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.

 I thought I would try the AFL Live pass tonight, in preparation for the Doggies game this weekend, but I cannot get it to work, has any body else had issues?

You're not really missing much (crappy game) - but it's working fine for me.

Make sure your AFL app is up to date as I've had issues before when it was a version behind.

What's your method of watching it? Phone, Ipad etc? There's a lot of info on bigfooty and whirlpool that might be helpful.

Seems like it's all stuffed anyway.

 

Get a VPN and buy the international version is one idea I've heard of questionable intent.

Last time I checked a tablet isn't a TV, that's complete bulls*** that it won't let you go full size.

Ffs. I bought a full size tablet just to watch the footy.

I don't know how it would work and what quality it would be but you could potentially download the iphone version of the app onto your ipad and that might go (closer) to full screen. But you may also lose quality. 

That's a disgrace of a deal and they should be upfront about what you'll get, if you were wanting to cancel and get your money back I'd threaten to take it to the ACC because I think it's fair that unless they make it clear in the product you won't able to watch it full screen on the tablet, it would be fair to assume you could.

Foxtel likely put the foot down after recently getting fox footy as part of their tablet service - foxtel go or whatever they call it.

Some people are saying the terms and conditions still say it will work on Ipads. So they've got a fight on their hands. Most footy media will be too compromised to touch this issue but someone will.

I have been watching on my mini tablet for 3 years now. I will continue to watch on that. I refuse to pay for foxtel as I use to work for Sky Tv in the UK.

Not a surprise that they wont improve their service to get you to buy. They just make sure everyone else is [censored] too.

Agree with others. 

As long as we're not convincingly beaten in any of these games and we can come away injury-free, I don't care about the win or loss. In the past I have because we've needed a bit of a momentum push going into the season and hadn't experienced the 'winning' feeling all that much.

But this year there's already an expectation that we'll make finals and we've clearly got an abundance of scary talent at our disposal.

Let's not look silly in these games though.

 

Players I'm most looking forward to seeing: Salem, Oliver, Brayshaw, Trac, Lewis and Melksham. 

If those first four names can have injury free years and take their game to the next level, we'll really be banging on the door of the eight.

Also, can't wait to see Garland tear it up....

I really hope the forgotten man Garland does put his hand up - I feel sorry for all the players of the post Reverend/ pre Roos era. Their careers have been cruelled.

Wouldn't be surprised if he's one of the 3 that gets omitted at the last minute.

If he does play, I'd like to see him on Crameri, while the McDonalds take Tom Boyd and Cloke.

My request for Demonland is that posters refrain from using the following expressions over the next 48 hours:

  • "blowing out the cobwebs"
  • "it's like dancing with your sister"
  • and if we win, "it's only a practice match"
  • and if we lose, "it's only a practice match"

I get the feeling that a couple of the JLT games will be used as opportunities for older/fringe players to show some value. I can't see the likes of Garland, Trenners, Pederson, Spencer etc getting a whole lot of games but when they're called up they will need to be able to do a job. That's been Hawthorns strength for so long, we need that attitude for us as well. 

It'll be interesting to see how the Dogs line up given they were in the GF.

Not sure how deep the expectations are that we make the finals in the AFL hierarchy. Personally I think that we are still under the radar with Gawn the only Demon that they rate in all their published lists of rated players. (They haven't got a Demon midfielder or forward for example.) 

i concur with the players that you have listed however I would add Hogan, Weideman, Hunt & Trenners!

Watts for the Bluey!

p.s. Winning our three pre-season games last year didn't set us up to even win the first match.

Im looking forward to the game(s) today.

Am very interest to hear from track watchers about the new game style.... and see what we implement today.

I've got a feeling the fast game style may not be employed for every game. For example Round 1 v the Saints at Etihad we will use the fast game style but maybe not so much at the MCG

Has there been big noticeable differences this preseason??? Interested on thoughts, can't wait to see the boys and girls tonight out West

    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
