  • 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.

are we delusional?

Every article I read about Judd always has a small paragraph stating something like, the Demons are still in the mix and 'they think they can get him' or ' they really believe they have a shot'. Derogatory stuff basically saying we're dreaming if we think he's going to go to us, all these articles end up saying he will go to eddiewood or the boos. I want to know why the media continue to laugh and not take us seriously. We need to, as a team and as supporters try to turn this demeaning attitude around because I for one am bloody sick of it. :angry:

I agree with the last sentence.

To answer the question in the just look at our history over the last 43 years and you'll discover why so few take us seriously.

That said, how are they different from around half of the posters here who don't rate us as any chance?

Thats because for some of us our whole lives have been watching melbourne just go, hardly ever really challenge, i mean in 2000 we made the GF but realistically essendon where the best team by a mile.

We don't expect as much due to we have not delivered in 43 years, nor really pushed it either.

Amen to that......

But there is a fine line between stating the disappointing truth about our current station in life and being completely disrespectful.

And I would think that the media down there are treading close to the latter, and that should never have to be tolerated.

And depite the fact we are all well aware of what we need to do it is poor form no matter what our history is :rolleyes: !!!

Yeah, but that makes them the fighting underdogs of the competition......

You know the backs against the wall, come out swinging, fight against the odds team. You know the "Shinboner" spirit. Sorry!!

We are just...... Melbourne :rolleyes: !!!

This all goes way back to discussions here and old board about the need for the club to promote the club....not in some namby pamby ...nicey nicey way... but with real teeth.. something...strong.. ...almost a little 'dark'.( tongue in cheek fashion ) ...something DEMONIC !!

Exactly right, we won't be respected proply until we hold up a premiship cup:wub:

Now people might Kanga's have played like crap past couple of years (excluding this one) but they have still had a cup in their hands alot more times than us in the past 43 years.

It is the sad reality of the outsiders perceptions.......

And it is definitely something that we as a club both inside and out need to change.

Although I don't expect it to happen with any immediate effect.

Peoples perception, right or wrong, are always hard to alter.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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

    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
