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

Can't even discuss the actual game yet, only how the win felt.

I was at the ground. I brought a ticket through Ticketmaster and some how ended up sitting in an Eagles reserved seating section. I literally could not see another Melbourne supporter. I was by myself. I cheered everything we did and got stared at, people whispered about me, one woman asked her husband if they could move away. I wasn't badly behaved. I was just passionate.

Because those Eagles supporters they don't understand - I fell in love with this footy club in 1987. I was sitting with my old man on the half forward flank when Jimmy ran over the mark and Buckenara kicked the goal in the Prelim. I've sat through horrible horrible performances - multiple 100 point floggings at the G (just 4 years ago). I'd do it all again for that win, and the effort and energy we showed to drag ourselves over the line in that last quarter.

When Tommy Mac kicked the last goal I went bananas. And then when the siren went I went absolutely ballistic. You know those sad people at sporting events going nuts who you think 'calm down mate, maybe you need more going on in your life'? - that was me!

Im pretty sure I looked like the slow mo of Stevie J when he kicked the sealer a couple of weeks back - but in real time.

It was ugly. I don't care. That was an absolute delight.

I love this footy club, and I love that I at least have a place on the internet to share something like this with people who get it.

Go The Dees. I believe. 

Define bananas.

Been in back of my nuts Canberra all week for work...missus stitched me up with a "dinner" tonight with some randoms, so couldn't see or hear any of the game, except the odd phone score update during a wee break...

Ended up with 43 text messages during and after the game, came home to rip into the gas and watch the replay at it didn't bloody tape on Foxtel!!

Amazing win but the world can GOGF'd!!

Tomorrows replay it is!

Might need a new missus...

I've watched the Viney/Hurn incident a number of times and I'm afraid he might cop a week or 2. His eyes were on the ball but I think the fact that he jumped and got air and then hit Hurn's head hard with his hip will cost him. Don't think a pirouette will save him this time.

His eyes being on the ball should be what gets him off. If not for Hurn touching the ball Viney takes possession of it. Viney didn't raise an elbow nor did he go past the ball to initiate contact.

I get that but they also don't like the jumping and making contact with the head. Might come down to the medical report from the Eagles and they might be [censored] at the result.

Players can get kneed in the head when someone flys for a speccy. Viney was playing the ball, yes he left the ground but he didn't tuck an elbow in when doing so. If he gets a week/s for this the club should fight it.

No

I couldnt watch it ....could listen on the radio. On the replay Viney clearly playing the ball and eyes firmly on it so hopefully he'll be ok. But he may miss with his shoulder anyway.

At half time the idiot WA commentators were both sayng Oliver should get suspended for faking re the hit he took. Saying the league needed to crack down on players falling over for frees. Unbelievable. Why would you "fake" for a free AFTER the half time siren...then lie on the ground holding your chin. hmmmmm, crazy thought I know,  but maybe he got hit??? Then with 5 minutes to go they started gloating..remembering the way the world was in 2002 (the last tie we beat them there) Each trying to out do each other. Sooooooo satisfying to shut them up it really was.

Would it have made any difference if it was a marking contest?

I disagree but who knows really.

Was that you behind the goals in the Eagles area when TMac kicked the last goal. Someone there was jumping up and down fist pumping like a champion. With sad faces all around him. Loved it!

Who was the guy behind the goals when TMac kicks the winner? He goes nuts and I loved it.

Looks like it was 'The heart beats true'.  Going by these posts he sure lived up to his name!

He is a brave man to weather the Weagles supporters.  He did all of us proud.

 

On a side note - Goodwin's reaction on the siren was also priceless - especially for a guy who oozes calm regardless of circumstances!

Watched it again just now as didn't think much of it at the time. Jack was running at the ball with the sole aim to take possession (eyes squarely for the ball, reasonable attempt etc), WC player running with flight of ball with sole aim to take possession, both jump in attempt to take possession, crash into each other, one comes off second best. Nothing to see here.

I want to hear that. The 6PR commentators are the worst going around, even worse than they're 5AA counterparts in Adelaide.

After the game Darcy and Richo interviewed Oliver and asked if the hit connected or if it did, did it hurt.  It sounded like they were trying to bait him into saying it was nothing, effectively that he was staging.  (This was after their in game commentary where they said there was nothing in it).

I thought it was unfair to put a 19 year old under that scrutiny on national tv.  To his credit Oliver said he wasn't expecting it so it knocked him over and yes, the doctors did check him out at half time.  Well done, Oliver!

I was just having a look at the West Coast thread on BigFooty, Their posters are admitting that we are a good side unlike other supporters from teams that we have played in the last few weeks. We are starting to be taken seriously.

Loved last night game. 

Other than Viney and TMac it was an all round team performance. Harmes, Bugg and ANB's gut running is under appreciated on this site. All 3 help provide the manic pressure that we are becoming famous for.

I note last night the news.com site was running early with the " did Oliver take a dive shlt" even before they put up we had won. They're still pushing this. More murdoch mud..fair dinkum...talk about fake news :rolleyes:

We are now a team that plays 4 quarters. 

We are now a team that is competitive. 

We are now a team that wants to WN.  

I haven't felt this happy or proud about our club in a very long time. 

Keep it up boys.

Exactly as I see it, last week Shuey runs past the ball , takes out Dangerfield with a high hit , escapes with a fine because it was classed as unintentional ie he didn't intend to hit him high. This was incidental contact in a contest for the ball

    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
