  • 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.

We will win this not because we are on a roll or the Saints are not as good as us but because we now have players with better skills who are not mentally damaged.

Like I said...

To me there is still an element of lack of confidence if the mindset isn't right. And we are still prone to awful errors that lead to turnovers and help feed a poor mindset. We have improved, undoubtedly. But there will still be hiccups with this crew. 

 

 

Lotto numbers please..:unsure:

Just PM me ;)

One player wouldn't have made much difference child, back in your box you go. 

Another inside Mid which kinda means that you have options tpo use another player on the outside which is where we got smashed!

You don't mind calling me a child and if that is your response then put up a credible one yourself re selection oh oracle of the ages!!

Now just to show you what I mean, If IF we had of won many on this site would have said Jesse Hogan made the difference! As it was would St. Kilda have won without Reiwoldt?? I doubt it!

Food for thought Oracle I await your Response with interest

"The man with the child in his eyes"

I am out of the country for the next two games AF so how does this grab you?

A win this week followed by a loss the following.

We can beat  GCS they have been devastated by injury and the Dogs have too much talent for us.

Realistic, but I reckon we might give them both a run for their money. You could argue the Dogs are hamstrung (pun intended) by injuries as well. As someone else mentioned, I'd say we're more likely to win the next two and then get run off our feet by a quicker Brisbane team.

We're very much on track for finals if we can win 2 of the next 3 though.

Sorry AF I find that hard to agree to. We are a ten win team this year you saw on Saturday that we can still be very ordinary.

We have a much improved list but still have a lot of wet behind the ears kids who need another couple of years before they propel us into finals games.

Please tell me who miraculously makes the transition to becoming an outside player because we brought in another inside player.

Your argument has merit if you say we should have brought in Billy Stretch as he is pure outside run but as we got smashed on the outside Oliver would not have been answer to that.

Brayshaw gets more outside ball than Oliver does ( and I'm not saying Brayshaw should have played either)

Agreed. But if we do get to the 12 game mark, judging by the tightness of the competition this year, that could get us in. And don't worry, I'm with you, we'll certainly have games that we lose where those younger players will run out of gas and our 'leaders' will fail to stand up.

Play Bernie HBF and release Lamumba upfield! Oliver plays as a mid!

Another option Hunt plays also as an outside runner upfield!! 

Plenty of options there!

    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

    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,
