  • 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.

At least minnows like Italy and Holland will have a chance to show their wares on the world stage.

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

I thought the Spurs strip was ok.

Was stoked to see Cahill re sign for us, means we will hold onto him unleast until janauary :P

Stoked about Cahill I bet. But not with the 6-1 thumping at the hands of the Gunners.

Man U over Birmingham, just 1-0. Yeah, not sure about Owen. Will score a few, but I wonder if he'll be able to hold up for the entire season. I think Chelsea, and the Gunners are off to a flyer. How was Drogba's chip goal. Awesome.

Will be interesting to see how Man City go with all their buys. They look a bit weak down back at the moment.

Update -

Fulham have lost Andy Johnson for 2 months - dislocated collarbone.

Hull will pay £4M for David Nugent from Pompey - deal should go through.

Everton spanked Sigma in the Europa league last night 4-0. Lescott didnt play due to Moyes Attitude adjustment. I reckon City have thier man......

Villa however lost 1-0 to Rapid Vienna in the Europa tie.

Pompey in talks to sign Bolton duo Danny Shittu and Gavin Mcann. I shiitu you not!

Ashley Cole signed 4 year deal to remain a Blue Boy. What he does with Mobile phones is none of my business....

As for Man U my friends - Michael Owen dead set couldnt slot a greasy stick up a pigs ar$e. I told you that upon transfer.

Now just wait for the injury - that's next.

West Ham 1 - 2 Tottenham

Lennon's left foot!

Saw that goal last night. Great goal threaded between about 3-4 defenders. The pass to him on the lead wasn't that good, but his touch was deft and he created the goal out of nothing. Weak defence all the same.

Go you Gooners. Quiet achievers, the way i like it.

:lol:

Compared to Man U & those Gutter Crawlers Chelsea, yes we are.

Arsenal will be right up there this year. Still a club owned by its members.

You're kidding yourself...what has the Gunners quietly achieved lately? Man U & Chelsea have left Arsenal in their wake the last few years.

Liverpool looking most vunerable of the big 4 already. Far too reliant on Torres and Stevie G.

Chelsea far from impressive so far but still look unstoppable in the same sentence. Go Blues!

Gooners classy but there will be a time they are vunerable with lack of depth, smart man in charge will remain top 4.

City - bubble will burst mark my words.

Pompey finally taken over by Oily Arab.

UEFA president Michel Platini is bringing in FIVE referees at every game to stop diving cheats like Eduardo. Additionaly to that - Top Ref Mark Halsey has been diagnosed with Cancerand will undergo treatment.

UEFA CL Group draw was done last night. all 4 avoided each other.

Transfer:

Lescott gone to City and rightly so. Scar face is over rated. Top 4 my Ar$e

Aston Villa have completed the signing of Stephen Warnock from Blackburn Rovers.

Blackburn Rovers have completed the signing of Pascal Chimbonda on a two-year contract from Tottenham Hotspur for an undisclosed fee.

Fulham have completed the signing of South African international Kagisho Dikgacoi.

Thats all for now - GG

    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,
