  • 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 don't think you like Watts Joeboy. A tough call on Vince too.

Spot on assessment of all concerned Joeboy.

It's good to have a reviewer who doesn't care about reputations and last weeks efforts, just the game at hand!

Keep up the realistic and truthful insights that others can't see through their rose coloured glasses.....

They speak for themselves. He was one of our best today, but lacking a clear way inside 50 as was the case for all of our midfielders.

Joe Boy, you are losing credibility with me.
You are so blinded by whether we win or lose that it completely alters your analysis.
When we win, your 3 words are usually all over the top positive (when realistically you still have your negatives in a win),
when we lose they are ALL over the top negative, when not all players 22 players have bad games.
Analysis should be without emotion, you once did it that way.

Are you serious about Vince?

He turned the ball over once in the 1st qtr that was costly and noticeable, he threatened to tear the game apart in the 3rd.

Way to harsh on him.

What was Garland's role today, he was generally playing half back I think but didn't seem to be an integral part of the backline that he should be.

Why are people saying that Gawn needs to learn how to take marks?!? He took 7 today, including 3 contested (most of any player on the ground)!

Because he got clean hands to about 10 others, where he was heaps taller than his opponent and simply spilled the mark, without it being punched away from him. 3 contested marks is a very good effort but he got to a lot of contests and lacked the polish to actually take the mark. Persevere with him though - his marking will get better.

And big Max needs to take them because he is a liability at times when the ball hits the ground. Heis not great below his knees and is slow chasing the opposition. To keep his place he will just have to hold the marks he gets first hands to.

Agreed, he has to hold his marks. When the ball hits the ground he's out of the game.

Matt Jones - frustrates me that he won't back himself when running into goal.

Collingwood showed the importance of speedy half back flankers who can break the lines. This makes Grimes' current role questionable and opens the door for Blease - if he can show something at Casey.

I'm a Dawes fan but he was very disappointing yesterday. Destroyed by a kid.

    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

    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

    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,
