Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.

Yep and dya know what there is no immediate antidote!

Its like we have a cancer that can't be fixed right now , but in twenty years or so a "Miracle" cure will be found!

There is only one problem

By that time the patient will be dead!

After following for this club for a lifetime After today gee I sat at the "G" and a seagull pooped on me!

Can it get any worse??

Be thankful cows don't fly

If Viney doesn't improve offensively he will be at risk of becoming Mckenzie 2.0

Well interesting,

I reckon Jack Viney has one card, Throw himself at the ball and win it then????

Lacks Pace

Lacks Penetration in kicking and accuracy

Lacks tricks.

I hate to say it but I tend to agree!

Our best can still beat 14 other sides. Our worst will see us lose to 17 teams. Nothing has changed since last week on that front.

I fear for membership next year though and it's unlikely we'll be able to attract many (if any) decent recruits. On the back of the last two weeks, I worry it's completely shattered our otherwise promising chances of landing a few decent players.

Can it though? Is it not possible that all our upset wins this year were more a case of the opposition not showing up?

Can you honestly say that Geelong, Collingwood, Bulldogs and Richmond all threw their best at us when we got wins against them? We lambasted DeGoey for explaining away their loss against us from teammates "just expecting to win," but maybe he wasn't far off the truth.

I was genuinely impressed by our win against the Gold Coast and thought the corner had been turned. Then they ended up spending most of the year in 16th and the reality sunk in.

Well I predict r23 melbourne v gws will be a world record for the lowest crowd ever at a game. 1:10 fathers day. We will be coming off a thrashing from freo Im assuming. People won't want to sit through another potential match we may lose. Im guessing some will boycott it.

People should also boycott the b&f. Show the team they dont deserve our applause at the moment. Harsh, but players will stand up there and say all the nice heart warming stuff that they want us to hear. Im sick of the talk. I want results.

It's increasingly obvious we have barely improved; rather, other teams just got substantially worse for extenuating circumstances. Brisbane and Gold Coast's awful injury lists and Essendon's WADA capitulation.

Ironically enough, the only list I consider genuinely worse than ours (and appropriately places lower than us on the ladder) is Carlton, so naturally they destroyed us today. Go [censored] figure. Even the Saints have well and truly lapped us after last year's wooden spoon and now sit comfortably above us on percentage.

Oh but you are so wrong. We have demonstrably improved according to some delusional people on here........

You could tell exactly what was going to happen when the weak, heartless, clumsy imbecile named Garland tackled his man as the ball approached a contest , gifting Walker his first goal n the first 30 seconds of the game. Straight downhill from there. Real club stalwart and inspirational leader he is, just sets the tone with his failure every week for the last 2 years. Genuine poster boy for the shattered pizzweak culture that has destroyed this club for the last decade. Leave please.

Preceded by Carlton waltzing the ball out of the centre with zero pressure... you are right, you could tell immediately we were going to lose.

Daniel Cross cannot kick for [censored]. His useless 'switch' kicks that missed targets by 20 metres and led to turnovers and goals were a disgrace. Could grimes fall over anymore? We do we constantly run at the opposition player and they think they will break tackles (think Harmes lad quarter). Tom McDonald is the slowest thinker. Undoes his goo work with slow predictable decision making.

You had me until the Mcdonald comment..

His disposal and decision making was awful. I am yet to see these 'star like qaulities' in mcdonald.

I didn't think it was awful today. Yes that's the area that's holding him back, but he can win plenty of the ball, play at either end or the ruck and run all day. He can will himself to contests when the game's on the line and take marks. He will be a match winner eventually

JRS, You were going well until you got to this.

Newton is a nice looking left-foot kick and seems to be able to rove packs better than some of our guys, but to suggest he provides outside run is laughable.

Today he became the first player in AFL history to be chased down by Watson (members wing), despite the fact that he had a 10m start on him.

If he could find a few extra yards toe, he'd be an AFL player each week.

If we could find a sprints coach of repute, then we'd be a chance to make some ground up quickly.

But neither is going to happen while Missen is in charge.

Ok, I didn't mean to imply he's a greyhound, but he can find space, get it forward and can be a threat around goals. He's clearly a decent footballer who fills a position in our side that we need but has been held back (in favour of some less talented players)

Lamumba went off early in second quarter and was treated for an ankle injury and then subbed off just before half time. Don't distort the truth to serve your end.

Yeah you're right. He didn't get much of a chance to add to his 10 disposals against the dogs and his 7 disposals against North. But hey, the ball wasn't down in our fwd line much in those two games.........oh, hang on a minute.....

He goes well with Garland's 7, 13 and 9 disposals the last 3 weeks. These are our senior leaders and key defenders. No wonder were stuffed. The can't defend and they cant get the ball.

Not sure why either of them are there really..

I've put the cue in the rack - not wasting my time watching the next 2 games. I'll only become interested again to see who we delist and draft. Less likely to attract any decent players with these performances. Hope we can get some onfield mongrel types / leaders that play like Hodge, Fyfe, Sloan and J. Selwood - to replace the insipid leaders we have.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
