  • 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.

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

Lol at the Bennell comment.

I'm done. I can't back him any more.

After poor old Moloney got paraded in front of the media and had to apologize to every man and his dog for having a few drinks (as well as stand down from the leadership group), what should Bailey have to do this week? I will find it supremely hypocritical if he has another week of "doing nothing" and does not change something, speak out, take blame... anything!

If we treat a deputy leader the way we did Beamer, how should the head leader of football performance be treated this week?

Come on Melbourne, show some emotion for a change.

Negatives

No Fire

No Passion

No Pride

No Gameplan that works

No leadership

No forwards

No midfield

No Bloody Idea

NO Coach at least not one that can bring out allof the above from our players

Positives

Baring a Miracle this season is shot

End of year Baileys Gone and no pay out required

Blood asmany young players we can for the rest of the year

And Pray and I do mean Pray, we can land a half decent coach at Seasons end.

Most here make excuses for the coach and team

Well time for excuses are over always remember this game no matter what, happens in the future and lock it in as the day hopefully most supporters wake up to the fact Melbourne is still along long way away from playing finals football

I have supported the Melbourne Football Club since forever and always will,however the heartache remains that the only Grand Final I have ever seen Melbourne win was a Pre season Cup.

Ive shared the highs and the lows unfortunately more lows than highs

Can we turn it around ? One can only hope.

I just pray I am still around to see it happen

Maybe if Bailey was drunk he might be a better coach.

Yeh Jimmy the great man deserves so much better than this after what hes done. Imagine if every one of our 22 that ran out tonight showed some of his spirit and determination through our performance.

This thread is a classic. Although it needs more shouting and CAPS LOCKS !!1!!1!1!11

It's a long season kids. At this rate you'll be in hospital by the mid season break.

You're a cheer leader of anything red and blue, so come on Bob, cheer everyone up.

Maybe you can deliver the obvious on a couple of issues.

I hate reactionary garbage on Demonland but this game has really just done it for me.

There are no valid excuses for losing a game mentally, physically and statistically in the first 5 minutes of a match, against last year's wooden spooners no less.

B =Barely any semblance of passion or determination.

A =awful skills by foot and hand.

I =ill conceived game plan......if at all!

L =loss of personal respect throughout whole team.

E =essentially devoid of dedication and effort.

Y =yes, we are all enormously angry and embarrassed.

Do the honorable thing and walk!

Jimmy, it's time to make a strong statement, big fella.

    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
