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 reckon 12 wins gets us into the final 8 this year,  so if we go 8 - 6 from here we will play finals. I can't see any teams giving us a flogging so our % will be healthy.

I expect finals but I'm not looking any further than that just yet.

Our best is as good as anyone's though! 

Agree 100%

This will sound like the strangest comment ever uttered in these hallowed digital halls, but I don't think I'm ready yet. This is my life now. Melbourne's inveterate crapness is a core part of my personal identity. The Stockholm Syndrome has full hold of me. Just the thought of a flag and the existential anxiety seizes my brain. How the hell am I possibly going to cope on Grand Final day?!! And around all those bloody neutrals who couldn't possibly understand. What if it all goes horribly wrong? And surely, surely, after waiting so desperately all this time, there isn't the slightest hope that the joy however great could ever live up to the desire. And how much salt would it rub into the wounds - to suddenly do it so easily after a half-century of wasted effort? What happens when life returns to normal? When cricket returns to the G' and ordinary people no longer care? When everyone else has forgotten the pain and the suffering and simply moved on? I'll be that prisoner released into society after serving a life sentence. I'm institutionalised. My only hope is recidivism.

I would've waited till after we beat North in terms of making a thread like this.

Lose Sunday and we're simply going around in circles and unlikely to make the 8.

As for contending, I think a dream result would be winning 1 final (especially at the G in front of the faithful) and building that into next year when perhaps we could be contenders for a grand final. 

Winning a final would be surreal for many of us that went to see the Dees week in week out over the last 10 years.

I don't want to be a negative [censored], but I don't see us developing a level of consistency this year that will get us there.

Even when the Bulldogs finished outside of the top 4, they'd played a season that was capable of top 4 if it weren't for injuries.

I don't think we're mature enough to play to that level. I've always expected 2017 to be another year where we find our feet, make the 8 and maybe win a final. I've always seen 2018 as a year we should be pushing for the top 4 and could pinch a flag, ala Hawthorn in 2008 or Bulldogs in 2016.

I hope I'm wrong and we can get to a level of consistency sooner than even our coaches expect, remembering that McCartney has repeatedly said we're 18 months behind the Dogs in their development. We're certainly due finals though and 13+ wins.

I agree we probably won't get the consistency this year however our best is good enough and the season is wide open. It's unlikely but anything can happen

As a club when we do get a run on we tend to hit the top pretty quickly (prelims in 87, 94 & 98).

We would need to get on a roll to make top 4 to be any chance IMO.

GWS, Adelaide, Port Adelaide and West Coast are well all positioned to finish top 4 and I don't like the prospect of needing to win two cut throat finals on the road.

Wonderful stuff Skuit. 

A touch of Jean-Paul Sartre. A little along the lines of Being and Nothingness.

You are not alone in your thoughts. 

However, the fundamental truth is that you can't live without joy and suffering, it's just that we Demon supporters have had more suffering than joy.

However, I cant help but think that it will be anticlimactic when the Demons win the flag, particularly when one realizes that other than for Demon supporters, the rest of the world will not give a flying......

For a brief moment, we will experience joy and the gratification that comes with success, but it will be a transitory moment that will quickly submerge in the flotsam and jetsam of daily life.  A brief escape from the horrors of this world and the destructive behaviours of the human race.

Where were you in 2000?

I don't want to get ahead of myself but if we do make the Grand Final I'm not sure I want to be favourite. I would prefer to be the underdog. My psyche could not handle being overwhelming favourites and losing.

No team is ever really outright favourites. One team might start at $3 or $3.50 but they eventually close in $2 with last minute bets and the emotion of the day. IMO there's never a real "underdrog" or "favourite" on GF day.

If we lose to North this weekend it'll be back to lamenting that we're still the same old Melbourne.

I know it seems like forever ago, but it's not much more than a week since we were all wallowing in deep grief following the loss to Hawthorn.

That loss was the easiest one to stomach for me. We were still trying to gel without a recognised ruckman and Hoges was hardly in a great place. Hawthorn to their credit played well. We played okay, we just caught them on a good day and it was a narrow loss. It happens.

