Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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.

Actually agree - no one rates -you’ve possibly overstated how good ( bad ) they all were !! Perfect call they were terrible - can’t do the basics like mark. 

My three word summary 

Pathetic - Amateur -Sad !

Fritsch -  our cleanest player

His game wasn't world beating but he won some huge 1/1s and his skills in and around the contest and at ground level were excellent. 

Hunt - Handy up forward. 

Hunt played well up forward, and deserves his spot in the side. Credit where credit is due, he is trying hard to reinvent himself and signs are promising.

Just now, Dr.D said:

that reminds me. kolodjashnij is not a good footballer. not slow, not quick. kicking is hit and miss. questionable courage.

He's playing like a guy who's missed a heap of footy and has also missed the gym. Looked more effective forward than on a wing, and he sure as hell isn't playing down back with his lack of will for the contest.

Right now I'm thinking the best case scenario is getting some VFL in to him and maybe he has another few cracks at games later in the year, he's not lightening which I said when we got him but I think he has enough pace and skill to be something, but he looks entirely like a player who needs another preseason training at a high level before he'll play well.

I'm thinking its time we get back to the draft this year and get in some talent. because we are lacking much.

I agree with some of Joeboy's work, but others are a bit off to my mind. 

Jones - Playing dumb football

Viney - Starting to spark

T. McDonald - Not a #1 forward

O.McDonald - Kept losing man

Jetta - career worst game

Hibberd - just a shadow

Brayshaw - only shining light

Gawn - should have dominated

Harmes - Puts in effort

Oliver - Take the shot!  

Hunt - Brave and threatening

Fritsch - Must play forward

Petracca - Take The Shot!!!

Lockhart - Lively but limited

Salem - Only decent kick

Melksham - Terrible hands

Weideman - Can kick straight

Kolodjashnij - Brave.  Getting better. 

C.Wagner - Not the worst

J. Wagner - Hopeless. 

Frost - [censored] weak contests

Neal -Bullen - continued underwhelming season

I really like this three word summary, JB. Thanks. I'd add:

Backs:

1. Guard a man

2. One man up

Mids:

1. Run both ways

2. Kick to us

Forwards:

1. Make some space

2. Mark one, occasionally

Coaches:

1. Are you blind?

2. Earn your pay

Agree:

backs one man up just drives me crazy!

mids run both ways, in particular Jones just awful example as Captain, I’m above chasing!

forwards make some space, agree 100%, don’t all run to same space!

coaches: Backline disorganised, would love to hear from someone who attends training, they can’t possibly coach lets all fly together?

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
