    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.

Q: “Did you know Tom McDonald could go forward and actually kick goals?” BERNIE: “Well, the goals he kicked were floaters and that’s actually all he kicks, so I’m not sure how they floated through.

Neville Jetta. Kept Eddie Betts to just two goals and nine touches. I'm still convinced he'd be talked up as an All Australian if he played for Hawthorn or Geelong.

That's another huge win without Hogan in the team.

First Geelong at Geelong, then Hawks at the G coming off 9 straight wins, now Crows in Adelaide.

 

I firmly believe that we are a better team with Hogan in the side, but clearly we should be doing things differently when he is. What should we do about this little conundrum?

worst 74 hit out game ever....... ??...is there such a thing - won the taps haven't seen the stats but surely we smashed the clearances.. and smashed him around the ground. 

Hit outs were 76-29 but clearances were 38-49 and centre clearances an utterly incredible 6-18.

Have been out at a birthday party and thought i had drunk too much when looking at scores. Assuming We must have corrected our insane handballing and kicked more tonight. Our winning games have seen a ratio of about 1.30 so far. Tonight?

Was pretty much 1 to 1 ratio wise, a few more kicks than handballs

Hogan needs to change the way he plays (less calling for ball on his head) and Melbourne need to stop always looking for him as the first option.

I love the umpires tonight well for part of it anyway!!

in the third qrt we held two crows players while they didn't have the ball in their f50 and no free kick was called and then it goes down to our f50 and Garlett gets thrown around and is paid the free kick and goals. 

Priceless. 

I did have a chuckle to myself about that.

Mixed feelings on this win,  will mean nothing if we lose next week, we are still playing one bad qtr every game, also we were down by 26 points in 2nd quarter before we got our game going, this has to change if we are to make finals. Second week in a row we lost hit outs badly but still won the clearances, we would be top 4 if max was playing

Jayden is on SEN right now chatting to the 'Gladiators'. Sounds confident he'll play next week.

 

Great to hear that he is sounding ok.

Brave kamakazee type.

Inspirational.

I suspect however that he will be "cautiously managed".

Most will have absolutely nothing negative to say about tonight - and then DLand kept crashing after the win and delivered us something to complain about!

The perfect evening.

Reading through the Matchday thread is pretty funny....from about page 10 to 17.......and then along came Bugg..

Hopefully Hogan, and the team, will learn that Jesse is part of the team, part of the forward line and though I think we all agree that we are (at least potentially) better with him, he needs to be more team focused. 

What ishis tackle count per game this year?

2 on 1 contests.

Even in the recent past, we would have both players attempt to tackle a lone opponent. It looked like the objective was to force a stoppage.

Tonight, one of our players would peel off in the belief that his teammate would win the contest and handball.

Did anyone else notice this?

Having not seen the game other than the highlights, this is really pleasing to read.

Against much better opposition than last week, we've learned a couple of really important lessons.

You'll enjoy the replay :)

Melbourne on the rebound after last weeks loss will be a difficult proposition for Adelaide...

Well there you have it...

We've been conditioned to be worried about other teams on the rebound against us.

Maybe it's time to realise we are good enough to beat anyone on a given day.

I said the the Game day thread that Bugg would probably get a ton of the ball but cost us about 3 goals from turnovers. I reckon I ended up about -6 in my predictions there...

    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,

    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
