  • 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.

My name is St.Kilda

Well mid-year uni exams are upon us, and like a few others on this site I've spent my days of late 'hitting the books'. But as anybody who has gone to uni knows, you can't study all day everyday. So I've also spent my days of late watching dvds. One in particular, the television show 'My name is Earl'.

For those not familiar with the show it is all about Earl who writes a list of all the bad things he has done. He then tries to make up for them in order to warn off the bad karma he had been experiencing.

This got me to thinking about St.Kilda.

St.Kilda were a strong team who made the finals four years in a row. They then, sacked their coach Grant Thomas. It could be argued this decision was made for non-football reasons.

It could also be argued that only bad things have happened since. This season:

- St. Kilda has only managed 4 wins

- Has been crippled by injury

- The club has been publically comprimised by an ugly dispute between former friends Butress and Thomas

- Fraser Gehrig has now been charged with assault after a GF eve brawl

- St.Kilda has also failed (so far) to secure the signature of star Nick Riewoldt

- Possibly been forced to leave their home of over 40 years after losing council 'pokie' support

- Brett Voss overlooked for fantasy QLD state of origin team (this one is a joke!)

Have St.Kilda just been unlucky or are they experiencing bad karma for the way they disposed of Thomas?

For those who don't believe in Karma I suggest you take a day off work to watch a whole season of 'My name is Earl'. Then you may be convinced that St.Kilda are copping their right whack.

You may also be convinced that we should tread carefully when deciding the fate of ND at the end of the year...just in case!

St Kilda have been crippled by injuries for three years and being a thug that beats people up has nothing to do with karma.

You also forgot to mention the saints had a super-dooper list (best in comp i reckon) for two years, yet failed to win a premiership. Guess that has nothing to do with Thomas though, so maybe the 'karma' runs further than what you first thought.

Oh oh and don't forget the one they lost against the crows when they had harves, lowe, burke and winmar playing..

And how's about a captain that cries when he gets hurt?

Far out, someone's out to get 'em alright.

The obvious inference from I can't believe it's not Butters is that Cornflakes is cutting St Kilda's lunch with both Nicks. Neither are signed, sealed or delivered.... it could be a very interesting trade period.

St Kilda was crippled by injury under Thomas as well.

The brawl Fraser Gheric with happened during Thomas' time

Was it also Butters decision to sack Blight? Then hire his "mate" Thomas?

Doesn't make sense. Anyone who sacks Thomas should get good karma IMO!

all this makes perfect sense to anyone who has been around StKilda over the years.. seriously.,,, never met a lot with such want to self implode or devour their selves!!

As an AFL team they make a good VFL effort.. and thats probably demeaning to most VFL teams. point being..they are not on the same page of professionalism as many teams. They are succeptable too easily to factions and skeletons that make their way out of woodwork.

I have a genuine soft spot for thh sainters...spent many an arvo with mates up by the scoreboard watching the antics of the animal cage..or later the animal antics of the club bar, but seriously they are their own worst enemy !!

Gouga you might be too young to remember what REALLY started their recent bad karma.

It all started because a team named Melbourne beat them in the 1998 semi final at the MCG. http://stats.rleague.com/afl/seas/1998.html#fin

In that year St Kilda went further into the finals than they had been in a long, long time. They looked like a team on the up with a rosey future. They had the reigning Brownlow medalist in Robert Harvey (who won his second medal the week after that fateful game) and players like 'Aussie' Jones, Barry Hall, Matthew Lappin, Shane and Darryl Wakelin all starting to emerge as players. They also had some pretty handy older hands like Nathan Bourke, Stuart Lowe, Justing Peckett and Jamie Shanahan.

Have you guessed what they did yet ?

That's right.....after the game they sacked the coach. :wacko:

In the end, it may not actually be karma, but just a culture thing.

Go Dees

    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
