  • 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.

Is that the best first quarter we've played all year?

And how unbelievably good is it to have a ruckman who can actually ruck?! Jamar is making a massive difference to our on-ballers.

Brilliant goal from Frawley, and quality work from little Addam Maric.

Bate brought his sticky hands as well I see.

GO DEES!

Edit: for those without Foxtel, we're down by 4 points (after kicking 5 behinds :rolleyes: )

Is Frawley playing forward?

Is there any chance PJ might actually hit a damn target? He is woeful, utterly woeful.

Our young guys are just so impressive.

Maric is playing one of the best games I have seen from a young kid in a long long time. His class is unbelievable.

Grimes is another one who just keeps on shinning. He seriously looks like he has played 100 games.

I love that both are getting more of a midfield run today, and getting their hands on the ball. I would like to see Morton on the wing for a bit as well. He is wasted in the back half IMO.

Jamar has been very good, his contested marking stronger than I remember.

Bate is also having a ripping game, but the forward line is lacking a target without Robbo. The Saints have 10 marks inside 50, we have 2. Pretty terrible.

We still turn the ball over far too much, and while we are putting amazing pressure on the Saints (despite them dominating the clearances), when we win the ball we seem panicked and all over the place and become way too obsessed with the handballing.

The third quarter will tell us everything we need to know about whether we are any chance of winning this. We have to maintain the intensity but calm down with our ball use and think things through. Maybe Sylvia will come alive again?

Best/ most influential players thus far: Maric, Bate, McLean, Jamar

Matthew Bate is such a confidence player, he is doing very nicely tonight. Strong hands and smart footy on the deck.

Brock is in everything.

Grimes has not wasted a kick and has taken some courageous marks.

Maric is a smart, nicely balanced player.

Rivers V Koschitzche is a worry.

Lenny Hayes is a great player.

Rivers is winning the contest thus far (comfortably). Absolutely no worries there.

Who the hell is on Hayes... and Goddard for that matter. Both are ripping us a new one!

How was the inconsistency with not rewarding Rivers for a clear push in the back, but then paying one against him for a fairly weak push IN THE SHOULDERS?! <_< :angry:

At least the umpires are leaving them alone to contest in the middle and not calling "holding the ball" every five seconds.

And I'll say it again, PJ is horrendous. Can't dispose and gives away completely stupid frees. When Jamar is crapping all over you, you know you're in big trouble.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
