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.

So the thing that stood out for me on the replay, after Gus gets a bump, Gawn running past and givining him a tap on his noggin, absolute gold, had me chuckling, Gawn is one of our heart beats without doubt, love the bloke. Commentators were funny as well, "don't pat him on the head pat him on the bum".

Well its the day after, and it apparently really happened - we stood up with our season on the line and beat a team also fighting to make the finals.

I guess this means we will lose to Brissy this week?

How could you tell it had been about 10 years?

I wear my 'traditional' scarf because I like it better than the modern ones and have been a Redlegs member for about 20 years so have plenty of members scarves to choose from!

And no one wearing red and blue should be called a [censored].  We need all the supporters we can get.

Good to know that you have a ranking system worked out. Can cheers squad members spit on you because you only get to the local games? Just asking.

...and i disagree with you, and that ground will come to suit him better and better as time goes by, and i've seen a few Weidemans' play some pretty good hard footy there over the years.....

Yeah? Well that's great.. Let me know when he gets out of second gear pal.

Just about the biggest cheer of the day was when we finally received a free kick early in the final quarter.

Yes, that was a massive cheer and a key moment in the match (from which we got a goal and effectively snuffed out the Saints' challenge). It never ceases to amaze me how umps can change the momentum of matches with their decisions.  Third quarter case in point - Razor seemed to single-handedly will the Saints back into  the contest.

The free kick wasn't against Jetta....it was paid downfield because Longer blocked Tom McDonald from trying to get to a saints player & McDonalds arm went high.....quite soft.  Also on watching replay ....in 4th qrt when Harmes (&melb) finally got a free kick and the crowd roared...Sandy Roberts incorrectly assumed we were giving the Bronx cheers to Harmes because he hadn't scored a goal since qrt time.....listening to the commentary afterwards on TV ....I thought the only one that gave us a go was Dunstall

Not sure that is much of a qualification.

it is a bit like saying I go to every court case in Melbourne so that makes me a Judge.

Just be happy we won, finals are in sight and there where lots of MFC fans there.

There was a big contingent of very confused looking students at the top of the Olympic - some with a distinctive eastern European accents - trying to figure out what they needed to do, where to sit, deciphering what the food offerings were... etc.  Beneficiaries of the free tickets methinks, and a few of them had brand new merch on!  Hope they liked what they saw yesterday and come back!

Weideman, Garlett and Trac our three lowest ranked players on the day. That's half our forward line. Throw in Watts, Salem, Hogan not playing. We've been hit much harder by injuries, personal issues and poor form than the Bulldogs did last year. Not saying we'll win the flag but we're still playing with one of the least experienced sides in the comp and we've responded when we've needed to. I thought the Saints would run over us they way they played in the 3rd. Sometimes there are no surprises with this team like when we lost to North. But there has been equal number of surprises the other way. If we could get some frigging luck our way and get a run like Port has with injuries then we really could beat anyone. They've barely had an injury this year and can't beat a top 8 side.

Would still be a massive disappointment if we miss finals but it's been a character building season for this team, no doubt. They have to take confidence from yesterday. They just have to. 

Imagine if Trac and Garlett had on days?

A big shout out to Milkshake who's not had the easiest of years, but not once, but twice received the ball and just about on one step went bang and kicked two great goals from around fifty meters out. Impressive yesterday.

I still wear the scarf I've had since I was about 6. Probably time to wash it...

Win or lose v Brisbane I know we will give it a crack. Should win it but we are still prone to drop quarters with turnovers when under pressure. Brisbane are playing well and no easy beats. Good signs if we start well and keep the foot down to win by 6-8 goals.

So what?

Not everybody could afford to go to every home game, others have family commitments on the weekends as it's the only time they have available, others come from country areas or interstate... there are so many valid reasons that people aren't able to be regular attendees. I and my son get to just a couple of games each year because a) We live in Sydney, and b) having no regular income (having been made redundant at the ripe old age of 63) makes it a financial stretch. I still pay mine and my son's memberships every year as do probably many of those you are deriding in your post.

But it does beg the question... how do you even know that they aren't regulars?

Saw quite a few with pamphlets on the rules of the game (Shame someone didn't give them to the umps). They would have been rightly confused by what they saw but I was amused by hearing one say when reading the pamphlet "you mean they have to bounce the ball every 15 metres, that's weird"

    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
