  • 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.

Vandersaar out for 8 weeks including the Community Shield on Sunday. Finger broken against Bayern has been operated on and he will not play until October sorry Devils fans....

Pompey on the Brink. No Buyer - Player car boot sale - no dough. David Nugent and Marc Wilson brawled with steel coat hanger rails ripped from their hotel rooms after a 5am bust up on the turps. They will be disciplined in house.

Arsenal interested in Soloman Kalou - GG says come and take the useless pr!ck.

Reals Spending has now hit £220M so far with £30M for Alonso in Rafa's back pocket to splash.

Spurs ended up with £15M for Bent - nice coin for a pretender.

That's all for now.

Fantastic atmosphere at the stadium... great game. France full of individual brilliance but we played as the better team perhaps. We have avoided the opening round thrashing of the last two

Seems to have been revised down to 10m - still overpriced, but a bit more realistic after last year's horror show.

Indeed KW. Went from 13 to 15 to 10. Danile Levy tough negotiator. Niall Quinn better I'd say....

Wigan have just signed striker Scott Sinclair on a season-long loan from Premier League rivals Chelsea.

Spurs miss out on Hunterlaar - off to AC Milan.

Tevez injured in the Man City shower, slipped over trying to pick up the soap could face tests next week to be fit. Knew The Devils fans will love to hear that one..... Wonder who tried to ram one into him? Ha!!!

Man City lost 3-2 to Rangers last night as well.

CHELSEA’S hopes of signing Andrea Pirlo are over after AC Milan insist he is not for sale

Lyn Oslo 0 Liverpool 2

ALBERT RIERA gave Liverpool an injury scare on the day the Reds lost Xabi Alonso

Reminds me of the story of Leeds when they were "living the dream" of the player who wanted 10k per week, was hoping for 20k and nearly bit their hand off when he was offered 40k straight off the bat......

i'm a toon 'fan' (bandwagon 96/97, Shearer,etc..), and if i had a spare 100mil i would not touch them with a 10 foot pole..

the club is cursed. simple as that..

Well ferk me STT - Looks like someones got a barge pole after all!!!

Good news so far for ya buddy - The Bloke that had the distribution rights for that singing fish on a board - Big Mouth Billy Bass for those xmas sales a few years ago seems to have deep pockets and could bail out the Toon.

BARRY MOAT made his fortune out of a singing fish. Now he is close to talking his way into a £100million buy-out of Newcastle. Big Mouth Billy Bass was one the best sellers when Moat was at the helm of North East company Premier Direct.

Weekend wrap up:

Chelsea v Man U Community shield 2-2. Chelsea win 4-1 on pens. Rooney late equaliser forced the shootout which saw Giggs and Evra fluff shots and hand the Blues the first domestic silverware of the season.

Kops Jamie Carragher and Fernando Torres both limped off with minor ankle injuries in Saturday's 2-1 defeat at home to Atletico Madrid.

SEBASTIEN BASSONG hit all the right notes for his new Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp yesterday. The centre-back, who arrived for an initial £8million last week from Newcastle, shone as Greek champs Olympiacos were slain 3-0 at the Lane

Transfer - Liverpool agree deal £20M for former Roma Midfielder Aquilani. Oddly wont play for at least 4-8 weeks from Ankle surgery though.

Aston Villa have confirmed that they have signed Habib Beye from Newcastle on a three-year deal.

Hull face a fight to keep Michael Turner away from Liverpool, who have been linked with Ryan Shawcross, while Gary Cahill is staying at Bolton.

5 days to go now.

Christ!! :o

I remember that darn singing fish. I know someone who received one as a birthday gift. Needless to say, the novelty wore off after about 2 minutes...

So this bloke is a mate of Mike Ashley's huh? That'll go down well with the locals who've wanted to lynch Ashley for the past 12 months. :lol:

Ah well, another lamb to the slaughter eh? ;)

Cheers for wrap up GG. Chelsea too good on penalties. How was Sir Alex, I heard he nearly blew a gasket on the sidelines!

Better than that pal - penned a 3 year deal!

Todays Wrap:

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is planning to hold talks with Bayern Munich over a £40million deal for Franck Ribery. Can Chelsea persuade Bayern to sell according to the Sun?

Manchester City are ready to make a final offer of £20million-plus for Everton defender Joleon Lescott, although most papers claim Mark Hughes will look to sign West Ham centre-half Matthew Upson.

Hull have signed Stephen Hunt from Reading.

Noticed on Fox Sports last night, Lucas Neill still doesn't have a club. He's got West Hams's offer, but he's weighing up two other offers, one of them is believed to be Kewell's side in Turkey. He's taking his time, will settle his decision within the next week.

Any fellow ManU fans out there with worries about Owen? How he didn't go for a sidestep around the goalie in his last attack was beyond me. He's lost a yard which is expected and the club has been a bit prudent with the wallet but still expected better instinct there in an experienced player.

Makes me ill just thinking it but I reckon Chelsea will be the team to beat this season for the LC.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    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,
