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.

Pretty sure a lot of the North Members are going to be in the Ricky Ponting stand, so hopefully you'll be alright.

Don't worry about the ferals, worry about the weather, it's going to be cold and rainy so rug up. If the wind comes across the Derwent it's nasty! :)

Yep,  I'm  heading down Friday to make a weekend of it. Looking forward to it. Haven't bought tix yet.  Probably just getting GA I reckon! 

My Hobart rumour is that it sold out a week ago, best you check out GA availability before hitting the skies.

I landed last night. Had an interesting flight with the Pres of the Glenorchymagpies and one of Jimmy's Hobart Dees supporting Irish mates.

Now all I'm hoping for is a win on Saturday and no localised Gnasher penalty points !

Making a long weekend of it.

I think the seats I got are in the Ponting Stand, but I'm not convinced the Roos would ever pull a big crowd of keen supporters there, least of all at the end of a very disappointing bottom 4 season against a rampaging top 4 chance.

And if I end up in the middle of them, my god are they going to hear about it.

All of the interstate tickets are for the half dozen seats on the hill side. It's GA and near the boozer so pretty good spot. There was a reasonable dees presence on the hill last year. Norf fans in the Ricky Ponting stand mainly from memory.

Folks

couple of things for those coming down. 

For those with Melbourne members tickets- you will be behind the point post at the Southern end of the ground.

There are free ferries departing from the Casino to  Bellerive - 6 minute walk to the ground. Free buses will depart from the city to Belerieve - walk 2 minutes to the ground.

If you have hired a car - good luck parking is no great around the ground - follow the signs to the allocated parking areas- walk up to 10 minutes to the ground,

The Wagon and Horses pub located  in North Hobart publican is a Melbourne member and rusted on fanatic. He is offering free beer prior to the start of the game until the first goal is kicked,

 

Article in the Hobart Mercury

BRENDON Garland is digging deep to prove his love for the mighty Dees.

The licensee of North Hobart’s Waggon and Horses and the younger brother of veteran Melbourne defender Colin is shouting the drinks on Saturday until the first goal is kicked between the Demons and North Melbourne across the river at Blundstone Arena.

“And anyone who brings a [match] ticket back after the game gets a free drink on entry

See you at the game - Go D's.

There was free tickets to be had through some AFL Multicultural Round promo. Grabbed a couple of extras the other week, then got an e-mail yesterday telling me these free tickets come with a Norf members cap. Like I will be getting that!!

North have a decent following down here, plus a lot of the neutral supporters support north because they are the 'home' side and have a decent presence in Hobart. We love our footy down here so a lot of neutrals go to games just because it's afl being played in Hobart. Ben Brown is Tasmanian so the locals love him. Typically my dees are playing in my home town and I have to bloody work. 

Last year the Melbourne members area behind the point post in he southern stand was a great spot to sit, plenty of Melbourne supporters (obviously) and a great atmosphere.

My recommendation or clothing (in order of putting it on) would be thermal, t-shirt, windcheater, jacket, raincoat, then your Melbourne jumper over the top of your raincoat. Although it won't be as bad as the richmond vs north game here on a Friday night in June last year. Whoever scheduled that needed a kick up the backside. That was as cold as a game of football gets. I'm talking cold eyeballs cold. If you can get your hands on a Tasmanian tuxedo (puffer jacket), then do it! Might be reasonable at the beginning of a game but come full time it will be very cold.

Shame about the forecast rain, I reckon that will bring the two teams closer together.

Hope all the travellers have a good time down here and go dees!

Tix still available but GA is 29 plus 8 ticket delivery/ handling etc... Pretty steep for GA !

I'm a local, and will not be missing this for the world!

Being a deprived AFL fanatic, I go to every Hobart game and can say North have established a pretty good following (unfortunately) here. The biggest noises come from the Ricky Ponting Stand FWIW.

The atmosphere for a Demons fan was great at the hill area last year too.

We're going, but no idea where we're sitting. Going with the family. Flying in, flying out. Never been to Tassie. They tell me it's cold. ?

the afternoon sea breeze coming from mt wellington can be a killer though

    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
