    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.

Wind has dropped a bit. Some sloppy play by the scorps towards the end. The Weed takes a great one gander but misses the goal from the boundary.  jake spencer kicks a goal from outside 50. ANB another just after. Scorps in front by11 points

I think it was Hulett who missed that shot. 

Anyway, there has been a bit of niggle in the game with Terlich heavily involved. No surprise he instigated the dust-up on the way to the sheds.

Does Weed actually look like he will be a player? Havent seen a second of him playing so i only have these reports to go by.

Keeping a lid on but yes, watched him against Collingwood, skillset really good, McCartney will turn him into the player everyone wants him to be

Like Jack t game. Very good that second quarter.

scorpions very tall side but our midfielders like Anb, Newton and s couple of likely looking casey boys (sorry no idea of names) started getting more of it q 2.

massive wind and easy to score southern end. We need to hold them as much as possible. Anything under 30 points will be achievable with wind in last quarter.

Brayshaw out for the rest of the game. Not even in the rooms (talking to MFC players watching).  Good the see the team around him

Disappointing news. Hopefully the club look after him & give him a few games off if this is concussion related.

Tough day for the tall marking forward with the wind blowing it all over the place. He moves well, attacks it in the air and disposes well. He will be a player in time. We gotta beauty there.

beautiful pick up and handball lead to a scorps goal q 2. Real skill required and executed to perfection

So he isnt a one trick pony with good hands but not much else? ( rhetorical question really )

Leads to the right spots, second efforts, forward line pressure, tackle, chase etc . He shows signs of doing all the stuff that doesn't get stats? (tackles do ofc)

He holds more interest for me than anyone else at Casey as he is our fallback plan if the Hulk leaves.

His season is turning into the nightmare 2nd season from hell.

Might need a few games off to get freshened up and recover.

Sounds like Brayshaw's copping some crappy luck in his second year, hope he's ok.

It is not his ability, as I have said before, all AFL players should have the skillset at varying levels, his skillset is good, which means he has the opportunity to be an AFL player of a very good standard, some players can run all day but have a low level of skills, it does not stop them becoming an AFL player, which as we have discussed means that they are AFL standard, let me know if this is still not that clear....ability is more about being able to produce your best on a consistent level, as in Bill Shorten talks a good game and seems to have the skillset required to be a Prime Minister, but will he be able to maintain it and not drop the country into the cesspit that the last two Labor governments have..........back to the WEED, from training you can see him listening intently to every bit of information that is pushed his way by the coaches, which again is a good sign

The new Melbourne ding, he has to do the above if he wants to be even considered for a game in the AFL

To be honest, if the Weed was able to save a country from recession during a global financial crisis, I'm not sure we even need Hogan!

We don't need Hogan, he is going to stop the boats by standing on the beach at Fremantle with his hand up in a threatening manner

(I was going to use the Canute reference, but thought it might be wasted, history to young people these days, means something you wipe off your browser to make sure Mum doesn't see the websites you're trawling)

 

Besides which the Chinese building boom saved this country in the GFC, a drovers dog could have managed it

    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,
