    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.

But we didnt, on to next week where we get another crack

And I know Ablett is a legend of the Geelong Football Club, but if he was a Melbourne player doing what he's doing out on the ground with the opposition players now we'd be livid. This is the captain of Gold Coast. They've lost by 120 points, been humiliated and Ablett is still out on the ground, all smiles, having chats with all his mates.

Catch up with them during the week. Get off the field now. That's embarrassing.

Wow Port did it easily. I did not see that coming. I mean I just thought Richmond would bounce back with there ins. But good on Port. It will be all Dimma next week. All eyes will be on them next friday night when they play the hawks. Who do Richmond have to come back apart from Rance. Yarran? Yeah he is going to help them. 

Not sure if its a good thing or not to play a team coming off a 100 plus point win. But im pretty sure we still have confidence in our game than GC. 

Anyway we are 9th.

Ablett all laughs and smiles with Geelong players after his team gets belted by 120 points.

I would be filthy beyond belief if my captain was behaving like that, beyond unacceptable. Go have a bloody coffee with your buddies tomorrow morning if you want a social catch up!

Sadly the 8 is just about locked.

This years pretenders the Suns have been exposed. 

Next year for us.

 

Pretty clear to me now, there's only 9 contenders for finals this year and we're one of them. Sadly the top 8 is usually locked after round 6, and I fully expect 8th placed West Coast will shut down Collingwood tomorrow by a sizeable margin.

We desperately need wins in the next 2 weeks to stand a chance, or else it's curtains for 2016.

Who would've thought after today's effort that we'd actually move up a spot on the ladder?!?

We will beat GC next week... I'm happy to bet my left nut on it :o

Such an irony being 9th.  Had we won we would have displaced Hawthorn in the 8.

That would have been a beautiful thing.

We would've been 7th for at least 24 hours, until West Coast [censored] on Collingwood. Sigh. :mad:

Indeed and my plan for turning my Hawthorn-supporting fiancée into a Melbourne supporter (9 years in the making) may have had some momentum. :P But not to be this week.

That man is pretty good though.

But you're right - stop Lynch and you go some way to stopping GC.

We'd leave him loose all night like Reiwoldt.....

I hope I'm wrong, I did tip us the last 3 weeks, but looking at who's above us it's going to get tough. Still a few wins left in the season and we're a chance to take a big scalp or two before the years out.

Yeah a bit strange that we gain a spot after losing. But that's a positive. 

Port kick the first 2 goals of the last quarter. Now up by 33. 

Small crowd there tonight.  Official attendance at the MCG tonight is 27,07. Wow I know its a saturday night but geez the tigs fans have dropped off.

Maybe they should have played an interstate team at Etihad SO WE COULD AT LEAST PLAY ST KILDA ONCE AT OUR HOME GROUND THIS YEAR.

 

I know, I know, build a bridge. Just needed to whinge about it one more time.

Saw this in an Age article about Cloke in the vfl which also discussed young Tyler Roos;

 "Carlton development coach Josh Fraser has labelled Tyler Roos, the son of Melbourne coach Paul Roos, as an "emerging young player". Roos, a VFL-listed Blue, made his debut for the Blues on Saturday against the Pies as he looks to make his way into the AFL ranks.

"He's still evolving and developing as a young player," Fraser said. "He showed a willingness last week to be able to work from contest to contest, he finds the ball and uses the ball really well, he's got some outside run and he's only going to get better and better," he said.'

Good rap for the young man.  Great thay his debut game went well.  He may yet mske it yo an AFL list.

Its a shame his father couldn't be at his debut as he was coaching us.

    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

    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
