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.

More tidbits: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/more-news/afl-fixtures-2017-collingwood-lose-prime-time-pull-after-three-years-out-of-finals-contention/news-story/063cda05cc059922138ca732a048fdcb

It looks like we play Geelong in Round 3 at Etihad Stadium. Again, unclear if that's our home game (if so, not sure how I feel about that) or away (if so, good result).

Collingwood is going to lose prime time exposure (great news).

Nothing wrong with changing your mind, but in 24 hours you've had more positions on this than the Kama Sutra.

Dear AFL, Please give us an opening round blockbuster to kick off the year, but not against Essendon because they'll be up and about, and not against Carlton because they've got the wood against

I think we're away to Geelong at Etihad. That would be a great result.

Although 2 of our first 3 games at Etihad probably not so great.

You know, I don't mind it. 

 

Usually we part play tons at the G then when that Etihad game sneaks in it is a forgone conclusion that we'll lose.  This way, bang, we need to start the year hard at Etihad. Those games are our focus all preseason so we should be in the mindset. 

 

No idea if we'll won but it's as good a time to break the mindset as ever. And if we do we set ourselves up for finals with more games at the G in the back half on the season.

I wonder how many (if any) Friday night games we'all get and what are the chances we'all get it as our home game. I'm going to lock a few in based on previous seasons, we will play both Carlton and Essendon once at the G and it'll be an away game. 

Just seems to be tradition now.

Ill bet anything that Geelong game at Etihad is our home game, and we dont play them at the MCG yet again.

The putrid AFL didnt mind giving us a home game there vs The Saints this season.

The Geelong game will have to be their home game as they can't play at Simonds for the first 8 weeks of the year, so their home games will be Etihad.  Much rather play them there than at the Kardinia Park hell hole.

Ignoring our history of ordinary results there I actually quite like Kardinia Park its a nice little stadium.

While I will not be happy at all to play a home game at Etihad. I suspect we will once again have to. I feel like I'd much rather it against a Geelong than a St Kilda. At least then we will still get the attendance of a VIc side and we arnt playing someone at their home ground.

Blues rd 2 at the G I've been told.....

Since 2004 we have only played Carlton at the G as our home game 3 times.

Since rd 1 2005 we have played Ess once as our home game at the G

No wonder we get stuffed financially. It's a disgrace.

I like that we have a decent run at the G to start and end the season. One Friday night game is a bit poor, but three Saturday nights might make up for it. The amount of six day breaks is a worry, will test us. Positive overall though.

    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.
