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.


GAMEDAY: Rd 12 vs Brisbane



Recommended Posts

Brisbane far too good and we have a lot of work to do. A functioning FORWARD LINE would be a good start.

Few positives there other than we're only 20 points down. 

The Lions are by far the better team. Tackling, marking, kicking, clearances. better in every department

Not sure what Goody can do other than give everyone a spray

A real cream puff effort that from the Dees. Don't see any evidence that the narrative will change, its a hard game by the look of it. So hard that our 1 wood contested ball is nowhere to be seen. 

Lions working much harder. Can it turnaround? Yes, but right now there are way too many passengers.

4 to 10 (Brisbane’s way) centre clearances and 14 to 22 (Brisbane’s way) clearances.

That’s the issue right there.

Yep, our mids have been [censored] insipid tonight.

Oliver is unsighted.

And sorry to say but a decades long Achilles heel has been brought to the fore tonight. We lack the mongrel to deal with a pack of dirty bastards like the Lions.

Brisbane’s talls dominating all around the ground. Tommy and weid need to forget that first half and rebound quickly. 

Weid should just stay in the goal line and take one of their defenders out of the contest. Can't do anything else.

But don’t let Sanctimonious Stewie hear you say that or he’ll quote more meaningless statistics at us.

Weid is a bust.

Honestly would delist the bloke. Provides next to nothing.

Second half if we don’t take charge of the centre clearances this will turn ugly. Get control of the centre and we can get back in this. It has been an issue this year against lesser sides but we could rebound off half back but won’t work against this mob while every bounce is going their way.

It starts at the contest. Get some body on them and win the hard ball.

Brisbane have played exactly how they would have wanted to. Everyone in the game but Charlie Cameron for them. All their prime movers, but we have been dreadful. Absolutely dreadful.

In D50, we haven't won any contests (Brisbane's strength). We've spoiled each other when we should have marked, so communication is poor.

Our mids and forwards have let them waltz the ball inside D50.

There was a play towards the end of the second quarter there, where they went to the right wing and then did an easy switch back to the left wing, nothing fancy. All the Brisbane players were set up there and with no pressure, Neale kicked it long to Hipwood who marked. Terrible defensive transition. The Melbourne of old. 

We're not on and we don't look like getting near them. Unless Brisbane stop and we suddenly start working harder, this game is over at half time.

Lions a class above. Too good.

We are off on pressure and our midfield is a real worry. No Oliver no melbourne. 

Langdon's importance to the team can't be underestimated

they are well organised. We are worried about their tall forwards, doesn't help when they are isolating/ blocking Lever at every chance. they were running in numbers at the end of the Q there lining up to kick goals

Haven't played on our terms at all. if they don't reset it will be 50 points

Melk to HF.  Kozzie into the middle.  Sparrow to the bench.

Weid up the ground.  T-mac to CHF.

BB was a much better option deep tonight vs Weid and should be the go to out of the two from here.

Would much rather have Baker in for the run on one wing.  We have zero run / link up happening and transition is far too slow.

Is Harmes playing on Neale?

needs to switch it up to give then some hope

Always thought thay would beat us if they kicked with reasonable accuracy.

The challenge is to keep it as a "close loss"

    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
