    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.

Hipwood smashed and caught red hot but still plays for the free throwing his head around and rolling his eyes after at the ump as if he's unlucky.

Have to say i really dislike Brissy.

If it's not going to be us then GWS all the way. You only have to look at the alternatives in Geelong, Sydney, Carlton, Collingwood.

GWS would be far more tolerable as premiers. Then we should pick off some of their talented youngsters.

How do we pick off their youngsters??? They’d stay for sure. So much talent.

Losing to Brisvegas is an absolute embarrassment to this Club 

We have to get a lot better, they are cooked 

Makes the loss even more painful to bare. The only other team they have beaten is Norf. It’s not good company to keep for the time being.

Hope that some combination of money, home factor, senior opportunities will shake someone loose. Most likely they'll wrap up their superstars but there is so much talent on that list playing in the ressies.

The one rider I’ll put on Brisbane is that they have had a relatively brutal fixture. 

GWS, Geelong, Carlton, Collingwood, us, Fremantle (away), North.

Their next month is GC, Adel, Rich, Haw. If they can’t go 3-1 or 4-0, then I’ll be happy to say they’re done.

This is the reality. Same with the Suns. No one cares if they win a flag unless you're playing them in the GF

How predictable the whole “how did we lose to [insert name of team who were just thumped]? They’re absolutely sch!tt and yet they beat us!” thing is. Extremely predictable and extremely tiresome.

What a redundant comment to make in general, but especially when it was the Giants and not North Melbourne or WCE who belted the Lions.

I hate it almost as much as I hate this old chestnut (to be said in your sternest voice while wagging your finger): “I hope you’re watching this, Goodwin. You could learn a thing or two.”

Mods, we really need an eye roll reaction.

We got owned by Brisvegas for 4 Quarters, but you call it an overreaction. 
Did you actually watch tonight’s game?

I never called it an overreaction. I’m calling it a useless reaction.

Yes I did watch tonight’s game. Not sure what difference that makes but then I’m not the one posing the useless questions.

One of the beauties of AFL is how much form can fluctuate dramatically from week to week. I suspect it is the physical nature of the game but that probably doesn't explain everything. Brisbane thrashed us for three quarters last week... at the MCG. GWS, who look to be the most talented side in the comp, thrashed the Lions. Teams will lose games they are expected to win and win games they are expected to lose.

It all sorts itself out in the last week of September.

Everything they tried against us worked. Even the ball ran for them. Average players played the game of their careers. Even Hipwood impressed (briefly) before fading back into irrelevance in the second half.

Even without considering our lead-in work load, it was just one of those games. 
 

Let it go.

Goodwin is not fond of watching when our team gets belted. Remember how he didn't review the 2018 PF against West Coast.

Yeah but they have to live in western Sydney!

Thanks all for your comments/concerns (?).

My name is actually St John (pronounced Sin-gen) Lascelles Mustafa Nguyen-Smith III. If I was playing AFL, I'm not sure that the commentators would call me by my full name.

Interestingly, I recall Neal-Bullen being called Bullen. It's the opposite of the abhorent behaviour which I have been calling out.  

PS. Don't think this is over !!!

Agree with this if we can't be there on GF day.

The thought of GWS beating Carlton or Collingwood by 1 point on GF day is a bit good.

The city will be a ghost town as it was after the 2018 GF.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    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

    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
