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.

Gawn - had little influence and wanted to continue to tap the ball down to his feet where the swans win the clearances!🤔

Viney - disappeared after first… fumbled too much and lost his feet often 🤔

Oliver - inspirational and prolific… bloody champion… kept us in the match then wore the blood and bandages of a warrior   

Petracca - injured before injury…🚑 yes injured … but could have kicked four goals and his lack of confidence in goalkicking is very very odd 🤮

Jackson - head was elsewhere … ffs  … he’s a champion then he’s a spud  … no footy intelligence and fumbled 🥔🥔🥔

Brown - was absolutely useless … soft tonight 🥔🥔🥔🥔

Langdon - disappeared after first… great start then went wider and wider

Spargo - disappeared after first… pushed aside easily … kicked one great pass and three absolute dogs 💩

Brayshaw - limited by injury… love him but tonight was poor 💩

Pickett - a total failure … omg lost total awareness and was chasing tails 🥔🥔

May - one fateful mistake BUT overall was a champion  We would have been destroyed without him

Petty - seemingly no mistakes… bloody champion and gave 100%!

Fritsch - ten minute game … was dangerous but his one miss was very poor from 25 metres out

Hunt - poor under pressure … but at least tackles and ran and did a lot very well  👍🏻

Neal-Bullen - tried but failed… EMBARRASSING AND JUST AWFUL … new captain fumbles 🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔6-star spud tonight award winner 

Harmes - disposal was poor and tried and failed and fumbled and looked confused 💩

Hibberd - needed sick bed.. bloody gave 100% and won his battles

Sparrow - had little involvement … another NEARLY NIGHT … one good goal … he fumbles were costly 🥔

Salem - seemingly avoided pressure and looked unfit on occasion  strange to think he was nearly BOG in “21 GF … now could be dropped … terrible left foot helicopter kicks 💩

Melksham - the bad Melkshy… from gold to dog-shizzen …. 3 costly missed shots when usually reliable  🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔

Rivers - was rarely sighted- tried but failed but tried 🧐

Lever - couldn’t get involved-did his best 👍🏻

I haven't seen a replay yet, just got home, but at the game live, it appeared buddy ran at May from a distance and May just put him on his [censored] with a solid bump. The umpire gives a free kick because buddy collapsed and we never really got that momentum back for a period longer than a few minutes after that.

Gawn endless  bad decisions 

May carried the team

Petty is a champ 

Kossie is not Flash ..is not Eddie   is not LJ  ,

Melk 2 vital misses 

Trac  Dusty 80 %

Jackson left for home.

BBB 200cm 100kgs ragdoll 

Salem ok I guess

Sydney organised and committed

MFC  can't stand pressure 

Viney standard setting fumbles

Ollie can't fault him

Harmes round one 2023

Not harsh at all if we persist in playing a guy that gets 13 possesions and one lucky goal then good luck!

Spargo would have had 14 possies and 2 goals, if ANB could pass a footy 20 metres half accurately.

ANB and Melk tonight made Spargo look like Bobby Skilton.

Has Spargo ran over your cat? You have had him in the gun for a while. A lot poorer than him tonight.

Agree a lot were very very poor last night, but other than his good first quarter, he has been very poor for the last 4 games! OK answer me this, who would he get a game with if not with us? He might use the ball well, but is slow, doesnt get it enough, nor hit the scoreboard enough. Sorry but he was a lucky premiership player last year, but as an AFL standard forward just doesn't cut it for me. Just my opinion of course!

If thats a solid bump. The game is dead.

Spot on Mr.Leg. what about our second champion ruckman. Living off a quarter in a game nearly 12 months ago.

Sparrow was good. May absolutely killed Franklin and you pick on one error?

And it wasn’t even a f$&@ing error!!

Did nobody here see the footage of Buddy taking a dive after receiving the lightest of elbows to his back?

Even the commentators said there was nothing in it. 

I feel like I’m going insane reading so many comments about how May “made a mistake”. 

He played a blinder, and as far as I’m concerned made ZERO mistakes.

The real melksham.

Foolish once.

Fool us twice.

But now your out and I wouldn't give another year.

Got a few touches late in the game and couldn't kick straight fro 20 odd m out.

Limited fwd pressure ie tackles.

No goals....one tackle.

And Bbb ...one goal....zero tackles.

Kozzie....no Gail's one tackle.

No forward pressure from these blokes at all.

Just lazy. Sad with so much to gain.

Dogga played like Franklin....already checked out.

Thanks Oliver and May for caring.

At least when Charlie gets the ball he can deliver to a teammate - if you haven’t noticed one of greatest flaws when we play poorly is an inability to connect with our forwards - Spargo is one of the few that can do this well consistently 

He isn’t perfect and I would love to see more penetration in his kicking but he will continue to play until we find others that are better at finding teammates in F50

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
