  • 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.

Our midfield performance made me sick today. At least Scully and McKenzie showed some fight!

I can't be buggered voting today, because coming up with anyone after Bate and Frawley is too hard.

Interesting you gave JG a vote though. I love the boy to death like as much as the rest, but I thought he was our WOG today. He just torched it so many times, it was very frustrating. JT wasn't too far behind in this regard.

FWIW I thought Dunn was reasonable today and I'd probably have him in my 6 somewhere.

I gave him a vote for putting his body on the line time and time again and actually having a go.

Finding 6 players who deserved votes though was a struggle. It was a toss up between him and Dunn, but Dunn has so many brainfarts each week that I can't bring myself to reward him. He makes my blood boil after 6 years in the system.

6 - Bate..obvious

5 - Frawley...another quality scalp

4 - Garland....played well, especially early when most slept

3 - Trengove.....could've finished his work a little more efficiently but was in and amongst it

2 - Scully....same as JT really

1 - Bruce....tried hard

And to all the Watts bashers....I thought he was far from the worst. Yes we saw the soles of his shoes far too often but wasn't alone there. He was up and about a bit more but Gerard Healy probably summed him up well by saying he need to show a bit more urgency.

Very disappointing. We MUST start well against St.Kilda next week. I don't care if St.Kilda are the form team of the competition. We got 22 players out there and so do they. We got to be the in the game from start to finish, no excuses.

CARN THE DEES.

Watts was better was he?

Someone gave watts votes?

oh why bother..

I saw improvement in him. And I saw more effort from him than from plenty of other players. It wasn't a brilliant performance, hardly even a good one, but I thought he at least showed something compared to previous efforts.

Agree, at least Dunn kicked 2 goals and troubled their defenders just a little.

To me that's overselling Dunn immensely. He was meant to do a defensive job on Johncock, but old Stiffy had a good game.

Agree that Johncock got away from Dunn too much and the points on the day go to stiffy but Dunn was not too bad on the very few occasions we got the ball into our 50 and had we got even close to matching clearances/stoppages that we should have then Dunn could have exploited this area more. He just didn't really get the delivery required to exploit him.

Extra credit to Matty Bate on his game due to this fact. Super effort Bater.

    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

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
