  • 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.

Collingwood 189

Melbourne 27

Optimism.

We lose by 38 points. Whatever the actual scores. 38 is the number I see. Feeling we will kick 10 goals and however many points- therefore

Collingwood 98- 103

Melbourne 60-65

If we actually play someone as a permanent forward I think we're a chance to kick at least 3 in the first half.

Doing the math in comparison with last week we will then kick 3 x the amount that we kicked in the 2nd half.

1st Half:

3.18 = 36

2nd Half

21.21 = 147

Full Time:

24.39 = 183

Bit wayward but who knows.

Still comes up short to Collingwoods 189 though.

A better performance or another painful day?

Most likely another day spent in the Frank Grey Smith sinking beers GNF!! Lost you after half time last weekend. ;)

Yep, had to go for a sulk on the top deck by myself for a while. Get my head around it!

Anyway, I agree likely painful day = more beers in Frank Grey Smith. See you there!

If we don't turn up again, it could be 100+...

If we DO turn up, I expect a 35 point loss.

We won't play 4 quarters... That's a given. Either we'll get close, and fall away disheartened in the last 10 minutes allowing their mature and fit bodies to score freely in that time (the pies love to rub it in)... OR we'll get done soundly all day and kick a few junk time goals.

There WILL be whole slabs of game time where the wheels just fall off. And for us to have ANY chance, Scully and Trengove both have to have second games to remember.

We'll have all 18 players doing circle work in our defensive 50 from the 13th minute mark of the first quarter.

Was thinking about whether Bailey will circle the wagons or continue to be attacking? I think the latter.

Should be interesting.

I am Giving Dean Bailey one last chance to show us all he can coach-so whether we win or lose is not so important. (Yes once the Siren goes this theory gets Booted straight out the door i know)

But i want Dean & his coaches to turn out a team who is ready to absolutely tear up the MCG to the best of their ability for 4 quarters, that means Senior players will work harder than our kids, But all 22 will show their Best.

If this happens we may win or we may lose, But we will know if Dean Bailey can coach on Match Day & all of us, Players included can work away Proudly from the MCG knowing we are the Demons.

MFC by 11 points (This is it Bails) Think Nike....Just Do It

In one thread you claim you wanted to give him until Round 12 this year before addressing where he stands. In this one, you claim you're giving him this week as a 'last chance' to show that he can coach. You admit that we're still a work in progress yet seem to refuse to give it time.

I reckon most of the opinions here are a work in progress....or should that be regress.

I will give it time-But he has got to show us something this weekend 45 "CAN HE COACH"?. Here cometh the Moment, and yes after QB i would have his position fully reviewed

i think that's pretty fair, i can handle a loss this saturday-but i want to see some fight from on field & in the box. So yeah this Saturday i ask Bails to give us all a look at what he can really do.

Win or lose, one game of footy wont tell us if Bailey can coach. I wont be walking from the ground a proud demon and magically have the anwser. As Rip Curl Say.... The Search Continues

This is Baileys last chance to show something before I give up on him completely.

MCG game vs the Pies, and we aere coming off a disastrous loiss.

Its his job to fire the players up, and its his job to deliver a game plan that can get us a win which can turn this ship around.

If we get flogged in the same manner as lasr week, I hope he gets sacked.

I'm just looking forward to the game against Richmond when Watts, Blease, Garland, Gysberts and Maric are all playing and we can start to concentrate on our future

One Game of footy can tell a lot. Are you telling me that he cannot improve that team on last weeks Performance?? That's is all i am asking.

Have you had days in your own job where you just have to perform-I bet you have.

Well in my eyes this is one of them for Dean Bailey-I am glad we are playing the Filth on saturday, as there is no bigger game to play during the season.

Its Totally up to Bails-if he coaches well then WE know. I don't understand why so many around here tip toe around-No wonder the club has been average for 46 years. Not enough is expected of it.

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    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
