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.

The only thing worse in Football than Cameron Ling on special comments, is Cameron Ling on special comments during a Geelong game

Cameron Ling working with Jab Watson is pretty bad. Add in Yobbo Brayshaw who sounds the same on MMM and the “other” McLachlan

What a mess. Like an over filled Pizza ?

Look at Richmond forward line. Revolt is getting past it and players like Castagna are a waste. They rely too heavily on Lynch. Constantly relying on players like Bolton for goals is hit or miss. Hawthorn are a pain in the khyber and I wish they would go away but they won't.

Their forward line hasn’t been great so far, but I’d kill to have their forward line. Would swap ours for basically any other at this point!

Tigers really struggling in the midfield tonight. Just can’t control the ball. Pickett really struggling with speed of the game.

Tigers totally outplayed yet had one less scoring shot and kicked I think 2 goals 6 from set shots and those set shots weren’t difficult. Now we regularly kicked the same from set shots last year and reckon it cost us about 4 games. Can’t work out why they don’t put more store into goal kicking accuracy. It wins games.

Frost bashers where are you????? Big big mistake letting him go. A Rolls Royce at the Hawks, didn't miss a target tonight and never got caught holding the ball.

What does this say about our coaching group? FML.

Clarkson has assembled a good squad again. Plenty of talent.  Frost and Frawley are certainly very capable key tall defenders. They look familiar!!!!! 
 

Their worry is midfield pace and smaller players yet the Tigers slipped and fumbled all night. Did not take their chances. Circa their pre 2017 form.

Kicking long to a pack will bring efficiency down, didn't miss a 15-25 meter kick. Big big mistake exactly what were missing, Smith ain't a backman's bullet hole sorry to say.

This time last year you would have said that we have passed the likes of hawks and North but no we're in our usual position playing all the kids in round 2.

What is this curse they call the MFC

It is called Diamond Jim curse - all the kids have a look at the 4 ins to the squad - we have more talent than those mobs give it some time we’ve played West Coast in Perth in 30 degrees and bizarre circumstances and obliterated the Blues in first half and won game - biggest problem is negative supporters who talk about some curse get over it marshmallow north supporter

This was always likely, anyone watching Frost over his journey could see he was progressively limiting his clangers and increasing his zingers, if that is a word to describe his extraordinary athletic and often audacious dashes out of defence. He was always a defensive weapon just had to work to his strengths, size and speed and limit his kicking errors. In a well organised defence it seems it is working.

A brief reminder that last week Hawthorn lost by 10 goals and looked just as bad as Richmond did tonight.

Not sure I agree with the "Clarkson is a genius", "Frost is great", "Hawthorn are so good" stuff going on in here. The COVID break means that, I think, we need to see 3-4 weeks of football before we start drawing conclusions on sides.

Meanwhile, Richmond tonight looked like us at our worst. Repeat inside 50s but never looked liked scoring, opening up their back half for Hawthorn to cut them open and every time Hawthorn went forward they looked like scoring. See above as to why I wouldn't be prematurely writing them off yet.

(PS: if we win on Sunday we'll be above Richmond on the ladder...).

I thought the same...I thought we had changed into Richmond jumpers.

I think the Tiges are suffering a bit of the old premiership hangover.

They're not as good as their publicity will have them believe.

Good old Jack struttin' around preening himself but doing nothing else.

Rioli lucky to have 3 kicks in the last 2 games.

Pickett, great story last year but looks out of his depth as do a number of others.

If you're off your game in this competition it makes you look stupid and they looked it tonight.

Be interesting to see if they can break out of it or go the way of the Dogs...

Mate. He kicked into his own players back from 3m away at one point.

P.s. would have gladly kept him

    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
