    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.


POST MATCH DISCUSSION - ROUND 2, 2015

I will say this -

I refuse to let this footy club continually pizz me off on the weekend. You work hard during the week and look forward to relaxing and watching the footy and then they dish up these type of performances time and time again.

5 min into the last qtr for the first time I had enough and took my boys to the park instead of watching another pathetic effort.

The park was great much more fun than the alternative.

I have had enough of wasting my time when they turn on performances like today (and the last 8 yrs).

It's really disappointing that we continually dish this up.

There has to be a point when it has to stop but unfortunately it seems along way off still.

When the physical heat came to us we crumbled... Just like the NAB game against the dogs. Last week GC came at us but we weren't physically tested, just tested on the scoreboard. Blind Freddy could have seen that GWS were going to come out breathing fire and we just stood by an accepted it. I had a feeling at half time the Giants would come but did not expect the avalanche in which it happened.. Leaders didnt stand up but as I said I think Jones was carrying something. Dawes doesn't hold enough marks, or any for a matter if fact. Look at the difference between him and hogan. Kents missed goal in the 3rd from that behind the ball free really hurt, could have steemed the flow a bit

Yep, I knew they would come out firing and perhaps even get on top, but I wasn't expecting what happened and it was so disappointing to see when we all thought we were past these insipid performances.

I could run thought 16 or 17 of the 22 that just rolled over. Devastating performance.

I actually don't even care, strange really. Have just decided I'm not going to do this to myself anymore.

I'll check the scores occasionally but not going to put other things off or turn other offers down to watch the MFC anymore.

I'll double my efforts on my HK Panno this winter....get it ready for trip to the coast in the summer :)

have just got back to my hotel after coming up for the game and oh my god what the hell happened after half time? Did gws take something. Seriously they just came out and looked so much faster. The first half was great but the next half was just a diaster. Our leaders went missing when they were coming back at us and we just could not get our hands on the ball or out of the middle.

I thought with the 2 changes this week our team looked better, but Dawes did nothing, that was the worst game Ive ever seen jones play and even Herieter was fumbling the ball. Im not sure what changes to make because I feel whoever will be bought in wont really help us as they arent that great apart from grimes. I thought we had our best team in today.

I actually fear what adelaide will do to us next week.

On another side less improtant note the giants fans actually appluaded when they hit the 100 point score. serously whats with that.

Who was the dropkick who said opposition feard Dawes!?

FMD

You actually have no idea. wow. He regularly throws his weight around, bumping, harassing, yapping etc. Have you actually watched him play?

Yes he has done some dirty things, but to say that the opposition wouldn't fear him if they see him coming, OR standing in front to block etc. is just so so dumb.

I'm shocked by how stupid you are. You CLEARLY have never seen him play, so here you go:

Sorry to have to do this to you Song...

Do you actually think Hogan would have done so well if Dawes wasn't there to stop him from being double teamed, taking another opponent etc.? I agree he did [censored] all around the ground, but there are other roles a forward play which help other forwards excel. Come on.

You're better than this MS.

Dawes is useful for giving the forward line structure and yes he chases and puts on pressure but he is on $500k a year. At that price tag he needs to be a marking power forward who more importantly then any other forward line roles, needs to kick some bloody goals.

Lucky...The club should be billed for all supporters travel costs

It is pathetic that members of this team are paid $200-300,000 per year and can dish up that [censored]

Did you think all this was going to happen overnight?

Don't be delusional SWYL....we still have a coupe of years of development left yet before performances become competitive and consistent.

Was at the game. I had been willing to give Dawes the benefit of the doubt up until today. He played half the game pretty much in front of me. His skills are below par but most critically, is his poor ability to read the fall of the ball. Time and again he was out of position - but worse still, often pushed away/off from the ball by smaller more agile opponents. His seconds efforts don't have any impact on the contest and he often looses his feet. We're probably paying him 500k a year. Remarkable gig if you can get it.

    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

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    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
