  • 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.

Today marks the 95th International Women’s Day (75th in Australia).

A day to acknowledge the achievements of all women, particularly those who strove tirelessly for equity, the results of which means among many other things we have Kate as our president, and a deserving President at that.

To quote a sign-off I share in PMs with another Dees gal ( 👋 xxx)  on here…

SHEILAS UNITE!!!!

PS: before any of the ‘usual suspects’ get on here biiitching and Moaning… “why isn’t there an International Men’s Day???” There is, every November 19th. It’s just that y’all are too lazy to get off your arzes to promote it. 😝😁🙃

I could probably name about six regular posters and maybe a few who post occasionally.  Probably 10 overall.  Not many in the scheme of things. Nonetheless, kudos to all male posters😘.  DL is a m

Yep, definitely a day to acknowledge. Obviously we don't want to only save our best for one day of the year but it's always good to have a stop and think moment.

Even if Australian women had achieved equality in all areas (which they have not) they have every right to celebrate International Womens Day every year. Think of it like your birthday, it's OK.

In my case it is, MD!

So I have two reasons to celebrate today, which justifies the fact that I’m currently polishing off another bottle of champagne with my gal-pal who is also a birthday girl.

🥂 Here’s to day-drinking! 🥂

Can we merge this with @WalkingCivilWarthread which is also a great thread.  TIA

Umm, what happened to her thread?  I haven't been on DL all afternoon but it seems to have disappeared from the main Forum page? 😟

Did someone derail it?

Edit:  Oops, found it the General Discussion Forum. 

Just read the thread.  Someone really ruffled @WalkingCivilWar's feathers.  Not sure it is a good idea to ruffle the feathers of a 'ranga' - fiery at the best of times😍

This is off topic (football) granted, but is it really? 

There are many women involved in the AFL like our president. Our AFLW team. It is still  International Womens Day, leave this topic on the main board, at least until people have had the chance to read it and respond.

For good reason too. Misogyny has no place on Demonland. Do you disagree?

I agree  no place anywhere for misogyny, however there were some positive posts as well.

I can understand the drinking WCW. It’s tough when you actually hit 30.

Yeah that’d be some of mine. And rightly so. I may or may not have threatened to burn DL to the ground. 😬 As Luci @Lucifers Herosaid best not to ruffle the feathers of a fiery ranga. Wise words indeed.

Special mention to my mother-in-law and aunt-in-law, who took the 'International' part to the extreme by spending the day flying back to Vietnam.

International Women's Day is also a much bigger deal in Vietnam than here, so I'm glad they also get four extra hours of the day there to celebrate!

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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

    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
