Posting Unsubstantiated Rumours on this Website is Strictly Forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    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 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.

I have been watching this garbage for well over 50 years with very few breaks of sunshine. Tonite was disgusting. 

And they save their worst for prime time TV.
Just love humiliating their supporters.

We got 3 weeks of applying physical pressure to our opponents after the players got called out by the media...which is 1 or 2 more weeks than i expected. So we should be happy really. Funnily enough we managed the kick some goals those weeks.

Goes to show just how much passion this group has for the club and the supporters though doesn't it. They'll have a crack for a bit if they get called out publicly...but the idea of giving that sort of effort week in week out is unthinkable.

Unimpeachable truth.

Dunno if it's passion, only Trac seems to want to be the best player he can be and do everything he can for this to happen. Would love to know how hard some players work on their weaknesses. They seem to just rely on the talent that got them there

Trac should go to a top line club before his talents are wasted.

I cannot recall a game of football where one team showed such woeful skills. There was no connection. the field kicking was dreadful. we could not string together 3 possessions and we did not run to spread. we also gave away stupid frees and did not stick tackles.

Did I miss anything?

 

I just finished watching one of the weakest most pitiful efforts in the red and blue ever.

Let me help you....

Belief, Spirit, Skills, Grunt, Polish, Finish, Smarts, Genuine Forwards, Pressure, Pressure inside 50, Connection (everywhere), ACCOUNTABILITY (almost everywhere), Passion, Love of the Game, TEAM WORK, Skills, LEADERSHIP.

We are [censored].  I would shift Goody aside on the quiet and get Richardson to takeover as the silent caretaker and start the search for a new SENIOR EXPERIENCED coach now behind the scenes and clean the entire coaching group out bar a few newbies at year's end.  This is a failed FD we are watching turn to crud on the field before our very eyes.

The team needs a significant clean out as well at year's end.  Some awefull players on this list who need to be moved on.  Did we just re-sign Fritsch for two more years?  My gosh that's already looking shakey.

There were some try hards out there tonight and some who at least gave a yelp but boy oh boy is this club flakey.   As flakey as it gets both on and off the field.

As far as i'm concerned, any chance we had of turning the sinking ship around walked out the door with Roos & PJ, ably assisted with the appointment of one very ordinary coach, in Mr S Goodwin.

2019 & 2020 = SHIZEN HOUSEN!

Oh, there will be. The membership and sales departments can cut back on staff coz no one will be calling.

I for one will be ringing them Monday to cancel my automatic renewal. 800 smackers for a reserve seat when I may not be able to watch this crap at all is not on.

There was a rock opera about a kid called Tommy who was deaf dumb and blind.

After all these years ... could The Who have made it about the wrong MFC personality?

Wonder if he plays a mean pinball?

Our back six - Lever, May, OMac, Hibbo, Lockhart, Harmes had 4 tackles between them.

Don't understand how that's possible from a backline in a professional highly paid sport?

Its called "Standoff Footy" Where you think

1 Your team will maintain possession

2 You believe your skills and judgment better than opponent!

Neither apply to MFC at all

I wonder how much internal heat there is on Goodwin? What would it take for Pert to get into the football department? Richardson has made no difference to our results - maybe he doesn't have much to offer, or maybe SG doesn't listen... 

Brown was talking about lack of on-field leadership. Yep.

A soft team when the heat's on. Same as it ever was.

People blaming forward line are way off, after quarter time we rarely went inside 50, the first quarter we kick to Port.

We keep saying this over and over again our skills and ability to hit targets is at local footy level not afl.  Bloody disgrace that blokes making big coin cant hit targets

We played like a team of Cale Mortons ...

I switched off at half time and turned onto Netflix for another Vikings episode 

Didnt Burgess say a couple of days ago that he had these short turnarounds covered and that he had advice from Premier League colleagues about preparations re fitness ? Obviously hasn't worked , but why am I not surprised .

Has there ever been a fan base that has suffered as much as us over many many years ? I think not . And I am thinking global here . We are just so cursed .

I’m not sure what I feel worse about, the teams performance or my lack of anger, just a flat resigned attitude. ?

3/4 time stats, Gawn had 39 hit outs to Ports 10, yet only 5 were to advantage. There is zero connection between Max and our mids, zero connection between our mids and our forwards too.

I don’t pot shot our coach, but there really needs to be another review. Petracca and Gawn are the only players that haven’t gone downhill since 2018, others have dropped so far it’s alarming.

For the first time I’m actually contemplating stopping my auto renewal of my memberships and dropping it down to a 3 game pass just so I keep my consecutive years and get my scarf. ?

Their inability to put pressure on was a major issue.

Viney should have remained the captain. Don’t get me wrong Gawn plays his heart every week out but he doesn’t strike me as leadership material.

    DEE-RUBBING by George on the Outer

    For the second week in a row, the Demons had to endure some particularly oppressive match conditions — this time, playing in 30 degree temperatures at the MCG, following the humid sticky Sydney atmosphere of last week.   The warmer conditions didn’t seem to worry the Dee’s since the ball was so much easier to handle, and handle it with surety they did in handing out a 45 point drubbing to the much fancied Western Bulldogs.   After a slow start that saw the Dogs out to

    CROSSING THE PICKETT LINE by The Oracle

    Melbourne’s performance in losing its Round Zero contest in Sydney has certainly caused the club, the coach and the players to come firmly under the watchful eye of the football world and exposed all of its aspects to a microscopic lens.   Much of the commentary surrounding them has been less than complimentary and, while some might argue that this is unfair after only one round, leaving aside some of the scuttlebutt that surrounds a lot of the discussion around the game, a fair amoun
