    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not to 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, 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.

I think you are right. I can’t work out what rule a number of these so called frees are awarded for.

Both of these teams look average. Very little composure to be found on either side this last quarter. 
 

Saints supporters aren’t letting their unfamiliarity with the rules get in the way of their passion.

The booing of Horne-Francis is seriously dumb.

We booed Tom Scully for years, after at least serving out his initial contract. JHF did something that undermines the integrity of the draft basically. Imagine if every #1 did what he did.

I only watched the last quarter, but At Kilda lacked a lot of composure, they didn't look like a quality side to me.

We might have booked Scully but the rest of the comp didn't. It's bloody stupid unless you're north supporters.

Jeremy Finlayson looks like such an ammo-level footballer but is an absolute quality forward/ruck.

Really happy for him that he got the trade he needed and is playing good football. Credit to him for being able to stay focused on the game. 

Both Finlayson and Cameron as I recall were so disappointing in the GF loss to Richmond 2019.

Both have done so. much better when playing for a club who knows footy and play with passion.

GW$ is such a shameful waste of talent.

Did any other teams boo Scully in ‘solidarity’ with us..?

That’s the weird part.

I reckon Adelaide are a chance to knock off the Pies and if we put Norf to the sword we should take our rightful seat on the throne. 

Would love to be 1st and 2nd going into the Kings Birthday weekend.

That was Melbourne supporters - what’s it got to do with St Kilda that North have been poorly managed for 10 years, so a kid left?

Do we expect Brisbane supporters to boo Jackson because he left for Freo? It’s weird.

That Grand Final was really the boulevard of broken dreams for a lot of those Giants players

You said the answer, “ ignorance” by the cretins booing a very good young footballer.

Haven’t heard the Port fans booing Howard, their former player, or Steele the Saints Captain and ex Giant or Butler, or Wood, or Hill etc.

I don't condone the booing but slightly different circumstances to a regular trade.

Horne-Francis essentially Tom Scullied North while they were on their knees and only saw out half of his rookie contract. Fair spit in the face of North fans who should rightfully be [censored] (I'm aware there are probable issues at North that contributed to him leaving).

Why every other teams fans has joined the booing bandwagon is somewhat perplexing but probably relates to group-think/pack mentality.

    PODCAST: Jason Taylor Interview

    I'm interviewing the Melbourne Football Club Recruitment Manager Jason Taylor early next week on the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about moving up the draft order, our new recruits (both Draftees and Trades), Daniel Curtin, our recent recruits who have yet to play a senior game, who he thinks will be the next Judd McVee and more. 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 either Monday or Tuesday.

    TOO LITTLE TOO LATE by Meggs

    It was a hot afternoon at IKON where the ferocious Cats came to play, had read the manual on how to beat us and the Demons were unable to match them for the first three quarters.     With physical pressure, they took the game on with relative ease and though our resistance seemed better than the previous two weeks it was still not good enough.     Within the opening minute, Kate Hore marks within range, but her shot was a miss-kick, like a fat iron, and it kinda set a flat tone f

    TURNAROUND by Meggs

    Following successive comprehensive defeats by fellow Top Four heavyweights the Demons play down a division this Sunday against the highly promising Cats.     Strangely, no games against the Cats for five seasons and now we play them twice in one season.     With the blueprint on how to defeat the Dees available on the dark web the real question is, will we crumble again under the finals pressure cooker or will we rediscover our #DemonSpirit and execute a turnaround?   Mak

    THE SECRET IS OUT by Meggs

    We were expecting that after last week’s comprehensive defeat by Brisbane, our coach Mick Stinear would have his charges coming out breathing finals fire. Instead, it was North who had the aggression, the numbers, who blocked our scoring avenues and rendered us impotent, unable to match the Kangas during any phase of the match.   Darren Crocker, the North coach, later highlighted that how to beat Melbourne is no secret following recent losses to Adelaide and Brisbane and now North.

    CATCH EM ON THE HOP by Meggs

    A sunny Sunday afternoon feast of finals footy awaits at our team’s favourite home ground, Ikon Park.  Great vibes at Princes Park where we remain undefeated from 7 matches and counting. Expect the Dees to come out strongly, sparring and outmuscling the Kangaroos in the middle.  With Paxy back firing and our gun forwards mesmerising, hopefully we catch ‘em on the hop. Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane have filled ten of the twelve Grand Final spots in AFLW history, and this dominance

    COLD AGGRESSION by Meggs

    “Cold aggression”, Lions star full forward Dakota Davidson called it. Brisbane outmuscled, outran, and ultimately overwhelmed us. They certainly came to play and exorcised their 2022 grand final grudge defeating the Demons in the rematch by 25 points. Stats count and Brisbane won the key ones. Inside 50s 42 to 24, centre clearances 8 to 6, uncontested possessions 133 to 75 and 51 marks to 27. The Lions’ sustained pressure is the kind we usually bring for other teams.   There

    HOME PRIZE by Meggs

    Big stakes this weekend. For the winner, will it be a Dees minor premiership and potential home grand final or will it be a Lion‘s Top Four finish and a double chance?    Huge interest circulates in the how the ladder unfolds over this weekend’s final round of the 2023 home and away season with some 10 teams vying for 8 places.     It’s AFLW Pride Week, a celebration of people from all walks of life coming together, being respected, loved and accepted. Women’s football continues

    WICKED WIND by Meggs

    Hang out to your hats. The strong blustery conditions made it extremely difficult for either team to execute footy skills but nonetheless an entertaining match ensured for those brave enough to venture down to Casey Fields on Saturday. Impressive Irish player Aine Tighe was a late withdrawal for Freo. Maddie Gay was also a late change, and she was replaced with 19 year-old Georgia Gall, the 6-foot ex Melbourne Stars BBL cricketer who has been impressing the coaches in scrimmage games.
