    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 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.

One person voted Bulldogs. How can anyone hate the Bulldogs more than Essendon, Collingwood, and/or Carlton ???! Genuine question. 

I've never had to throw a punch or inflict physical violence upon another footy fan but every time it's been a thumb and a finger away, it's been Bullfrog supporters. So from my point of view and I chose Essendon and the Hawks as my most hated Victorian teams, I understand that someone chose them.

It’s pretty simple for me.

I collectively despise Collingwood, Richmond and Essendon the most.

However only one team’s supporters have the ability to remain completely incorrigible, delusional and arrogant beyond the realms of comprehension, even when they are garbage….and that’s Essendon. 
This comes even after having to restrain myself during games from the baiting of Collingwood supporters in the past couple of years.

I have three metrics - There is the perception of the club, and then there are the fans of the club, and then the players. It has always been the tightest of races with Collingwood out in front now on all 3 counts. I have worked at Vic Park, their fans match the cliches. The fact that they won 4 GF in a row, bar them in ‘58 we would have had 6 in a row, generations of reasons to hate. And of course the ‘23 QF…funnily enough I have had grudging respect for many pies players it just doesn’t outweigh the hate.

Essendon, mad hate leavened by some of the Madden brothers who I have met and consider good blokes, but then when you consider basterds like Sheedy, Long, Fletcher, Hird, Lloyd, Wallis, Duckworth, Andrews and Stringer, well its like the scales of justice with an elephant on one side and a mouse on the other. Supporters extremely arrogant.

Carlton, Pig’s Ar$e Elliot, Sticks, 99% of their supporters, very small redeeming factors like Justin the clumsy giraffe, Doull, Jezza and Kouta. It is intolerable that they beat us in the semi last year, still burns

Daylight to the rest, nothing beyond antipathy.

Being in my 70's it was always Collingwood (bought up that way), however times have changed. After the 2000 GF and the thugery of Essendon, the pure nastiness of their supporters AND THEN the drugs issue are my most hated. 

Then there would be Geelong. The AFL's darling as well as the Vic government's drop of millions for "Taxpayer Park" while we have not had ONE DOLLAR.

You can almost raffle the rest, however Carlton (like bad cream) is rising to the top.

Collingwood cannot escape a mention as in general their supporters are a sight to behold and their ignorance of rules is mind blowing. Loved previous TV stations before Ch7 highlighting some of the worst looking, toothless & angry supporters. You didn't need to be a lip reader to know their comments Just like sheep following each other. Love the way Pendlebury plays the game (well he was a Melbourne supporter as a child) but the thugery of some of the others is just [censored].

Was surprised there wasn’t more Hawthorn hate. They owned us for a LOT of years.
Their supporters’ innate belief that another dynasty is just around the corner infuriates me more than anything in the game.

I’ve genuinely never had issues with Hawks fans beyond being arrogant when they were a powerhouse side, which I don’t think is unusual for any supporter group. 

However on the train ride home yesterday, a bunch of highly intoxicated meathead Hawks fans were incredibly aggressive and abusive to the Melbourne fans, including the kids around them. Dropping f bombs, threatening to beat up anyone who told them to be quiet etc.

 It was disgusting and downright scary behaviour. I was relieved they got off the train soon after my dad did or I would have removed myself and waited for another train. In 2024 I would think this type of [censored] would be reserved only for the lowest of Collingwood scums, but apparently not. Haven’t felt this unsafe since the Pies final last year. Not ok!

I did teacher training with the Madden brothers and they were indeed good guys, but their supporters are the poplar opposites.

Yeah, I despise Collingwood with a passion, aren't far behind, their supporters are tools.

Collingwood. This should be the only option in the poll. They're arrogant scum and their supporters have been violent and abusive at games I've attended. 

Western Bulldogs a runner up for me. Had poor experiences at some of their games too.

I couldn't get over their (pies fans) behaviour last year. They beat us in a close final and then they  were angry and abusive after the game.

Happiness does need to seem to be in their DNA. Either just angry or gloatingly abusive when things go their way.

It must be blowing Nev Jettas mind.

The Collingwood hate runs long in our family.  My mother raised us all to be Demons.  She'd sing songs like this to us:

"Good old Collingwood forever,

They KNEW how to play the game.

SIde by side they fell together,

To uphold the Demons' name!

Hear the barrackers a squealin',

Just like Collingwood do!

For the premiership's a cakewalk,

For the good old Red and Blue!"

Small correction if you don't mind. "Good old Collingwood FOR NEVER" is what the cheersquad used to sing back in the 60"s

See, now, I'm a more nuanced type. Qualitative not quantitative, y'know?

What I need is something like those kids' puzzles where you have to match the animal from the left column to its home in the right column.

bird, wombat, snail v shell, nest, burrow

For example choose from Collingwood, Hawthorn, Essendon, Carlton, West Coast on the left column.

Then add contempt, disgust, disdain, irritation, hostility in the right column.

For a long time, I hated St Kilda the most because of some people I had the displeasure of knowing.  

These days, it's mainly Collingwood (for the many reasons expounded by people above) and Carlton that draw my ire.  A small corner of me hates Richmond due to one of their fans as well, but that's trivial.

Eagles had gotten themselves right up there for me. Hard to live in the west as a vic supporter and not develop a constantly burning ember of hatred for them. However, cwood and the media sycophancy have done much in previous couple of years for them to regain the utmost of my contempt. Well earned you [censored] heads. Can't wait for the next time we face them

Yep. It’s not enough to enjoy a win, they feel the need to make oppo supporters miserable, at the game and on the trip home. Hope they have a [censored] year, this and every year.

This was an interesting poll for me.

I thought it was obviously a no brainier but I'll have a crack.

No surprise on the team but....

 

SPOIL ALERT

 

 

I thought 52% for Pies was low.

Also nobody really likes  Essendon but I don't think they would come in second.

    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

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
