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.


All is well in Demonland

 Is anyone else watching On the Couch tonight?? I tuned in, hoping to get a snippet or brief mention of our win on the weekend, but couldn't believe the 7/8 minute intro that brought a premature tear to my eye. This is building beautifully.

Any-one got a link or something so I can watch it.
Have tried looking for something myself and can't find anything.

Hey Fork, just type 'On the couch 17/5/21' into YouTube search, and the show is there in full. Enjoy.

I'm not sure where we can meet for a Demonland gathering (annoying question inserted here: what would be the collective noun for a group of Demonlanders? You know - a murder of crows, a mob of kangaroos, an asylum of Pies fans etc...) but I have a few good places to avoid:

  • The pub with no beer
  • The Salvos in Bourke St
  • The Windsor High Tea rooms

Some petty part of me would love to meet on Gosch's Paddock, walk down the road in huge numbers to the Pies headquarters and throw frozen pies over the fence onto their training track. Or cross the road and throw burnt cards and microwaves onto the Punt Rd oval. 

Yes, it does feel rather pleasant to be a Dees man at the moment.

I’d like to see this as a new culture for our fans. No more self-depreciating behaviour, no acceptance of failure, no more badmouthing our club, no more suggesting that we should have merged. I could get used to this

Tbh we really haven't been fully tested this year. The up coming WB game will be a true insight into where we are at and how excited I will get. At the moment I'm still kinda waiting for it all to fall apart as soon as that first loss occurs, I don't want to feel this way but I just do.

It all evens out in the end, doesn’t it?

In 2013, we had people unbelievably telling us that things weren’t really as bad as they seemed. (Note: It really was)

In 2018, we had some people coming out and saying that the losses to Richmond and Hawthorn were as bad as anything Neeld ever produced (Note: Watch the entire Seven broadcast of 148 and tell me if you think that’s the case), and that Goody’s tenure should be questioned from that moment onwards. 

While there were outliers, the truth about those eras were eventually revealed. As will the truth about this era. 
 

Should we continue to win, there will be no room for conjecture.

The Richmond game was not a disaster we were within a goal or two until a Tiger 5 goal last quarter made the final result look that. 
we had held them to about 8/9 goals at 3/4 time and our defence ( which was under performing like the whole team vs Hawks ) stood up well.

So then we played about a quarter and half of average footy vs Bombers at Marvel then Tommy Mac hit the scoreboard and we didn't look back on a 56 goal win.

Eon every game by big margin till Pies gave us an outside running wake up call on QB.

We started to realise then too many inside mids and bees around the honeypot and  it's taken till this year to solve most of those issues.

Just wanna throw some love Demonland’s way. I have learned SO much from DL. I’ve learned which wine is best paired with Beef Bourguignon, where (apart from Aldi) to buy the finest snow gear. That sort of thing. 

JK. (Sadly not JK) ?

Seriously though, I’m the first to admit I don’t have a ‘footy brain’ and not for want of trying. From a technical perspective I probs know more about cricket than footy. (I guess it doesn’t help that footy rules seemingly change every five minutes.) Truth be known, I’ve learned more in a month from DL than I have in how ever many years from the ‘experts’ in the media. Besides being super-informative DL-ers are infinitely cooler (and funnier) than most of those chumps. And on top of all that, my vocabulary has grown exponentially; for on DL  I’ve come across the odd hapax legomenon. Look it up! It’s Dictionary.com’s word of the day today. ??

I feel like we would be entitled to the entire CBD and would hope for levels of disruption to match Ajax's '95 Champion's League win...

    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
