    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.

If that match doesn't convince Hogan to re-sign then nothing will!

Played the entire last quarter as if we had two minutes to go... woefully stupid entry into forward line.

And the [censored] umpires.

Yeah was out standing mate, couldn't have played better, hitting targets crisp, lace out 15 metres away.  3 votes Ding

Your straw man response is about as ridiculous as your first post. No surprise, you're one of those "supporters" who only remembers the mistakes, and who only sees players in terms of either all black or all white.

I don't care how poor our disposal and decision making was going forward. The free kick count was 10-2 in the final quarter. Blatant [censored] cheating.

Our defense was good. Ultimately, their defense was better.

Deplorable umpiring in the last that made it very difficult to build momentum. I never knew how blatant the bias was in Perth because we always get smashed there. It was clear the umps were looking for any reason to award a free.

No. No. No.

Have a look at the inside 50 count and then come back to me about how good our defenders were.

Come on. We robbed ourselves. Our inability to kick straight and make fundamental decisions. It's never the team's fault. The team failed to get the job done on countless occasions.

Wagner's kicking; Chris Dawes; Hogan's inability to be able to lay a tackle; Bernie Vince's lack of leadership and stupidity; and Kent's laziness. Yuck. The most heartbreaking loss of Roos' tenure.

Maybe I was a bit quick to vent my spleen, but a 50% distribution of the 50/50s in the last quarter also gets us over the line.

The back six by itself might not have done a stellar job, but our defensive pressure as a whole was outstanding.  They still scored from less than half of their entries which, when you consider who plays down there, is not a bad effort.  Makes things much easier when our midfield runs themselves into the ground like that to provide the pressure.

RIP tv remote. We had some good times.

The biggest inside 50 differential that West Coast have ever conceded at home. And we still didn't win.

A step forward. But it should've been a massive stride.

That's what I'm highlighting with the inside 50s. Overall the pressure was great for most of the game, but when they did get it inside 50 we were beaten easily.

Yeah, I don't disagree with that mate.  There were times where Oscar was easily done in that one on one situation and we still make some mistakes that hurt.  I like where we are heading, but it can be a tough pill to swallow sometimes.

This is crap!! anyone who knows anything about footy knows that they way that defence worked today was the reason we were in the game at all. You want to blame individuals? fine look into the forward line that kicked 8 goals from 66 inside 50s. Wet or not that is not good enough. 

So it's all the forwards fault, nothing to do with the high long bombs into 7 defenders? Yeah you totally get football mate, well played, there's a lot more to defense then just spooling a ball, offence can be created from the backline, accurate kicking to guys in space which opens the ground up for the forward to run to. You cannot have 4 bad kickers in the back line and expect to win games......

    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

    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
