  • 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.

Tom Hawkins took a long time to hit his straps as did Jab Watson. So much so you had to ask " Is this guy really Tim Watson's son? "

Interesting jab Watson came good one summer, somewhat miraculously. A bit like Ben Cousins did. Beefcaked up and became invincible....

Including my first comment I've contributed just 2 other posts to this thread hero. I think your definition of 'time and time again' is.... wrong.

Sorry if I have offended you.

But I did see three yesterday.

How wonderful for you. You go right ahead and talk about the same things over and over and over again until he isn't at the club anymore. I mean, people have been doing it for years, so why stop now?

Knock yourself out.

Why does there even need to be 15 pages of discussion about a player we have discussed for 1000 pages since he was drafted?

I'm surprised there is anything left to discuss.

So you will only bother talking about Watts when it's something negative? Not happy to praise him when he plays positively?

Classy.

It just looks like time and time again.

Yeah, 4 comments out of 370 is going right over the top.

Which you started.

Let's move on.

So you need the last word, that's going to be frustrating particularly as you are the one that doesn't like to post on this thread.

I think more are calling for him to be traded, but the issue is that he kicked 4 for Casey, not the seniors. I really hope he comes on as he has some very dangerous attributes for a guy so tall, but at the moment it seems very much touch and go with him. But he is a big bloke, so he may just take a little more time.

I see Fitzy as a bit a a late bloomer, his early years were arrested development Via the old Dees culture, magnified by a lackadaisical attitude & his diabetes illness.

I think he was starting to show some tempting ability just prior to the Roos team came to melbourne, & is starting to develop. to me its a bit like he is in his 2nd or 3rd season with us.

I'd be very happy to give him a 1 year extension, as I still think he can make it, he has the ability, but needs to continue his development & belief.

Under this new footy dept' environment, I think he is progressing.

So there is a method to the madness.

Thanks for sharing d-l but if you could try to stick to the same rules and conventions found in English wherever it is spoken and written that would greatly benefit the rest of us

We all like to get artistic at times,but some of us like to read legible text .

You can blame Jack watts if you like.

that post was legible to me, thats why i do it that way, I can't read the words well, when they're all squashed up together, & it losses its emphasis, a bit like a Chinese mish-mash meal of chemicals. sort of like a soup of chemicals with salt added.

...... footy life is like Chocolate cake, Wise; we all want to have it, & eat it as well.... maybe jack can become a great runner for us, if only he would eat the Chocolate cake, my friend. ^_^

I suppose that Chris Dawes stops being the whipping boy for this week.

Dawes has been pretty good over the last 2-3 weeks. I'd seriously consider giving H the "whipping boy" status. Although I'm not ready to accept the fact he's been a bust, he's had a very underwhelming season.

Ha Ha, very good

I hope he kicks butt next season, as his career is years into itself now. We need Gordon Ramsay to come & be his fairy godmother for a season.

He's already been through that with Neeld. Though Ramsay is probably more of a thinker than Neeld.

As good as any place I guess ( without starting a new one )

Jack had a C+ game today  but at times when his footy forte was required , he delivered  unlike some over favoured forward ) Jack would have to be among the handful of very good kicks at our club . This also goes to a problem which needs correcting as good clubs have good kickers all across the board. It is FOOTY after all.

He was in yip-land  ( with all his other mates ) for the first half but worked himself back into the game and I thought took the game on.

 

I am one of his biggest critics at times but he was far from our worst today  imho.  Sometimes when I watch games  and especially when a result seems forecast I start amusing myself by watching elements or certain players.  I thought the interaction between him and Hogan was quite good.  Maybe their roles might have been reversed for a while  to re-boot the attack  but alas  non the less  I think hes coming on.  He is a confidence player and the team was shite for a while today...he as well.

I really like him as a 3rd tall up front  and thank god someone can KICK  !!

    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

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

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
