  • 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.

Quite happy for Hawthorn to eat there and not us. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.smh.com.au/national/human-excrement-found-in-free-gelato-20081026-gdt0cj.html

That’s what happens when you complain and the chef finds out. Very harsh response imo. 
I went there a few years ago with friends and the steaks were good although we didn’t have dessert !!! Thankfully team is in Manly

Don't understand why folks are complaining about the distance to travel to a full AFL sized oval just once per week.  There aren't many AFL sized ovals in Sydney, especially in popular residential are

On the ABC last night Gladys said no return to lock-down in NSW - they have to learn to live with case spikes.  Definitely time for MFC and the AFL to get out of Dodge City.  Likely that Queensland (if they close the NSW border), SA, WA, NT and Tas will be the only available hub venues for the second half of the season.  Expect MFC to be on the road for a long period.

Looks like all Victorian teams are moving to Qld for the remainder of the season.

Everyone out of NSW soon, maybe last game on Sunday...but maybe not?

I can just see us having to leave NSW before Sunday and our match against the Hawks postponed. That would be so 2020 for us.

I wouldn't be surprised if we win our next 8 in a row, come in to flag favourites, then the season gets cancelled.  That's about all that's left to happen for our 2020!

My nightmare is winning a flag and not being there to see it. Don't get me wrong I'll take it but it truly would kill me in a first world problem kind of way.

I've sort of been there, done that. I was at the 1964 Grand Final but was too young to remember any of it.

I was there in 1988 and 2000. Still trying to forget it!!  Had quite a few beers before, during and after but the nightmare lives on!!!!

My parents weren't into footy in a big way back when we were winning premierships in the early 60's, so I could only listen on the radio (no live TV coverage).  I'm yet to SEE us win a GF.

I’d recommend the Meriton Suites At Broadbeach.  It’s excellent apartment style accomodation.  Not the hotel one room setup. 

It’s only 5-10 minutes Bus trip to Metricon stadium. Good local shops and cafes. Woolies within 5 minutes walk.  Close to the beach.  Pacific Harbour shops close. 

Definitely not stay in Surfers. Too much trouble there. 

The only issue is proximity to the casino. Don’t want to tempt young blokes with $$$ 

 

RACV Royal Pines Resort is other option. It’s big and players can keep busy with 18 holes of golf on any of the courses.  But it’s away from anything else. Perhaps that suits if you have to do the Q-tine thing

We've really been f'ed around the most so far. Games cancelled, moved to NSW and then to Qld.

Hopefully we can still win enough games to make finals and then who knows what will happen given the only teams that will play home finals will likely be Qld, SA and WA based teams.

Looks like games in the NT remain a possibility. Hopefully they can fly one of the Adelaide teams over. It just won’t feel like a Darwin home game without everyone cheering for the opposition.

I’m thinking we play the finals in Auckland.  It might be the only safe haven come late October. 

Geelong would love that....

A couple of comments I heard at a recent Lions V Dees GABBA game:

"Geez I hope the Lions get a few tries tonight!!!

"How many points do they get for hitting the uprights"

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
