  • 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.

Mad Monday… a thing of the past?

My favourite thing is people who spent their entire adult life at uni and then straight into an office job, where they’ve remained, having an opinion on how a group of young, elite, high performing individuals should spend their first day off. Let them be and just go away. 

Very specific here. Very pointed, too. So, if the folks you describe above shouldn’t have an opinion on  how a group of young, elite, high performing individuals should spend their first day off, who do you think should have an opinion on such?

Also, what happened to the zeitgeist… “everyone’s entitled to their opinion”???

Looks like mills will miss half of next season I would be ropeable if it was our player 

He missed almost an entire season a few years ago with a broken foot which came from a mishap after a pre-season training session. The Swans reported that he was playing around with teammates, kicking a toy footy to one another and he landed on uneven ground, rolled his ankle and this action caused a fracture in a small bone in his foot, similar to Fritta’s foot injury.

If we let the latte-chardonnay sipping woke leftist trans communist gays take away our mad monday, what will be next!

This sounds like a Mad Monday I’d love! The music would be so on point - a mix of union songs and disco bangers.

Have we had ours? Obviously low key. Look I think clubs are better at it these days. 

But why did mills and some teammate need to wrestle? Mills got injured years ago in a freak accident and now their captain could miss most of next season.

Could you just imagine longmires reaction when he got the phone call.

20 odd years ago when I started my professional working life, Christmas Parties could be wild affairs at times. Social mores change over time and end of year functions are much tamer affairs than in the past (at least from what I have observed). I suspect the AFL is no different to the rest of society? 🤔

Yes we had ours at a rooftop bar and the lads were well behaved.

Happy for the Demons players to have a few drinks for the sake of team bonding.

However, I hope that Max Gawn and the rest of the team used the opportunity of their Mad Monday celebrations to "make a pact" to leave no stone unturned in their efforts to win the Premiership in 2024!

We must be as ruthless and determined as we were in 2021 to achieve the ultimate success again and hold up that Premiership cup at the MCG!

Really? Make a pact? After a tough year when they gave their all? You don't think they try and leave no stone unturned every year? 

This ain't the boy scouts, dib dib, dob dob, and all that

I never said they didn't give their all. But they have certainly underachieved with the talented list that the Demons have.

Obviously something needs to fundamentally change so that the Demons are more determined than ever to win the Premiership next year in 2024 at the MCG.

Being called "chokers" by various moronic imbeciles in the football media is humiliating and makes my blood boil! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

The Demons have wasted their opportunities in seasons 2022 and 2023 and we cannot allow this to happen again in 2024.

Anyway, it is up to the Demons players themselves to improve that extra amount just like every other player from an AFL club will wish to do in season 2024. We as Demons members and supporters can only cheer on and support from the side lines.

Nah gruelling season that's already about 4 weeks too long (that's coming directly from a few players i've spoken to).

A traditional bonding 'let-your-hair-down' bit of fun.  The old way is probably more risky (end of season trip).

If you don't let them have the mad monday they'll just find other ways of letting their hair down.  Some of which may end up in worse outcomes.

Boys will be boys.  Let them be boys.

I've also spoken with 2 players directly who feel that the season is too long.

Makes you wonder what the AFLPA does all day.

AFLPA: "Hey Gill, the season is too long. Can we make it 30% shorter?"

Gill: "Weren't you just telling me you wanted the salary cap increased?"

AFLPA: ..............

Gill: " Hello?  ... Hello?"

Possibly not listening to the players or maybe turning a blind eye somewhat? 

Although there is no way of knowing what the majority view is across all the clubs LZ.

    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,
