  • 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.

There is a rule specifically prohibiting staging for a free kick.  Surely the MRP have the authority to review that decision and suspend him for that?  It was quite literally a dive. 

Yyaaaa like that will happen, even though the commentators all called it as a dive... I hark back to G a few a years ago, the Viney tackle on him the G fwd pocket.. Viney smashed him, he staged for a free, didn't get one then peaked out from under his hands the ball spill in his direction and miracle of miracles up he pops to kick one of the goals of the year.

At least two of his goals have been from weak free kicks in front of goal. 

Ok then ET

To be honest, I never even notice the umpiring.  It's so f/ed up that it's not worth worrying about.  In an odd way, it kinda evens itself out. 

It used to do my head in and now I don't care.

I hope that one day I can let go and not care about the umpiring.

It comes with age.

Or it doesn't.

Adelaide and Sydney grinding themselves down is far better than having Adelaide blow Geelong away, for a Richmond fan imo.

No....  he is not that detailed in his thought process.

Sydney you could argue were red hot favourites coming into finals.

They are currently getting flogged by Geelong

Richmond flogged Geelong last week

Therefore....

Cant believe how politically correct football has become.Punching a ball into the crowd and you give away 50metres.Afl is  overgoverned by [censored] umpires.

Blame the lefties, someone, somewhere may have been offended by the punch.

Wow 7 goals.  Who would have seen this coming especially a week ago. 

Just a shame they didn't do it a week ago and beat Richmond. 

Because tonights lousy Geelong MCG picnic atmosphere has been something you'd want in a prelim against GWS/WCE ?

How is Rohan on an AFL list let alone getting a game? Ginger on fire.

Currently has a 1.4 goal avg this year,  perhaps that? doesnt seem to do much else though. Goes missing a lot. Has a random game every now and then where he runs rampant.

4 goals to 3/4 time.....unbelievable really, and cats down a backman.....I cant figure out Geelong...but i REALLY cant figure out Sydney!

Much like us, if you put enough pressure on the midfielders they fall apart.  You'd almost think we have the same game plan or something.

It's not about political correctness, its about wasting time. If there was 10 seconds to go in a game, you'd probably want the ball in your players hand to deliver it inside 50 rather than having to wait for fans to dig it out from under their seats.

I gave the cats a chance tonight but never ever thought they would get out to this margin. 

Thankgod the swans played badly tonight and not last week. 

But I do admire the way geelong have responded. They were humiliated last week and they have come out tongiht to prove  apoint. 

Next week Danger going back to the adelaide in a prelim against his old team for a spot in the big one. That should add something to it.

    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

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f
