    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 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.

We'll take the 4 points but , sorry to say it , that was [censored] woeful !!!

I lost count of turnovers at about 500.

We must do better than that !

Yes, the turnovers were cruelling when these did not have to be ... the Dees allowed themselves to be hurried searching for spacemakers that never penetrated. Disco put in a good game - very handy with his ground coverage when it mattered. Well fought, Dees ... but it could have been a very prominent 'walkover' with a bit more thought and effort. Not too sure that Petty is 100% - he should be contributing more in terms of effective possessions and disposals.

I did think max was best over all of the 4 quarter. After half time he had a few more contributors to help him, but the hurst half was his

Interesting Kozzie saying they worked their “@%$3” off at training. 
 

Fatigue looked like a feature of the game. Looking forward to seeing them run ON TOP of the grass.

Pros: 4 points, Disco! BOG by a country mile. The kids, generally. 

Cons: Lots of our stars quiet/sloppy. Too many turnovers. Not saying we will lose against the cats/blues, but if we play like that, we will. Need to sharpen up. Quick. Oh and Petty, the poor man’s Disco. WOG by a mile. Off to Casey pls.

Not very convincing but 4 pts, go Dees

Happy for Disco but that was a porridge game to watch.

Im not sure whats happened in the last 2 weeks.

 

That was swill that game.

How we won by doubling their score I'm sure I'll never know.

From the get go, kicking out on the full, missing set shots, kicking straight to Richmond player without any pressure on the kicker and worst of all the majority of our hand balls didn't go anywhere .

I'm sure we couldn't have played more poorly.

In the end we banged through some goals with better connection but there was still some sloppiness.

How poor are poor Richmond.

Petty out for sure.

Sparrow too.

I seriously think that was one of our worst efforts in at least  the last five years. Next week we play an unbeaten Geelong. We are in for a tough time.

Fair dinkum, not invested, that's why he got crunched going back into a pack.

Everyone else, repeat after me 1,2,3, We trust the match committee- Turner was a great selection.

How did Turner not win the medal?

BOG by the length of a BBB run-up

 

take a bow son.

He's like another Nev Jetta. 

I can see a rock solid player, swingman with this bloke.

Lever post match interview "worst kicking I think I've ever seen before half time"

At least we straightened up in the end.

El, to be honest, he lost me with the interview he gave at the Golf Course with Adelaide mates. That might be just me but I probably now view him from a negative standpoint.

He also doesn't appear to carry injury as well as others (of course, that's again me as just an onlooker).

But if he doesn't buy in, why play him? He's not the same bloke from our Premiership year. He's marking time. Hope I'm wrong.

Got the win but gees. We're gonna get smashed by Carlton and Geelong if we don't get out act together. So many mistakes. Relying too much on too few.

Players come in and out of form at stages.  It's a long season.

But to have this many out of form, especially through the middle.  We simply have to get two out of the three amigos back to their best to have any chance against the Cats.

Then there's Petty.  He simply must take a spell at Casey to try and gain some match fitness and form.

At this stage i'd also look to bring Sestan in for Sparrow.  He probably isn't quite ready for a four quarter match but could come in as the sub with Laurie brought in to the interchange.

Was it really necessary to sign JVR for another FOUR years? Surely two would’ve been enough? Not saying he won’t make it, but seems a bit over the top for what he’s produced this year, another 5 years ahead, good luck to him

Disgraceful disposal. We made them look okay. 4 points is good but play like that next week and we will get done badly.

    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

    TRAINING: Monday 29th April 2024

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations. About 38 to 40  players down at training.  BBB walking laps.  Charlie Spargo still in rehab, doing short run throughs.  Christian Salem has full kit on and doing individual work with a trainer. He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the
