Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • 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 v North Ballarat


Beach Road Bazza

The Zebras' destiny is not entirely in their own hands (or hooves to be more accurate). They must rely on Geelong beating Frankston in the curtain raiser to the Geelong v West Coast game on Saturday. Their team is more than somewhat depleted in the absence of suspended spearhead Nick Sautner and with a limited number of Melbourne listed players due to the Demons' long injury list:

And so ... in what will quite possibly be the last game of the Melbourne/Sandringham alliance, Michael Newton will finally get to play at full forward for the Zebras.

Hope Juice kicks 10!

Ahem ... quarter time at Skilled Stadium and its ...

Geelong 2.1.13

Frankston 9.4.58 :wub:

and not much better at half three quarter time

Geelong 6.3.39 9.4.58

Frankston 12.5.77 19.8.122

which suggests that the Zebra dynasty is well and truly over and (apart from the possibility of the ressies going on for another week or two) the MFC alignment will be done and dusted as well as soon as the final siren sounds tomorrow afternoon.

Confirmed. Frankston beat Geelong at Geelong (probably for the first time ever down there) by 32 points to secure their place in the VFL finals. Irrespective of tomorrow's result, Sandy misses out on playing in the finals for the first time since 2001.

not a good pill to swallow at all....and you're right...1st time Frankston have ever won at Geelong

So tomorrow is the farewell to Melbourne FC....in the 1st year o the alliance we won a flag...and 3 more after that

The most successul AFL/VFL alliance...

We had some damn good times....

Next year brings a whole new set of variables..Sandy and St Kilda and Melbourne presumably with Casey...

Interesting times ahead...

Been a fantastic ride with Mebourne....thank to them for that....to all the Melbourne players who pulled on the Sandy jumper.(except for a couple) thanks for the effort...

I hope 2009 is the start of something bigger and better for the D's..after 2008 they sure desrve it...

I mean continue regading the couple of players you are not thanking for pulling on the Sandy jumper.

Anyway, I will stilll like to see you around here. Even though we wont be affiliating with Sandy, Ill be taking an outside interest in their progression.

Brent Grgic in particular,,,,showed zero interest when he got dropped to Sandy...mind you he appeared to show little interest when playing for Melbourne...come to think of it I'm finding it difficult to name another player.....when you get players like Adem Yze busting their guts for Sandy you really appreciate it....he's most probably the biggest "name" player to play for us...Jeff White was terrific too...so many others as well...in the 3peat, all the winners of the BOG in the Grand Finl were MFC players...Guy Rigoni, Daniel Ward and Phil Read...you can't for more than that

A big thank you to BBR. Your reports were eagerly awaited and greatly appreciated. All the best for Sandy next year - I'm going to find it hard to toss them for Casey (whoever they are). Thanks also to Ice Station Zebra and other reporters.

Cheers!

Just musing whether Lovell will cross over to Casey?

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
