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.

Oscar McDonald the boy has now become a man.

23 touches, 12 marks and countless spoils, not to mention plenty of aggression at the contest.  Fantastic stuff.

Is that you Picket?

I was watching on TV (from London) but yeah it didn't look great from our representation. I know the fans don't like the place but we are playing great footy and I'd go watch them at Vic Park if I had to. 

The fans need to get over the hatred of the ground especially since we've played some bloody awesome footy there.

Not a bad day to be wrong though, Red.

Yep.

That was a seriously good performance from a team without its two star players.

I just loved our pressure, it was unbelievable.

Ironic comment with an understanding of Demon supporters cultural view of attending Colonial Stadium?

The intensity at the ball when free and then on the dogs when they had it was a standout, Jeffy's chasing i50 and out was inspirational for us, so many second and third efforts. Hunt after his shoulder "jar", and b4, one tough young fella. Many thrilling moments from a great team in the making.

It would be if I'd potted him needlessly for weeks prior to that post.  

I think we are slowly seeing the emergence of a fine key back for us.

Another pre season after another 10 or so games and maybe another 7-8 kgs of muscle and we will have a very good one.

BTW, I think the same for Weid, though he may not get the extra 10 or so games this year

Bloody tough, I kinda feel like a ruckman is more important at Subi particularly having the tall option for kicks but who do we drop? All our talls were fantastic today. Pederson is in career best form. 

Great selection headaches to have.

Maybe the scheduling of the game by the AFL should be more under the spotlight rather than the Melb supporters who generally have been amazing this year...but really 1 game on a Sunday (no FTA coverage) an they schedule it for 3.20. Make it 1 pm and you would have got another 5k there

After today's game I finally allowed my self to truly believe, we are finally a team in the hunt, in the thick of it, a real chance to achieve something special.

Feels bloody good.

Hardly surprising SD.

This ground has been like a grave yard for us for a long time. I did no go today. 50% of the reason was it was at the dome of death. The other 50% was it was my family birthday party today and game time was bad for me.  I could not disappoint my grand daughter by not being home for cake and candles etc. IMO opinion it will be a long time before a large number of Dees supporters goes there. Bad memories die hard.

Starting to understand how poorly Pedo was treated by not being selected for many games.

At least now the FD knows he is in our best 22.

If he had been played instead of the Weid against Freo we win that game.

No doubt in my mind.

He had to  prove himself like everyone else - and look how it has paid off! We should all be grateful.

 

i wonder how the bullies are feeling about Hannah now?

Agreed I know he has improved and lost weight but I seriously think he was always undervalued. (Dawes was always picked over him.)

Anyway H20 under the bridge and Im glad hes there.

Still singing theme song.

Been feeling all year that we've been on the verge of being a good team.  Could we have just crossed the line?

UM Yes

 We killed the line and moved in with its missus.

    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
