  • 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.

You’re right that was an exaggerated tongue in cheek call. But anyone else who was so poor at their chosen profession would be in trouble. He didn’t even try to go back and actually line up for a set routine which I assume he would have practiced thousands of times. Or attempt to pass it on. It’s just inexcusable for a professional paid 6 figures

Thanks for clarifying the comment. :).

Yea, it was shizen.  But imo despite how much you make, humans still make mistakes.  I think anyone is entitled to a really bad day. (He's usually pretty good?) His confidence was clearly shot and a leader should have gone over to him quickly and told him to calm down. But er, does St Kilda have leaders?

He’s on 17.13 for the year. I know he had a lot of health issues last year and I feel for him. I’m sure he would feel awful with that game. But firstly he should have tried to pass when he was on the 50. Do the team thing. And when he took that last mark he just rushed it which was a poor call. Take your full 30. Settle. Give your teammates time to set up behind the ball should you miss. 
But St Kilda have been woeful all year and as you say lack leadership of any kind.

His confidence was completely shot. He played very well throughout the game in terms of leading up and taking marks and was involved in a lot of scoring chains.

He’s a good player. He’ll bounce back I’m sure.

Let's see the Pies get some excitement going and get some momentum going into our match. Pump up the crowd numbers. Also I feel their footy department is just waiting for them to snag a win as they can say "see? Buckley, coaching prodigy" and extend his contract.

Jamie Elliot is such a good player. I was hoping so much for him to come to Melbourne. Imagine us with him running around out there in our forward line.

Could be elite if his body holds up. 
Collingwood isolating him one out in the forwardline is interesting. Wouldn’t work unless they’re winning a lot of the ball and moving it quickly from contests. Hopefully we don’t allow that to happen next week.

If Elliot's body wasn't so brittle he would be talked about as one of the great mid sized forwards. He has great hands and rarely drops a mark. If only the Weid could clunk them like Elliot.

Amazing how we all have these wonderful conversations about how mental health. And yet seemingly educated people think its totally fine to sit at a keyboard and write this cr$p frankly and add to the culture of abuse. 

You'd belt him? Ive got money on him taking you on and giving it back twice as bad. I dare say he's pretty cut up and wouldnt hold back. 

Yes i really felt for him tbh. His confidence was obviously shot to pieces and i think he was trying to kick it before he overthought it too much.

Am I right in assuming that theirs no one sitting in the first 2 rows at Adelaide because of COVID?

Not because of Covid, but because the SA CHO has very weird ideas about potential transmission of Covid.  
 

Back to the game - I saw about 10 minutes on Kayo  - absolutely awful footy both teams.

If Jack Higgins played for us, I would take him out the back and belt him. Disgraceful attempts at goal kicking with the game on the line. Embarrassing stuff. 

"Missy" higgins..... how will he ever live that nickname down now?  haha

The crows performance against us was just a flash in the pan. 

After stealing the 4 points off us it looks like they are going to play the pies into form just before we play them. I'm starting to dislike the Crows.

Calm down ffs. This has nothing to do with continuing the culture of abuse. “Seemingly educated people” would know this.  Speaking of which your last sentence reeked of aggression so yeah, pot/kettle. Please don’t use nastiness to make your point.

I know this won’t be popular, but it’s a good thing Collingwood won

1- Takes some pressure off them before next week 

2- Elliot shows he needs close checking and we can learn a lot more from our opponents winning than losing 

3- SA do not deserve to enjoy footy. Bunch of Covid spreading a-holes and what they made Collingwood go thru is a joke. 

4- I hate Adelaide

Gutsy win by the Filth.  Elliot was superb.  Sidebottom, Pendles and Noble also solid.

I really don't get the eating their own on Buckley.   Took them to within a kick of a Premiership.  They were always going to come off the boil list wise after being thereabouts for so long.

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    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. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much more. If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. 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
