  • 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.

At the game. Gotta be some kind of record for kicking to the oppo. Just never seen anything like it. It’s literally like they’re trying to do it. Can’t possibly continue, can it?!!!!

It's pretty bad. I'm trying to be positive but this is Richmond.

The cats will be watching this and smiling.

Ooooooft yeah, we cannot play like this against Geelong or we’ll lose by 50 easy. 
 

We look tired or something. It’s weird. There’s no zip in the legs across the ground.

Relax people, like a cat swatting a mouse. Yes the skill errors are weird but it’s actually well in control. Big credit to Howes for holding Bolton for so long, got off the leash for a hot minute there but a 3rd quarter onslaught coming

Kamikaze corridor mis kicks! These kicks are killing us. Basically keep handing the ball back to them but when they are in space and in their corridor!

Guts from Fritta .

I'm sorry but I don't think it's unfair to say ...This is the worst we have played for a long time.

We have gone from being a top four contender to playing like a bottom four one.

It's a big concern. We do look asleep. ( Again).

Its not as if we are a poor team but if you watched us for the first time this year.....

What are we doing prior to the game?

It's pretty difficult to explain.

Someone said it was a slop fest and it is but I want to know why 

Last week we said fatigue. This week it will be the bye 

But there is something wrong.

Trac, Viney and May not showing any leadership.

Has anyone ever seen so many turnovers?  Kicks DIRECT to opposition players.  
Eyesight? Jumper clash? (didn’t happen way back when covered in mud). 
Execution WILL kill us today and for the season.

And very proud of my man Dan Turner, to kick his first goal with blood streaming down his face made me a proud NE Victorian

That is the worst half of kicking turnovers I have seen from MFC ever. 

 

Just what I was thinking. It’s almost funny.

We've given them a huge sniff.

No excuses re three matches in thirteen tonight.

This is as bad as we've played since the 2019 horror show.

We are a risk to lose tonight, honestly we deserve it. Did these premiership coaches actually prepared this group for tonight? Or did they think we would just win by default? 🤢🤢🤢

All going to plan, folks. 

I wouldn’t be surprised if we do eke out a win here and yes they’ve thrown everything at us but if we were as good as we’re supposed to be we should be able to control the ball under pressure instead of turn it over in dangerous positions time after time. 

Decision making has been atrocious.

 Loose players not spotted. Pretty ugly from up here.

May, Rivers, Lever, Gawn in our top 5 disposals. Hello midfield

I am sick and tired of Goodwin letting this happen over and over. Where's the physical and mental prep for these games?

    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

    PODCAST: Kade Chandler Interview

    I'm interviewing Melbourne Football Club's small forward Kade Chandler tomorrow for the Demonland Podcast. I'll be asking him about his road from being overlooked in the draft to his rookie listing to his apprenticeship as a sub to VFL premiership to his breakout 2023 season to mainstay in the Forwadline and much 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 at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
