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.

That's done it for me I'm an old Vic boy now living in Qld and played at Fitzroy Under 19's with Wilson, Irwin etc in late 60's. I at least can now say I have the Lions up here to follow for rest of year as my heart just can't take this crap from my old team any more.

So the fact that we have had the most players unavailable week to week of any club this season, and up to round 12 (it could be still) of any club in the AFL EVER means nothing to you over-reactive clowns? The single most reliable stat to predict a club’s ladder position is players unavailable week to week, thus through a season. Not speculation or supposition....this is fact. Nobody wants to talk about it because it takes the art discussion out of the game. We are where we are because week to week we have been playing with a decimated list. Brisbane are 2nd for the opposite reason.

Lever on 3AW spewing garbage. “We didn’t compete in the contest for long enough” “we are frustrated” “we competed for the first three quarters”. - it’s all bulltish. It’s rubbish football rhetoric. Tell us about the [censored] skills across the board. Why you make horrendous decisions. He sounds just like Goodwin. He is feeding them his crap

Where are the captains? No onfield presence. Non existent. 

Yep no leadership, it really shows. We missed May’s ability and leadership tonight done back but we need more of it up forward and in the middle. We had Lewis forward and Max in the middle as well as the 2 captains but all we saw was a rudderless shambles. Just don’t know how to explain the  headless chook stuff that went on tonight!

That last play just summed up our year. To many handpasses and fumbled.

At least we kicked straight tonight

Just dumb turnovers by the players, broken tackles and just didn't man up and let the saints players get free to easily. 

The good thing is, as we won't be playing finals we will start pre season earlier so we have time to work on everything that has gone wrong this year. 

On a plus side I thought that was Petracca's best game in ages, if not ever. 

Im not on the sack goodwin bandwagon. Yes if we begin 2020 like we started this year then questions will be raised but the last thing we need is another coaching change and panic. Im wiping this season away and I'm confident next year will be like last year. We will have a fit McDonald back, a fit Melksham who I reckon has been the player we have missed, May I'm pretty sure will have a different pre season than his last few and even VandenBerg would have been handy this year. 

Anyway Im going to cheer myself up and go to you tube and look at highlights from the 2 final victories last year. Just remind myself that we were a good team and we actually put geelong and the hawks out of the finals and I wasn't dreaming it.

Roos developed a defensive working both ways... Goodwin has completely unwound that or the players have .. either Goody should resign or sack the players... what’s occurring is a complete disgrace at this club again. We are the laughing stock of the Afl again!

How many games has this decimated list thrown away due to ineptitude? AFL level players are expected to exhibit AFL standard skills

Whoever made the decision to select Oscar McDonald needs to be sacked immediately. Absolutely unforgivable.

The perfect, time-tested, guaranteed pathway to opposition goals. OMac is absolutely useless and with confidence but bitter disappointment, it is evident that he has cost us many games across the past two years - tonight's performance was yet another. The backline again scrambled to make up the vacancy he creates on the field (when on the field). A total spud.

Would it have hurt to have continued Preuss footy development for the rest of the season.

Of course it wouldn't. Another stupid decision by the match panel. Who would care if we lost whilst getting games into Dunkley, Lockhart, the 2 ruck system in Preuss.

Tonight was just dumb, as a professional football club this was a fail. Lewis, Wagners, OMac. Even Smith who isn't the future. No club in the current environment would've made these selection decisions.

OSCAR McDonald, Wagner's, ANB get the [censored] out of this football club you spuds!

I have been a Goodwin but not anymore! I am done!

Nothing positive to come put of this dreadful performance. 

Maybe one positive, Noah Anderson.

Also we now hold the AFL record for scores off turnovers, to the opposition.

With 5 minutes to go we had conceded 84 points of their 103 from turnovers. That is simply disgusting.

I am not interested in hearing any excuses. We have completely overrated our list. We are lead by a board who has no passion for the club. Goodwin is under the pump. The media are going To Come for him and rightly so. Levers kicking was [censored]. Putrid. The Wagner’s arebte same. 

Champion Data also over-rated the list. According to Channel 7 we were top ranked at the start of the season.

Lots of explaining all round

Is it infectious? There has to be some explanation for this debacle

I actually think Viney has been playing like this for a while. He developed a reputation as a tough-as-nails player but that doesn't mean he has to dive into packs without thinking through what he wants to do.

I woud have kept playing Preuss with strict instruction to run run run. Get him match conditioned this year.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
