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.

Furious with Bugg - cost us the game by missing 4 goals. Kent is soft and turns the ball over. Watts going back to his old ways and can't take a mark. Less said about OMac the better and I wonder if Hunt should have played after that concussion. No point in playing the Weed - at this stage he has NFI.

How about that deliberate out of bounds in the last quarter he paid. Hibbards handpass was partially intercepted for gods sake. 

The non fifty to bugg got me, it was like 4 seconds after and thompson knew he market it he was right there.

Why did they put Oscar back on Brown at the start of the 3/4? Umps made some interesting calls. Jetta & Hibberd were outstanding.

Umpires gave 22 to 10 free kicks in favour of the Roos! Absolutely crucified us! ?

So? 

Cunnington hurt his ankle badly and end up BOG.

Enough with the Watts excuses 

It was a day he should have stood tall and contributed ....somehow....but didn't.  Has been flying under the radar far too often this year.

I would hate to see this lethargy in a finals campaign if we were to ever get there.  A bit like many in the rest of the team, some individuals excluded.

Worst part is ONCE AGAIN riding for an hour home on the train with the hundreds of other dejected demons supporters.

 

Same look, different week.

Fark... Weids just not ready. Oscar the same (hopefully)

I doubt Kent would pass a skin fold test.

Bugg... we needed better.

No key forward. No ruck. 

Strange year. I still feel like we arent too far off. 

Umpires. [censored] you. Worst display I nave seen in years.

Tarrant knew they wouldnt call anything against them and consistantly pushed his opponent out.

Another wasted opportunity. We get exposed when we have a few players off the boil because we are carrying others.

Watts back to the soft player that we used to loathe so badly. Lays half-arsed tackles, stages for frees, doesn't contest marks etc, etc.

A terrible game from him.

I'm so sick of this sh!t. I'm so sick and tired of Goodwin's post match interviews of 'it's not the type of footy we want to play'. It's getting predictable. You're the bloody coach!! You have a whole week to get your team to try. That's all..try! If the players aren't buying into Goodwin then he needs to go. Simple as that. I don't care how early it is or as good as our win against adelaide was. We're not consistently trying! Pathetic.

Also for fellow demonlanders, you guys were calling for Hannan's head but clearly you don't know anything about footy. He needed a string of games to feel at home on an afl ground and this performance was always coming. He played a good game today and would've lost by more without him. 
 

Now for the umpires. Disgusting. That lack of 50m against Bugg was pathetic. Yes, Bugg should've kicked it anyway but it was an absolute buzz kill. I'd like there to be a review into that decision and whichever umpire was in the prxominity to be sent back to country footy until they understand what a 50m penalty is set up for.

Petracca, terrible!! fumble fingers and kicking is sh!t. How long does it take for him to build a tank and play as a midfielder. He shanked the ball so much today. disgusting.  Get some bloody awareness and stop getting chased down from behind. My God!

Oscar McDonald. I seriously can't put up with this guys sh!t for 10 more years. I've already gone through Tom Mcdonalds lack of awareness, disposal and lack of basic human IQ for many years, how can I go through another 10!!!

The club has physio's, specialised coach, psychologists, doctors, motivational speakers etc. at their disposal all week and they put up cr@p like that in the 1st quarter. disgrace. I want to say we 'should be near the top of the ladder' with all of our close losses but what's the point of making finals if we don't even try. These guys get paid to shank the ball for 2 hours and play one-way football. I can't take another calm Goodwin presser.

Season is over.  

Agree  being sick of these loses...

But unfair on Pettracca as its his second season after a knee reco....These young kids need 3-4 years of preseasons to become elite and build their tanks!

Goodwin, very unfair only after 9 games & he's not going to lash at them in a presser!

We really miss having a classy winger with speed, smarts and ball use. 

What I would give for Josh Kelly. 

Also, I have tremendous respect for Cunnington.  What a superb display under a massive injury cloud.  Poise, calm, and execution.

I really enjoy hearing about how we're a developing team (for the last 10 years.....).

That's a little oversimplified I reckon. The real prime movers on the team, the stars that really make it happen, are all super young. Their prime movers are way more mature.

9 mil for 9 years would probably get him to the club...

And the trip on Hunt.....And the Punch in the guts of Vince...A number of incorrect disposals by Norf not payed in front of our goals.

It wasn't just the lop sided ones PAID. It was also the ones that weren't paid. Definitely influenced the result.

The statement was he was very good today. He took NONE of his chances, therefore, his game was pathetic. 

We can get into semantics I suppose. He was very good up until he took a kick at goal, and then he was pathetic. Unlikely as well that his set shots will be so bad week to week if he plays like he did today.

Not having a go, hope you (kinda) get what I mean. I'm as frustrated as anyone, but, yeah.

Happy to single out some individuals, but...

just a glance at the tackling pressure in the 1st and 3rd quarters, against the 2nd quarter in particular, and there is the reason we lost.

I could single individual moments like Bugg's missed chances or Watts' flopping for a free when we were desperate for a contest, but the team wide application was the issue.

Remember when we had bunch of promising first round draft picks few roughies an AA ruckman and false hope?

2011.

Thats what this year is shaping up to be.. Another wasted one. Even Richmond have strung together 5-7 wins in a row in their pathetic decade.. We can't even manage more than three, which has happened maybe twice?? ??

Enough with the Watts excuses 

Firstly I think no Hogan is causing Watts to get a premier defender that has made it a bit more difficult. Secondly, I think a part of it is up the ground. I think I can recall maybe one genuine one-on-one for him in the F50. The other possibility is that the forward set-up just isn't working.

From rounds 7 to 9. The goals are:

Weid: 0 Goals

Watts: 1 Goal

Garlett: 6

Kent: 3

Petracca: 1

Hannan: 4

That's a total of 13 goals from all our forwards in 3 games.

    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
