  • 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.

Highlights of the captain’s run = firstly, the 7 year old kid next to us getting a signed ball over the fence from Clarrie. He could’ve popped with joy. Secondly, the ‘hearts’ in my wife’s eyes when L

Hey Kev, perhaps you should delete  old pics you’ve posted and that are no longer needed. You just go to your account, click on ‘my attachments’ and select the pics you don’t need, and delete. 

Thanks WCW, cleared the 6 attachments, and I now have 4.88 MB.

Wohoo

I have more really good shots, but the site won't let me upload any more because it would exceed the "max total size of 302.47 kb". Is there any way to get around this?

Hopefully, your selfless sacrifice will be rewarded with a victory tomorrow night.

My ‘selfless sacrifice’ has already been rewarded, HT. For health and safety reasons we can’t use the unsold (and uncooked) food. Long story short… I’m on my way home right now with five loaves of bread and 72 sausages! Imagine how happy my son will be when he realises it’s sausages for dinner every night for the next month or so. 😁

I hope so! Sausages don’t talk back to you. And sausages don’t have a messy bedroom. Nor do they stay up really late on school nights then bit*ch and moan the next morning having to get up early. Need I go on?!

No but I can’t imagine it’d be any harder than living with a moody teenage boy.

The boys all moved well despite knee bandages on Gus, Kozzie and Trent.

No knee bandages on BBB, Max or Salo, which is really good news.

Here's a few pics from the session.

Ahh...all is right with the world. We're still training (and playing) in September, crowds have turned up for our training session, and if I look closely at the fifth of these photos, I think I see Satyr wearing a jaunty, white beret to match his beard.

Back to actual training talk.

Viney was tutoring Sparrow at the end of training on the art of dodging your opponent at stoppage by starting behind your opponent and then grabbing them and shoving them behind you as you go forward. He was then tutoring him on grabbing the ball with your arms up so you can still handball it off in a tackle.

I was there too .... easily identifiable because I was wearing a yellow (high viz) cycling jacket. (I incorporated the visit to Gosch's Paddock as part of my morning ride.)

Caught up with the lovely WCW and snagged myself a snag. Good set up there although it was sans coffee when I got there (about 10.15 am).

Nice atmosphere ... Training session seemed pretty relaxed/low key.

Would be nice to meet some D/Landers there next week ...

Good to see the seconds on the paddock, about 3/4 of the way during the first squads run.

Given that they have the bye, my guess is that they will be around the team all today and tomorrow, offering support, learning about the lead up to finals, and being, generally involved.

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    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,
