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 21


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Bad kicking is bad football.

I'm disgusted at the loss today. The optimists can continue their blind hope. I only deal in facts, and the fact is nothing has changed and the club has been a failure for over half a century. It's getting f*cking tiresome watching the same stupid sh*t being served up year after year. You can say we've improved, but so have all the other clubs around us and we're still battling to even make finals. With the playing list we have, we should be a top 4 certainty. I don't know who's to blame, but someone needs to be accountable for the continuous failure.

If anyone knows where umpire Matthew Nicholls lives, please PM me. I've had a gutful of the cheating/incompetent (take your pick) maggot, and I need to carry out justice for the sake of society.

We should try and squeeze all the currency out of J.Hunt that he has and try and get back into the first round.  He’s like the bloke from Mighty ducks, all speed and no idea.  Cannot hit the side of a barn.  SHow other clubs his 2016 high light package

The Pedersen selection is one of the worst I have ever seen.  He is not a backman, never was, never will be.

And yes I questioned it Thursday night too.

 

It is so easy to take a potshot at the bloke coming in to pay his first game in about 10 weeks and on base money instead of the Top 10 highest paid players that play every week and continually let us down against Top 8 sides.

Was always going to be a losing battle with Goodwin vs longmire in the boxes.

So many mediocre players on this list and lack of leadership and class is astonishing to me.

Hogan should be ashamed.

Vanders and pedo are barely vfl standard.

Mentally weak club!

 

I honestly believe and said it last year , we should put hogan up for sale. I understand he has had his issues but he goes missing when it gets hard. 

Many clubs especially freo would give a lot for him and I think we cash in now while he has some value.

Agree - he was far from our worst.

Mentally fragile, weak and when the pressure went up we went bye bye, led by Jones who played his worst game in 10 years if not his career.

no one spread, no one looked to switch, down the line bombs. Idiotic hand balling as always, played with a flair we don’t possess or can’t pull off and got belted by a club with half a bench. 

Our “Stars” poo their pants when it gets tough. 

Our theme for the rest of the season is “so long and thanks for the fish!”

Roos vs Crows + Saints...

Port vs Pies and Dons...

If Roos lose one of those, and Port lose both, we won't need to win either of ours.

 

Really. It is over. Just leave the sleeping dog asleep. We will finish 9-11th. Simple!

They would be stupid enough to give 2 first rounders for him. If they did, i would take it in a hearbeat.

I am not taking a potshot at Pedders.  I always support him on here and I like him.

I am taking a potshot at the match committee who for some bizarre think he can play as a backman at AFL level and play in the same team as Frost and O Mac.

Being two men up and still blowing it. Inexcusable today. Sorry but that was yet another pressure test and, like every other pressure test this year, we [censored] blew it. 

We will miss finals. We will set a new record for being the team with the highest percentage to ever miss finals, which seems the cruellest outcome of all after what happened last year. 

[censored] this club. Perennial losers. Loser culture. Pathetic excuse for leadership. Get stuffed.

Poise. Finishing. Leadership.

Those three things got the Swannies over the line.

When opportunities were there they took them. A lot of the time, they took 50/50 chances when we were blowing 80/20 chances.

The other issue is we need to stop trying to make every game a 120 minute highlight reel. Sometimes it's a case of progressing into the fifty rather than trying to smash into it. That's what we are missing. The Swans were brilliant with this.

There are two games to go. I genuinely believe we aren't that far off the pace and we can beat either of the Eagles or Giants. The head needs to be in the game and not up the players' bumholes and we will be where we need to be.

Lastly, Johnson's knee injury was as gutting am injury I have seen. It will take a superhuman effort to get back and whatever way he goes, I wish him all the best.

It’s not like he’s wrong, he’s a great bloke and playing good football at VFL but with a Sydney side have 2 key forward (counting mccarten is almost a big of a joke) and one ruckman. For us to play 3 tall defenders is ridiculous. the Selection was always one that was going to make it easier for Sydney to score 

 

That doesn’t excuse Nathan Jones, Jayden Hunt, Alex Neal-Bullen, JKH, Spargo for having absolute stinkers

Jezus calm down. Was one of the game's leading ballwinners and was killing them until his ankle went bad. Came back on and played on one leg, as he has been doing for 6 weeks now. There's about 17 other MFC players who deserve abuse more than him.

And two second rounders? You're having a laugh.

I’m no longer giving a single [censored].

We had to win today but blew it once a bit of pressure was applied.

Our only saving grace is that other game results have fallen our way this round. Still, can’t seeing us making finals.

    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
