  • 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.

I wonder whether the reviewers thought the question was which side of the post it went through. They made that decision awfully quickly with only one camera angle.

Just saw an angle that has me changing my mind (yes miracles can happen), I was wrong there, did go through goals

Classic Jenkins. Said post match he thought ball touched the post. 

Definitely went through the goals as you can see the shadow of the ball goal side. Wouldn’t have a clue if it snuck the post though.

I am not worried what other teams are doing. If we just keep winning.

If we lose, we are still not good enough

i think our midfield is ready to kill, time will tell if i am right. 

Port lost to Adelaide - great. Swans to account for Collingwood - game just started. We trash GCoast tomorrow. He comes position 3 on the ladder. Fingers crossed.

Luke Darcy just said that Jenkins thought it hit the post.  Honest but seriously dumb by Jenkins.  Should have said 'umpire was in the best position to decide'.

Crows win was good. It is really obvious why we let Watts go. He does nothing especially when it is tight.

I hope the filth win as it may knock the stuffing out of the swans but I think the swans will win. 

Awkward timing to say that when we are about to play Gold Coast in a must-win game late in the season!

Having said that, I think you're quite right, and while I've never hated Watts it became obvious the moment I started thinking about our forward line without him. He just doesn't quite... do... anything in particular.

Sorry Trav but that pic shows it in front of the goals. Can just see the point of the ball in front of the post

That being said, I think it hit the post.

assuming a win tomorrow next week is a big one.

GWS V Adelaide, Port v West Coast and us against the Swans.

Will definitely be a heart stopping weekend

 

 Adelaide can still make 8 so they will go for broke next week

Great round of footy.

I was adamant of it too, but on Ch7 I just saw and angle I hadn’t previously seen, on that it seems to go through goals and is clearest angle I have seen

The ball certainly went through the goal posts. Did it shave the post?

The Camera angles cannot be conclusive (what a joke)

Umpires call was a goal.

Sydney have to win tonight. For a few reasons, so the pies can be knocked out of the top 4, they get ahead of the teams below them like cats, nth, essenscum and im sick of hearing abut the pies winning. 

anyway is anyone watching the game of the round Saints v Bulldogs? Saints have started well and I reckon they will beat the dogs. 

Well done hawks today. I just watched the last 2 minutes off the afl site. I think it makes it sweeter they lost by a small margin. I couldn't help myself. I had to go over to bomberblitz for a laugh.

Darcy Moore being given a bath by Franklin so far.

Saved by the siren from yet another loss in a one on one marking comp.

Obviously missing Dunn.

Anybody's game but it does not look up to the standard of the other games based on the first quarter.

Yeah with you on that. Hard fought game but the skill level is lacking. I'm on the Swans. I just can't barrack for Collingwood sorry.

Kind of want Sydney to win this. Think positive I want the best chance at top 4. 

I really believe we are a genuine chance in all 4 of our games.

I;m with you @GCDee - we have form in the west - particularly as they're depleted - we match up rather well.

I think on body of work for the year - we should get up over sydney - irrespective of what happens in our and their match.

And I think in the case of the GWS - they;ve got more class and outside (which can kill us) but we should go alright up forward - it's contingent on planning and execution (as i guess it is every week(.

Jenkins is not any sort of umpire, so his opinion is irrelevant.The umpires followed accepted procedures and the reviewer saw no reason to contradict the umpires call. Nothing would be done now to overturn it even if there is evidence it hit the top of the point post. game over

Port play west coast in Adelaide next week with a few showers forecast.  I don’t rate Port that highly but hopefully they’ll make it a slog next week.

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

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.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    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
