  • 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.

Sandringham- 13-12 90 (maric 5, buckley yze 2, newton 1)

Frankston- 15-12 102

disappointing performance from sandy, especially considering they were 20 points up at 1/4-time.

maric was only real highlight- should be in a red and blue jumper next week

S

forward line not working- maric is only standout, newton doesn't look interested

Newton doesn't look interested? Given how ineffectual our forward line was yesterday that is shocking news. Does this guy have no sense of opportunity?

I hope your wrong BarPen. Please let us know if he lifts in the final quarter.

Looks like the Melbourne disease is setting in at Sandy as well!

This was one of Sandy's poorest games for a long time. Frankston won becasuse of its intensity, desire for the ball and willingness to play as a team. There were 12 AFL listed players in the Sandringham team while the visitors were a no name team that was willing to put in and get the hard ball.

Very few players put their hands up to play against Carlton. Maric and Moloney were the better of the Demons with a nice performance by Jake Spencer especially after Stef Martin went off injured early in the game.

Matthew Bate played in the reserves and had 32 possessions including 14 in the first quarter in a 14 goal winning team.

Matthew Bate played (and dominated) the first half of the Sandy seconds. Moved freely, ran hard.

Excellent news after all!

Mind you, if he didn't dominate in Sandy reserve I'd be very very worried.

Newton is really starting to [censored] me.

Thanks Baz [and BarPen] what injury has Stef Martin sustained?

Bazza, I'd be curious to know whether Sandy's game style has changed this year.

Stef Martin was playing a fantastic game in the ruck until injured 17 min mark of the first quarter.

Garland started beautifully in defence & moved to CHF during 3rd Q, did some nice stuff. Really good game.

Frawley coming along nicely.

Spencer played a solid game for a kid first game up.

Newton, I'm dissappointed with his lack of fierceness @ the contest.

Buckley, a good game, but leaves so much behind, in as much as he could do a lot more. If he learns to work harder & give everything he COULD be a something.

Maric, a good little game finishing off others hard work. Can work harder & showed some class running around the wing boundary setting up a play.

Beamer did some nice things here & there thru the game.

Sandy reserves - 2nd half

Cheney, looks ok, stands up to intimidation, plays well.

McNamara, looks allright to.

Bate got through fine.

There is nothing funny about being beaten at home by the filth from Frankston and it has been noted not many of the AFL listed champions did a great deal to stem the defeat esp the forward wonderkind Newton.

Zebgrowler, you are currently paired with the worst team in the AFL, so it's not like we've got great players on our list who are going to star for Sandy. Our AFL team is poor enough, how good do you reckon blokes that can't make our 22 at the moment are?

But we've given you a good run over the years with some good performances from AFL listed players helping Sandy to a number of premierships.

I think it's perhaps a bit rough to start having a go at Melbourne now.

Thanks for contributing Zeb, that's great. Please stay around and throw some more cheap junk for your own amusement.

So the loss was entirely the fault of MFC listed players?

    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.
