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: AFLW Rd 2 vs Richmond



Recommended Posts

Even spread of performances. We have a good balance, strong across each line and good depth

Harris is a monster. By far the most physical ALFW player i've seen

McNamara BOG. Love how she goes about it

MaGee and Parry will be the 2 worrying about their spots

2 from 2. really solid start to the season

Go Dees

Solid performance and another win away from home. Hore, McNamara, Paxman, Hanks and Fitzsimons were probably our best. Goldrick as well.  Second quarter very good but we took some nana pills at 3/4 time and snoozed a bit. I look forward to going next week.

McNamara my new favourite player. Great skills and @Chookis spot on with the Langdon comparisons. She seems up and about with the girls tho - like a spark plug. I hope they can keep that midfield group together for a few years - they are all in the 21-24 age group. 

Great to see Harris playing like that too - so unselfish and she got a bit of reward.

But that was great fun! Go Demons.

For those who didn't get to see the game - worth noting for future reference that all AFLW games are shown live on the AFLW website.

And replays are uploaded there as well, usually a few hours after the game.

If McNamara could kick she could be a star

she was everywhere in the first half 

Her kicking for a 19 year old is great, she gets to that many contests as you say. I used to tell some ‘could be jets’ to not wait for their opponent to decide where the next contest was for them. McNamara dictates that. And her confidence is just so refreshing.
 

Also Ally Brown really impressed me. Weird that she has bounced around the last 4 years. Reads the ball so well, decent mark and skills.

Demonland needs to write the match reports. A little bewildering McNamara hasn’t been named in the best in the above report. 5 tackles and 17 possessions, her defensive work was ferocious all night. Bannan’s goal was brilliant and it all started with McNamara’s kick into the middle from half-back to spot up Mithen.

Hard to judge what is an adequate crowd in the present environment but going forward I can't see Punt Rd Oval as a good venue for this comp. It simply has almost zero spectator space between the oval and the perimeter fence. There's some room behind the goals at the railway end but otherwise it's the one lovely old stand.

Princes Park is a better venue perhaps.

The Age lists Melbourne’s best players as: L. Pearce Paxman Birch Hanks West.  

Agree that McNamara should be included in this list.  Zanker as best was the previous week

All 4 debutants from last week, Brown, West, Caris and Harris, played even better this week.  Our depth is strong.

Thought Carris did some nice things. Should settle well into the comp.

There will be a report from our correspondent and best players in that will be as per the report.

Thanks all posters and just watched the highlights. Must have been a bit like Anzac Eve last year, with Richmond's 'Uh-oh!' start but, again like the boys, being behind means nothing to the girls. I do like this 'reset' attitude that seems to be a whole-of-club thing. Also liking that - again again like the boys - the girls have the 'if x is down, y stands up' capability. Great depth and the ability to maximise its application.

Zanker 2 from 2 BOGs it seems?

And Harris, on a trajectory yet? - 1, 2, ...? Gee, she's a 'presence', too!

Good to see KP back and (from the 'gameday gallery') firing.

Gee when they mentioned about lightning and if it happens the teams going off I thought oh no not again. 

But good win and bring on the saints next week. 

Though you were probably referencing the boys WCE game last year, the real oh no not again for the girls would have been the very first game, at Casey, against Brisbane. My family group left the game when the lighting and rain storm set in at half time, and, though it seemed almost certain the game would be called off, Muggins stayed on, through the extended (and wet!) half time. Against the odds, the game resumed, the girls could not adapt to the wet, and we were overrun. Depressing. The inability to adapt to the wet was our downfall in that first year - the later wet game, against GWS, saw us again trying to apply our 'skilled' kicking game, while their 'just kick it long' game won the day and saw us miss the finals.

What's that diamond symbol the players make with their hands after a goal all about?

Anyone?

The commentators seemed to 'get it'.

I watched the Collingwood v St.Kilda game to check out our opponent for next week.  The Saints could only manage two goals late in the final term having kicked a solitary point to half time.  Lucky they did get those goals because it was heading for a seriously major percentage boost for the Pies. 

The difference in quality of skills displayed was chalk and cheese between this game and ours.  Collingwood are no great threat, without Bonnici in the middle, Livingstone down back and just a couple of others, they really lack talent. Yet they absolutely took the saints apart! Richmond had so much more on display. 

Disappointing for me was seeing the condition of Greiser for the Saints who should be one of the best in the competition now.  Has gone backward in past 12 months physically.

    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
