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.

Buckleys farewell, the pies will get up for that.

Nah, just kidding, you got me, I forgot the pies game, so that's 5 more wins, you are definitely playing finals.

Plus a mid-wicket, mid-on, 3 slips and a gully - yep he's a complete joke FFS. Mind you I can't find any Ch 7 common taters that I like, which is why I always turn the sound down and listen to the on-line radio (I use live pause to sync them up so I'm usually 5 -10 seconds behind everyone else)

Nope, you guys are made of stern stuff these days, no easy beats. Realistically you are better than us, and we played horribly that day and weren't really in it. The Sydney and Brisbane games were games we should have won cos we were in very very winnable positions in both.

Yep, should have clarified, I'm Essendon

Despite tonights result, our losses to Sydney and Brisbane will cost us playing finals.

Unlike Melbourne. I see you guys making it which is a tremendous effort considering the injury hurdles you guys have faced this year. You should win at least 4 more games [Port at MCG, Saints, Brisbane and NM], which gets you in the 8.

What's your business here...?imagejpeg

Both players in their 2nd season, hopefully both have long careers ahead and both clubs have great players.

I wouldn't judge Parish on 3 quarters of football.

The same way I wouldn't judge Oliver on his Friday effort against the Swans 2 weeks ago.

The game where Oliver had 24 disposals and 6 tackles? Yeh I agree, that's crap by his standards.

Going ok

Live in Cranbourne East these days, about a 2 min drive to Casey Fields, so I get to watch Casey pretty regularly.

Last few years have been tough following the Dons, but no conversion to the Dees yet.

Outside of the Demons, I don't care who wins or loses. But it's great watching 'contenders' get exposed week after week. We seem to have matured and turned the corner in close finishes, and have gained greater confidence in our plan. Now fix the injury count and there aren't too many areas of vulnerability that can be exploited to ultimately overcome our game-style.

Fingers crossed the Dockers win. Meth Coke won't win a final in Victoria, Dockers won't make one to begin with, Dockers win and both WA teams effectively ruled out of finals (plus the Mrs and her family are one eyed Dockers fans; anything for a peaceful life)

Parish had a massive 12 disposals to 3/4 time. Wish we took him over Oliver! Bwahahahaha!

Were you watching the game or just looking at the stats?

He was playing back pocket/half back for a lot of the game. Clearly not his ideal position but developing some flexibility in his game.

Oliver is a good pick, but the same sort of statement could be made about Weideman and any number of interchangeable players  , where the gap is much greater.

I missed Bruce's comment but if he seriously said Essendon will become people's second team he obviously underestimates how much the competition hates them. 

It doesn't matter if I find out my soul mate is a mad hatter Essendon fan, I will never support them above being slightly less hated than Collingwood.

Fox Footy are seriously the kiss of death. Every time they analyse a team and say "oh they are definitely up there and here's why" that team hits a brick wall. Watch them jump right off and call them pretenders who believe their own hype and have a bad culture. 

Also the Sun Herald has a "kiss of death". A serious 4 page spread on the Saints yesterday. They did the same to us before the Sydney match.

Thanks Clint, I realised my mistake when I was putting my multis on, I still think if their mids can get the upper hand they are in with a shot.

Also missed the comment, must have been said whilst flicking channels and getting NRL scores but just like the title of this thread , everything NON MFC is just that!

NO WAY IN HELL!!!!!

It's sad that a great caller of sport, who is battling a serious illness, may end up being remembered for the sycophantic, fawning and poor commentary that he is now delivering. 

Bruce was so much better previously and one can only think that the illness is to blame for the drop in his once great standard. 

He is a genuine nice guy and maybe like footballers should have retired when he was still playing/calling reasonably well. 

I wish him well in his battle and appreciate all the great work he has done in the past and personally I will recall the best of him and not this year's football commentary. 

All that said, he is still better than some of the inaccurate, biased, AFL bum kissing, umpire protected commentary,  that is served up by  some of the other so called, football commentators and callers  .

    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
