    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.

We can bank the 4 pts but should have really been well beaten today. They kicked themselves out of it.

Nonetheless, what a fantastic win. Really liked the tackling pressure, especially in the 1st and 4th quarters.

If we can sort out the end to end transition (both defending and attacking) we'll be a hard side to play against this year. Loved Oliver, he's going to be some player. Jack Viney BOG by some margin.

Best on? Injuries? What's wrong with Hogan and his 3 goals? How was Oliver? When should I buy finals tickets?

Help a sister with third world internet out!

Best on is probably Viney, was az machine today, but honourable mentions to gawn dominating in the ruck and a fantastic opening game to Oliver.....

 

 

Hogan was very well held for the first 3 quarters. but the last quarter he finally found some room and drove us to a win.

 

get excited by oliver!!!!

 

give it another couple of weeks before you get finals tickets.....

Viney.

OMac ankle. On crutches at end of game. 

Hogan slept through the first half. Moved on to the ball in 3rd. Forward again in the last and came alive. Bloody star.

Oliver 17 touches in the first half, 1 in the second. Faded but very bloody exciting.

I'd wait a bit for the tix.

Jack Watts, follow this up week in and out! Best game for him yet!!

Kennedy! Wow 2nd efforts and pressure!

Gawn gave our mids great first options! Smashed them in the guts!

Oliver..... The ginger is a freak!

Viney is the hard center in the mids. just keeps moving the ball forward with intent!

Tom McDonald! rebounding intercept marking!

Great effort and endeavor! Showing us what we can do if we keep at it and don't give up!!!

GO DEES!

Watts has clicked. 

You knew we'd win when VDB's kick dug a trench on its way through for a goal. 

Tyson will lose his spot this year if he keeps this rubbish up. 

Very happy with Kennedy. Even more happy with GWS goal kicking and Steve Johnson's selfishness. 

Oliver! Oliver!

A Watts-lead come from behind victory against a good team. Not too shabby!

Like: Viney, Watts, Oliver, TMac. The belief.

Dislike: Tyson's, Frost's, OMac and Bugg's kicking.

Bit harsh on Frost. He was great in his pressure and efforts. And his tackle that should have had the GWS player holding the ball was a ripper. The umpires were utter Sh!te.

I think we underestimate the quality of GWS.. 

Great comeback & never say die attitude hopefully beginning with similar positions in practice games..  

Cant ask for anymore than that .. Sure some poor periods but remember great sides find a way to win!

I'm being picky but young Oliver had 5 possies in the second half. A great first up game.

Don't like his kicking SYL. I can see why they play him though. Speed and height.

2 interesting stats

1. Clayton Oliver had 15 contested touches, record for a first gamer is a tie between Jack Viney and Ollie Wines on 16

2. Jack watts had 100% disposal efficiency 4 score involvements and a goal in the last quarter

I thought the whole side was terrible with their disposal. I thought that there were more positives than negatives. We are still unable to hit targets when we are on the burst. Oliver was great, I think Petracca will be  a huge bonus when he comes in. Tommy Mac got better as the game went on. Lots to like.

And only 51% game time apparently, which the bulk of must have been in the first half. Very impressive.

Viney, Kennedy, Watts, Maxey, T-Mac up there. No Major Issues on the bench. For his first game Oliver was fanbloodytastic. Put one or 2 seniors to shame (Tyson.... ughh). Not finals worthy...yet. Check In again about Rnd 6 !

I really wish our key forwards would lead harder at the ball carrier and demand the footy instead of hanging out in front of goals for the big pack mark. Very frustrating, Hogan would kick bags of goals if he would just lead out of the goal square a bit more.

    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

    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
