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.

No, but I might take a look, layz

Just watched the 1st episode of 'The Old Man' starring Jeff Bridges & John Lithgow and I'm hooked already ... Action/Mystery/Thriller

The 2nd series of 'Only Murders in the Building' is out ... it's a lot of fun esp if one likes Steve Martin & Marty Short

Worth the time Macca, very easy to get into and go along for the ride.

Scene previews for The Old Man and I'd love to give it a go. Heard it took a while to make because Jeff had the cancer scare during filming. 

And Only Murders In The Building looks like a good watch too. That's on Disney yeah? I've only got Netflix and Prime so I've spread myself a bit thin!

The documentary is fantastic. Inside the legal team bunker during the running of the hearing is rarely seen. Very interesting viewing and a few twists along the way. Loved it. 

I think that's what I like the most about it and to have been doing this around 2001-2003 would have been well ahead of its time. 6 eps in, can't stop watching!

I was very surprised and loved how much of the legal team meetings and strategies were put to air. Enthralling viewing. Enjoy a long night ahead lol.

One of the better and more interesting music documentaries is now showing on Netflix… Gurrumul.  I cannot recommend this highly enough!

Also pleased to see there are new series of What We Do in the Shadows and Succession available and coming, respectively on Foxtel.

I love Succession because it is one of the only shows I’ve ever seen in which every single character has absolutely no redeeming features.  

What We Do in the Shadows is simply Taika Waititi magic.

Without giving too much away the show has entered the Nazi era.  Only 2 eps in but it will be fascinating as to how they deal with that. 

Dark times but the show was always heading in that direction

@Ethan Tremblay @Maccabeen a while since I visited this thread. Black Mirror was a great recommendation, well and truly hooked...cheers fellas. "Metalhead" was probably my fav episode amongst some very good episodes, don't think I took a breath the whole time. 

@hardtack Hellbound was excellent. South Korea have some really great shows on Netflix.

Binged a bit over the holidays, came across a series called Slow Horses (spy thriller) on Apple TV. Gary Oldman is very good in it I thought and the comedy is gold.

I haven't tried Black Mirror yet which is surprising because that would be right up my alley. Would like to see Slow Horses but I've only got Netflix and Prime!

Slow Horses was good, Gary Oldman most definitely was the standout. His character was just so gross (and agree, also comedy gold). 

The only other series that have really kept my interest lately are Yellowstone, 1923 (prequel to Yellowstone) and Your Honour. I’m also looking forward to Succession returning, one of my all time favourites.

Don't know if it's been mentioned but Westworld was great, for those DnD fans out there Vox Machina is awesome, made by the critical roll guys, so much don't have the time to post them all.

I liked Westworld, although I thought the final season was a bit weak.  The series' I've been enjoying lately are:

His Dark Materials Season 3 (Foxtel) - all three seasons have given an excellent interpretation of the three books in the trilogy.
Cunk on Earth (NetFlix) - very funny mocumentary in which genuine historians etc are interviewed to lend credence to Cunks views.
The Last Of Us (Foxtel) - based on the video game the action takes place in a dystopian post apocalyptic world; I was a bit dubious at first, but so far, having watched the first 4 episodes, this is a brilliant show!
Wednesday (NetFlix) - a very enjoyable series based around Wednesday Addams from the Addams Family; typical Tim Burton stuff.
Raised By Wolves (Foxtel) - started off really well, but then they pulled the plug on it at the end of season 2, with so much left unresolved.
War Of the Worlds (SBS On Demand) - all three seasons are fantastic!

Dark (NetFlix) - another that started off really well, but by the final season had gotten itself so mixed up in its parallel universes, that it could only ultimately disappoint.

1899 (NetFlix) - same team as made Dark, but this is a much better series involving time shifts.

A Spy Among Friends looks the goods.  Set in the cold war 60's centering around Kim Philby

Stars two of my favourites ... Guy Pearce & Damian Lewis.  Anna Maxwell also stars in the show and is very good

I’ve been a bit remiss with my TV show watching of late. I did however, make a very late start on Kim’s Convenience on Foxtel. I love it. It’s full of quirky characters and is presented as a series of moments during each day. Roughly edited but entirely charming. It concerns a convenience store run by a Korean family in Toronto in Canada.

I have watched a couple of Star Wars related series on the Disney Channel including the Mandelorian (very good) and Andor which was fabulous!

Anyone finish Succession? Also recently finished Dark Winds, can also recommend this one (two seasons out now). 
I recently signed up for ‘Binge’ again as they had a $2 per month for three months deal. It’s the version with ads but there isn’t many at all.

I have finally got around to watching Lupin on Netflix, and now I’m kicking myself for leaving it so long! This is seriously one of the best shows I’ve had the pleasure of watching… ever!! Brilliantly acted with Omar Sy from the film Intouchables in the lead role, incredibly well scripted, it’s the TV equivalent to a page turner!
I’ve watched this first two seasons in two days and will watch the third and most recent tomorrow and am already feeling sad that I’ll be up to date because that means I know I’ll have a long wait for the next season. If you haven’t already seen this, I urge you to do so now… you will NOT be disappointed!!

Thanks HT.. I’m currently looking for a new show to Binge and this will now be it. I have to admit, I’ve seen Lupin when scrolling through before but for some reason, never looked into it. Cheers.

If you have Foxtel there’s now a second season of Julia, which I also highly recommend. It’s based around the TV cooking show host Julia Child. Really well written and cast, it’s a really enjoyable and entertaining show.

I gotta say I was really into Succession and got up to the last season but never finished it. No real reason but I'm not much of a binge TV watcher and something else probably came up which made me forget. Worth finishing?

I thought it was definitely worth seeing through… the final season was probably the weakest, but it still rates as one of the best shows thanks to it consistently being above average.

If you have Netflix and haven’t already been watching, Kim’s Convenience is a terrific series that’s been running for maybe 5 seasons, each of 10 episodes (I think it is).

    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
