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.

I don't need to watch the game to make this point. It is clear we were terrible for the first 2.5 quarters.

When we lose but play well, you are one of a few people who often post about how the way we play is irrelevant or not important when we lose. It seems, to me, that it is hypocritical to say that when we play poorly but win, the way we played is relevant.

Whatever. Get a life. I won't be celebrating the first half regardless of your feelings

I highly recommend for those that haven't been to Alice to come up and support - it's awesome. On a very personal note - not that anyone knew... nice win for the old man looking on - exactly one year on. Finally. 

Jones was immense 

the negativity that pervades supporters drives me to drink (currently at Montes in Alice again, it's awesome) 

its not about 2017 and yes finals makes me feel good - but they show grit, time and time and time again. From a coaching perspective they make relevant changes where appropriate- 2018 will be a cracker.

oliver is just sublime 

harmes is stepping up 

and remember - no defined ruck and no key forward for structure - glad we lowered our eyes in the second half. Melbourne have done effing well for the past 5 rounds without the services of some athletes that really are crucial to structure and planning. Personally  I commend the coaching staff with all things considered 

Good post. Yeah we've had a few games where we've played like rubbish and seen ourselves 5 goals down - but in every single one of those games we've come back to level terms. We haven't won all the games but we've been in every one so far.

71 inside 50s today :blink:

What about Oliver's handball to ANB that led to Jeff's fourth goal? I thought Dermott was going to go all Bruce+Cyril over it every time he re-watched the footage.

I didn't see the game, but want to add my support to Oscar. 90% of what the kid does is excellent, 10% is horrendous. For a guy who has played 20-odd games, he does a hell of a lot right. With experience and confidence he will cut the errors and be a very good player. I already think he is tracking better than either his brother and Frawley at the same stage of their respective careers.

Nice to see the boys fight back from a poor half and get a decent win. However it is most concerning that they have gone well down in each of the past five games. It would be nice to lead at quarter time occasionally.

We were pathetic in 1st half and had a training run in 2nd half due to gold coast being pathetic. Ĺwe wont beat collwood playing like that and they are a very poor team. Not impressed.

65 point turnaround, 35 point win and you're not impressed? 

Melbourne supporters need psychological counselling package with the membership instead of a scarf next year

Oscar McDonald: 11 x 1% ers. Double anyone else in the team. THAT'S why he's playing. He's ranked 4th in the AFL for average 1%'ers per game.

Does he need to improve other aspects of his game? Absolutely. But stop looking at what he doesn't do, and look instead at what he DOES do. The rest will come.

He was high in that stat when he was dropped after round 3.  If it was that important he wouldn't have been.

We're getting games into him, but it's at the expense of performance and because we have no-one else.

If you're going to focus on the negatives in a win, that's fine, but I don't think it stacks up with ignoring the positives in losses. That's all.

Agree. We've only won 4 first quarters this year (but, by contrast, we've won 7 third quarters).

I do like our resilience, we've fought back from 4+ goal leads a number of times now. But the fact we're doing that is a sign of our inability to play four quarters, consistently struggling early but righting the ship late (sometimes too late).

Tmac is not a forward. We learnt that last week didn't we? Fortunately goody read my post and moved him to the ruck. Took too long to do it. When we get a few back we might just be a team.

We looked better in 2nd half when Tmac went to the ruck and Pedo forward

    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
