    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 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.

We should learn from past mistakes IMO Petracca is like a few we have had shows  brilliance against poorer sides but not up to it against good sides. Use him as a trade to get a good player who gives every week. Before we have another Watts situation.

Stupid, Petracca is way better than Watts, he’s gonna be a 200+ game player for Demons

We must have lost by 20 goals!!

They were all hopeless according to Joeboy!

Worse.  We did everything we could possibly think of to hand them the game and still only lost by nine points.  The entire team were diabolical and they still almost fluked the win.  They actually WORKED at losing.  The put effort into it.

Season ending loss

Another wasted year

Out coached again

Flat track bullies

Mediocrity prevails again

Continue to disappoint

Down hill skiers

Poor decision making

Aren’t good enough

Wayward kicking again

Athletes, NOT footballers

Lack genuine desire

Start planning 2019

New coaches required

We lack leadership

To the tune of Ob-la-Di-la-da!

’the AFL has a basketcase

got Jackson in to lend a hand

he got Roos and we began to sing and Bartlett came in to manage the band.

goodys a good coach when we win

bur doesn’t seem to have a good plan B

we all pull our hair out and whinge and moan

Demanding someone on the ground to lead

So at the end of such a day - 

sing ob-la-DEE-la-da (hopefully we win the next two!)

Does that not tell you there is a serious problem with the average level of talent ? 

That argument is tripe.  If we were blown-off-the-park by top 8 sides, then I would join in the SEN chorus.  Fact is we have lost to Geelong twice, Port, Sydney in the last minute, despite dominating I50 and/or scoring shots.  Without McDonald, we pushed Richmond for 3 quarters.

 

I am thinking beyond scoreboard.  Time for our supporters to try it too.

 

There aint much wrong with what we are doing, and ladder improvement is rarely linear.

Petracca IS a no show when needed against class. A la yesterday running into open goal in first couple of minutes and overthinking/panicking/wrong option....... Take your pick. Against the Suns he was great but so he should have been.

20 possessions yesterday and 5 critical errors. Huge potential?  

Really? He has the most work to do for 2019 which will be a make or break season for him.

There is one fact you keep ignoring we are not good enough to beat better sides we have lost everyone. Lost get it not good enough to win. As for not doing much wrong who was the rocket scientist who thought playing Hunt was a good idea? He has been poor all year played most of it at Casey, then an extended period injured then one average game at Casey and Inspite of the coach saying it is too early and is picked. That turned out well. We are doing lots wrong or we would be winning.

It tells me a few things...

We can't cover the loss of serious high end talent...Lever, Hibberd.

We are also trying to cover the loss of another couple for handy players in Viney and Melksham.

Our match winners are still too inexperienced against the best teams.

As far as talent goes we are not a complete list and need to invest in another class mid, defender and serious small forward. Also need proper back up for Max, he's had to carry way too much load this season and needs a break that we can't afford to give him.

There you go, without trying too hard you've mentioned another reason.

Selection has been an issue all season.

I also think you are being a bit harsh on Petracca...I don't think he will be the superstar many had hoped for but his is a good contributor and streets ahead of serious underachievers like Watts and Silvia.

We will agree to disagree on Petracca, grossly overrated IMO. It is going to be a interesting October when the new CEO takes over. He has no commitment to anyone in the FD. I reckon there are going to be a number of changes.

We know that's a recipe for disaster.

Well as you said our selections this year have left room for considerable improvement. How do we play a guy like JKH for weeks when he is clearly not up to AFL level. I am no fan of Bugg but he is clearly better value than JKH.

Hope so. This lot a chummy little group who've been left to there own devices. The FD isn't too of the heap.

I'm not advocating the CEO run footy...but happy for him to seriously review its capabilities.

Hate to harp on Harris but he was symbolic of our real nature. An instance comes to mind. Think it the 3rd. The ball in middle to be bounced,He comes off the bench runs to the half back area..... He seemed totally lost , confused...at sea as to what to do...who to pick up etc..

The Ball is bounced Sydney outnumbered us at the contest...JKH still not involved or covering anyone.

That's Melbourne ;)

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    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,
