Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.


3rd Worst Team of the Decade

Sometimes waiting to strike Lasiter's, is just waiting too long.

Sometimes going into hock to get it done, is the way to get there sooner.

Like so many off the other clubs have done.  If we get into trouble, let the other clubs and league bail us out.  

 

Nike says.    Just Do It !

Yes. Win Games. Just do it. The rest is just Bullshite wallpaper.

If we are to go into Hock I would rather pump big $$$’s into the Football Department than build a Social Club. 
there is good and bad debt. 

Winning breeds interest and finance.

The social club-home base will change this club, making it more accessible to all.  And then the Clubs culture will change.   Then the team culture will follow. 

This is when we will become a power club, once more.

 

It would be the best money we could ever spend.

Nobody will go there if we are not winning.

Have people been attending our training sessions over the past 50Yrs ?  Just to stand in the park.

Of course they will go, and they will spend as well.  And not just during outside training sessions.

After work meet ups.  Before & after games.  Before & after training sessions.  Preseason practice matches.   AFLW games and training sessions.   Birthdays. etc.

Dee time is right.   Get a move on D's.

 

Just Do It !

I want to see Wins on the weekend. You want to spend money on Bells and Whistles

Get your priorities in order MFM

If you are building a Race Car, the first part you work on is the MOTOR. 

That is the the Core. 
 

The Core Business of The MFC is to win games of Football. Get that right and then expand into the areas you dream of. 
If we do not start winning regularly then a brand new facility will become a soulless ghetto very quickly

Its the Club culture that drives wins and winning mentality.   Not the team culture.  The team culture is more a mirror of the coach of the day and the team leaders.  The outside club culture is the constant leader of the team theme, and underpins the whole shebang.

When the tiger supporters lift, that culture lifts that whole club.  And then they are away.  The same with the Bluse, and the Bummers. 

Its the supporters that fire those clubs, providing the heat under the clubs to perform.

Those clubs are Not conservatively run and all have had their days in financial strife.  They're aggressive attiude and balls sees tham win big and fail big, but they do win their shares.

 

Conservatives run the middle ground for flat results.   And when things heat up,  the conservative sits back down.

This.  is why we changed to become demons.

 

Why have you never asked yourself why it is, this club is so different to others , especially the power branded clubs.  Its the supporters swyl.   They create the win or lose mentality. They are the constant.

And because the club has been so removed from the street supporters, its culture fits that geography.  This in turn affects the club culture,  and is why we continually slip back to being a comfortable club,  with our lot.

Broadening the supporter base will bring back the real long-term hunger,  and the fire in the belly demons.

 

There is absolutely no point in doing the same,  over and over again,  as this club has done for 50Yrs.  And then expect things will be different,  by remaining the very same. And doing the same things.

We are different. The MFC grew from a Stadium, not a Suburb. But we do not use the name Melbourne enough. Melbourne as the Name of a big City. I am well aware of that. Have said it for years. 
but you and i are Fundamentally opposed as far as Operating Systems are concerned. 

A big Shiny Building will mean nothing if the Club is not winning. 
You Speak of Supporters running the win or lose mentality, that is only partially true. If the Football Department and Board are not running well, the Supporters will make no difference at all (Richmond were mostly Hot Air for 37 years, same can be said for Essendrug and Carlscum, lots of Hot Air lately)

MFC Supporters have put up with far more  crap than most, yes we could be louder, but how many times can you be let down??

2019 was beyond a disgrace, and a social Club will not help matters at this point. It’s Football Department matters that need addressing. 
we need wins for relevance in a tight market, not a place for Birthday ? Parties ?

Yes that's right, and Now it no longer works.

We no longer have the pick of players who want to come play at the 'G'.  we are seen as fussy sorts,  a bit fuddy dudd, and generally as losers in AFL

When we are winning strongly,  then we are hated for our arrogant ways,  and when we are in our soft losing moods years end on end,  we are pitied.

Players generally aren't all that attracted to our brand, for these reasons.

 

Its high time the club grew from out of its own shadow,  and did something substantial about this. the boards of our past are all guilty of failing to make the ballsy decisins for foear of upsetting one side or the other. 

 

In short. the supporters who inhabitat the Mcc,  are in a sense holding up the club from growth and prosperity,  due to their own desires.

Richmond became stale and non dynamic.

It was Benny Gale and the Lady President that started to shift the thinking, and made things happen, a little like Diick Seddon's time.   But Diick left for commission ideals, when we needed him on-board the ship.

