  • 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.

Tyson was brilliant. What a complete game. 32 touches, 2 goals and 7 tackles.

I was at the game and I've only read the first 4 or 5 pages of this thread. My first observation is that we have progressed from a team that was regularly beaten by 100 points to a team that is now f

It's been said a lot already, but just wanted to give Jetta another shout-out. In two games this year against Jetta, Wingard's had 18 disposals and kicked 1.1. Fantastic effort, Nev.

As much as Jack Grimes cost us the chance to get back in front, we were ALREADY behind when he stuffed up....courtesy of Nathan Jones

Why would you ever play on with half the opposition team around you when your teammate has won you a free kick in the final two minutes of the game?

I propse an Umpire review panel, I'm not blaming them for our loss mind you, we have dumb enough players to manage that on their own, but I'm fed up to the gills with poor umpiring, this year has been just out of this world in terms of how far backwards its gone. Players are held up to incredibly high scrutiny, umpires shouldn't be exempt. They should have a points system for blatent errors and suspesions for those that have too many points as well as carry over points. Make the maggots accountable!

All teams will say umps cost them or were against them, we see things from our teams perspective.

We lost the game, not the umps, not port.

Jones, stupid, stupid, stupid.

Dawes, stupid kick.

Grimes, dear god your kicking is woeful.

You owe us one Chris Dawes, stupid kick to no one, cost us the game. Grimes's kick wasn't typical Grimes

Not just to no one, back into the middle of the ground. Against Port Adelaide of all teams.

We had our typical 15-20 minute patch of low intensity where we leaked goals. We played excellent clean balanced football to get back into it and then over thought the game and gave them every opportunity to finish us off. That loss hurts because the way we finished with poor decisions and execution by senior players is so predictable its not funny. Great to see Tyson back in form and Jetta have another great game but that was the extent of it for me.

yep that Watts free in the 3rd was a shocker

Holding the ball was paid for some and not others - seemed to even up in the 2nd half though (cost a goal or 2 but hell it don't matter now does it umpire)

We're a better team but skills and decision making are lacking - coughed up the ball to easily and butchered scoring shots - there is hope we can keep improving there

That Dawes kick is forgivable as he put it to space for someone to run on to.... Grimes and Jones''s error were not forgivable

    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
