  • 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.

On the money assessment bar one "Frawley - just a shadow"... Drop the just and yes he was indeed Clokes Shadow. Considering the quality ball coming in from the likes of Side Bottom, Beams and Swans restricting the big man to a couple of goals and one contested mark isn't a bad day at the office.

Frawley was great

Watts is a future umpire. He can run as fast "backwards" as forward (if you get my drift)

If Green kicks straight he finshes with 3 goals and we're in for a real sniff come 3 qtr time. Shame he didn't take his chances as those were goals he'd ice a couple years back but I thought he did a nice job. Took a couple of marks running back with the flight and presented an option for 3 qs. not our worst.

Green's in-play field kicking has been a deficiency since day dot. That jinking wind-up before getting ball to boot. It's only exacerbated now that he's gotten old and he's added 'up and under' to the repertoire.

Great servant Greeny but he is well cooked.

Watts was good and really if he was embarrassed because of pressure at kick outs up field, pie scum are particularly good fir locking down but we certainly got better at it as game wore on. The ole racing form cliche could be used here- was better for the run

I assume you mean Garland not the answer up forward and not about having his spot in the side? I dare say you meant the latter JB

greeny took some great marks, it would have been great to top them off with a goal.

Blease is still working out when he can have a trot and when he needs to give it off.

not sure what happened when he fumbled the bounce, could have been a good inside 50 bomb rather than the mess that came out of it.

Frawls did a great shut down role.

and yeh clark, couldn't be more impressed.

hoping matthews and the like are feeling a little embarressed about their comments "clark is not a quality forward'

bulk man crush!

    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
