  • 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.

Yeah mate you should take a photo and send it into Ralph or FHM. I remember they used to pay cash for gross pictures, I'm pretty sure that'd qualify. Turn your injury into profit :D

Tried to take a photo, cramped and fell over... :lol:

Blisters have shown no improvement thus far, today will be spent on the couch!

Just wanted to say it was a pleasure coaching the team. Every member worked his butt off for the colours and I'm really proud of you and the terrific sporting spirit in which the game was played. Thanks to Rollo and melbournefc and to everyone who helped out and gave their support including Redleg, imtoohot's father, GOTO, Tim, David and marfa and the others whose names I didn't quite catch. I'm sure everyone slept well last night after the experience.

It's been a while since I've coached and I can't remember doing it in 31 degree heat but we got a real appreciation of what must be involved in rotations because we tried to keep them coming as regularly as possible to ensure we'd have fresh legs at the end of the game. Unfortunately, our timing was a bit off because we had it all meticulously planned for a 20 minute final quarter and they kicked the winning goal at the 24 minute mark. That's football, I guess!

The Martin Heppell medal for our BOG went to imtoohot and I'd particularly like to commend the half a dozen or so players who tagged # 15. I think we managed to blunt his influence reasonably well after the first quarter.

We now have an enormous challenge to regain the Big Carl Cup and to sing it's a Grand Old Flag at the end of the game.

Hopefully, someone can get on to the Saintsational site to thank them for the game and congratulate them again formally on their win and for providing the four blokes who helped us out. They were great!

Cheers to everyone involved in organising this, despite the heat and the loss it was a great day even though I can barely walk today!

I've got some photos from the game that I might post at a later stage if there any good (haven't had a chance to look over them yet).

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to apologise for both Premiers 08 and my absence.

Premiers08 sent through a message as soon as we learnt that we would not be able to attend. Sad to hear there wasn't many on the bench.

We were pretty shattered, one because of the family issue that needed our attending but more importantly that we were pumped the morning of any were having a practice kick.

We will 100% be there next time to help out the boys.

To only loose by 4 points means that you all gave it your best.

Well done and Carn the Demons!!!!!!

Yup agree with you both, when I think WJ or Rollo said that i'm like WTF!?

That was my fault. I suggested singing the song. I will just say that the boys really fought it out in very trying conditions and all of Demonland/ology should be proud of them for having a real dip. Well done guys.

When is the next planned match? I might pull on a jumper. Only 18 so might get thrown around a bit but I'm reasonably quick. I was, however, knocked out in my last football match.

Honestly mate I wouldn't have said size mattered that much. imtoohot, who pretty much dominated in the middle for us, is less than 6ft and skinny, but he had plenty of pace and fitness which most of us could only dream about, and good skills to boot. I think fitness is the main thing (which I am sadly lacking), but having said that anybody, fit or unfit, big or small, talented or a [censored], can play, so you should come down next time. I'd never played footy before, and I know there were a couple of other guys there who hadn't played much either(our inspirational captain had only played one game before I think - the last Saintsational vs Demonland/ology game; you wouldn't know it though :P). The game wasn't too physical; the turf was rock hard so people pretty much avoided diving all over it. You'd be doing bloody well to get yourself KO'd again ;)

Not as bad as I thought.

Calves are a bit sore, just glad I didn't wear boots, otherwise I wouldn't be able to walk! Green bruise near my knee that might be a contender for pic of the day.

Got to walk about 3km at mine site today, that should be good test!

    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
