  • 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.

thoughts on Beamer and Jones cleaning up Buddy at the start of the match... i thought it was great... set the tone for the rest of the side... Jones gave the free away, but it showed we had come to play and that hawthorn would have to earn their kicks...

something you don't see happen much in footy anymore...

things like that make you go to the footy.. and make you stay even when you lose as you know they are seriously having a crack...

even thought we lost how much prode did you guys feel then the first few games..i couldnt find a big enough rock to hide under..

i think everyone had a dip today .. it just showed you what they are capable of.. and in some cases what they arent capable of...

ewok,

think that because carroll did it and then cannot back it up by playing tough, that they dont rate him....

whereas both jones and moloney are both hard and will put their heads over the ball when required to do so....

difference in toughness!!

Not so. Carroll plays tough.

Carroll copped ridicule because he played the tough stuff at the start of the game, then the team got absolutely flogged. And it doesn't help that he looks like a mass murderer.

If the MFC had got flogged on Sunday, Jones and Molone would have looked as stupid as Carroll usually has.

Get a grip.

The point is aggression , intimidation and letting the opposition know we wont be pushed around is what most melb supporters want. Hawthorn are one of the toughest sides around and on Sunday we served it up to them. I was very proud of the entire team on Sunday and you can`t ask for much more than that.

My point is, you weren't there, and in another thread you said you didn't see the game, now you're passing judgement on something that happened which makes your post irrelevant

Hey deanox. Here it is on bigpond video http://bigpondvideo.com/AFL/49217

At the game I thought we had targeted franklin as a premeditated plan but looking at the replay it shows Jamar copping one in the center, Jones helped out with some muscle, the ball makes it way to hawks forward line where after a clearing kick from Moloney, franklin takes him down, Moloney gets up and takes franklin down with payback, franklin gets up and Jones sits him back down again hard.

Good tough stuff!! Was great to see at the time, spine tingling excitement, and more so now that I know we were looking after ourselves physically, stamping ourselves on the game after an attempt to rough us up, I was straight up and out of my seat with excitement

And while your looking at that check out Dean Baileys press conference http://bigpondvideo.com/AFL/49633. He alludes to the lack of reward from the umpires from our tackling efforts.

Love the explanations too "If a couple of things had gone our way"... "I thought our guys tackled well, pinned the arms, 180°'s, 320°'s, 720°'s occurred and I thought they might have been rewarded"

Good to see and hear Dean sticking up for our guys in the media in such a calm yet determined and focussed manner.

The journey has begun and it is going to be a really fun ride

No its not tough. Its bulls**t.

Basically what Aaron Hamill did his whole career.

I definitely saw the irony in the Steve Johnson clash which basically ruined his career

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
