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.


GAMEDAY - Round 10



Recommended Posts

Please don't let Dom Tyson speak. Number 1 in the league for trailing his player to the ball.

This performance is a true embarrassment after the intensity we proved we could play with against the Crow for 4 quarters 2 weeks ago.

Lewis is playing like the shadow of what he was. I would prefer him to play on the line and get outed 3 times a year than the rubbish he is displaying currently.

How Bugg got a game again is beyond me.

Not many can hold their head high so far but as we are now half decent we are still a sniff. Doubt any of them can bother to pull their finger out to actually win it.

That is our forte, chasing and then losing. No one is better.

All of that possession for a 4 goal half.

A team of [censored].

I'd love to know the possession to scoring ratio. We would have to be the worst offenders in the league. So much midfield domination which achieves absolutely nothing without score conversion.

Why has Goodwin and now Tyson said we're playing well and it's evenly poised? They look very dangerous off half back and given our insipid performance into the wind in the first quarter, I'm not sure there's much upside.

Whats wrong with Watts? Has done nothing...... like last week He is our second biggest and fifth experienced. He plays the occasional blinder but they seem far and few between. I thought he would keep getting better. 

 

Has taken ONE mark.

Jordan Lewis' skill execution this year has been nothing short of absolutely atrocious.

I watched against the Saints at Etihad and thought his kicking was almost sublime. It's hard to believe that skill has completely disappeared.

Need to stop this extra players at the bounce bs. Can't get genuine one on ones in the forwards. No skill in the forward line apart from Watts who looks fatigued as hell. Just an ordinary team with an ordinary coach.

Tom McDonald unbelievably bad. 3 marks with in 55m for a return of a handball to someones foot, a lob to Hannan vs May when within range and just a pathetic shot at goal.  All while the superstar Leslie takes 5 intercept marks in a half.

Jordan Lewis, refuses to chase, maybe it would be acceptable if he could actually hit a target.

Forward line is a joke, bunch of plodders who you have no confidence with when kicking for goal (ANB, Bugg, Harmes).

Watts leading well in the first quarter and dropping everything. 

Frost is always pathetic in the first 10 minutes of games, needs a new routine.

This club is just disgusting.  Year after year they talk a lot and then expect their supporters to suck it up!  Essendons young kids developing quicker than ours, Gold Coast are 16th and yet we serve up this garbage!  This is crunch time for this club.  Bye next week then the pies!  Crowd will be lousy if we lose this one.

This is like watching the old Dandenong Redlegs in the VFA

This Alice springs thing is ridiculous. Pre-season sure, but playing an interstate side away from the G as a home game is just amateur stuff. We are nomads and nomads without a connection to home. Are we Casey? Or Melbourne or Junction oval St kilda? 

We play like a team without a soul. Because we're a club without a soul. Our soul and identity should be the MCG and only the MCG

What an absolute disgrace. We have the dumbest players in the league. Bugg is a waste and oscar stands outside the boundry line thinking he is in play. The whole side make me sick at the momment.

I don't think laziness is the issue in regards to cracking in and getting the ball.

It's just dumb football that is our undoing as well as laziness in regards to disposal (personified by Tom McDonald and that woeful handball in the first quarter).

To say we needed that goal from Garlett is an understatement, it keeps the margin manageable but it sounds like GC are playing footy while our players are going through a training run. Not interested was the comment from one of the ABC commentators. 

I think they set themselves to be down by a bit at quarter time and assumed the second quarter would be all Melbourne with the breeze, someone forgot to tell them you still have to work for it!

i laughed at everybody heralding TMac as a forward after Adelaide, he can swing there every now and then but he is a defender. There have been a lot of poor turnovers from senior players, Lewis sounds as though he's been the worst offender. He needs to stand up. The talls from GC are really top but it comes from midfield dominance, we had plenty of uncontested possession in the first quarter but did nothing with it. That has to change. 

17 points can be realed in but it starts with commitment and ends with execution. Doesn't sound like we have either.

Who's dumber Oscar calling for the ball when out of bounds or Melksham passing to him. 

Both....the MFC is the best at procuring dumb footballers who continually [censored] up and turn the ball over to the opponent on a platter

    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
