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.

MFC - dumb football club

MFC - lost winnable game

MFC - not very smart

I think today give us so many chances and I think the players will think it was “an honourable loss”. 

I agree Joeboy was harsh on Lockhart. He’s having a crack.

Hannan - was he playing???

Hannan obviously is working his way into fitness after a long stint on the sidelines, buts it's been several weeks now and he just looks miles off.

18 negatives. And we only went down by 8 points.   ?????

ANB : Lacks Pysical Strength

Lewis : Provided some leadership

Jones : the wicket was too bouncy

Preuss: the ball was too slippery

Hunt : Think and move

Dunkley : Learning

Lockart : Learning all the time. Make tackle stick

Brayshaw : Out of position

Viney : Improving

Clarrie: When giving ball by hand ,important to stay around the contested area.

Frost and Fritsch : Costly brain fades

Hibberd, May, Salem : Nucleus of our defence

I stopped reading this thread ages ago, occasionally have a squiz to see if the irrelevance is still there, the comment re Salem confirms this

Question remains did @joeboy actually watch the game?

Mate, I agree with you that the assessment of Salem seems harsh, but why not just say "I actually thought Salem was good and here's why..." rather than taking a pot shot at someone on the internet that you don't know? Doesn't get anyone anywhere taking the personal approach.

I don't normally play either but why not.....my players 

Jones: 7 costly turnovers

Brayshaw: Time for Casey

Jetta: Was never going to be ready (haven't the FD learnt yet?)

Fritsch: 50% Efficiency.....ouch!

Lewis:  Stopping development progress

Hannan: Dear oh dear

Preuss: not fit enough

Well what I find interesting from your 3 word summary, is that most of them are negative. Combine that with some charity goals to the Dogs and 14 players unavailable for us and yet we only lost by 8 points at the Dogs dung heap, on a day when they were celebrating their survival 30 years ago and needed to win to keep their final's chances alive.

I find that pretty amazing.

Got news for you.  Frosty has been among the better for many weeks now.  Even the Frost bashes have gone silent. 

As far as Hannan is concerned, there was no cake and no icing today, as there hasn’t been since his return many weeks ago!

Agree with Jetta.  Terribly underdone.  Needed at least another one at Casey.  Another obvious selection mistake which required no hindsight as so many queried it pre game.

Oh wait, are you saying he was playing? I didn’t realise. I’ll have to go back and watch the game and try and find him.

Yeh he was about 4 rows back from fence. Never wanted to get near ball so sat in stands.

Not today 'joeboy', his worst in a while.

Thought he was one of our better players...saved a couple of certain goals & generally used the ball well.

A few weeks back when he copped a knock early was his worst game...you knew something was wrong when he couldn't hit a target.

Has done a job the last 2 weeks, Simpson last week & JJ today. Kept them quiet but does seem to be playing sore so may need a rest.

    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.
