  • 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.

Jones - always the warrior

Hogan - our only winner

Gawn - failed to dominate

Viney - never left wondering

Vince - was rarely sighted

Kennedy - looked painfully slow

Bugg - selection defies logic

Petracca - some sublime touches

Tyson - consistently wrong options

Watts - continued impressive form

McDonald - disappears when beaten

Wagner - played amateur football

Lumumba - was embarrassingly bad

Dunn - inhibited by fatness

Harmes - a poor game

Garlett - couldn't find ball

Salem - poor before injury

Kent - probably wasn't playing

Frost - not of standard

Pedersen - see Dunn above

Hunt - out of depth

Jetta - slow and loose

Usually agree with most of yours joe, but there's a bunch that seem way off today, did you go to the game?

21 disposals at 86% Efficiency...

Selection justified if you ask me...

Tried his guts out all day and if he gets dropped after that I would be pi55ed

Harmes - looked for frees

This is a major component of his game that needs to be stamped out very quickly, he does like to sook doesn't he!

Maybe if his performance warranted paying attention to, then he might have got some (back to Casey for him).

 

As for Tom McDonald - Showed true self.

He is massively overrated - on here, by the footy department and by himself. A brainless one-legged man would be a better kick and decision maker than him. We desperately need to find a quality KPD if our backline is to improve. Try and entice Hurley across to be the linchpin of our defence. McDonald would be a much improved player as 2nd/3rd KPD.

Midfield - learn defensive spread.

Defensive coach Rawlings - poor defensive instructions

Half back line - annihilated by pace.

Harmes - an absolute shocker

Hunt - fumbly and weak

Wagner - flaws on display

Lamumba - just so poor

Frost - yuck x 3

Dunn - Agree with above

TMac - Timid, tired play

Gawn - met his match

MFC - ahead of themselves 

God that was a bad look. Most of the time he was fairly bumped off the ball too.

Agree with most of this - but Watts was average and Kennedy was ok.. didn't think he looked slow at all?

Hogan, Viney and Jones are the only ones who can hold their head ups after today's performance.

Hickey dominated Gawn in the NAB game as well.

I had a feeling Gawn was in for a poor game.

They broke even.

And Joeboy, Watts was hopeless.  He was back to the non-competitive version.

What a miserable effort after the last 3 weeks playing good tough footy, they outrun us, out marked us, worked harder and played smarter?? a number of their faster types can run flat out and still deliver the ball accurately? We lacked speed and footy smarts!!

Who beat Gawn around the ground ?  Hickey took one mark for the day.

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    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
