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.

Petracca is 6th in the league in disposals per game.   His 24.5 average would be closer to 30 touches a game in a normal season without shortened quarters.

Oh by the way, Oliver is 3rd.

What a combo these two are!

Like a fine wine I believe we are seeing the true Tracca.

The Mfc and a few here saw and believed his potential. His work and effort is reaping rewards. I hope he continues to chart these performances and become one of t he best

Good win, but we need to back it up. Hawthorn are in a different place to us. We need to beat a team in the 8 before we start thinking we are out of Hell. Its a good start and the game was enjoyable to watch.

The season is still alive, which is cool, but that is all so far

We are in the middle now

Probably been said before, but the structural and personnel changes to allow Fritsch to play third tall forward and Lever third tall back have made a mountain of difference. Let’s keep it that way, please. That and our sustained fierce tackling and pressure warmed my heart today.

Correct, it’s not rocket surgery.

3-3 and we’ve played 3 of the top 5 from last year. The season is alive!

thank Christ coz we all need it at the moment

Gawn and Trac are the two best players I’ve seen play in a MFC jumper for at least 15 years. 

Trac turned 24 years old this year! The next 150 games will be awesome

Interesting comment thanks we beat Gold Coast who were and are in the 8 Carlton in the 8 this week should’ve beaten Top side Port today - agree Hawks in a different place but great club and Clarko dangerous any time but particularly after the pressure this week - don’t underestimate the win today and the talent on our list.  We just need to stay healthy keep up the effort and we can beat anyone - I’m suspecting we’re about to get on a roll ....and we have a game up our sleeve v Essendon who we will [censored] on a fast track in Queensland

To me, watching the past 2 weeks this has been a side that was quite disadvantaged by the postponement of the bombers game. You can see it all coming together with being able to get some continuity of playing.

Have been hard on the Weid but loved the way he attacked the contest today and presented at the ball carrier. His best game for the club I reckon, better than the final. Ha d to lead the attack today and he did. Jackson was a bonus also.

People on here during the Port Carlton game complaining that sides had gone past us, nothing of the sort. Just means how close the season is.

Bring on Brisbane, we might not beat them but there's no reason why we can't. Oh and TMac might have to sit on the bench for a few weeks.

Special mention to the bloke in the crowd who yelled out "Good one Harmesy" when Melksham kicked his goal midway through the third.

Thought the crowd was way better than the manufactured noise

Quite happy about that.  This was everything that we've been crying out for in our side. 

It seems like they're finally getting the balance right in the side.  The addition of Langdon, Bennell and Pickett give us some pace and skill to compliment the raw grunt, Oscar down back frees up Lever and May to play their natural games and Weid plays a more traditional full-forward game than T-Mac which helps the forward structure and gives us a moving target.  Some of the passes to the lead were sublime today, none better than the bullet from May that bounced of Jackson's chest. 

It was very interesting seeing the more senior players going out of their way to give goals to the first year players.  Even the Weid declined a set shot directly in front of goal to give Jackson a freeby. 

I'm also thrilled with the vision Bennell is showing.  I don't care if he's not enough of a contested beast for Goodwin.  That's not what he was hired for and trying to turn him into another inside animal is pointless.  He's in the side for the damage he can do with the ball, not for his tackling and contested ball-winning.  His hand pass through a mob of Hawks to create a goal was sublime.

I could easily write about the performance of our Hollywood midfield.

But instead I am going to make special mention of Oscar McDonald. I've been incredibly hard on this kid but he's proved me wrong and making me eat humble pie. He's a complete different player and it's no coincidence that May and Lever are back to their best.

Well done Oscar, you've shut me up for good.

Kozzie and Jackson are going to be something else huh...

The Omac wars are nearly over.

Jnrmac is waiting at the station, has bought his ticket and reckon is close to jumping on board the Oscar train.

Just need stevethemanjordon to make a demonland comeback and board that train too.

Just home from our new fortress Giants stadium. What a delight to see 2 wins in a row. We were absolutely sublime. I cant speak again voice shattered and the experience so the much better for having Hawks supporters there. Max was immense as was Trac but it was a whole team performance. Some great support for Oscar as well with one supporter near us confessing very loudly he was wrong about Oscar.

Great win but where has this type of play been for the past 18 mths. Kicking to a team mate and hitting the target, good to finally see it. 
 

Amazing now we are doing it we are playing better.

    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