The other three losses shouldn't have happened and likely wouldn't have happened if it weren't for injuries and silly suspensions. All in all there's not a lot to be disappointed about in terms of how we've played. Scrappy at times but always in the contest.

This week is a little different in terms of expectation. Largely on the back of what happened last week.

The midfield has adapted to life without Gawn or Spencer and has proven it can still win the clearance battle while the opposition ruckman breaks the world record for hitouts. Forwards are applying elite pressure, mids are working their arses off running both ways and the backline is functioning well especially with Frost in career best form. They've proven last week what is possible when everyone in the team we are fielding plays their role.

Barring a repeat of Richmond where we play out more than half the game with two on the bench and Watts playing a majority role in the ruck, a win this week is non negotiable if last week was a true turning point.

If and when we find ourselves in the 8 after a h&a season, then, and only then are we in contention.

A lot of water to flow under many bridges yet.

Let just spank the Roos Sunday and then look forward to the next.

Well, being the underdogs would be polite, at least the first time.

After that we can go in all stomping unchallengable beast for a few years.

I think it might help a few people's 'triumph anxiety' to think of Melbourne as a binary system - we're either completely awful or completely unstoppable. The wheel just has to turn.

In past seasons over the last decade we never had the opportunity to seize the moment. This season we have. 

In 1988 we were victims of stage fright. In 2000 we were one of the pack and took our opportunities to make the GF but had to come across a team that was nigh on unbeatable that season. This season we have as good a chance as any other club.

I agree with all that except for the first sentence P-man.  I found the Hawks loss soul destroying, and pretty much 'tuned out' of football until the middle of the following week.

I've had enough of consistency. We've been consistent for the past ten years and look where that got us.  let's do it differently from here and be totally unpredictable.

Fair enough. I can understand why.

Geelong and Richmond were the toughest to swallow for me because we were clearly the better side on both occasions. Geelong we just refused to kick straight in front of goal and Richmond we got run over with a depleted side.

I think what separates this season so far is being able to pinpoint why we lost on each occasion for reasons outside of "we played like [censored]" which is a welcome change.

My faith is growing but it will take a big hit if we can't put away North and Gold Coast.

Thinking aloud on this further, I'd hazard a guess that at least Hawthorn would care. We'd be level on 13 flags a peace and have also done the 3-peat (twice). They'd no longer have any bragging rights whatsoever. 

I think once we breakthrough, the Melbourne stigma that has pervaded the competition for so many decades will be quashed. Membership will be up (we'd easily get 50,000 the following year) and all of a sudden, we'd be back considered a 'top' Melbourne club, in the same way Hawthorn have managed to transform themselves since '96 into one of the biggest clubs going around. It'd be Melbourne, Hawthorn, Collingwood, Essendon and Richmond (for reasons unknown). At that point, maybe even Carlton drop out of that top group. 

Another great thing about our current list and the list of Hawthorn, Collingwood, Essendon, Richmond and Carlton is that only Essendon would come close to matching our level of talent. Their midfield is going to be pretty good in the coming years (McGrath, Parish, Merrett and Heppell). The point here is that we have a big chance to elevate our club to 'big' club status, given the enormous upside in potential members, once the ultimate success has been achieved. Any club that's been through what we've been through in the past 10 years (most clubs would have folded) and still managed to get 40,000 members without making finals, is a club that has resilience and attractive tradition.

In many ways we are the sleeping giant of the AFL, with the uniqueness of our brand and our early tradition. And to tap it all off, we have a real chance to dominate these traditionally 'big' clubs in the next 5 or so years due to their relatively weak lists.

From the perennial losers between 1965 and the late 1980s, we have a chance to snap this culture and expectation and finally become the club we should be. And perhaps we finally have the right people willing to roll their sleeves up and do the hard work that is needed to win flags and create successful football cultures.

Thanks AF for your positive and rational comments and for providing meaning to my reflective mood. You aren't a member of the Australian Rationalist Society by any chance?

The only bit I don't like is the possibility that Essendon may be a future threat.

    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
