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.

That was the preliminary final you're talking about,  not the "first" final that monoccular was referring to.

His later post commented on the later match at Arctic .... I was commenting on both posts. .....

THE WHIRLWIND by Whispering Jack

I reckon Maxy must be reading Demonland.

Gawn aims for round 12 return

"Gawn was also confident teammate Jesse Hogan, who was diagnosed with testicular cancer last week, would make a full recovery after a successful operation on Tuesday. 

'It's a bit of a whirlwind for us as well, as much as it as for him,' he said of Hogan."

I'm tipping no change but if there's going to be one, it might be Melksham for Wagner.

This game, like almost all of the remaining 14 games this year, comes down almost entirely to us. If we play at our best, we will win. Last week showed that our best is good enough to beat any opponent, anywhere. However, if we don't play out our best, North is good enough to beat us. 

Would dearly love to have a dominant first quarter, kill some nerves off, get a nice lead going, and get a confident feeling that we've come with the right mindset against our last remaining "bogey team".

Wags injured? Otherwise I couldn't see him coming out. 2 weeks in after missing plenty of footy, they'll give him a couple more to adjust.

He missed some simple targets on the weekend but he got to plenty of contests and looked ok.

This pearl of wisdom is from the North page on Bigfooty.

"I think an agressive Preuss in the middle might actually rattle the Melbourne midfield, especially him crashing in against Oliver and Viney when the ball hits the deck."

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha, I nearly fell off my chair reading that. Clearly the poster has never actually watched Viney play!

Gold! The idea that Viney can be intimated by anyone is humerous in itself, let alone some plodder who is so slow he'd struggle to get within 10 metres of him in the first place! 

God I hope we finally smash North. Such an average nothing club and we need a percentage boost for our race to finals.

Wagner in my mind is a good developing player who deserves to remain in the team..

He has flair and is in a similar mould to Jayden Hunt.

Come on you mighty Demons you can do it, you just need to remain the hunter and not the hunted. It is all about bringing the right mindset, application and team first approach to the game along with Goody and the coaches getting the right match ups and don't give them a start!! - Go Dee's!!!!!

Not only does the poster grossly underestimate what Viney and Oliver bring to the table, but he /she doesn't know their own team.  Last  time I looked Preuss wasn't even in their squad, or is he one of the deck chairs?

Just watched Lewis on AFL360

Talked about running through the Crows' midfielders at the start of the game, and letting them know they would be targeting Sloane - bit of a shove. Said they went out to target Hawthorn last week, but failed utterly, so he took it upon himself to lead the way, 'cos that's what leaders to.

Over the past years, Hawthorn had a few players who would do that - Mitchell Hodge Lewis Roughhead Rioli Burgoyne for starters. 

I'll be interested to see a similar mindset develop at the Dees,

Lewis is scary.

Did you hear him say he isn't very vocal on the field wither?

I found that kinda strange.

Prior to our demolition of Adelaide i suspect Kangas had us pencilled in (5b) as their game.

Right atm i think there are some concerns at Nth.

I agree he has flair but his disposal has been horrid at times, which is weird because I though he was rookie drafted based on his elite kicking?

You'd imagine he'll remain in the side until he has a poor game. He'll be a useful match up on one of North's medium forwards such as Garner or Wood.

Pedo to kick 6 and really stick it up his old side and for him to assert his new found dominance over North's massive ruckmen. 

As long as Gysberts doesn't get 40+ touches and sticks it up us.

Oh, hang on...

it was in the context of player banter and the whole murphy thing.  he said he thought the back chat was pointless

I'm sure he would be vocal in getting players into position etc

I know what context it was used in, my inner perspective of him was that he was a jerk on the field.

Think that was in answer to a question from a member of 'odd couple" to Lewis, about sledging, and whether or not he talks. Thank Chr### he does, even when he says he doesn't.

On Wagner, another left footer, who, in my opinion is building strength into his kicking power, needs a little more game time, he's liked i think....  and they will miss the rats.

    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
