's done, but I'm going to call it out for the BS it is.

In which way?

I got the impression that he didn't think he needed to go.

Is that what you thought?

His comments:

Has freedom to play

He's a mate! BS

Glad for him

The content would have been discussed before the show - the media guy for Jonesy could have framed a better response for him

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    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,
