  • 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.

If anyone thinks Smith is AFL standard they don't know anything about football. Complete waste of space & let Haines run off him all game. Why Goodwin played him ahead of JVR is a disgrace. We will not make top 4 & will struggle to stay in the 8 at this rate.

And last game he let Stewart get Geelong over the line in the last qtr.

Ladies and Gentleman.

It was a good “era” while it lasted. But even with Oliver back. We aren’t doing any damage in September.

Too many passengers. The wet just makes it more obvious who they are.

 

ANB (I can’t defend this guy anymore)

Chandler should hav been dropped 2-3 weeks ago.

Smith- Isn’t the answer.

Melksham being picked as the sub shows how good our “depth” is. I couldn’t think of a worse player to have as the sub in these conditions.

Langdon- Having no impact.

Unfair on Langdon.

Rest spot on.

It’s almost like we keep losing the same way?? Like it could have been foreseen by somebody who is paid to learn such things? Or are we still learning them?

And fancy losing to GWS! A serious threat this year.

Ah well we’ll always have 2021. 

All 2021 did was make me want more and want it bad.

How the [censored] is Harmes, Chandler, and ANB getting games... Don't remember the last goal either 3 kicked.

It wouldn't be an unpopular position to put pressure on the coaching staff to fix this [censored] absurd field and goal-kicking or get sacked. 

I ask anyone who thinks that's an overreaction to actually think about what's happening. A team with a core group between 25-27 won a flag two years and now it's going to be 2 years of wasted potential because there is no pressure to fix such obvious floors.

Never met a team built more for contested footy suck so bad at wet weather footy.

Add Kozzie.

Goody is in dangerous territory of doing what Beverage has done to the dogs, keeps his job after a flag but then screws up a good list in a premiership window because he can't adapt a gamestyle or system that can actually win games of football. 

Said in post game last week that it is all talk with goody and that no tangible change will ever happen and he's proving me right, we can all see what is happening in front of us including him and yet it actually looks like we're getting worse. He'll talk about how that was the game we expected and GWS were good and that there are learnings to take from it, same thing over and over and we'll continue to lose the exact same way and continue to be inefficient entering the forward 50 and trying to convert, All talk zero walk.

Gawn not knowing what to do with his free kick was telling!! You're the captain. And there ain't no plan.

He was looking for Salem or Rivers to run past. 
I think that we don’t know what we are doing going inside 50 and it shows.

Can’t question the effort. Execution disgraceful. Bottom 6 just aren’t good enough.
 

Was always going to come down to one piece of skill or luck - and they got it.

The way we keep dominating statistically it shouldn't be. Many games that we should've won comfortably lost because we kick like a bunch of players with two left feet.

I know the conditions were slippery, but if that had been a match  between two struggling teams in the VFL, you would still have described Melbourne's forward line as pathetic. Brown past it, Smith below par, Melksham now just a journeyman, Langers and Hunter ineffective, Pickett charging about aimlessly, Harms a liability, Gawn-Grundy mix not working, and to cap off all the woeful goalkicking Viney missed a straight-forward set shot which would probably have sealed a win. Most of Bowey's teammates could have learned a lesson from the nuggety little guy on how to play wet-weather football.

Goodwin's attacking plan A: bomb it in long to a heavily congested pack.

Goodwin's attacking plan B: bomb it in long to a heavily congested pack.

Goodwin's attacking plan C: bomb it in long to a heavily congested pack.

If Fritsch is out for an extended period, we are seriously in danger of missing finals altogether.

Let us pray Oliver is fit for next week.

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    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
