  • 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.

Needs to hand back the keys to the ferrari (to borrow a phrase from Hutchy re: Leon Cameron).

 

Goodwin has been driving the Ferrari for a couple of years now. 

He had some of the biggest, if not the biggest, expectations on him going into 2020 and COVID/Season 2020 as we now know it has seemingly deflected the spotlight away from this. Plus there's the narrative going around that no club could possibly part ways with senior coaches this year.

I think he's going to make it through, but there cannot be anywhere to hide in 2021.

For what it's worth, the mind still boggles with the four year contract extension ahead of the 2019 season, when seemingly there was no threat of him going elsewhere anyway.

The dees aint no ferrari

The dees are one of the 1970s Mazda cars with a rotary engine, perhaps the 1972  RX-3. Great fun to drive, fast and great speed to weight ratio.

Can perform remarkably well. When on are super exciting. But break down way too often, are temperamental and unpredictable and parts are all but impossible to find. As are mechanics who know their way around a rotary engine.

I take your point Bman, and agree too.

Driving the 1972 RX-3 doesn't have the same ring to it.

For mine, they're a Ford Mustang: dominant and iconic in the 1960's with subsequent iterations showing signs but ultimately delivering slumping results and failing to capture the imagination of the public.

The mustang is great anaology. 

Did Ford inexplicably sack the designer of the Mustang in the 1960s?

The two guys who missed set shots from inside 20m in the last.  Both of those misses went down the other end and ended in goals to the Swans.  They are responsible for 23 points in Sydney's favour from two shanked kicks. 

If the first one is a goal, then the ball goes back to the centre.

Funny you should say that Angry, i blame myself too. 

Can't believe what i was thinking posting on here pre game that i thought Smith would play on Papely. I mean i know i was right, he did play on Papley.

But for me to have suggested he had the speed, athleticism and mongrel to go with Papely is just nuts.

Which is where the blame came in. i know Goody made that selection and match up based on my posts here on Demonland, he said as much when we chatted this morning.

When i aplogised i asked him why he kept Smith on him all game, Goody was clearly perplexed, replying:

"'no binman, you've got it wrong, i was calling to thank you. It was the only selection that actually worked. As you so presciently said Smith had the speed, athleticism and mongrel to go with Papely. 

Why did i keep him on him? Maybe you stopped watching, wouldn't blame you if you did - i wanted to. But Papely didn't kick a goal for the game. Created one, but really was pretty quiet.

As you flagged 2 or less goals is a win and he kicked a bagel. Imagine how much we would have lost by if Papely got of the chain."

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast.

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    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
