  • 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.

Why did you make 2 inexperienced footballers captain and and p1ssing off Frawley,Rivers,Moloney in the process causing dissent in the team.

Why did you think replacing Moloney with Rodan and Martin with Pederson was a good idea-i'd take those 2 back in a heartbeat.

Why do you persist with a useless zone defence when our players don't buy it,we stand so far off our opponents that we can't even tackle them resulting in 54 and 35 tackles in 2 games,there is no pressure on the opposition ball carrier resulting in an avalanche of goals.

After your next 2 games of coaching,what are your plans for the rest of the year?

GWS will beat us,those kids are skilful enough to hit targets under no pressure and Cameron/Patton will kick 12

The two top points Jack i think answer each other - on field and off field leadership has been very poor from our 'Senior' group (rightly or wrongly from whats happened in the past) And I feel Pederson and blokes like that have been brought in to fill the massive gap.

Has it worked - no, not yet.

And Rives choose to leave, so that leads to the question - why are these pi$$ed off senior players still at the club? Why do they feel they can take the pay check but not put in on field? Why do you get the choice to disagree with the coach?

The rest of your post i agree with

For me i don't care who is right or wrong from 2009 to now - these blokes represent our club on and off the field and from 2009 to now those leaders you mentioned have not done their jobs - Frawley gets a honourable mention as not having a lot of support for a young bloke

Do you read Demonland?

if that is a question to I - I do not read a lot of Demonland no

Do enjoy the occasional debte :)

And bloody confused why such poor preformances are happening on field - if anyone thinks its and easy answer they are kidding themselves

2 coaches in 3 years can't get the required output form this group. Do we think a new coach is giong to make this all go away?

I do realise a lot of this thread is to make fun of our situation - but it is still an interesting read

Probalby a poor thread for my contributions but it's too hard in 30 mins at lunch and in the morning to catch up with every discussion :)

I agree UH I keep saying the same thing.

We have a poor list there are about a dozen out of 40 that are AFL standard.

You cannot pull up your socks if you don't have any on.

IMO it is that simple.

I would like to know from you Waltham and Watts jurrah Dunn why you think change wasn't needed or what changes should have been made?

Change was absolutely needed, however there are many ways to achieve it and I have personally witnessed a number of organisations have the right ideas, but jump in too quickly to achieve it. I would think the question is worth asking!

It is obvious to all that our mid-field has been the biggest issue. Simply we have the worst in the league with only GWS in the same category.

This being the case why has MFC trading concentrated on KPP? In the last 2 years 5 KPP have been recruited. I would suggest that Clark, Dawes were worth recruiting and have plugged a hole but at least 2 or the other 3 should have been midfielders. If you struggle to win stoppages you will struggle. I believe this is our primary problem.

Why do you think so many players have gone backwards under your time as senior coach?

If one train leaves the station travelling west at 30kmh at 6pm, and another leaves the station on a parallel track travelling west at 50kmh at 6.30pm, when will they meet?

Around 7:15pm or 37.5km west of the station.

    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
