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.

A number of commentators were calling Melbourne's win over Adelaide "season-defining" and I wish that were true but the reality is that our season to date has been defined by other things, such as inj

If we win we'll be 6th (if Carlton win) or 7th (if Freo win) above Tigers, Dogs and Saints. Get it done and get it done early Demons, don't disappoint.

I'm sick to death of being beaten year after year by the whinging Scott brother's marsupials.  Time to put another hoodoo to bed.  Make 'roadkill' of 'em Dees!

10 frees to 22.

they got 220% of the frees that we got. I hope Nicholls has a backup career as it is only a matter of time until he gets the sack for the putrid job he does

Without the histrionics....

Weid MUST go back to Casey. Oscar Mc as well.

We need our best footballers in. No more games on potential. 

That game was there for the taking. They had lead in their legs and we pizzed it away.

I think the club should petition the AFL to not have Nicholls ever umpire a Melbourne game again. I am not one to usually lay blame on the umpires, but Nicholls cost us the game today. No doubt.

Lewis pretty average today also....[censored] weak effort Demons....losing the match in the first quarter then trying to make a game of it after.  So predictable when a win was in the offing and going in as favorites. Had a chance for finals and blew it

Bugg should never play for Melbourne again. Wasted so many good build ups. 

He flubbed stuff, at least he had the opportunity to do that. Kent is the worry for mine.

I don't know about never play again. But Bugg should remain at Casey as a depth player, and only be called on if we really need him. There is no position for Bugg in this side. He isn't a great kick, and he cannot break into the midfield. I think both Bugg and Melksham should remain in the VFL. They may look above the VFL, but they aren't good AFL players.

Our kids try. 

But they don't have enough leadership on the field. 

I appreciate all of Watts hard work when the rucks went down. But hes not tough enough. Weid is just a kid. Hannan will be good. 

Very disappointing. No one flew the flag

This type of umpiring happens every time Nicholls is umpiring our matches. I hope we request him to no longer umpire our matches. Bias [censored] who puts every 50/50 call against us. His been doing it for a while

Garry Lyon said "Melbourne get too comfortable, and only turn up when they are confronted with a challenge".

I agreed with it then, and even more so now.

Twice today, we meekly coughed up a 4 goal lead, got a rocket, and responded. And ultimately couldn't overcome the lead we allowed North to take.

But you know we will. . Thought the targeting of Higgins was part of the problem in the 1st. Lost a bit of focus and in the end did not unsettle Higgins enough. although I think he kicked 4 points.

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
