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.

Winning is still very important.....

Sadly there are potentially three more wins left SWYL for this year. Sadly both the above are in serious danager.

Cool, let's play Max until he suffers a major injury from overwork and then maybe we can give Preuss a run.

I'm tipping Maxy won't play. 

Having said that there is no guarantee that Preuss will be his replacement. ?

This mob beat Brisbane a few weeks so they are no easy beats for us. On top of that a change of coach has them looking interested on the field. Dees by a point if things go our way. 

I would generally agree, but with no Cripps, McKay or Charlie Curnow we really should wipe the floor with this mob, despite our current malaise.

Momentum and confidence are funny things in sport though.

Agree, it's got late withdrawal written all over it.

 

Still don't know why all the talls.

Maybe a few more late withdrawals

or they'll play May and Frost as smalls.

I'll stop now before this it turns into a poem.

Probably what Freo thought last week Dr. and we know how that ended.

Unfortunately it has been worse than ever this year.

I have no  idea about what the boards KPIs are for pert and so no real sense of how he is travelling as CEO. Except in regard to communication.  

Communication and supporter engagement is critical for teams long terms success and viability. i would argue it is never more critical than when a team i struggling. And responsibility for communication falls squarely at the feet of the CEO.

Really it is beyond ridiculous that the Pert could publicly say we are aiming for 70, 000 members (which is fine in of itself) and then allow our communication to be so woeful. I mean talk about a disconnect. 

I have been banging on about this for years now. Time for me to put my money where my mouth is. I will go to the next AGM and ask why our communication has been so poor and what they plan to do about it. 

I endorse this post x 2

You can even tell them you are "Ding from Demonland" if you dont want your rep tarnished.

Mine is already rubbish so i dont have anything to lose.

In fairness the club said he will be named and train Saturday before a final decision will be made.

The member survey just arrived via email. There's quite a chunk on club communication. 

I suggest you (all) have your say on the matter.

I scored it very low. But not the staff on the membership line, they are always polite and helpful.

The son and heir is getting married tomorrow and there's a shindig on Sunday. I have been instructed that I won't be at the game.

Losing this has the potential to put a downer on a big weekend.  

But it's only footy, right...

They've got to be taking Max out. If they were going to play him surely they'd pick a proper second ruck and limit his minutes on the ball.

Smells like a hamfisted scheme to me.

Still no Preuss ?‍♂️ 

WT complete F?

Poor old Preuss reminds me of when kids are choosing who they want on their team when they are playing a game among themselves. He is the big overgrown awkward kid hovering at the back of the smaller, more popular kids, his face getting more and more crestfallen as everyone is getting picked instead of him. Finally, he is the only one left and the captain of one of the teams (in movies this is usually the star, the kid who has his own battles with the bully of the story) is forced to take him on, with no conviction that this big lug is going to be any help at all to his cause. 

Does Preuss wait until there is no one left to pick? Hope not!

I guess we’ll know at 2pm tomoz as to whether or not Max is playing, with Preuss named in the vfl

Unless, of course, they decide in their infinite wisdom to ruck T Mac and Weed in tandem...

Like most I’m expected Jones and Gawn late outs for Preuss and pick a Wagner, any Wagner (probably Josh, to play back, with Lewis in as a midfield rotation)

Believe that Preuss will be held over regardless. They can still pull Max out right up until game time.

    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.

    DEMONLAND: Good evening, Demon fans and welcome to the Demonland 2024 Grand Final Podcast … It’s been a beautiful last day of September and how sweet it is to bring you our coverage of all things that matter about the great Demon resurgence which we’ve seen over the past six or seven months.
