  • 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.

3 of our best backline out

4 of our best midfield out

Jurrah is clearly injured.

What the hell did you expect?

More excuses, just what we need.

Ah Benno, I find it very difficult to judge him when all he's got are spuds, and those spuds clearly aren't playing to the game plan (unless that game plan is to constantly kick to a 4 on 1, which if so definitely sack him!).

It's not excuses, it's a FACT. This week, and the next couple are irrelevant for anything but identifying talent that's not up to it. There's no point getting upset, we have no cattle at the moment. Tomorrow's game has more relevance that tonights game.

Hahahhaha. Look at the two teams. Look at them on paper.

We are a 10 goal worse team. He coached to win the game. Had we played up the corridor we would have lost by 100.

Dean's struggling but he'll be fine. The players also need to play for him.

If i remember John Worsfold was the coach most under pressure 12 weeks ago. Now he's controlling when he wants to renew his contract...

I sat at the punt road end. I realized that our forward structure was useless. The team looked like its coach was a dead man walking. If he needs advice from lethal, why don't we just get lethal to coach us. Tonights game was crap. Boring footy. I could coach better.

Why did we change our game plan for tonight? What was our game plan anyway? Play a loose man back and our forwards up? This was coaching ten years ago. He doesn't understand the modern game i feel.

I disagree, look at every marking contest he's been involved in lately. He's barely getting two feet off the ground, I'd like to either see him have a week or a spell at casey with limited game time. The commentators seemed to think he's hampered as well so I'm not seeing it with rose-coloured glasses.

John Worsfold had a few more runs on the board than Bailey though. Coaching for his career for the rest of the season, but unfortunately for him he is doing it with half a list.

BS. No game is irrelevant. Wheres the passion, wheres the hardness every player who is out there should have this irrespective of the injuries. Even when we did have a near full team against the Hawks and WC we got smashed.

He couldnt do it with a full list, so injuries wont make any difference.

Jurrah does not have the tank to push up and back as often as he is doing in the first half, then by half time he is stuffed.

And we don't have a forward line, we have a few players hanging around the middle outnumbered for our backs to kick in the general direction hoping it will go out fdor a boundary throw in.

Agree.

What do players learn from this sort of rubbish and what an insult to supporters

    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
