  • 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.

OK, so now I know I'm not allowed to call the umpire a green maggot.  But I'm allowed to THINK that he is, right?

What happens if I say "I think you're a green maggot, umpire"?

No, no, no. You are not allowed to think! Thinking only gets you into trouble. Let the AFL do your thinking for you. As soon as they make up their own minds they will get back to you.

That's what priests are for.   To think on behalf of the flock,  and to give advice...  so people don't think on they're own,  and all start pulling in differing directions.  God forbid...

 

No serious talk to one-another,  or mayhem may breakout.  anger,   outrage,  even some fornication.  Keep unto yourself,  and confess at least once a week. 

Then only the priest him-self knows all the happenings,  or thoughts of...  in-silence. 

 

What a recipe for destruction,  non-learning,  and a mono-culture.....  just ask your alter-boy next door.

It seems our Multi-National directors all sing from that Hymn book...  and take a gold watch...  million$--dollar$  payout at retirement time, (hush money)

... they say,  $ilence i$ Golden.

 

They all seem to shake,  on that score.

 

I believe the AFL also have a similar in-house,  secret handshake

"We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it."  - George Orwell, 1984. 

That press release from the AFL sure sounded like a preach from the pulpit. Sounds like power has gone to their collective heads, telling us what we can and can't do at the football, like we are errant children.

All the leaders of the world are telling the people what they can and cannot do...  and that  'entitlements'  are finished.   But they forgot to tell they're own BIG Business sectors,  the same story lines.

All they want to do,  is cut cut cut,  and leave the masses with nothing to spend. 

Guess what happens when no-ones spending.?     No one is selling either.

Unless they happen to export...  Iron,  Copper,  Aluminium,  Gas...   Minerals and Primary produce.

 

Yes,  we have No,  bananas Joe.

Abuse of umpires is possibly fairy nuff in the aforementioned scenarios and to some supporters, there may be many more that are highly irritating; but at the end of the day, it is not supporters who bend the game.

I wonder what the people of Sardinia think of the AFL's rather cheesy position on maggots? Here's some food for thought (although be warned...if you have a delicate stomach, this might not be for you).

I watched some of Bob Hawke's State Memorial Service today and what astounded me was his granddaughter's speech about how a treaty was about to be signed for Antarctica to be exploited for its resources in 1989, but her grandfather refused to ratify the agreement and instead set about convincing the rest of the world Antarctica should be a natural reserve, devoted to peace, co-operation and science. How close we came to losing the continent to the mining industry and short term gains with no thought for the future. Hawke spoke of global warming and the consequences for our children and grandchildren 30 years ago. I wasn't even aware of this great legacy he left behind. 

When Hawke spoke he appealed to us as fellow human beings. Now we seem to have leaders and politicians who speak to us as though we are merely consumers who should be grateful for what we manage to attain for our families and not ask for anything else. 

I think this is why the AFL is on the nose at the moment with the fans. They are treating them like consumers who should just pay the money without question and do as they are told. They are forgetting the passion many fans have for their teams. For some their team is deeply ingrained in their life, just as going to church on Sunday is for others. Just as players are not robots, neither are fans. Stop the preaching.

I’m not sure if it’s been reported elsewhere but I heard on the radio this morning that Gil is now placing officials dressed as supporters within the crowd to report (what he deems to be) anti-social behaviour. Gil’s Undercover Gestapo, he’s another step closer to the Fourth Reich.

Everything back then was based more from a humanity angle...  politics had a stronger edge of human heart-felt  decisions...  instead of about getting one up on something,  Gain...  Rock Music was about issues,  about Mandela,  or raising money and awareness of the down trodden...  the Beatles did,  Pink Floyd did,  U2 did,  Bob Geldof,  even Elton did.

There was an honor in our leaders mostly.  One didn't have to look too far,  to find an honorable leader,  who stood for the right things,  for justice,  for fairness,  for the underprivileged,  and for endangered animals,  and Environments in decline.....

For the Longer term,  and not just the one day after this day.

 

People were moved by such higher moral callings,  because they were not so selfish,  as today's mentality.

 I think the difference is/was we all played in the dirt as children, the majority did, and we had a lower more earthy connection to the natural world and so to one another as we had less as youngsters.  So to be given something was,  more special...  than, imo, today's.

I think when things are gotten thru life,  too easily,  then they lose value in the persons perspective,  and it becomes less important,  to the players of the day.

 

Same in footy.   the players like watts... maybe Tracca... and the leaders don't work and struggle their way up the AFL chain,  to the top...  they are head hunted from within a select private schooled 'bunch'............ again gotten too easily.

 

The spoilt make poor leaders... and poor team players as well.                 

 

These are truly,  'the entitled'.

Yes,  I recall vaguely...   and we are back into the same situation now,  with  'China'  trying to make inroads into Antarctica now...  and IIRC,  they have squatted,  on some of our territory down there.???

 

Maybe we should send Greg Hunt,  and Abbott as an Envoy,  down there to smoke out those rascally Chinee,  and send them off with some buckshot on their tails.  That would learn 'Em.

First there was Hal Todd with his occasional rants and then Bob Santamaria with 'Point of View' .... followed by Eric Pearce with his Epilogue.

Now we've got deeluded as a kind of overview of the aforementioned.  The quartet with their unabashed rhetoric that periodically makes sense.

Well, you can't spell 'Biffin' and you can't spell 'maggot' so, while this might seem harsh, I am going to dismiss your conspiracy theorising until you can tidy up the basics.

Somewhat like Melbourne's forwards: won't deliver until they can correct the follow through.

As a father of 2 kids I’m more than happy for offensive, loud and rude fools to be tossed out. The AFL are doing this because the feed back they are getting is that people are sick of the behaviour of a minority of fools ruining their day at the footy.

    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,

    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
