  • 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.

Jack Watts in 2016?

Sometimes I really don't understand the feuding on this site. FWIW I have been firmly in the "don't delist" camp and would summarise JW this year as follows: 1. He is certainly surpassing the "mi

I'll back Watts to play more than 10 games next year. For the Dees, not Casey.

I am always happy to give him a break.    Why?  Because he is a good bloke,  who tries hard and is a good club man. If he isn't up to it, the w

That's just waffle from a well-known lightweight.  You haven't addressed one aspect of what you're disagreeing with.  As I said, you've been hogtied by your own incompetence.

As I said preseason, goals per game was a worthwhile parameter for his new role.  Naturally you scoffed, because you lacked vision. He had to impact the scoreboard and he has.  You couldn't see it coming, which is why you call it a "stringy" objective.  That's how dopes defend their earlier lack of insight.

And thanks, I'm going to have a wonderful day.

 

Is there an echo in here?

ProDee, you use the club's b & f as the litmus test, then you use goals, then you compare Watts' output to Gunston's....

Make up your mind, lad.

Watts is having a fantastic year and he's been an integral part of the team's progress.

Time for a hug.

Another non-thinker.

Clearly a B&F result is a litmus test, as is goals kicked for a permanent forward (i.e. Watts role this year).  

There's a reason Jeremy Howe is a failed forward and plays down back.  He doesn't impact the scoreboard.

Some of you have been posting here for a decade, but haven't grown an inch in that time.

Honestly ProDee, all internet wars aside, I think you need to accept that not everyone will see things the same as you. Doesn't make them a "dope" and doesn't mean they haven't "grown an inch", just means that they don't agree with you, no matter how many posts you use to insult or thrust your "logic" down their throat.

Have a cuppa mate.

Watts' role this year has not always been the permanent forward. So, wrong...

Further, it still grates on you that you've made some outlandish commentary about this player's future and been found to be....wrong x2

So, admit that you're wrong x3 and let the healing begin.

If you didn't potshot from the sidelines with your gifs and inane comments you wouldn't know how to participate on the internet.

It's little wonder your lightweight views get held to account.

No, he is a permanent forward.  The fact that he drifts back at crucial stages or at the end of a quarter doesn't change this.  It's called modern footy.  Rest assured, he's a permanent forward in 2016.  Even more to the point, be thankful he's finally playing his best role.  Not only don't you seem to recognise this, you even want to deny it.

And clearly enunciate to me where I've been wrong about this player.  Remember, put some effort into it or you'll come up short.

Except when he is in the ruck or playing back or on the wing.

I won't pander to your challenges, PD....I'm busy. You are wrong about 2016. 

You scoffed at my observation that this player is finally exposed to a coaching regime that's got a clue....or, you'll refute that too?

Suffice to say, he's playing fantastic footy.

I'm going to sit back and enjoy the ride. I suggest you do, too.

Nah mate.  You have to do better than that.

Does anyone understand footy in here ?

Other than evidence you mean? You clearly have your biases as we all do, I disagree with you. When everyone disagrees with you it is possible that they are right.

Yeah mate, and Hogan isn't a permanent forward, because he goes back too.

No more wasting time with you.

Not quite sure you understand the definition of the word "permanent"....

Stuie he is an augmentative strop, a little like you, and me and many others here.

 

Edit:- I meant argumentative strop but I like augmentative that could work.

    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,
