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.

Anyone saying Bugg was poor today, wow...

Second biggest leap on the ground after Howe.

Can see why he plays forward.

I like Joeboy.  Love this thread.

 

But the Tyson call was absolutely and definitely incorrect.

 

He was a star from start to finish.  He has what a many in our team don't yet:  composure.

 

 

 

 

Look at the replay.  Decision-making A.  Execution A.  Hardness A.  His best ever game of footy IMO.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for the others, Hannan - finds a path (with oily shoulders)

Bugg - Keeps missing chances.

Hey TGR, here's a tip:  You only need to press ENTER once to start a new paragraph.  Not 500 times, just once.  Cheers.

Bugg was good but if his convention rate stays as it is he becomes a turnover killer miss shots at goal are turnovers

I know his conversion has been poor the last few weeks, but he kicked 2.1 today, and the point hit the post. The fact that he is getting so many shots, along with the pressure, the ability to create a contest and his flexibility put him ahead of the others competing for that spot.

Did a great job on Pendlebury and kicked important goal. Watch the game.

Will watch the replay - must say I didn't notice Melksham much but did notice Pendlebury's absence - so if that was Melk's task then he did it well.

So many people here looking for more positive comments.

How would you be viewing it, if Colonwwod had kicked just one more goal?

 

we had 4 more scoring shots. what if they were all goals?  (and they easily could have been, we had 2 posters)

You read me wrong.

 

I am very happy with the result.

My comments are regarding the 3 word analysis.

Hard to be glowing about the entire side, when we won by 4 points.

I agree.

I turned the game off 504 at half time, and attended to other things, as I still dont have the confidence that we will fight back.

There will come a game when the players finally twig to the fact that we are a serious team, and from then on, we will see good times/huge wins like we did in the late 80's

I attended the first 2 finals V Nth, and Sydney, and we annihilated both, in front of massive crowds.

This team has more natural talent, but not the mental strength.

 

Yet......

Tyson - regularly butchered disposals

 

Hunt - was almost outstanding 

 

 

Hunt gained extra metres but the end result was similar to Tysons so I can't agree with your light and day assessment.

Anyway, if we're not criticising too much handball we're criticising the blokes who get it forward at all costs and today was one of those days and as ugly as it was, it was necessary.

I agree. I was at the game but will watch the replay tomorrow. Often have a different opinion about certain players after I have watched the replay but I love them all tonight after beating the Pies today.

My favorite moment of the year.

Magic.

I disgaree. His woeful kicking is a liability, not a big pressure guy either. JKH or Kent would offer more. Bernie is doing the niggle job he could possibly do.

Well. With the team we have at present he is important. He marks better than his height would suggest. Nearly grabbed a couple of beauties today, represented an aerial threat. If our best team can be picked he may not make it

Jones - dynamic and reliable

Viney - struggled to impose

Salem - important second half

Watts - retribution was his

Petracca - fantastic second half

Lewis - disappointingly a liability

Tyson - regularly butchered disposals

Oliver - more kicking please

Hibberd - clever but loose

Frost - continued to impress

Melksham - some important touches

Hannan - was rarely sighted

Pedersen - loved his energy

Vince - not a defender

T.McDonald - last quarter impact 

O.McDonald - gradually became important

Hunt - was almost outstanding 

Neal-Bullen - tried but ineffective 

Bugg - provided important contesting

Garlett - great forward pressure 

Jetta - courageous but loose

Harmes - was rarely noticed

 

On these comments three words...

"Did we Win"?

Hahahahaha, was waiting for the negative on Tyson. He was the ONLY mid making any difference at all in the first half and was very good in the second half. Yes a couple of his kicks didn't end up where hoped but they were quick kicks out of congestion. Glad to see you didn't disappoint with your bias on him!

Negativity on Tyson is becoming pathetic, makes the 3 word analysis irrelevant

    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.
