Posting Unsubstantiated Rumours on this Website is Strictly Forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    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 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.


GAME DAY - Round 5, 2017

OMG How does Neil Bullen get a game? What an idiot. Hasn't hit a target all night & brain fades continually.

The 6 tackles - leading the side yet again - have something to do with it.  He's also had it 14 times and not all of those were woeful.

But as usual, all we can remember is the last kick.

ANB should never play again.

We should be 20 points up but thats life. Big effort needed in the 2nd half specially being a player down plus a proppy Spencer.

ANB gives Richmond all the momentum when they come out for the 3rd quarter. I hope this isn't going to be Freo all over again.

Didn't we do it against the Cats also?

Only Watts and Hibberd have any decent  kicking skills.

Scarey.

Loved Hibs goal.

He owned it. I like that

JKH has looked a mile off. One good mark but the rest has been poo.

ANB has done a couple of good things but just lacks composure. That last kick was as bad as Fitzy's tunnel ball.

Oh, and Melksham has been good. I questioned his retention but have liked his game so far.

His skills are below par for sure, but "huge liability" is ridiculously over the top.  We're winning this game because of midfield and half forward pressure, and he is a key ingredient to that.  

Unless you're arguing in favour of One Tackle Kent, it's not really that much of a wonder he's in the side.

Watch Richmond closely. All of their entries come from transition. They are quick and direct, and confident in their scoring ability. We look to chain together 2-3 handballs before a kick. We still don't use the first option, which was an issue that persisted in the Roos years. Richmond have looked similarly average as Freo was in the first half last week, but look at what happened. Geelong killed us in transition and scored every time they went forward. 

Something very weird about Goodwin's attacking structure here. We are losing games rather than the opposition winning them. This game has the same makings of the Geelong and Freo game.

We are in a world of hurt. All Hardwick has to say is how [censored] have we been,  make work of them next half. This half will let us know if we are demons or not

Yeah, I'd back him. He made a blue but let's see how he responds.

    DEE-RUBBING by George on the Outer

    For the second week in a row, the Demons had to endure some particularly oppressive match conditions — this time, playing in 30 degree temperatures at the MCG, following the humid sticky Sydney atmosphere of last week.   The warmer conditions didn’t seem to worry the Dee’s since the ball was so much easier to handle, and handle it with surety they did in handing out a 45 point drubbing to the much fancied Western Bulldogs.   After a slow start that saw the Dogs out to

    CROSSING THE PICKETT LINE by The Oracle

    Melbourne’s performance in losing its Round Zero contest in Sydney has certainly caused the club, the coach and the players to come firmly under the watchful eye of the football world and exposed all of its aspects to a microscopic lens.   Much of the commentary surrounding them has been less than complimentary and, while some might argue that this is unfair after only one round, leaving aside some of the scuttlebutt that surrounds a lot of the discussion around the game, a fair amoun
