  • 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.

Why would you drop him?

Why is he always the first one in the gun?

Has done very well with his limited ground time and possession count.

No youngster deserves to get dropped while our injury list is so long. We have nothing to gain by dropping them.

Haha I said it with tongue in cheek as he does cop a fair bit.

From what I heard on the radio he seemed to be up the ground and out of defence a fair bit.

I hope nobody actually thinks that last qtr counts for anything. I don't want see some of our players all of a sudden looking like superstars in junk time. We want to see performance when the game is still there to be won.

Very, very disappointing performance. I actually thought we had a chance tonight.

Chris Johnson perhaps done enough to earn a spot next round?

Absolutely, he ran hard, marked well, tackled strongly and his disposal was pretty good under pressure.

He is definitely proving alot of people wrong with his performances since coming back.

Brisbane beat West Coast at Subiaco last week. What made you think we possibly had a chance, when better Melbourne sides couldn't get a sniff in Brisbane in years? :wacko:

You can't expect to win games with the side we're fielding at the moment. We're one kid short of a happy meal FFS.

The fact that we made a contest of it and didn't lie down and get done by 100 points, is something to hang our hat on.

West Coast are flying aren't they?

I just want to see a committed team effort. I want to see us win some clerances and put our head over the ball, and dare i say it....play some good team footy. Wasn't much of that going on tonight.

Team footy requires you to have a team. Given that we're currently a side thrown and sticky-taped together, I don't know that you can expect much more. We are basically playing the last 22 fit men we have, and most of them are no good or very very raw.

Those who are no good will be gone shortly, those who are raw, will learn from the experience and be better for it next year.

Gee that pisses me off when players loose there cool eg sylvia just then a davey having a swing

i apoligise to the kid, that was the worst free ever!

lucky you backed that up. him and the other mfc player were getting jabs and elbows, sylvia pushes him away and it gets paid against him??? the free kick count was listed as 16-22. i think it was more like 10-22...

What was with their complete refusal to call 'play on advantage'?

Stuffed us up at least 3 times, when we had the ball nearly inside 50!

i thought CJ did pretty well today...17 disposal, 8 marks, not heaps of game time...his disposal was among our best.

bate got a bit of it but i was dissapointed, he didnt do much that was damaging. and he struggles for pace those first 2-3 metres. brock and bate both need to work hard over summer on their first 3-4 steps. in fact it wouldnt hurt anyone in our team to work on early acceleration. we dont need to be fast, just need a bit of power to break the tag occasionally.

patfull played a fantastic spoiling game for brisbane, and apart from jon brown possibly was their most influencial imo. robbo was our main target, if he was allowed a bit more space he could have had 6-7 today and patfull kept him to 1.3.

I'm not expecting huge things with a bunch of kids, but I'm not going to accept getting pasted like that, and I don't think Riley will either.

Kudos to CJ, good to see him play well and hopefully he plays out the year.

On Bate, deanox you're spot on about his acceleration, he is quite quick when he gets speed up but his acceleration is poor, as is McLean's.

    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

    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.
