  • 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.

We are just so loose and it just doesnt change....

So many players free we dont even seem to tighten up...

Then when we go forward no one is there...

Oh Darling again...FFS.....is there any danger we could have gone for a big bodied forward like him who presents strongly....

"We are judged on these games, and we look forward to taking a scalp over here against West Coast."

Yes we are Brad Green..............and I wish the players would shut up until their actions come close to matching their media talk which to date remains as fluffy garbage!!!!!!

Bailey will just focus on the positives, Like that great 2nd quarter performance and the fact we need to be more competitive.

After all! We are a young side, Its not our window yet, he has had only 4 years to make a difference and eagles are a great top 4 side. :lol:

Everybody calm down!

hahahahaha

Sorry guys, sarcasm is the only way I'm getting through this.

I tell you what, Lucas Cook better turn in to a darn good footballer as we could use someone like Jack Darling in our forward line! Would complement Jurrah and Watts nicely but, no, Barry knows best...

I think you are all about 2 years early with all this doom.

Yes we have been sh!t, but its the game plan and the way our leaders are playing.

No tactics to bring davey into the ggame of HB, no usage of tapscott off HB, none of the forwards are making the space needed for us to mark i50.

Watts looks good tonight because they are actually kicking it to him. That kids leads all day.

Sack Bailey now... I'm not sure, but he does deserve to be put on notice.

Decisions on Junior must be judged now, who ever made the call should be held accountable.

We have an amazing list, we just need someone to guide it.

Malthouse, Roos, maybe even Eade or ideally in my mind Leigh Matthews.

Something HAS to change. Whether it's fair or not, this is the absolute end for Bailey. I'm hating the thought of showing my face at work tomorrow. Players must take plenty of blame for such a pathetic, insipid "effort" ("effort" is too flattering a word for what we've seen for 3 quarters).

It's more than fair if he finishes his contract and the club chooses not to renew it.

Problem is we have made them look like a great top 4 side tonight.

So unhappy.

I'm filled with dread that this season just wont get better, and there will be no consolation in thinking about a plan to get games into kids and accept the pain.

Not giving a flying rats arse about ladder position, but there is simply no sign of a team coming together. That's supposed to have been the whole point.

Just so unhappy.

why would we want a ready made pwer forward when we could have a runt who may play some good lead up footy in 5 years when we already have Watts to do that? Barry is a genius.

I posted this on the thread about sacing Bailey...but here goes again...

I think the comments at half time really explain where Bailey is at. "We still have 60 minutes of football". Apart from about 5 minutes late in the second quarter, they have been smashed. They have no gameplan. They have no heart. They have no respect for Bailey. It is all well and good being a "teacher" of men. And being positive. How about you go and tell the players some home truths. How is Cale Morton getting a game? Unless Jamie Bennell has photos of Bailey in a compromising position, how is he getting a game? For Melbourne to get beaten by about 10 goals by West Coast is unacceptable. I get don't throw the baby out with the bath water, but Bailey can't coach. Fact. Why take a player who kicks 60 odd goals from half forward and put him in the midfield? Why is Petterd not playing? I would rather habe Bate even, than Dunn. Players should be earning their spot on a week to week basis, not on reputation. Davey = most overrated player in the comp. Bailey = Dead Man Walking

    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,

    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

    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.
