  • 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.

I'm watching the game and it's the Dees game all over again, but in reverse. Whatever we had last week, obviously it was contagious.

- Saints can't take a trick out of the middle and are being smashed in the clearances.

- Any time they try to run it out of defence, they hit a wall thanks to Brisbane's pressure

The only difference is that where we had Robbo and Neitz managing goals despite utterly pathetic supply, Gehrig and co can't get near it. Just goes to show how fickle form is in AFL footy.

i was thinking the EXACT same thing.

Hudgton is injured, meaning they have a short bench. They are making huge errors and plyaing poor footy.

The lions cant do a thing wrong.

Couldnt agree more with you!

Another contrast to last week was the free kick count. At one stage it was 12-5 in Brisbane's favour.

It's the Old Doppelganger Game Plan Trick. Seems to be quite virulent. We'll need to watch how it effects the Lions next week.

While the Saints only had the one injured player the Runner did strain a calf and could play no further part in proceedings.

The game last night was the first bit of footy I've watched since last Friday's disgrace.

It was great to see the Saints lose, but god it makes you wonder why Brisbane can get it right, and we can't.

Btw, Brisbane's kids are looking great. They won't be on the bottom again for a while.

maybe....

Would Mathews put up with the waxxing and waning of certain Dee's game ?

Would Mathews allow a personal journey to a record, despite any real week in week out display of obvious talent ?

and the best til last..

would Mathews persist in a game with a tactic that was so obviously crucifying his team??

Matthews is a very intelligent coach. He manages to not only extract the best from what he has, but does enough homework on the other team. He's frustrate two teams in a row & prevented them from playing their game style. To a point where they lose confidence & begin to turnover the ball big time.

The experts are saying that the Hawks & Saints didnt go out there to play crap, they were forced to by the lions choking game style.

    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

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.

    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
