  • 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.


GAMEDAY - Round 18



Recommended Posts

Given the time in our forward fifty few if any of our forwards have good possession numbers.

May explain why we are not converting time forward into scores.

Looking forward to the second half...........one always lives in hope as a Dee's supporter

Every time I wake up on the other side of the world on game day I have no idea what to expect. I didn't expect us to be in front by 2pts at half time and sounding like we should probably be further in front. C'mon Dee's keep it going!

What do people see in Omac? Honest question. What is he good at?

Absolute liability of the highest order, I would love to know what the selectors see in this bloke! He is not and never will be up to it. Oh and his Brother wio wants plenty to stay just cost a goal as well. Get them both out! Seriously Flawed!

If we play in the second half as we have in the first, we'll win by 7-8 goals. We simply can't take the foot off the peddle at all.

Can we keep it up?  It's 50/50 for me.  If we can kick a few early ones then the confidence might skyrocket.

I think we can keep it up, but their forward line has too much firepower, too much power, and too much experience. On days like today we miss Frawley!

Still, great to see them having a dig.

Whoever it was here that said Stretch is extremely clean, excellent call

His turning circle is bloody slow though. I like him though. Gonna be a ripper, I reckon.

Omac is going to be one of the great backline players. But we could get rid of him, like you wanted Jetta Watts and a heap more gone. Give the kid time.

He can have time in the 2's. He is a 1 on 1 liability full stop.

What is wrong with you seriously, another pre season into Oscar, who at the moment is about 10kg short of what they want him to eventually play at, and he will have no qualms facing any of forwards coz he has already played against them and have the experience

I fear you might be right bing - those 5 minutes where Kennedy and Lycett took a few marks wasn't pretty to watch.  To the boys credit they didn't let it happen again, but there is still two quarters of footy left to be played.  If our work rate stays as it is then we will win.

Well if we continue to get the ball inside 50 we will eventually start to score. The eagles defence can't keep on defending. The thing is we haven't capitalised on our dominance

On days like today we should be playing Dunn over Frost or Oscar. Earned the recall in his last VFL appearance

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    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,
