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.

Just looking at the 3rdq again which was 6.1. Just wondered how many 6+ goal 3rd q we've had this year? It seems apart from 1 or 2 games we've pretty much been nailing the premiership quarter.

So proud of our team, especially those that have had to wear so much criticism or setbacks and able to rise above it and perform as they have recently!.

Takes real grit to do that.  Well done guys

I thought that Jetta was fantastic yesterday, in fact the whole team deserved points . Super proud of all of them !

Jetta is not first picked each week, his name & Jones are permanently painted on the board. No discussion required.

What a fantastic win at Etihad, to beat the Dogs on their own turf was exquisite, the boys played hard close checking footy and added dash, class and will to win, I am still feeling quite exalted. What a game. Bugg sure copped a lot of treatment during the game, very tough unit that one. Go Dee's!!!!

Bulldogs have not been beaten at Etihad or in fact Victoria this year before yesterday's game.

We executed a great game plan 

The loss to Longmire's Legions was the worst the Bullies had experienced under Bevo...until yesterday ;)

This is my favourite line written in the media about the game: 

"The Demons hunted and stalked their prey with the hunger and cheek of a pack of starved hyenas for a full 120 minutes". :cool:

Jay Clark, The Australian.

I enjoyed that one too Lucifer's, but I liked this one from the same article even better:

"After a decade out of finals, it was plain to see in the white-eyed aggression and desperation of Michael Hibberd and Nathan Jones that this Melbourne team is as driven and as selfless as any in the league."

How good were Hibbo and Jonesy's acts (?), but the real beauty is that they typified the approach of our entire team throughout the game.  Never in a million years were we going to lose, because we would simply go to another level at the slightest hint of a challenge.  As a former great of our Club once said:  "Whatever it takes".  Love the Dees!!

Love this from an Adelaide supporter on BF:

"Building a good side are the Dees. Love and am somewhat envious of the "nasty" element you have bought in over the past 3-4 years, current Coach included"

Anyone know the last time the Dees won all 4 quarters?

Jst researched my own question..

Rd9 v Brisbane last year we won all quarters. Still a pretty rare event. Partocularly against reigning Premiers

Lots of discussion in the media about what has happened to the Bulldogs running game.  Yes, in part it is because the likes of JJ are not getting as much space, they aren't attacking the ball, have a hangover etc.

But I see an elephant in the room:  umpires are paying free kicks against them this year, especially throwing and incorrect disposal when tackled.  This slows their game, causes a turnover and the bulldogs can't or won't run the other way. 

I rarely, comment on umpires but this year they need to be applauded for the more equal treatment they are giving the Bulldogs.  I read somewhere they have been pinged 43 times so far this year for throwing vs 16 times for the whole of last year (26 games)

The puppies are fair weather sailors really and when the wind changes they have been found out.

I've just finished watching the replay of yesterdays cracking win, and I don't know if its just me or what, but listening to the commentators on Fox sports, we had amongst them in particular Huddo, he is so biased against us.

He seemed to spend much of his commentary umpiring the game and calling out his perceived infractions committed by us and hardly, if at all, by the Dogs! What a little sycophant. Now I know I am one-eyed, but he is just so blatantly obvious in what should be non partisan situation. I think Dwayne Russell has those leanings also. But Hudson, he has that face I'd just like to punch!

Oh well perhaps I'm just a bit too sensitive for my own good . Go Dees

My neighbour is s crows suporter and when we lost to them last season I texted him and said "ur team did well congrats". 

This season when we beat them into submission I didnt get a call or text or anything. 

Im surprised that a crows fan can acknowledge our team and it's hardness. 

My neighbour it such a fruit tingle and obviously a sore loser.

Agree and brad Johnson is a glorified dogs supporter and it's pathetic they let them commentate on their past teams. 

Couldnt give the dees a compliment and it was disgraceful tbh.

Its not just you and he has form. It spoils the commentary and was distracting. We did get the rub of the green but that is often the case with the team that is playing better.

Steady on!  Paul Roos is totally biased to the Dees when commentating on Fox and Ox is unashamedly a Dees tragic on SEN.

There are rumours of trouble in the Dogs camp with some players at odds with each other. Anyone hear anything about that? Was some talk on SEN today about it but nothing definitive....

    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
