  • 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.

This is what I call for...at some stage of the game I want to see a line drawn in the sand(dermie style).

what would you think if a melee started?..players fined and potentially suspended..worth it?

Most of the senior blokes would go in with handbags I reckon.

I can just see it now

As soon as the melee starts, Cameron Bruce falls to the ground with a fake injury so he doesnt have to get involved

Nathan Carroll and Brad Miller licks their lips and run in, only to both be flattened by a genuine toughman in Matthew Scarlett

David Neitz, the only man capable of outmuscling anyone from Geelong, hides behind the goalpost in embarrassment as our players get torn to shreds

While in the stands, Demonlands resident clowns, Grand Old Fox and realist, decide to french kiss to pass the time

i really liked what carroll did on the weekend!! jones was genuinally upset after getting tackled and causing a WB goal, and walked back to the centre square trying to keep his chin up and then comes the abuse of the bulldogs midfielders...as soon as carroll saw this, he went to his team mates aid (good practise over summer), but we need more of this

also, i heard that the bulldogs were niggling davey all day and giving him little corkies all day...this is when players need to stick up for their team mates the most.

Thats what Carrol and Brock were doing over summer! They were training!

We were all very harsh on them, and now we want them to show heir wares on the track!

I for one take it all back; Sorry Brock, Sorry Nathan, keep up the good work!

I agree.

Spot on boys, to hell with the politically correct blue blood supporters who want choir boys with hymn books out their. I want to see spirit, passion & hardness! Get rid of bruce, wheatley, green & white.

I want to see the likes of Carroll, McLean, Sylvia, Whelan, Jamar, Neitz, Moloney, P Johnson, Bartram, Pettard, Bode, Martin, in playing real hard nosed footy, we might go down on the scoreboard but we'll draw a line in the sand as far as what is expected our own from now on, as far as the Mighty Dees are concerned.

IT'S TIME TO BRING BACK THE RUTHLESS & RUGGED ATTITUDE OF THE GREAT NORM SMITH & BARASSI'S DAYS.

' then we can have something to build from.

It says alot when you confuse starting a melee as drawing a line in the sand. :rolleyes:

It would seem you have a number of mates who confuse playing competitive hard disciplined football with a melee. Its aggression at the contested ball not the opposition player. Its so basic and fundamental.

Neanderthal thinking at best.

A disaster in the making.

I'd rather see all the players hitting the packs, putting their bodies on the line, running hard to shepherd their teammates, runnign with the flight of the ball,

True hard stuff.

Those acts inspire, not a jumper grab and a wrestle.

    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,

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.
