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.


Thank you Demonland

Many hands makes light work and it's not always the easiest job for these guys. On top of that they provide us with a great podcast that keeps us informed week after week.

Great work DL team. Such a pleasure to be part of it 👏

3 hours ago, leave it to deever said:

It also seems we have been less cranky with one another this season with less sniping and more positivity. Maybe a flag after 57 years will do that.

So thank you again to those keeping the site going and to those who have shared their unique humor, wit and time over the six months.

May we blessed with at least another one  of the same fun up until the siren sounds our 14th flag.

I've certainly found this year and to an extent most of last year to be lower stress and more enjoyable than any other time of being a MFC supporter as well.  The moments of sheer emotion and elation from Rd 23 onwards last year were something to behold.  Getting to share that with everyone on this forum has been great.

This season has been so different to any other I've experienced as a footy supporter.  To be honest, I've almost found myself being a bit bored and apathetic towards footy at times, which is something quite new to me.  Alot of the time I haven't felt a burning desire to read or contribute to D'land either. However the losses we had through the middle part of the season have reminded me that it's not all peaches and the wins somewhat against the grain against Carlton and Brisbane in recient weeks have got me excited for what we could produce again.

Look forward to riding out the next month with my fellow posters / Demon faithful.  Would love to be wearing a MFC jumper with 14 on the back that represents both a few of my favorite players and the number of flags we've won! (P.S. my son has a jumper with BBB's playing No. on the back!!).

 

P.P.S. hope your health is on the up Litd.

Lovely post. I feel the same. 

This site means a lot to me. It’s a release valve for me. As my wife says when I regularly get annoying - why don’t you go on your silly footy forum and crack your stupid jokes on there?

aww. You can feel the love

thanks DL for prolonging my marriage!

Indeed it has. 

Game day threads can be a bit intense at times, but the average football threads are way less aggro compared to 2013. It was Beyond Thunderdome stuff back in those days. 

Hopefully this love and good will can last through when we become poo again some day in the (very distant) future!

Thanks guys. As the lone Demon supporter in my household and now living away from Melbourne I enjoy the insights, humour and the bantering on DL.

I am married to a Pies supporter and he is somewhat envious (even though he will not admit it) as there is nothing like this for Pies fans who want information and intelligent conversation.

Listening to the podcast makes my weekly drives into the city much more bearable.

Keep up the good work and I will be making another donation first thing tomorrow.

Go Dees.

Gee Winners, if you feel you need to apologise then I probably need to build a church in Demonland's honour! 😆

I wonder how difficult it might be to run a few searches for 'post of the day' results or simply posts which got an unusual number of reactions and responses for their topic? That could be a way to assemble a Demonland Yearbook.

Ooh, Demonland Yearbook, we're opening up the merch stores now!

I am sure that Andy appreciates all the kind thoughts offered by everyone. 

The fact that he keeps this site going to all of our collective benefit is simply very generous. 

But it is not just the time ( which is extensive) but it costs $'s to run and maintain. Money that otherwise comes from his pocket.

Software, upgrades, hosting fees, equipment for podcasts...all costs.

So if you can help with these, take out an annual or lifetime membership, or just donate a little to keep the ship afloat.

Any extra left over is directed toward player sponsorhip, so the club benefits as well.

Thanks again to everyone, you make this site what it is.......

I joined DL in April 2021 so it’s needless to say I’ve not been here for the 💩 times, only the good and great times. 🏆

Andy and co. provide an awesome service and I’m forever grateful to be a part of this site. 💕

There’s some absolutely beautiful souls on DL. But if I may, I wanna thank one in particular, that being the young Dees diehard who introduced me to DL in the first place. He’s a longtime member of DL who reads the content but never posts (hey hey 👋 you know who you are. 😘).

How did we meet? I’m glad I asked. 😁 So, I had a tradesman at mine doing a repair. When his work was finished he came into the kitchen with the paperwork, saw my mini shrine (my pantry wall) and uttered those five magic words… Who’s the Melbourne supporter here?

Well, what ensued was the biggest Dees-nerd sesh ever there was. We gushed about our beloved Club for like 40 mins or so. He told me about DL and I joined that very day, probs before he even left my driveway. 😆

 

THANK YOU ANDY AND CO.

I also am so grateful that I found Demonland, I no longer read the Sports sections and rely on this site and MFC site for all my footy news and intelligence on what is happening within our mighty club and AFL. Our posters keep us informed with greater clarity, humour and timelines than other sources. I thinks that my better half sometimes gets a little jealous of my devotion to our site. Thanks Demonland and all posters for making our lives just that little bit more enjoyable and fulfilled. ❤️💙🤘💕

I once had a tradesman over at my place who also must have seen some Demon's paraphernalia and asked if I go for the Demons. We had about the Demons for about 20 mins and he told me that I must go to Demonland to read about the Demons.

True Story.

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
