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.


POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 15

Hogan should be ashamed.
Jones and viney only played in the final qrt. Omac should have stopped that goal so we would have obe.
Max harmes fritz awesome.
Brayshaw tries but his dispisal was disgusting. Petty and smith not the answer.
Not surw anymore 
You could drop at least 7 players but the who do we really have to put in. 
We were just so slow and pushed around too easy.
This season is over. Even if we snuck in....deep down we all know we would be making up the numbers.
And lets be honest.....its a massive if.
Would like to see goodwin give them a huge spray.
As for traccas talk in the media he made it worse.
Anb is a chronic fumbler. Weid was ok but like pedo cant translate from casey to the big time.
This club hasnt changed.

 

Fool me once..........fool me a 1000x.

It’s Gawn’s fault. He makes us appear better than we are. 

Simon “as a footy club” Goodwin has no [censored] idea. Brings in Petty and Weid when it was clear as all [censored] last week we needed zip, pressure and crumbers to clean up the garbage that is our forward entries. 

Leaves that plodder Tyson in when Vince at his absolute worst can do whatever role Tyson is in 100 times better. 

I watch nearly every game every week, we defend just as bad as the bottom 4. Sometimes it even looks far easier to score against us. 

It’s sickening. I’m convinced I’ll never see another final. 

On the plus side Saints were paying 6 bucks and I went to town.

Honestly, not playing Vince, Frost, Garlett and or Spargo is due to Goodwins cockiness thinking that we’re a club that can win games without our best 22 on the park and gift games to players who try hard instead of talent. I don’t give a [censored] if Garlett isnt doing well in the VFL. Hannan had 4 disposals and zero marks.

Out: Petty, Tyson, Hannan, Weideman

In: Frost, Stretch, Garlett, Vince

Season over. If Pert comes in and shakes up the joint i won't be upset.

Even if we beat the Dockers next week (massive question marks now), we have to back up coming from Darwin in a week against a quick Doggies outfit.

This might end up a 10-12 season, after going into the bye at 8-3. Only Melbourne FMD

Conceding 18 goals to that rabble is just so pathetic. Goodwin promoting Petty was wrong as he didn't even deserve to be promoted ahead of Frost on form alone. If Goodwin comes out with it's "a game of inches" at the presser, I'll lose it. Admit you effed up at the selection table fwit.

fritch should always play in the forward line he is good mark and goal kicker. putting him in defense was an absolute waste. Viney should not have been tagging, the last quarter proved that, sad that it took so long for the penny to drop. Trac, Hogan and Tyson another poor performance. How many in a row before we do something about it.  Petty and Smith both selection choices, they really must hate Frost.  Without Max it would have been a 10 goal loss instead of 2 points. another game where we went in thinking we had it won before the ball was bounced, so no need to chase or put in. oh we will hear about the lessons learnt, etc.... when you are behind in a game why the hell do you not man up.

Season dond..  This one is on you Goodwin!

Picking Petty ahead of BOG performance from Frost last week, leaving Tyson on a wing to let their runners skim past him, continue to play spuds like ANB who offers absolutely nothing.

Honestly some serious questions need to be asked of this footy club. Our backline is a shambles with no experience whatsoever after trading Lynden Dunn for a packet of chips who's now one of the top defenders of the game. Oscar is a ordinary footballer and made Fatty McCartin look like Wayne Carey today FFS!

There is no forward line structure at all. 2 weeks in a row no we continue to not select a crumbling forward! Spargo, jeffy and heck even JKH just to try and add a bit of zip and forward pressure at least! Weideman is useless, watching Josh battle in his 4th game bully our backline was shameful to see.

And finally our midfield is just way too too heavy! Having Dom Tyson on a wing all day has to be one of the most mind boggling decisions ever? Time to bring Stretch in now and leave him on a wing for the next 10 games to see what he has to offer? At least he will provide run and poise unlike Tyson.

Another year full of promise, only to be now let down by this shitful club.

Our defense is now a complete rabble .

Only Melbourne can self implode like this just when things were starting to look up.

We have some hard ball bulls yes, but no skills or real run.

Couldnt take a Mark up forward to save ourselves for the second week in a row .

How come we never  kick to a leading player in the forward line? And where the hell was TMac today ? Did he play?

Doubly bad considering the other results this weekend. Bombers might beat the Kangas as well... would have left us a game clear, now we need to pull another win from our arse. Year not over but it's bloody close to it

I won’t question Goodwin, because everytime I do, I get smashed from pillar to post. But we lost this game, like many others over the last 2 years, due to selection and match ups/set ups.

Supporting this team is dead set like being in an abusive relationship. You want to believe they've changed, you want to trust them, you convince yourself that the worst is behind you. Really you're just an effing idiot and deserve all the abuse that's comes your way.

Gutted and felt like spewing (truly) as the axe was falling throughout the match and we fell apart.  But the result doesn't surprise me.

Goody left us exposed at the selection table in too many facets over the last two weeks as mentioned by many on here, myself included, on numerous occasions.

He fails to get the basics right and doesn't appear capable of fixing the bleeding obvious / adjusting accordingly at selection.  Continues to make the same errors with match ups and incorrect 'run with' roles 

What's worse he should have learned from previous week errors, in particular some glaringly obvious ones from last week, but didn't.

My confidence earlier in the year that we will make a finals series and turn this club / culture around under Goodwin wasn"t as strong as some on here but was happy to give him the benefit of the doubt and hope he proved me wrong.  After today i have none.

Time to watch the World Cup.  Belgium looking dangerous!

    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.
