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.

The commentary team love him, so he can do no wrong.

Personally I think he is discreetly dirty and is not the unbeatable player everyimakes him out to be.

He is a dog of a player, without doubt good decision making, his ability to read play and leave his man annoys the bejeezus out of me because it's good. But I am confounded by the love he gets from the media for all his dog acts. Even when Viney squared up to him he took a dive, right after being a dog. On 360 Lewis looked like he was biting his tongue, Jack has to back his team mate but Lewis was not into that segment. @Wells 11 Prance (love it) = Prancer

Rance is a deadset piece of sh*t of a bloke and possibly the most overrated footballer in my lifetime. He can't defend man on man, lays less than 2 tackles a game on average because he runs away from a contest, he drops uncontested chest marks, and is a complete dog.
His coward punch to Watts in the back of the head while he was laying prone and defenceless is one of the worst things I can remember seeing on the footy field. That disgusting act was straight up assault, and wouldn't be tolerated in civilised society, yet the commentators brushed it off saying "he's just frustrated" like that somehow excuses it! 
He's now been fined twice for staging in the past 12 months, and continues to leap like Superman out of any contest he finds himself in because despite his Hollywood muscles he's weak as [censored] and can't wrestle his way out of a paper bag. 

The love affair the media and commentators have with him is mind-blowing. I hope he cops more flack for diving again this week. His reputation deserves to be tarnished further and resemble the piece of sh*t he is.

Doesn't mind putting the knee in in the air either. Pretty sure it was Prance that broke Bulls ribs last year when he was uncovered and I've seen him do it plenty of other times as well. He is the player I detest the most in the AFL, nothing worse than a God botherer that's a hypocrite.

Twas nothing though compared to buggs actions last year. Rance stages dives but hes not alone. Hes certainly not dirtiest player around....... Not by a mile.

He is a quality player with a few flaws. The level of vitriol here imho is out of proportion.

I understand this has nothing to do with Demons but it is to do with the health of the game.

Rance performed one of his most blatantly absurd and bulldusty dives on the weekend, was rewarded with a free kick and today his coach comes out and says there is nothing wrong with the way this soap star in his own lunchtime plays the game. He then criticised those who have raised their voices  about this serial offender's antics. What annoys me is that even those who criticise this so called 'legend' almost apologise that they can fault Rance because he is a 'great' player, after all.

Rance's claim to  great player status is totally immaterial to the discussion about his flagrant and continued breaches not only of the spirit of the game but the basic laws of the game. In other words, he's a bloody cheat who deserves to be called out for his cheating and his total disrespect for  the game. He plays like someone who feels he is entitled. In other words, he plays like a kid who has never grown up, who is entrapped by his own sense of privilege and vanity.

Rance's punching of the back of Jack Watt's head whilst Jack was laying face down on the ground tells us everything we need to know about Alex Rance's character. Great player sure, but plenty of personal flaws. Diving and gutless sniping just two of them.

I never liked Rance, and would never want him at Melbourne, no matter what or how good he may be.

And this is the reason I never liked his footy. and him.

 

A hypocrite, who is full of shyter, taking dives like the biggest politicians of our time, he is amongst the world champs of shyte.

 

 I'd rather have 1 Viney, than 15 Rance's.

His teammate number 32 wasn't in any rush to help out... ??

If I remember correctly, none of them were. They just came over after Viney decked him twice and pushed him away

Just a quick reminder...

Viney - 178cm, 87kg

Rance - 194cm, 94kg

Viney ragdolled him, even when Rance tried to wrestle back.

Rance is a good footballer who also happens to be an egotistical, sniping, posing princess.

Send Jack straight to him for the first 5 minutes the next time we play Richmond to get inside his head. (Or Tim Smith if he's playing).

But his so called reflection after the game was absurd. "Thats not what we are about."

But you just did it.

He is also the pr!ck that punctured Tim Smiths lungs with unnecessary knees to the back in a ‘marking tcontest’.

If true I will retract  my previous defense.

Typical shallow analysis.

You clearly didn't bother going and finding the article I mentioned, so here it is: https://www.playersvoice.com.au/tom-bugg-im-not-who-you-think-i-am/#373wIODgRMwQ9ZXp.97

Oh the irony.

I knew exactly what you were referencing.

I simply chose to discuss  his first response. 

Hate to try my clients against someone like you.  Trip finger judgement. Did someone say shallow?

I want Tim Smith back in the side, for the next game against the Tigers. That really lousy knee was typical of the hypocrite.

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    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.