The difference in a way, is that club is open to all and supporters who can meet and get to know the potential directors, Via a direct liaison within the club.

Melbourne does not have this inclusory capacity, at it stands,  and so,  we vote based on emailed referrals, and get boards who has been referred to us.  Without any real knowledge of the directors at a personal level.

This is one of the biggest hurdles IMO,  that has caused our generic decline.  The divide between the leaders and the supporters is far to wide a gap.  And the outcomes are a stifled club that has been greying more and more, over each decade.

Some of this i agree with. Benny Gale was a neighbour of mine 20 years ago. Had drinks with him a few times. Top Bloke, was not suprised when he took over Richmond. A very sharp operator. 
but i bet my left ball that Benny looked at The Richmond Football Department as the first place to sort out and worked his way out from there. 
Priorities, get the team functioning and then the other areas start to roll. 
We saw momentum in 2018, but it broke badly. Why?

it wasn’t the Supporters or a lack of a Social Club, it was inside the Football Department

Gale looked initially to sort the club out,  re the home-ground base,  the playing surface was leveled,  and expanded, closer to the size of the 'G'.

But it was all about the club itself. change was required and they got to it.

Tigers have a home base.  with social facilities for supporters.

Blues have had a home base. with social facilities for supporters.

Bummers have had a home base. with social facilities for supporters.

Pies have had home bases. with social facilities for supporters.

Cats have a home base. with social facilities for supporters.

Hawks have had home-bases. and social facilities for supporters.

 

Most all the stronger clubs all started with home bases, and social facilitates for the supporters,  one and all.

it was the supporters who got aggressive at games abnnd got behind the team that helped the side to build momentum in 2018.

We banished the polite sitdown and clap.  Traded it in for good Ol fashioned yelling, and cheering the team, and booing the opposition.  We poked and prodded the faithful to stop the polite and get argy-bargy at games, for our team.

It was noticeable from early in the season,  and as the team got back together,  the wins and momentum and belief lifted,  like back n '87.   But we were ahead of our list strength.  It was a peep show of our future only.

This 2019 year was the year we had to have.  To add much needed talent onto our basic list.

Those strong running players,  and more young talent for the eye to our longer term future. a strong list coming on is like a fashion. here one day gone the next. 

 

Its the strength of the club itself.   that maintains the necessary flows of spirit, revenues, and generally, interest in the clubs well-being. the excite,ment arounfd the club maintained by its dro in supporters.

They/We hold the key, the love and the passion, that is so necessary for the payers to maintain the workloads and the focus,  and the will to succeed, time and again.

When Jackson came on board one of his first utterances was "you've got to fix the footy first". So he was in agreement with you SWYL.

As an aside, were it not for a lack of multiple font sizes and references to "the Northern Stand", I'd swear you've had similar discussions with the same bloke - different name though

I can understand the nostalgic desire for a gathering place/social club but I cannot see how in this day and age you could ever make such a thing pay. Gone are the days of a keg out the back of the stand.

Mind you it's probably an easier problem to solve than that of getting  a decent training facility near the MCG.

Hardly surprising but still depressing to look at. Surely the 20's can be our decade, our fans deserve it!!! ?

A new decade comes, new beginning. God I'd love nothing more to see that ladder flipped so the Cats, Hawks, and Swans fans can experience our depression! (Cat's fans especially)

I remember the optimism rising in 2010 for the coming decade of domination.
That turned out well.

engagement,  swyl.

Its about engagement, and sharing stories, and all those little things that bind people together.  =  the essence of what a club is all about.

This is what Melbourne has never had,  well at least since the early 60's.

Talk about life, wishes, desires, ailments of kids, sadness at being down the ladder, all human understandable traits, and players need these equalising attributes, to keep their feet planted on mother earth. 

Think Roughhead.  He's an honest down to earth person, who has no tickets on himself.   (and we wanted to get him to the Dees as a coach, for good reason, but he went to the saints ???)
This is the sort of thing that coming into contact with everyday people at the club, brings to elite players.  It normalises them.

 

This is a big hole in our club, and I am sure this is one of the missing pieces to our puzzle.   A big chink in our club makeup.

Sure is. We can chat from home. 
why would i go into a “Club Room” to vent. 
 

Once the Team is winning people will gravitate towards each other. 
it is all priorities. Get the Motor running first, tuned up and purring. Then build on that

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
