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.

Like some others here, Michie is impressing me with his development. He had a few really 'quick hands' disposals as a link man out of the packs - usually beautifully weighted to a team mate running past. Such good awareness today, quick reflexes and nice disposals by hand.

We also settled above St. Kilda on the ladder too. Considering the amount of excessive praise they had in the back half of the season, this gives me some satisfaction.

Well I went along today and it started off well first off with free entry and managed to snaffle a front row seat. Its really not that bad of a ground and yes it was a laughable crowd but I thought it was a nice atmosphere.

But I walked away happy and excited. We managed to win r1 and now r23. We haven't won in r23 in years, we finally broke the etihad hoodoo and we managed to get one back on GWS who have had the wood over us. We had some nice wins during the season won 3 more than last year and jumped a spot on the ladder.

Im glad people are raving about Harmes. He took a beautiful contested mark I think in the 2nd quarter between 2 gws players. I thought when he has played his pace has been great. Ben Newton has also been a handy pick up. 3 goals was nice from him today.

Loved Vince, Jones and Vineys work today and also hogan. Just awesome when he took a beautiful mark and played on and ran into the opening goal.

Crossy, what a great recruit he has been for us. It just sums him up that in his last game he would end up on a stretcher after going back with the flight of the ball. I think Jones used it to fire the boys up and when he went off giving a wave to the crowd the players were clapping and even our younger ones. It shows how much he meant to us.

Tommy Mac did a great job on Cameron. Howe gave us another screamer.

I just really enjoyed that final 1/2 of footy today. Its nice to end with a win Just hope we can have a good pre season and improve again next year.

3 more wins than last year.

Kardinia and Etihad hoodoos done.

Strong wins against two of the finalists.

8 debutants with all showing promise and some already the surest A graders I have seen in a long time.

Yes there were frustrations but the end of season should be about the positives and there were plenty. First time in a long time that I have been certain we are on the right path.

Another smart trade and draft period and who knows what 2016 might bring.

What's his contract status? I thought he was cooked after the Collingwood game but he has finished the year strongly. He's not best 22 but depth is important and I think he can provide that.

We saw a fair bit of the future today, and it's not doom n gloom.

Note also more than two thirds of the teams will finish the year with a loss, but not the dee's.

Also JKH did his role and was very effective at creating and closing space as required, he invariably delivered the ball to the advantage of team mates. He's not meant to get midfielder stats.

Good to see Bernie is already pumped about next year.

Who says the Dees can't win in September haha!! Great finish to the season today. Big preseason ahead for us. Can't wait for 2016!! #excited

This tweet sums up how I'm feeling about today - everyone has mentioned all the terrific positives from our performance, but when was the last time we finished off a season with a win? The boys will be feeling pretty good about themselves and will take that feeling with them as they take a break and then come back for pre-season. It can only be a good thing!

OOC. Suspect it'll be a "let's see what our list looks like after the trade period" case. He'll either be the last signed or the last delisted. Feel for the guy - assuming he hasn't already been told his fortune, he'll have a nervous few weeks ahead.

Being right on the fringe would be the worst.

I always feel sorry for supporters like you. Every poster here knows there is still plenty of work to be done, however, for the first time in ages we can see some REAL light at the end of the tunnel... yet you can't bring yourself to enjoy it. What a shame.

So what? People whinge about this kind of thing so often they even created a proverb for it:

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with beating GWS at Etihad in round 23 in front of a nothing crowd."

Unfortunately for Michie, there are contracted players who should be getting the bullet before him. He's a legitimate depth player unlike Bail, Terlich, McKenzie and M. Jones.

Don't worry WB these will be the same idiots that will jump back on the bandwagon once we make finals.

Jones will be the only one of those four on the list next year, and even then I'm not totally convinced.

Terlich's contract will surely go in the incinerator, and Bail and McKenzie are out of contract.

I feel we had a good side out there today. Our forward line looks a lot more exciting with Hogan as the main target and several medium targets. Newton, though he has flaws, could be a very important player in our team.

Harmes shows a real asset of physicality which we need, now Salem looks like he can lay a crunching tackle too. JKH was pretty good too. We saw some good footy from our youngsters to bring hope into next season. Those 3 goals in a few minutes at the end of the third were the difference and very abnormal for us

Anyway, a shame that 1/4 of our members couldn't turn up.

I'll miss our all too brief stint of Cross. Not many players get a reception like that after just 2 seasons.

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
