  • 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.

Ben Browns stats look inflated. 3/4 of his goals were from frees. (One where he faked it and another earnt by his team mate).

Finally agree with you on something. 

Hhhmmm who played on him all game..... the Grouch! Didn’t have many but if it wasn’t for some gifts he would have would have put Brown in the bin.

Today I was reminded of the sage words of tennis great Vitas Geralaitus. He beat Jimmy Connors after Connors had beaten him 16 times in a row. At the post match press conference he said:

And let that be a lesson to you all. Nobody beats Vitas Gerulaitis 17 times in a row."

One official hoodoo remains to conquer? 

It's the longest hoodoo in the league since 1964.

No.26 was way worse BB.  Would rate up there as one of the worst performances ever, mostly non-decisions though so he will not be scrutinised.  Should be sent to a country league for 12 weeks!

Not only did we win.....we stuck the trident a long way up!!   I can finally say we now have ourselves a genuine AFL football team that can run with the top 6!  And no Norf isn't that but that was the biggest hoo doo in the AFL and we just wiped it clean!

The LID is well and truly off guys!!!!

Bar the first 15 mins it was a very solid team performance. 

I can't remember the last time we have played tempo footy like we did in the last. At the game I felt we went a bit early, but realistically we were in complete control. 

A very mature performance.

Sorry, don't get it that people are only just waking up to Wagner.  I don't think he's a super fancy sort of player, but in my view he probably played abut as well today as the other games he's played this year.  What I like about him is that he's pretty hard at it, tough, seems to move around the ground pretty well and has got decient disposal.  I do recall a couple of bad defensive plays he was involved with against Geelong, but just look at how we were letting them move the ball into their attacking 50 that day.

Some comments on the match:

The umpiring, particularly in the first quarter, was abysmal.  It may have been the worst I have seen.

Hats off to Jones - I thought he was poor last week, but he was som much more composed and really valuable contributor.

Lewis (aka Grandpa) did some good things, but goes to ground too much and stays there.  Was not disgraced today.

GAWN.  Nothing else on this.  GAWN.

Trac and Hogan - really stepping up.

Bugg - heart in the mouth, only butchered one!

Kent - showed his value.  Ran hard, worked harder.

Our inside 50 work was a mess.  Early we bombed it to a contest, later we simply overpossessed it inside the arc.  If we can clean this up, we will be much better.

North are rabble.  From about the 6th minute in the last, they were cooked.

Majak daw can take a mark, but he is as dumb as a weet-bix with the footy.

4 points.  Good job.

Jordan Lewis was very very good today.

If not for those silly umpires it would’ve been a ten goal win.

Best performance in the Red & Blue for mine.... waited a while for that one but great timing!

Summed it up pretty well to me.

We dominated so much after quarter time, but failed to capitalize quite as much as we really should have, but given the history of things, 4 points is what really matters.

    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

I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
