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.

Pedo kicked one and tmac 2

I was having a few frothies at the time so my memory isn't super clear haha.

For some reason I thought it was T Mac kicked 2 in a minute

I don't mean to be a party pooper but has anyone actually thought about the probabilities of Tom McDonald kicking his fifth and match winning goal over his head, in Perth with 20 seconds to go?

I dropped my toast this morning and it landed vegemite side up. I'm not liking the signs

I was actually worried about how we might need to restructure our foward play around a strong focal point for Hogan when he comes back, but last night proves we can do it.  I think Hogan will also be pretty happy with some of the delivery into the forwardline at the moment.

Yeh it's a very good point... We do seem to move the ball a lot better when we're not dump kicking or bombing under pressure to Hogan.... It's been proven this season

 

I think though when the going gets really tough and the take no prisoners finals comes around you need guys like Hogan/Gawn/Weed (I know hes too young right now) to be there to take grabs and bring the ball to ground. 

If you don't have those big guys up forward I think as a team in big games you get exposed.

For me why are WCE so poor at the moment///??? Their team balance is out. If Kennedy plays for WCE yesterday, WCE win. Because McGovern takes those strong grabs in defence - Pedo/T Mac don't take those grabs and instead of can't kick McGovern shooting at goal for WCE you have a coleman medallist.

While I love our fast unpredictable forward line - I think it gets exposed in really big games without Hogan there

I think most of us realise it was a fluke based on good luck and good circumstance - see my post above....

But I'm not sure what your point is? DOn't enjoy a win?

When Hannan goes to the contest, either something good happens for us or something bad happens for the opposition. To my way of thinking, this guy is the pick up of the year....... for any team.

Reviewed the Hurn/Viney incident several times and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Both players were courageous and going for the ball. Hurn just got there a fraction quicker with his hand. If Viney gets suspended then time for the mob to descend on AFL House and burn it down.

I survived , I was behind the goals the as the ball sailed through I stood up double fisted pump the air  and yelled out a very long Yesssssssss that you may have heard on the east coast surrounded by some of the most one eyed supporters I have everseen. 

That was you? You bloody legend.

I think a few thought that might have been me because of my earlier post, but I was on the wing. 

I love Melbourne supporters. We have this unashamed passion borne from years of being in the wilderness that means we are used to being outnumbered and just yell louder. We've got nothing to lose, and it shows.

The problem is that Hurn was more injured than Dangerfield was (not a criticism of Hurn, btw.).

Shuey was charged but it was careless with low impact to the head. That's a $1,500 sanction, down to $1,000 with a plea.

If Viney is charged, he might get careless and medium impact to the head. That's 2 matches down to 1 match with a plea.

The issue is whether or not Viney gets charged at al. Dale Thomas got off because the MRP said he was contesting the ball, therefore no reportable offence. If the MRP says Viney was contesting the ball, then he should be fine. Otherwise, he'll get a week (assuming it was "medium" impact as it forced Hurn from the field),

Viney jumped up to punch the ball away. In play and just for the record, Hurn is reported as having a sore chest. Therefore most likely contact to the chest in play. 

If Shuey got off for running past the ball and cleaning Danger up in the head, then nothing here. 

On the other hand he is a Demon so life ban.

My wife walked into the front room where I was watching the game last night just as Plugger Mac kicked the winner. She looked at me strangely, as I was standing right in front of the TV shaking my fists in a more animated version of Goody. It took me a while to explain we'd just gone in front with 20 secs to go because I was panting quite hard.

she understood in the end, I think. Took me a while to wind down!

Hahaha my wife who goes for the dogs was leaping up and down fists in the air in front of the TV with me when he kicked that goal. Man I love my wife! ❤️

Woke up this morning and wondered was it all a dream.

Watched replay over breakfast.

Noted blatant back push on Oliver at around 2 mins to go on boundary line.

Still didnt stop us winning.

It such a tough year you need to win games you dont expect.

Well done Dees this one goes down in history for me.

That must of really stung those mad eagles fans.

Loved the Melbourne supporter in crowd (Left of left goal or behind post) in black. 

His reaction speaks for all of us.

On Saturday night scoreboard which followed our game,  Ben Dixon and Kate Sheehan were praising the game of Max Gawn in regards to his 19 hitouts to advantage in his first game back from a long absence. 

To quote Brad Johnson, the so called host of this show in reply to their praise of Max. " He's done that on the back of one game in the 2's so he was ready to do that." 

I hope that not one dollar from my Foxtel subscription goes to a buffoon like Johnson. It's bewildering the amount of times these so called experts misinform the viewers and getting paid top dollar to do it. You can't value their opinions at all, that's why Demonland is the best fan forum around for opinions, discussions and humour. Keep up the good work team!

Best Sunday ever coming up!!!

Yes I spat out my beer when he said that! 

And let's not forget that Basil Zemplis moron. He called Pedo 'Garland', (forget player) 'Oliver' and Tom/Oscar the wrong way around. 

Fair dinkum. Who the hell is this guy and how did he get this gig? God knows how much he gets paid- at least learn the players' names.

now we're exiting irrelevancy, these clowns need to do their homework!

That block by Frosty at the end which allowed Lewis to mark uncontested was great too.

The umpires must be kicking themselves that they let that one go.

Seriously, that umpiring from about the second quarter onwards was pathetic.

Frost tripped, Hibberd grabbed over the shoulder, Melksham penalised for a West Coast player falling over.

We need a supporter with too much time on their hands to make a video with them all like the nuffie Collingwood supporter did.

We were lucky we didn't have the WB vs North umpires.  They paid a similar block as an 'illegal shepherd' against Mason Wood and Brown's goal was disallowed in the dying seconds!

    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
