  • 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.

Another ugly win would have covered the cracks again, you cannot pick and choose when to go in this league.

personnel changes is required, our midget forward line isn’t working, our star midfield aren’t hard enough when required.

 

changes next week and a brutal [censored] review Goodwin

[censored] I’m annoyed!! At that pathetic effort.

As much as I love him, Hunt reminds me of Frost sometimes… incredible speed and gains a lot of metres but has the footy IQ of a goldfish

People will pick on Hunt but FMD there are 18 players out there who did SFA today. At least Hunt tried to do something.

-15 In clearances 

More scoring shots. More inside 50s. More contested possessions. One less free kick.

This is all on the midfield and [censored] kicking for goal, again

Sadly this is going to prove to be the game that costs us Top 4. We'll drop to 5th when Port beat us. Still have West Coast in Perth and Geelong in the Cattery after that. [censored]. This is a slightly modified 2017 all over again. 

BBB would have easily been able to milk a couple of frees or take a couple of marks on the lead and that's the difference right there, but the arrogance of Goodwin has cost us big time.

Oh well who wants to finish top 4 anyway. 
Our midfield should be ashamed of that performance. Viney has to get dropped. He’s a liability. Pickett likewise. 

agree. pickett was a total passenger and has been fr weeks now. vineys kicking was just horrible and yes, was a liability today.

We've shown glimspes of it if games for a month or so, but today we delivered 4 quarters of soft football. We even looked scared of contact, panic handballing dumb little passes to someone 30cm away.

Clearances 39 to 24. Tell me again how we don't need to worry about them.

We desperately needed another kpf.  I hope BBB kills it for Casey.

I knew this would happen. GWS are a backs against the wall side and we gave them a sniff early and they went on with it.

Lost it at match committee not picking BBB.

Out forward line as impotent as a 90 year old bloke reaching for the Viagra.

Obviously we lost by 50 points !!!

Had our chances in the last 5 minutes but stuffed up the forward entries. Hunt had three brain fades in a row! 

Probably from trying to do the right thing, but I agree

Let face it we have all expected the wheel to fall off. They brought no intensity and the decision making was appalling. Got what they deserved. 50 years of rubbish should have known better than expect more

Sad thing is Hunt gave more in the last quarter up forward  than Spargo, Pickett and ANB did the whole game and he gets pinned 3 times. Back yourself mate and have a shot at the end.

Put that one down to Petracca, Hunt and Selection Panel.

For the 2nd week in row Petracca absolutely disgusting by foot inside 50.  Butchered multiple easy chances to deliver the most basic of kicks.  <50% DE again...

Hunt, absolute momentum killing last quarter.  All the praise we've given him for playing such a more composed, mature role this year slowing down hitting the right target and taking the first option - gone in a matter of 3 awful game losing blunders holding the ball.

All the old habits are back, and the same inept forward setup.

Gone 3/6 now , can’t see this team having what it takes to win the flag , they’re brittle , that game was there for the taking 

Club culture, we are a brittle club that get so far ahead of ourselves.  We have achieved nothing, stop accepting mediocrity.

Easy up guys! Last quarter showed if we bring our pressure, get lots of free uncontested possession through the middle and have extra numbers streaming into fifty we can convert into goals and a big score. Oh wait.   

This is why top teams have a key forward who stays at home. So players like Petracca, Viney, Hunt and Oliver who are below average kicks and decision makers by foot dont have to think too much.

Those of us old enough have been expecting this to come, and on queue here it is.

Youngsters, we are 3 and 3 in our past 6. Get ready for a rapid drop down the ladder now. It's as sure as Toby Greens head is large.

 

Gobsmacking lack of composure from so many players today. Neal Bullen, Hunt and Hibberd with zero spatial and situational awareness. 

The poor bastards in the back 6 must be pulling their hair out at the dumb turnovers upfield.

Did Kosy play today? Don't recall seeing him. Worrying form dip over the past few weeks.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    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,
