  • 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.

‘Demonstone’ you forgot ‘rjay’ 

‘rjay’ always uses quotation marks when addressing posters. It’s an ‘rjay’ thing. So, ‘demonstone’ please remember ‘rjay’ next time.

Sir Why You Little:     This is what a typical Demonland thread looks like.

Lord Nev:     No it's not.  I'm sorry SWYL, but you've got it all wrong.

binman:     I'd like to add a brief comment but we all know that's not bloody likely.

old dee:     This thread will never be any good.  It's doomed to fail dismally.

picket fence:     Sheeeit!!!!!  I'm more EXCITED about this thread than BIG KEV could ever be!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Jaded No More:     I (censored) hate Geelong and this thread is almost as bad.

Clintosaurus:     The umpires will influence this thread.  It's the narrative that the AFL and media want.

Lucifers Hero:     Can the thread title be changed to "What They Are Saying At Brunton Avenue"?

daisycutter:     i don't see how capital letters could possibly improve this thread.

Ethan Tremblay:     This thread has sewn up a trade coup for MFC.  Make of that what you will.

Bitter but optimistic:     Has anybody "maid" a double entendre yet?

WalkingCivilWar:     Have some "manors" Uncle Bitters.  Soz, but Ima say it anyways.

faultydet:     Sigh.  This is just more woke virtue signalling.

rpfc:     I've nothing to say but here's a GIF for you.

Cranky Franky:     I object to everybody and everything in this stupid thread.

dazzledavey36:     I've been watching this thread since its junior days and knew it would make the top level.

willmoy:     This is a biased thread because of the maggots.

adonski:     This thread would be far better if Jacob van Rooyen was in it.

Demonstone:     Oh dear.  This thread is riddled with spelling mistakes and grammatical errors.

WERRIDEE:     I've made up a possible team using the names of all the posters in this thread.

Demonland:     This thread is now closed.  Take it to the "Changes For Next Thread" please.

 

Could not have said it better dstone.

I miss Deeluded.

Couldn't write a sentence to save himself but.. 

I miss trying to decipher what the bloody hell he was on about! You tried clarifying and he'd take you down some other weird and wonderful rabbit hole. It was like having a conversation with the serial pest, Peter Hore!

I know this thread will likely run 4-6 weeks, but there’s a better than even chance it’ll run longer.

Back then dl was convinced that the Northern Stand 'people' were the sole reason as to why we never won games ... it was all their fault

And the hub of course ... if we, as a group, had a place to visit after the games to have a coffee, we'd have also won more games

None of it ever made any sense

However, he is missed as he was part of what we are - a motley crew

From memory, his logic was something along the lines of there being too many backslappers in the Northern Stand that detached young players from reality and gave them too high an opinion of themselves. If there were only a community hub, they might start rubbing shoulders with salt of the earth types like himself and becoming more humble and better footballers. Supposedly, coaches no longer being able to give Ron Barassi/Norm Smith style sprays didn't help things either.

Never mind that we had a VFL quality midfield in 2012, a generation of draftees who either went on to success elsewhere or were wound up after 50 odd games, a CEO who was making draft selections, a sponsorship deal with a inveterate racist internet troll whose business model was built on a house of sand, and a coach whose first post game presser is used in AFL training circles as an example of not what to do.

I'm sure the latter set of examples had nothing to do why we were shot. It was all the social club and Northern Stand.

Deeluded's rants about the Northern Stand & the would-be hub in Elwood were priceless

Every day for close on 10 years.  Multiple posts per day as well on both non-talking points.  Stickability skills to the fore

And how about Rhino & Bub? ... the use of the like-type function only for those 2 now

 

Putting on a chastity belt and throwing away the key for them.

When you say “Connected in some way to the MFC” does emotionally connected count?

Asking for a friend who’s psych. ward level obsessed with the MFC and if brutally honest would admit to loving the Dees more than her own children. And not just a little more. A bunch more.

    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,

    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

    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.
