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.

My wife yelled and banged tables then went to a dark room for a few minutes.

Then came out, checked the fixture on her phone and has marked Round 22, August 14th for revenge.

Ohhh I love it!

When you fumble all game and bomb it long into your forward line every time, you deserve to lose.

Forget the umpiring, as they are not tough  guys and they were simply scared of being hurt in Adelaide, if they payed the last holding the ball and deliberate.

Also whatever stops we were wearing, well someone made a big mistake. We constantly fell over and it cost us badly.

Kinda conflicted. Know it was a loss we had to had, but would much rather it have been against a top team like Bulldogs, than a dud team like Adelaide.  I hope this is a serious wake up call to not get too confident. Maybe they’ll take the next game more seriously. I’m worried that we had a pretty good team even though Salem wasn’t playing.

Sad ?

Adelaide aren't duds. It just proves that you need all 18 up and going to win  not just 8 or 9

Been a great player but Jetts has had his day. Weid has too, it was 3 years ago against Geelong. Good to see a few more are starting to wake up to him.

well our winning streak had to come to an end in typical melbourne style against a bottom side. i think our team sometimes get ahead of themselves and take bottom sides to lightly, as they usually the ones that roll us first.  Missed Salem, jetta while i love the guy and what he has given the club he is a close down players and not a distributor like salem, probably not the best choice for tonight. But it is what it is, umpiring was not great, but the crows should not have been anywhere near as close to us. our kicking for goal is still poor at times. it cost again tonight. some of the selflessness that we have seen in previous weeks was not as evident this week. Hopefully this will bring the best out of the players in the next few weeks.

Crows deserve credit and are better than a bottom side.  They beat the Cats and we’re in the game against WC for a long time.  
Dees were a bit off today but Adelaide thoroughly deserved the win.

In the context of this year's application of deliberate, it is almost impossible to believe that non deliberate happened. The umpire is possibly not a cheat, but he is certainly a world class gutless squibb.

Why was Petty played on Walker?  Spargo handballed, while under pressure, 'towards' a team mate.  Result? deliberate.  If we got beaten by 3 or 4 goals, I maybe could swallow that.  Off our game? Sure we we were, but to lose by one point, against interstate, home ground umpires hurts even more.

Some of our so called stars have been off for a few weeks.  Which means, with the BIG tests coming up, they need to have a good hard look at themselves.  LEAD guys.  Please, lead.

A point loss, under those circumstances?  I am gutted

Weid touch free last quarter. Mistake in hindsight dropping BBB.

Yeah I feel like the addition of brown and or weid has been to the detriment of our forward line. I reckon I preferred the unpredictability of the forward line without them

I wondered about this Red. I couldn't believe the number of times our players lost their feet.

Been feeling for a while we were not playing as well as our position suggests. We have been winning, but not in great form. Had a dream start with an easy draw, now the season starts here.

CONS

Weidemann couldnt force a contest when it mattered late. 

Fritsch did his best impersonation of a turnstile - zero pressure.  
May looks disinterested

When Gawn comes back into the defensive 50 and spoils our own players to the advantage of the other team it makes me want to throw my remote across the lounge....

PROS

Petty builds his reputation

Lever stood up under ENORMOUS personal pressure. Class act. 

At that level of pressure you quickly can identify where players deficiencies are as they bubble up. Will be an interesting review. 

Also now we understand that when the game is played like that the maggots keep the whistle in the pocket.

Some reasons we lost: 

Gawn dropping regulation marks and palming it into open goals 

May getting done over by a big eared inbred bogan

Trac and Harmes playing like millionaires 

Jetta is done.

Hunt is only good when Salem is covering his [censored]. 

Weideman and Fritsch actual liabilities 

JJ nervous with ball in hand 

Poor defensive effort all over the ground in the first half. Lazy, unaccountable football allowing Adelaide to run down the corridor unaccounted and kick easy goals from clearances 

Turnovers. Cannot hit the side of a barn. 

mostly crap.

Just watched a replay of the last minute.

My goodness . Funny how people talk about being robbed and then theres that.

Wonder if it will be discussed.

Probavly a case of yea maybe we got that wrong but dont worry it only decided the game.

Plus if thats not deliberate then they MUST scrap the rule.

Also just in advance, can we also have a moratorium on being told to ‘lighten up’ or ‘we’re 9-1 you’d think someone died round here’ or any other cool thing that some freedom fighter wants to say? Most of us will see the light eventually but give us 1 hr at least.

Can i also suggest that posters refrain from inflicting their MFCSS on the rest of us.

We lost a game by one point. It's disappointing but we can't win every game. I believe we can bounce back and bring our A game next week.

The old man said to me earlier today.

"At my funeral, I want the Melbourne Football Club players to lower my coffin into the grave, so they can let me down one last time"

Not up to it today. At least it was a team effort (apart from Clarry)

Interested in seeing what comes of The Great Reset!

    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
