  • 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.

"i still havent heard from them....

they must not like new people on their forum huh?"

hey, cactus...

I received an email from them saying that my "account" has to be activated by an administrator...

it does seem like an unnecessarily long process...

although it might stop trolls who want to post in the heat of the moment... :unsure:

I was working all day, and the best part was to be greeted on arriving home with mrs.rollo beaming "guess what ??"...

and guess what, I didn't guess, but she told me eventually...

"will be in touch shortly"

good work, mfc... :rolleyes:

Apparently the guy who PM'd me is switched on and according to my source at Mighty Hawks, he'll come through with the goods.

When he gets back to me, I'll make sure he reaches you and Hards.

Rollo, I guess the best we can do is wait and see what "Cryptkeeper" comes back with.

Worse case scenario is we wait till the off season. Otherwise, we stand a chance to have a hitout in the next month or two.

Let's leave it up to them and see what they come back with in their approach....?? what do you think?

"Still no word from mighty hawks...."

may be time to let it go, mfc...

at least then you can stop writing "mighty hawks"... :blink:

Rollo!

Where have you been lately?

Long time no hear.

I hope you caught up with and enjoyed the Professor's article on the # 3 at Melbourne which of course included the one and only and the great Trevor Rollinson.

If we can't organise a game v the Hawks then let's at least see if we can organise a repeat of the supporters get together that we had at Leigh Oak or something similar later this year?

Cheers

Rollo....the Hawks have responded with this:

All right. Our social game of footy is starting to take shape.

We have a ground - Victoria Road Reserve, East Hawthorn.

Unofficially, it is not available. However, the team that is authorised to use the ground on Saturday afternoon is playing away that weekend and as far as anyone can tell me, it is not available.

There are no fines for unauthorised use of the ground, according to a council officer I spoke to.

There is no cost to use the ground on this basis.

The ground is smallish, so we may play with no wings, have a bigger bench and look to play 15-20 minute quarters with good rotations for those concerned about fitness.

We have a date - 7 July 2007, 2.00pm.

We have jumpers - everyone supplies their own Hawthorn Jumper. I trust everyone has one.

We do NOT have an opponent.

Although approaches are being made to melbournefc to see if they can get a team up from Demonland.

We do NOT have an umpire

Although the Cryptkeeper has a contact who is an experienced country umpire. We would need to pay him, so there will be a nominal charge per head.

We do NOT have a team

So if you are interested, PM me your name, approximate height and weight, football experience and preferred position and we will see what we can put together.

I will list those who confirm they can play here as I get responses and start to put together a team. I recommend we have a training session or two between now and then.

Rollo, person called Kon Khan posted this on Friday....do you want to make contact? Does this even suit Demonlanders?

"Not sure about Huddo on Biffo...."

well, youngster....

hudson AVERAGED over 5 goals per match over a long career...

the BEST he ever managed against ray biffin was 4...

the BEST he ever managed against biff when rollinson was playing back pocket was 3...

p.s. nobody ever called ray biffin "biffo"....

Did Ray Biffin play full back against Peter Hudson in the first round of 1972 when Hudson did his knee? Huddo was on fire with eight goals up to half time.

FWIW, Peter McKenna used to give Biffin a bit of trouble.

    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,
