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.

And then I read she's a former all Australian who struggled with work commitments.

In a perfect world she’d have zero work commitments to worry about since she’d have zero work outside of footy.

I love Goldie but she needs to stop the play on every time thing. She is like a cocker spaniel! Being tackled by two girls and still does it. Ump let her off twice when she took advantage

Absolutely. Very few in the AFLW would have her hands.

I have a Jack Russell and you're correct. Needs very clear instruction. I'm pretty sure Goldie doesn't [censored] on the oval though.

Good coaching move putting, Goldy and Heath in the centre to stop Freo's clearances in the last quarter. 

Generally good players across the board, West, Hore and Purcell when it was needed, Gay down back, Hanks and Mithen all match, Taylor and Zanker swapping roles with each other makes for difficult match ups.

Some smart players on our team, a few that are developing, and some that are "nearly".

Keep building Dees.

She’d be absolutely formidable if she could be afforded the luxury of full time training/playing. And yeah, a focus on her fitness level would just add to her assets.

Great win by the girls they were challenged by a strong team and responded like a good team does and won comfortably in the end. Bowers was great for Freo while Harris, West, Purcell and Hanks were outstanding for the Dees.

I think I'm officially becoming a harsh marker of this team! Last two weeks have been solid enough wins, but I always feel we can do so much more. Watching other top 4 contenders demolish expansion sides probably isn't helping.

I will give credit to Freo though for what they brought for three quarters of the game - easily the best they've put on the park this season in terms of pressure and two-way running. Then fourth quarter we simply put the foot down and got it done.

Seems Stinear is more willing to throw the magnets around this season. It's a good thing in the (slightly) longer season, giving us more options if we need a shake-up in later games. Defense-wise, I worry. Wish Colvin was out there for that extra grit.

I'd think that Goldie will re-calibrate just a tad this week and maybe rein that "go-go-go" in...about 5% 😂

Duffy has some of the best goal sense in the league (we've seen glimpses of it). Agree with WCW, she's never had that "typical" footballer physique and in her earlier time at Freo was probably way fitter than she actually looked. Obviously has some work to do there now, but she'll build that back, I just hope she's loving being a Demon and finding a good balance.

Bannan's having a super frustrating season and probably feeling it. Had some almost moments today. It will come!

Shout out to the fans over there and those that travelled for their great support, could hear you through the TV for sure.

The least said about the umpires the better.

Zanker was atrocious below her knees today

I thought she played her role well. She also got a couple of goals and assisted with a few.

Marks in the 50 arc are important. 

She has not been great in games this season, I thought it was a better one for her and hoping she can build on it.

As for below her knees work, I thought even though fumbley,  she kept the ball infront and moving.

Love Goldie, just takes the game on...a little bit too much sometimes.

Just getting her game sense back.

Good move throwing her into the middle for a run.

I like Zanker, reckon she is a smart footballer...the goal assists are a good example of this.

Still young with plenty of upside.

Yep 17 frees to Freo to13 Dees when they were beaten by 5 goals was crazy.

Great to hear the Melbourne supporters on the TV.

Stinnear's changes are great to see and kept Freo on the back foot.

This team is just continuing to build and after watching them be so competitive since the start of the AFLW comp, they really deserve to win a flag.

Hopefully a nice clean run into the finals.

Go Dees

This gal (Freo cheer squad) didn’t let footiness get in the way of her fashion sense (those shoes, though 😬)

Her form is improving, she did take important marks, and she did well not to overrun the ball while she fumbled to pick it up. All true. But she looked like she was wearing ovenmits when it was at her feet. Also, I wish she would use her size to make room for teammates a bit more like Tom McDonald does. We're lucky to have her

I think she's still growing into her size if that makes sense.

Not yet a total wrecking ball like Tay but she has the capacity to do it with a bit more experience.

You still see her thinking through her moves a lot of the time.

I thought Zanker did a nice shepard in the last to make room for one of our players, perhaps Purcell,  to kick a goal.

I get what you mean though. If Taylor is her mentor, she might get there.

Our talls are good, though Gillard had a bad day and must give the opposition headaches.

    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
