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.


POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 14


Demonland

Recommended Posts

We won another three quarters this week. We've only lost one quarter (the third tonight) since half-time on QB.

We're equal-third for quarters won this year, on 33. Port's on 35, Adelaide 34, GWS also 33. 

Next highest after us is Sydney on 27 (Geelong can get to 28 by winning all four tomorrow).

Point being, there will be a 5 or 6 quarter gap between the (dare I say it) top 4 and the rest...

Guts, grind, self belief & belief in the team mate down the line. Against the odds & umps.

ABBA had an album called 'Arrival' - ashamed to admit I have it somewhere & it could get a spin tonight -'cause we just did.

Love ya Dees!!

The most impressive thing tonight was that in the last two minutes, with the game on the line, we win every clearance, every contest.

We seriously lacked composure in our close losses this year. Tonight we showed a composure and will to win we haven't seen for 11 years.

Can't post properly. Still shaking. Can't believe that win. [censored] incredible effort! Viney Tmac and Oliver were immense. How good is this young list!

Yes Dees! Still pumped! Predicting Tommy Mac to  kick 5 including the winner in the last 30 seconds would have got you carted  off in a white coat this morning. Old Dee, I hope that lid is buried somewhere deep in the Amazonian jungle!

Not since another game against the Eagles, one week and 12 years ago, have I felt this positive about the Demons.

The poetry of these last three games, each one against an opponent at the same spot on the ladder, each time winning and moving on one more step.

It is all very beautiful.

What a spectacle seeing all the lads gleefully running to the Eagles end of the ground after Tommy's hallelujah goal !!

Knew what to do ;)

Silly as it sounds Lewis's mark at the end was timely. Sure siren had just gone but that mark needed taking.

Go you good Dees ???

What a magnificent win and what a great leadership shown by Jack Viney.  The efforts of Cam Pedersen and Tom McDonald in the last quarter were magnificent.  Were back baby and bring on Friday night where I hope to celebrate my 59th birthday with a great win against Sydney. Bring on the big stage of Friday night football and lets get 70,000 at the mcg and make a big statement to the competition.  CARN THE DEMONS.

They never gave up! What champions! The Eagles seemed a lot bigger than us and we didnt look like we could compete with their talls. Enter Plugger McDonald; what a game. So good that it was McGovern who was trying to tackle him for that last goal. The best thing was that on one of the replays you can see McGovern look straight to the umpire while he was lying on the ground expecting him to do something about it!

When the inferior Jetta missed that goal was when I started to think, hmmm. Just had that feel to it.

The effort that went in to the last goal was immense. It goes down on the score sheet to PMac, but it had the blood and sweat from 22 of them. They were tired and injured, but they just kept grinding it forward with everything they had. I think it's the sheer guts of it that has made me giddy.

Lol @ the inferior Jetta. Damn straight! 

And the best part was we didn't carry on celebrating, Tom was the first to tell everyone to get back. Great leadership and poise. 

I still have no idea how or what happened, but dammit this is the last time I'm ever booking September holidays.

I think we stole it.  Last week was class, this week was grunt.  Outmarked, out tackled, poor handball to kick ratio.  Smashed in centre clearances ( and scores from).  3 point winners, a few standouts, a lot running behind their Eagle player.  Not sticking tackles.

however, we won.  [censored] brilliant.  Does the ticker no good at all.  Go Dees!

Jack Viney's game tonight is one of the most courageous performances I've seen from a captain in Melbourne colours. He is toughness personified, he will get all coaches votes and should have it double. 

Tommy Mac, wow. What a night, 5 goals anywhere anytime is good. Against the eagles on their home turf, amazing. 

What a game!

about 2.24 left in the final quarter, viney flung a tackler off his injured shoulder like he was a piece of skid marked bog paper

Tom Mac's goal was unbelievable! And thanks to some misses from West Coast late. 

It was that Hill miss on goal after he marked. I said 'game over' when he took it. Then the game turned...

    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
