  • 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.

pathetic football by the demons, gutless, lazy, sloppy and no pressure. You start to finally think the club has turned the corner and is starting to play good football the sort we want them to play and then they turn on this rubbish against a rubbish side.

Come on it's Melbourne, only this team knows how to play with their supporters emotions like this. They begin to win your heart back and then they squeeze it with a big f you performance against a bottom 4 side! So so disappointing!

Apart from Dean Kent (a lot of time off the ground?), the  three players who came in, Mitchie, Weiderman and ANB are the worse performers. Can't blame the selectors, they were logical choices, but once again, Mitchie and ANB have been found really wanting at this level.

Of course, we're not losing just because of those 3.

Calling leaders... leadership... maybe some ideas from the coaches box...

No...

 

Ok, carry on as we have for the first three quarters.

Gawn at full-forward, Hogan CHF, Frost as main ruck, Vince tagging Gibbs as he should have done all day. Kick it long and don't handball it so damn much. Also, bring in Pedersen somehow.

I'm actually suspecting the coaching staff saw this coming at training and tried to inject fresh legs. It hasn't been like us to change a winning team until this week.

Really flat all day from our guys. Just no energy. Pretty disappointed, but we are moving in the right direction as a club. Gotta take the good with the bad. 

Go Dees!

Hogan not leading to the ball carrier when Vanders had broken the Simpson tackle was just the final straw for me. He's unbelievable. I'm lost for words at the laziness/lack of smarts.

Vince can sit out next week. He had contributed bugger all for over a month. Michie can have whatever contract he has torn up. He is a useless AFL footballer and never translates his VFL for ... Neale Bullen the same. Has done stuff all. Horrendous performance when we had all to play for. Devoid of leadership

Ah the joys of being overseas and waking up half way (or in this case 3 quarters of the way) through the match. I've had good moments of this, West Coast and Hawks being the main one. 

This week had danger written all over it and don't you worry I was one getting swept up in the finals possibility, but I had this familiar feeling (though not as strong) that we were coming into the game with the same mindset against the bombers. 

FFS Melbourne.

Most disappoint effort I can remember. Playing a bottom 4 team who haven't won for nearly 3 months and this is what we serve up. Yes the umpires have been horrendous, but we are playing dumb football with zero intensity. Soul crushing.

We managed the same thing against this mob last year. 

At least if we lose we snuffed out our own slight finals chance

We lost to a bunch of top ups and has beens earlier this year...

 

But due to the occasion and what was on the line this is a close second

Weideman so far off the pace it's not funny. Tackling is disgraceful and has not improved this aspect this year by the looks of things. 

Lost this game at the selection table, cemented that loss in the psych-ward.

    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,

    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
