Posting Unsubstantiated Rumours on this Website is Strictly Forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    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 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.

Schuey pushes guy in back after ball goes out, he goes to ground. Gets up and bumps Scuey in back, he goes to ground. Free kick Schuey. What a joke... 

Ridiculous.  And not even the weak excuse that the ball was in play in one case and not the other case. But not unusual - umps hardly ever pay a free for a push in the back after the ball goes over the line, even though the player is pushed towards the fence.  You have to hit the fence hard to get a free.     AFL umpiring is a disgrace.

This game decided in First Quarter by the umpires, how strange, and by NOT paying free kicks to West Coast, who were incidentally playing drivel football.Never has a football code required an umpiring overhaul like ours. If we don't it is going to cause a riot soon.....

How on Earth did we beat Essendon? They're exactly the kind of fast-running team we'd lose by 60 to.

that's why we need speed.

Don't know if many have heard,,, speed kills.

Endurance is all good, but speed cracks things open.

Was only a matter of time before the Eagles bubble burst.    I have had them missing the finals in a few ladder predictor simulations.

Worst 10-1 team of all time.

North of 2016 up there as well.

Worst umpiring I have seen in a long time. Needs to be looked into. 

If you believe a Gil run body will look into integrity you must believe in Mr Claus and that rabbit who is featured around Easter time. 

On the other hand if it somehow effects their coffers as a result of the game becoming less attractive to watch then he will be into it.

Certain Clubs are allowed to do things, by Umpires, that others are not.

What i've noticed in the last two weeks are mainly centred around playing on, time allowed on marks,cribbing on marks, tonight in particular it was high tackles not paid to WC, especially in first quarter, along with shepherding favouring only one side.........

Which was more than made up for by the umpires giving them a free ride and doing everything they could to get West Coast the win.

Pretenders.

Everyone knew before the game that Kennedy and Darling were out yet they still tipped them. West Coast, like Melbourne continue to get ahead of themselves. Richmond and the Bulldogs in their respective years won the flag without having the best list of that season. Mindset is so important yet it seems many struggle with the concept.

Its great when we have blokes like Bellchambers hitting blokes like Nik Nat thirty metres off the play and getting fined two thousand slap on the wrist. Reminded me a lot of Hogan incident, but then they wanted to make him to look like a stager, didn't they. Apparently only one shot suitable enough for TV, probably just a rabbit cut.....

You could make a reasonable case that Gold Coast are the most insipid professional sports team in Australia. They may as well rename themselves BYE.

Jeremy Cameron is gonna go for at least  4-6 weeks for a shocking elbow on Brisbane’s Harris Andrews. One of the worst I’ve ever seen.

As bad if not worse than bugg minimum 6 weeks or AFL are not serious

They're not serious. Should go for 6 minimum and his record is very poor. But, you know, GWS is still that project that must succeed. Bring in some bullshite biomechanic and Harris Andrews may find that he's suspended for headbutting Cameron's elbow.

I have no faith in the impartiality of the competition.

    DEE-RUBBING by George on the Outer

    For the second week in a row, the Demons had to endure some particularly oppressive match conditions — this time, playing in 30 degree temperatures at the MCG, following the humid sticky Sydney atmosphere of last week.   The warmer conditions didn’t seem to worry the Dee’s since the ball was so much easier to handle, and handle it with surety they did in handing out a 45 point drubbing to the much fancied Western Bulldogs.   After a slow start that saw the Dogs out to

    CROSSING THE PICKETT LINE by The Oracle

    Melbourne’s performance in losing its Round Zero contest in Sydney has certainly caused the club, the coach and the players to come firmly under the watchful eye of the football world and exposed all of its aspects to a microscopic lens.   Much of the commentary surrounding them has been less than complimentary and, while some might argue that this is unfair after only one round, leaving aside some of the scuttlebutt that surrounds a lot of the discussion around the game, a fair amoun
