  • 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.

GAME DAY

like 3rd quarter v hawthorn, just vice versa

Ah no.... that quarter was 8.11 to 1.0. Nothing like that.

Richmond 7.5. 47

Melbourne 12.4. 76

Dees by 29 pts.

Won that quarter by 9 pts.

Goals: Green 3, Jones 2, Watts 2, Trengove 2, Martin, Jurrah , Howe.

Really impressed wiuth the intensity and some of the ball movement is exquisite. Impressed with Nicholson's don't argue's and breaking tackles whilst on the run looking up field. Garland, Rivers and Frawley doing well as required. Moloney coming into the game that quarter, Jones playing very well. ANd the forwards in Jurrah, Green, Howe, Petterd playing with freedom and looking dangerous foe nearly every i50. Martin and Jamar sharing the load both in the centre and up forward. Making contests. Bennell could be a bit more dangerous with some confidence. Goes to the ball one handed alot, would prefer two hands and that he take the physicality responsibility for his teammates. If you go half hearted at 50/50 balls, opposition will find you out and exploit that. Putting in though so that is a positive.

Bring on the second half. Must let the footy do the talking again and keep the accelerator down. May just break the game wide open.

Anyone know anything about Sylvia making contact in an off the ball incident? Heard someone saying he'll get 3 weeks for it...no one at the game knows anything about nor did anyone see it. Me thinks it's a bit of good ol' fashioned BS.

@ Akum. Jordie was on him late in the quarter, not sure who was on him earlier, possible Gys. Garland gets him when he is going forward.

On of Jordies tackles on him in their F50 he literally threw him self at him through the air and wrapped both arms and legs around him and rode him to the ground. Don't argue that!

Off the ball incident...know nothing.

The only contact he had was his knee into Conca's head. Conca got a free, could have been nasty but just grazed him. All accidental. Sylvia should have gone down low like Conca did. Granted, Conca may have just beaten him to the ball.

true, overexcited...what I should have said was 'tiges really struggling to release the ball following a dees behind, a little reminiscent of the hawks game'

Yeah fair enough.

Our press is putting pressure on.

Our ball handling is good.

edit:

Watts mark - great pack mark, stood tall !!

Nothing in it, Conca (I think) and Sylvia were both running at the ball and Conca's head hit Slyvia's knee as they both when low for the ball

    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
