  • 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.

A mixed bag of views.  Quite bland really. 

  • With Melbourne's strong defence, I'd rest Jack and bring in the more nimble Cumberlland.  We look so good when we play with pace.
  • We're ****ed against the Dees next week if we don't find another tall in a hurry to keep Lever and May occupied.
  • We have nothing to lose next week. If anyone is going to do some pumping it’s the Tiger Army against them Feckless Felchers!
  • Does that faux tough guy lever still have that stupid Moe??
  • Well you DO sound like you’re whinging and nobody asked you to come on to the Richmond board and give your opinions. So go away.  (To a Hawks fan).
  • Beat Shemans next week and the lid is off, imagine if we had lynch for most of the season…
  • shemans will rush in cocaine oliver and beavis fricstch next week for their grand final
  • Anyone else find it weird that Hardwick couldn’t win a close game and Mini can’t lose one?
  • Watched melb win by 4p v crows today , didn’t look unbeatable to me
  • We'll smash them if we turn up. Big IF though
  • You should post more often , 100% pure sense , rare around here
  • We are a chance...Big boys game...Mini attack!
  • Free kicks 21 - 12 for Rabbleborne against Addaraid, I'm a going to stay under the biggest rock i can find game day!
  • Miller and Jack to sacrifice themselves on May and Lever while we run, gun and lower our eyes entering 50.  Only way to beat Melbourne without Lynch
  • game plan- we bomb it in we lose. give may and Lever a field day. be smart and bring in another tall option
  • we wont win this…we are shemans grand final
  • I'd like for us to take a scalp like Melbourne just to show we might not just be making up the numbers come September.
  • Melbourne by 8 goals as we were horrible against Hawks and Eagles.
  • Can't see us beating the Dees. Can't see us getting within 24 points for that matter.

 

Lots of favourites this week:

1.  Does that faux tough guy lever still have that stupid Moe??

2. About Kane Cornes

  • No wonder he failed as a fireman.  Prefers to start fires rather than put them out.

3.  A passing reference to our record 186pt loss, perhaps...

  • Outs - mansell, kmac, Cotchin, miller
  • Ins - Cumberland, Browne, sonsie, Ryan
  • We will loose by 186 if we make those changes

4..  This comment:

  • Well loose

triggered these responses

  • We are in big trouble.
  • We'll smash the dees.
  • We will win
  • You win some you loose some

Any pedants out there😉?

 

Quite a few references to the contemptuous 'shemans' for our beloved demons...hope we thrash them in a bruising game. 

More likely a win by the Dees by a 3-4 goals

I’m taking an overseas holiday so this is my last ‘WTAS@...’ .  Will leave it up to other posters to prepare them while I’m away and if they wish, continue with them thereafter. 

Stay well, D’Landers!

I reckon this is a good point;

"We're ****ed against the Dees next week if we don't find another tall in a hurry to keep Lever and May occupied.'

Nullifying oppo intercept marking in the back half has become critical in footy now.

And we will need to put work into vlastun (melk might get him) and broad.

And limit riolis bounce of hb.

LOL at the tool who thinks we view this as our grand final. Sorry Tiges, you were great 2017-2020 but now you're sliding down the cliff back to irrelevance where you and your rabid bogan throng belong.

It may be misogynistic but as for classy, there are plenty on here who have similarly “classy” names for other clubs.

Presumptuous they'll even be playing finals come September. They're a below average team and likely won't make it.

Dees by 4 goals.

I find it interesting how opposition supporters still think we win games by May and Lever taking intercept marks. Sure, we can win that way and it won us a flag two years ago, but we've rarely won that way this year. St Kilda being the exception because King went down, freeing up May and it had a flow on effect to the rest of the back 7.

I know we know our team better than opposition supporters and we have a media that is obsessed with shallow analysis so supporters are unlikely to gauge the real strengths and weaknesses of all teams, but we much prefer to score from intercepting higher up the ground now, with our back 7 behind this as cover.

But I guess I shouldn't expect clear and insightful analysis from Richmond nuffies.

No effort at all involved - just a few taps of the keyboard and mouse!  All from the comfort of an armchair...

Maybe we could call it "appointment" then.......same as " by appointment to HM of Romsey Manor"

Surely a bit of extra internet browsing of dubious opposition sites, could sit alongside with browsing of other dubious internet sites? 

Or you could "delegate" said task to one of your underlings?

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.

    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,
