    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.

The bald umpire is twerp but not a [censored] cake like Pannell.

I think we should be turning the focus quickly from how well we played to when Colloingwood should sack its coach.

Personally,I think they should pretend to back him then do a quick switch at the end of the season , then cast the net for someone more arrogant and worse with  the players .

Find another club to follow, that's if you do follow Melbourne.

Exactly, some people are never happy. Win a flag by 10 goals and they would say should have been 15. Takes all kinds.

I know their forwardline is incredibly ordinary, but our talls looked superb today and will hopefully gain some terrific experience on the big stage from that.

Frost needs to eradicate those brain fades, but his body work and judgement of the ball drop was fantastic. Omac continues to improve and his spoiling is a real asset. Even Tom was great today. I love Wagner's composure. Strangely, my favourite boy Jetts played his worst game since becoming the leading small defender in the competition under Roos. Hunt needs to learn to kick or handball on his left side if the situation demands it.

Anyway, I thought our defensive systems worked very well today and the McDonald's and Frost held up brilliantly against extremely tall opposition.

Gawn easily best afield. The less said from me about Bernie's 42 touches the better.

Frost might have saved us a couple 100k on a decent defender because he was super! Il cop the small mistakes but being down back just suits him.

No more forward experiment.. ever!

Frost did look great. Our 3 tall backs looked like they knew what they were doing (mostly). A lot was the lack of forward pressure but you can only play who you are against  

 

Listening to SEN and Collingwood supporters talking about who is out. Pretty sure we also have 4 players who would be best 22 out.

Just weird that Frost was being tried up forward when it was obvious he was a backman, and we were crying out for one! 

I'd even suggest that had he played back on Daniher in the Essendon game the result could have been different.

Sorry I can't join the party most teams would have belted the pies by 10 goals.  Oscar was passable but should still be at Casey - he gave away 2 goals.  Jetta, Stretch & VDB were barely adequate.  Frost & Tom McD were lucky the Pies kicking for goal was poor.  Hogan dropped 3 chest marks.  Trengove is just going.  Lucky for us Watts, Max & Bernie had huge games & the Pies were missing a few players. 

That means we are just like most teams then!

Be happy with the win. It was one we should have won and we did.

You are doomed to a life of misery if you can't find some joy in beating the Pies on QB.

The midfield is clearly the area that still needs reinforcements if we're going to win a flag. Our ball use could still be drastically improved. People need to stop talking about Hurley and start talking about Prestia, Neale, Crouch etc. They're the guys we need.

Very, very happy. I was invited to a corporate box today. I arrived to find myself the only Dee supporter amongst 15 smug Magpie medicos - almost the worst type of supporter. Well it was my lucky day - I managed to guess the first goal kicker and was the only one to pick that Melbourne would be in front at half, 3/4 and full time. Only missed out on the 1/4 time lead.

Go Dees!!!!

That's a hard one Biffen. Neeld was horrible with the players but with the arrogance of Pottsy Webber. Alan Jones

I'm often one of the first to turn on him, but shout-out to Dawesy - Thought he was terrific. 

One of the best games he's played for the club. He wasn't brilliant, but he certainly earned his spot. If he can hit the scoreboard, he'll be worth another year. Humble pie consumed.

Great to win on such an important day, but I was pretty disappointed with a lot of our play. Very messy at times and a lot of horrendous turnovers.

But a win is a win, and a win over Collingwood is better than most. If we can get some consistency and play like we did in that second quarter, we might push closer to the 8 than many think.

Go Dees.

A big dose of reality please! Yes we were super but this was only Collingwood, not one of the top sides! We were good enough to have an 8 goal win but the most gratifying thing is that we will actually improve massively on today's performance. Well done boys. Stay close and work for each other and with each other. Good job today.

I have called for a second ruckman before and today adds merit to the cause. With gwan having spells up forward it is hard for the oppsotion to cover him, hogan, watts and dawes slash pederson

Oh yes. Of course. Another great day from Dom Tyson too. If he can play at this level for the next 12 games, he'll be A grade by the end of the year.

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

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

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.
