  • 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.

Hoskin-Elliot was impressive. Should improve with more football. He has some great skills. Few kicks turned over, but is a real player - no doubt. Funny to see some pot him on here, clearly they didn't watch the game tonight, or know much about football.

 

he has his moments, but he's pretty outside

It's funny, I tipped Richmond but them winning went almost exactly as I expected. Collingwood shooting themselves in the foot, Richmond having good enough flashes to get he job done. I doubt either teams fans would look at this  and feel confident for the year. 

Happy I got the tip though!

Need Bucks to win some games before the break, dont want him to be fired.  With him as coach and Eddie as president they will stay mediocre forever.    Shows how great Malthouse was for them,  easy to forget as he was so bad as Carlton coach.

Unless they get pipped by St Kilda or the Hawks.

Incidentally I'm pretty sure I heard the commentators say something about the pies being 0-8 playing on Thursday nights. Keep giving that time slot! :lol:

I didn't even see the game and that's still funny. Assume there's no need to chase up a replay?

Unless you want to laugh at the absolute butchery in the first 3 quarters, give it a miss. 

There were a few goals in the last 15 when it opened up a bit. But compared to almost every game in round 1 it was truly horrible. I wish we played either of them tonight. Me and you that is KK, we would've beat them.

What a pathetic crowd for two teams that have so many members.

If Melbourne had as many members and supporters as these two teams we'd get 80,000 people per game.

Gee I think you are being a little tough on them Clint.

58 000 on a Thursday night ain't that bad. It was Thursday night, people have to work the next day and kids go to school etc.

As well Thursday nights are about the Broadcast rights not attendance.

They have plenty of inside, he should complement them well, and he did a couple of nice things last night but he does need to develop a little something extra.

Its funny as Buck finally looks comfortable being a coach and delegating to his deputies and yet he could be gone pretty quickly if the players performance really drops off a cliff.

You are very wrong my friend. One would reasonably  think neither team would be up and about but oh my oh my  the tiger mates i know are excited/delusional.

Its good though, it makes their eventual downfall much much sweeter. Bring on anzac eve

    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
