  • 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.

That's what you get paid the big bucks for WCW.

I get paid in ways that transcend mere $$$, BBO. You should try it sometime.

He’s Ryan. He’s one of a group of OGs who run the DA. Pre-covid he didn’t miss a single match in 21 years, including every interstate game and even in China! 
And you’re right… he’s loyal and passionate to such a degree, it’s next level. He’s always in the second row at games and he’s one of the three guys who strike up our chants. I’m usually in the third row or front row and his enthusiasm is infectious. And on top of all that, he’s a really nice person. We tease him a little about his hair and about folks wanting to get a selfie with him and he takes it really well. He’s the best.

He reckons that’s not him in that meme, rather it’s his evil twin. 😁 The irony is that he does in fact have a twin, but they look nothing alike. 
edit: I pass on every positive comment on DL to him and the others. As for the OP’s thread opener… yeah nah. 

I was at the Suns game at the Gabba in 2018.

Ryan was the MC for the pre game.

Extremely capable performer in front of an audience.

I saw him at the G the following Saturday and congratulated him on job as host.

And the target that’s held up when one of our players is lining up for goal has names and dates of when it was hit. Tmac was closest to the bullseye for a while, until last week in Alice where BBB took his place as closest…

I didn't see it anywhere else on here but I thought it was pretty amazing watching the cheer squad and surrounds sing happy birthday to Ryan on Saturday night (the printed photos were a good touch) after the players ran through a banner with his face on it as well! 

Wholesome reacts only everyone, what a great club and supporters!

Kate asked for a flag to be passed up to her and while not expecting a huge one, she took it and waved it like a pro…

At halftime she came down to wish Ryan happy birthday and ended up sitting with us for the rest of the match. And if anyone questions her passion for the Dees, she sat directly in front of me and let’s just say girl can barrack!

Any chance we can cram something about Gus signing on the banner this week WCW? 😜

It may well get a mention… who knows. We’ve been told if ever we have an idea for banner content to let the OGs know. And if our DA WhatsApp chat is anything to go by, there’s likely gonna be no shortage of people suggesting it. ❤️💙 

edit: we’ve made this week’s banner already. Ignore the above. 🙃

Tonight we made the banner for our round 2 AFLW match. (The banner for round one tomorrow night is en route to Adelaide now.) This is the round 2 banner…

It says, “ON THE BIG STAGE AND ON THE RAMPAGE” which is a reference to the ‘G, now that the match has been moved to be curtain raiser for our QF. 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼

Incidentally, we’re the only AFLW team that makes a banner for the girls to run through. Pretty sad for the other teams. 
 

Also, I’ve been tasked with the refurbishment of the giant Maxy head, the one with holes where his eyes should be (the creepy one). A couple of nightlights from IKEA and a couple of power banks and Maxy’s eyes will shine! 😃 It’s gonna look cool. Or at least less creepy.

This week’s banner celebrates Tracc’s 150th game. There is an absolutely stunning (and huge) montage of mainly Tracc moments. This section instantly made me think of @Jaded No More

This banner is gonna look amazing tomorrow night. 

Also, Tom Sparrow’s 50th gets a mention. But not Hibbo’s 100th as a Demon because only total number of games is noted. All good though, we all know the importance of this. ❤️💙

You mean that 100 games with the red and the blue gives us the father - son opportunity?

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
