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.

The Pies have formally requested this. The proposal is tied to alternating the QB match and the season opener each season.

You know you're doing something right when the pies are requesting 2 matches a year against you

NEVER trust Colonwood. Surely past history has taught us that.

 

Yeah, the Pies graciously offer to play us in the first round, then twice a year. Wow, wonderful.

Then, they make the request that if they play us twice, that we should share the massive gate of Queens Birthday with them year on year.

Then, having obtained that, they drop the gracious request to play us twice, but demand to keep rotating the Queens birthday clash.

 

No.

No way

No way, F*&k off you prciks.

Maybe they have really shirt memories and only recall our totally pathetic “effort” (using the term really loosely) last time we met.

Quite happy to start rotating it. 

Thanks Collingwood for letting us have it while we were sick.

We're better now.

It's a good point you make faulty ... and it would be just like them (the filth) to do such a thing.  At some stage they'll push hard to share the gate at the QB clash though. 

In the meantime we can set up other clashes with the other big Victorian clubs ... we've scooped the pool first up with the Geelong home game and PJ needs to cement that one (especially if it could always be our home game)

The Blues,  Hawks & Dons would present opportunities too ... Home or Away (rotating year by year) or Home & Away.  We can safely have these types of goals now that we've lifted ourselves out of the mire.

It is an elite spine, if only Oscar was not being considered. The number of times he has lost possession or failed to gain possession is quite wrenching. The whole backline, centres and deep forward lines are elite, at last. Bring on the 2918 season. Just about to send in my MFC membership renewal, too. 

Oh no !!!!! Don't make me have to live that long to see a dees premiership. I think I could only live another 650 years, not 900!!

Colonwood has marquee games busting out of its blurter. We have two.  Two big annual games, and we rotate the gate at one of them.

I would say a polite but firm NO if able. 

Actually, it wouldn't be polite.

While we are the mugs who scratch in the Kitty Litter every year, and are forced to play in the N.T while Colonwood gets 16 games in the centre of Melbourne even if they are down in the cellar, you don't give them a millimetre.

F.O Colonwood

Of course Collingwood want to play the Dees twice a year. They've just managed to knock us off after losing the previous 4. They're on a roll !!

I'm shocked the Pies want to play us twice a year, every year they talk themselves up and talk us down only to get their pants pulled down. 

apart from our last game which i still believe had more to do with us playing badly than them playing well.

Another reason to celebrate our finals breaking drought...   our first round pick that Adelaide owns this season will be 14th at best if we knock off GWS, or 11th if we lose.

But with Gold Coast sure to get a top 5 compensation pick for Tom Lynch, the pick will fall another spot so if we get the job done on Sunday the Crows will likely get pick 15.

Thats a great result for us despite Levers unfortunate injury.  That win vs Adelaide a month ago was huge.

I thought they ranked the draft after finals rather than round 23.

For instance a club could finish 8th after round 23 and then win the flag. Surely that club would get pick 18 (premiership) rather than pick 10 (rd 23 finish)

Yeah BBP.... youre spot on.      It is based on finals for the top 8, and not the ladder finish.

Still, the Crows look like receiving pick 12 at best.

Yeah, but our first pick will be high 20's, so how is that a win for us?

How long since Hawthorn or Geelong have had a high draft pick???

Probably quite a while. But they have picked up some handy free agency players! Anyway, I thought the topic was about Jake Lever? The comment from the previous poster was that it is good for us that Adelaide's pick is diminished due to our higher finishing position - this is irrelevant as we have still given up 2 first round picks that we are now unable to use.

My point is that at a certain stage of a side's development first round picks aren't that important. In other words, a team gets to a stage where it will attract out of contract players - like Lever, for example.

True, but unless they are unrestricted free agent, you still have to trade for them

    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
