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.


A toast to our Dees and fans

No we haven’t won the premiership or have another Brownlow winner but minor premiers, 5 in AA, nab rising star, 3 players in the under 22s and coaches award.

We are finally back for real. 
After that smashing against Geelong 2011 I seriously thought will we survive as a club.

we where in such a deep hole I honestly questioned if we’d make it.

but ten years later look at us now!

Thank you all for sticking with the club also, for believing we could turn it all around. 
We have our mighty dees back!

Now let’s get down to business. 
LETS GO DEES!!

It's certainly a good time to be a Dees supporter.

A timely thread, Girl; I was looking for somewhere to say I realised some time (well!) after midnight last night that I was overdosing on Demonland. Time for a break!

I don’t know about anyone else but every time I read something positive about the club it just fills me with utter joy and the tears start welling in my eyes again. I am scared of what I will be like if we do win the grand final! Here’s to the Dees! you're crying season 4 GIF by Blindspot

It definitely is quite pleasing and makes me feel some pride as a Melbourne Demons supporter. We certainly have suffered over the years. All these All Australians and individual awards. They certainly are great!

However, I hope the Demons players have their minds set on achieving bigger things than just mere individual accolades.

I have been a member since 1998 and I remember when I was a bit younger how excited I was in 1998 and 2000. Does anybody remember Demon Radio in those days? I used to love listening to it!

Anyway, this time it feels different. This is the best I have ever seen the MFC play as an entire team! I am just trying not to get too ahead of myself.

I wanna see the Demons win a Premiership so I can celebrate with with my Dad and the rest of my family. I will probably cry tears of joy once the final siren sounds.

But we all need to hold our horses! We still have a long way to go! We have a very formidable opponent in the Brisbane Lions this weekend and that needs to be our focus and the total focus of all the Demons players and coaching staff.

I wanna allow myself to dream though....but I have been disappointed so many times before that it's hard to allow myself to do that for very long. It must be the MFCSS that I have developed over the many years.

Could this be the year we break the drought of a Premiership flag that has been going for 57 years? I honestly don't know yet.... we won't know until the end of September.

Nevertheless, I have high hopes and this song by Panic! At The Disco which is aptly titled "High Hopes" definitely helps me dare to dream that the Demons are in with a chance! Fingers crossed!

GO DEMONS!!!

Sorry @Supreme_Demon but that song got ruined for me when Pete Buttigieg had those dancing flash mobs undulating to it. 

Upon seeing this footage, I too was convinced Trump would remain US president for the next 200 years. 😄😅

Love all the great posts, after watching the AFL Awards this morning I was feeling quite delirious such a great watch and it all rotated around our mighty team and if anyone still doubted Simon Goodwin listen carefully to our top players. All our Key Indicators are pointing towards a Premiership, how crazy happy would that be for thr entire Demon Family.!

This is me!!!! I’m always proud of our boys and always have been. But this overwhelming feeling of pride is insane! 
I could get used to this. 😊

Not sure where to put this.

But today the boys said their goodbyes to their wives and girlfriends which means they could be away from their families for a number of weeks.

Gary Pert sent a bunch of flowers to all the players partners today as a recognition of support and to say thank you.

Well done Gary Pert and the Melbourne Football Club.

We have turned the corner as a footy club - on and off the field. When I look at our progress this year, it’s no fluke. We have a plan and we’re sticking to it - again - on and off the field. 
 

This year has been incredible so far, but the best thing for me, is that we have set ourselves up for years to come.

If Norm really has put a curse on this Grand Old club, maybe he has waited to see how long it would take for the club to be deserving of another Premiership. Maybe now he is ready to lift it off.

He didn’t. It’s just a silly excuse people invented for poor performances. Anyone that believes that must still believe in Santa Claus. Even if he did, he returned as coach and would have immediately reversed any “curse” he put on it.

Lets hope we can win it this year and prove this excuse was nothing but ridiculous hocus pocus.

I always thought of the "Curse of Norm Smith" as the curse placed upon Melbourne by the Footy Gods for what was done to Norm, not the curse of Norm for what was done to him.

He's just a man. He has no power to cause the calamities that have befallen Melbourne over the years. Only the Footy Gods have that power.

    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
