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.

Frustrating that in all his time off and over the pre-season, Bugg is still a shocking kick for goal.

Good first half, we've been cleaner and it's shown. I actually feel like Brisbane got on top of us with winning the ball and didn't allow us as many clean possessions but they just don't have the finishing skills to make us pay. If we blitz them early in the 3rd quarter than it could be game over and we can cruise home.

Hogan and Garlett have been very good today and Bugg should've made the most of Hogan's hard work.

Brisbane remind me of the first year Roos MFC team. No question of endeavour, just ball slaughter after error after cockup, and suddenly you are miles behind when you haven't even been that bad really. 

Wait for the confidence drop to come next. We really, really need to bury them.

True Steve, it was poor.

I must admit that I didn't see you posting when one his kicks hit ANB lace out for a goal.  

Swings and roundabouts I guess, eh?

I also haven’t commented on any of the other shocking kicks he’s made so far this game under no pressure.

So obviously I have no care if he hits one or two.

They shouldn't have to learn on game day. They should be learning at training or at Casey. It isn't good enough at this level. Tyson's kicking, turnovers and lack of awareness hurt us as a side too often. Bugg just plain and simply is a sh*t kick.

Tyson wants to go backward at every opportunity. He was out in the middle of the ground and his first instinct was to give a 2 Metre handle back to Jones who wasn't expecting it and we miffed the chance . Horrendous. That said, he is providing more than Maynard. Harmes way off the pace at the moment

Whatever floats your boat, Steve.  Outside of one I can think of, and that turnover, he's been pretty good.

Tyson hit someone (ANB I think) lace out off two steps from the boundary line which resulted in a goal. How much better do you want him to get?

Bugg's goal kicking is 100% mental.

Couldn’t agree more. I love what Bugg brings and Tyson can be brilliant too but thier kicking will preven then from ever being exceptional

As Clint mentioned Wagner, Bugg (both of whom I don't rate) & Harmes clear bottom three. Hunt quiet but has credits with me as I'm a huge fan. The rest have been good. Hopefully two consistent quarters to come. 

Funny, I am starting to warm to Wagner, yep the odd error, but I think he's getting a few consecutive games to get his head around it. Bugg  presents really well and hassles (and I can forgive that miss, because every other player has also missed that kick) and Harmess, well, he can take a mark, I don't think he has too much of an ego, and is better than 'serviceable'... theyll come on in the second half (but then I guess they're just down hill skiiers)?? Agreed, let's hope the consistency comes for the second half.

You bought up a pile of cheats, not me

See you have moved from Oscar last year to Tyson this year.. lol..

First game for this year and Tyson has been quite handy. Showing why he showed have been in the side last week instead of Maynard. You'll get the odd error from him, like Jones, like Viney, and like Petracca.. but he has a touch of class about him too which when on song, can be quite a dominant midfielder.

    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.
