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.

Rounds 3 (Geelong), 4 (Freo) and 5 (Richmond)

 

Richmond beat us last year, because we ran out of legs in the last.  Do you really think Jordan was going to help with that?  Blind Freddy could have seen we were down 2 players at 3/4 time and we were cactus.  The best bet in 2017, was backing Richmond at 3/4 time against us.  We were clearly a better team that night, but 21 v 19 found us out.

The difference, though, is that the Bulldogs already had some excellent "ageing leaders" in Bob Murphy, Matthew Boyd and Dale Morris. Apart from our two imports (Lewis and Vince) we've had just Jones.  Similarly, perhaps they're not as aged, but the Tigers had real leaders in Cotchin, Rance and Reiwoldt. 

I don't think they needed Bob Murphy during their September tilt, and I think Boyd/Morris = Jones/Vince.

Don't keep digging.  And who here rated Cotchin, Rance and Riewoldt before 2017.

 

 

Lewis to Melbourne made me vomit then, and makes me vomit now.  The MFC post-Neeld has always been over-stocked with one-paced mids.  If we really wanted to play finals footy, you target what you don't have enough of; and that was quick line-breakers.  To be honest, if you want to pay superannuation to a player, I would have preferred the club had a go at Boomer Harvey; because at least it would have shown me that the club really knew what it had and didn't have.  And if you lot are happy with a +1 racking up easy ball, then you really have no idea.

Q. Is he an automatic inclusion when he has healed?

A. I'm not sure he is on this year's form.

Wish him well, but the timing for him isn't great. May need to go vis Casey to get back into the squad.

You probably have Jordie posters in the your bedroom.  Get ready for constellation of blue-tac mummy.

 

 

Not as many as you'd  have of your 'greatest coach of the modern era' Terry Wallet.Or perhaps your Nobel Prize nominee Derryn Hinch. Laughable. Credibility  below zero.

Everyone seems to be hanging their hat of this guy. Came to the club to crawl over the line to the 300 game mark and some retirement fund coin. Harsh?maybe, reality? No doubt.

I have read a few of your posts and you have a very poor understanding of football or you are simply trolling.

Hunt is the only player keeping Hunt out of the team. He was dropped.

So I can further enhance my knowledge Jmac could you please enlighten me on the your understanding of Football since I'm a clueless troll. 

I would love to hear you take. I'm not on here to cause conflict with other users, I have my views rightly or wrongly they are my views, let me know what you think is wrong so I can go over it and follow the coaches lead.

By my understanding, You thought Hunt was his own worst Enemy? fair enough. 

Do you think he will be back for Tuesday Night? I Think he will be, Do you know why Jmac? because he brings something to our side that we don't have much of and that's Lightning Pace and Dare the x factor. 

Yes his kicking is a bit iffy at times it's not his strength, but he will run and carry , break lines, create over lap, run down players(not watch them run by) and yes even tackle.

You obviously don't rate one of our many weaknesses Pace, you would rather a team of plodders that lack x factor.

Drop some knowledge on me coach

P.s yours Trolly.

Chances are he will be back because he was BOG against Werribee. Exactly why he was dropped. To go back and find form. Its not rocket science but you clearly prefer conspiracy theories.

I worry about this point. Why is it that we (as supporters) seem to fall back on this excuse yet we can't beat teams in an identical situation. Last weekend Hawthorn were two down on the bench from around half time and it didn't seem to tire them; in another game (was it last year? year before?) against GWS they were, I think, three down on the bench and still won.

Yes when you look at it we had 11 of last weeks side who had played less than 50 games at the start of this year. Our number of games include Jones (240) Lewis ( 285) and Bernie (210) . Gartlett is next and then Bugg(ar)

Experience is needed and may not be really evident if you are not actually in the jungle.

For those supporters that critique the kicking skills of Hunt (and Viney); thank Jesus that they weren't Richmond's Chairman of Selectors in 2017.  Guess what?  The premiership team had the worst kicking efficiency in the AFL in 2017.

Give me Hunt with his speed and line-breaking ability, who may miss the odd target; over concrete legs, who gets relatively easy ball as a +1 and goes the safe option short and sideways.

I agree with you 100% TGR, I've been spewing they dropped Hunty, only player with run and dare.

    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
