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.

Jetta - looked painfully slow

May - effective and talented

O. Mac - was not embarrassing 

Lockhart - showed some promise

Hibbert - disposals were costly

Harmes - lost in defense 

Lever - an encouraging display

Langdon - prolific but wasteful 

Petracca - classy but sporadic

Thomlinson - had little influence

Viney - former captain’s game

Oliver - didn’t appear interested

Gawn - was easily outmuscled

Brayshaw - little to commend

Neal-Bullen - couldn’t justify selection

T.McDonald - played without passion

Pickett - impressive debut game

Melksham - was hardly sighted

Brown - performance to forget

Bedford - far from ready 

Spargo - embarrassingly inept performance 

Fritsch - never appeared likely

Spargo WHY??

3 TURNOVER GOALS

Not and never will be up to it!

Not his fault... MFC Coaching .... down to you SIMON!!

I thought you were a bit harsh on him but you were right he's not up to it and never will be, sadly we have quite a few that are not up to it.

I’d love to know what was going on with Oliver and TMac - both of them looked absolutely knackered from the first bounce. They each had the look of someone who has been ill.

To be fair, he was pretty good against the Hawks in the last Marsh series game. Sadly though, the intensity went up another level and he wasn't able to cope.

Agreed, and Max too. They looked physically or mentally tired from the start.  I'm curious why?

I think 'impossible' is a bit of a Steven Stretch.  Who was cast into impossible situations?  Travelling teams?  All teams?  Just the MFC?

If Melbourne accepted the Mission Impossible; I guess we can convince ourselves that West Coast thrived on Mission Improbable.  What we saw in that game was a replica of 2019's standard.

 

As for Joeboy's generosity...and against-all-odds predicaments....

Dom Tyson currently shaking his head, and thinking "didn't I dislocate my knee cap on camp horribilis and continued squatting, jogging, kneeling through incline and decline.  Now that is an impossible situation".

 

 

Joeboy, unlike Dom, I rush to this after every game.  This has always been the modicom of clarity and objectivity on this site.  If this is the new you, you might get more likes, but at the risk of selling your soul.

THE Summary of the 3 word is spot on But it is hard to play in a side that firstly has to counter elite disposal and organisation look again at the First Quarter we just Butchered the Ball and took wrong Options  our new Players also need some time to Adjust to our style exception Picket and Langdon 

I would spend the next 8 weeks drilling the players on creating Space backing up another and use of the Ball BETTER one thing the West Coast Juicers have is a System we dont however we can  BY just drilling it in to the players remember we had more use of the Ball 

I feel sorry for our Forwards but they too dont lead or organise correctly WCoast can be beaten if it becomes one on one .

Next Game be Daring Play Weidman Jackson Jones and Salem ( all can Kick)and persist  with them dont Play Tomlison on a Wing but down Back he could become elite with Lever and May play Petracca in the middle Oliver on a Flank Harmes as a tagger and Melksham as a defensive Forward Fritsch at FF

Kozzzy Pickett

I was super impressed in game number 1.  Hope the coaches don’t overthink how he should play.  Pressure. Tackle. Crumb. Attack. Kick goals.  That’s it  !

In 3 words...

love the energy

impressive debut game 

ignite the flame

Indeed did exceed expectations and can't believe his and Toby's   goal did not rate in the Goal of the Year.

Toby promising -and not our worst by any means.

Brown too fumbly and couldn't catch a cold Not strong enough in contest.

Langdon Great runner but really needs to uplift decision making to forwards as do most of Dees mids.

Tomlinson Often  got caught between The West Coast Speedsters. Let's see over longer period as great vs Hawks in Marsh 2.

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you his observations from this morning's Captain's Run including some hints at the changes for our ANZAC Eve clash against the Tigers. Sunny, though a touch windy, this morning, 23 of them no emergencies.  Forwards out first. Harrison Petty, JvR, Jack Billings, Kade Chandler, Kozzy, Bayley Fritsch, and coach Stafford.  The backs join them, Steven May, Jake Lever, Woey, Judd McVee, Blake Howes, Tom McDonald

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim
