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.


GAME DAY - ROUND 3

Recommended Posts

In this 17 match losing sequence of ours against Norf, I have never been to church on the same day of a game we have played against them.

I am in gd spirits and i thinks it's our time to end one of the most unexplainable losing streaks in VFL/AFL history. 

Enough is Enough now, time to inflict some pain of our own.

In the first two rounds despite some improvements there were strong hints of the mental demons that plagued us last season and for years before. Today will prove they still exist in a big way and nothing’s changed or are finally on the way out.

Having lost the ability to confidently predict anything, good or bad, from our team. 

I’m expecting to be excited, anxious, angry, euphoric, hopeful, despondent and over it.

And that’s just the first quarter...

Then I’m expecting we’ll click and pound these smarmy forkers into the hallowed turf for three quarters as The fairhful roar and release the rage and humiliation accumulated over the past decade.

Looking forward to it. 

Go Dees

Slightly conflicted.

Daughter has a 'rock climbing' party to attend at 3:30. Right next to the rock climbing centre is a brewery with a great tap room and also a great outdoor area for kids. Wife suggests she takes daughter to party and I can spend some 'quality' time with the boy at the brewery. I'd need to record the game and enforce a complete media blackout until home...and that would also mean talking to the boy, who I love dearly, but conversations at the moment are solely about cars (Mustangs and Bugattis) and beyblades (whatever the [censored] those are).

Or, stay at home and swear at the TV in real time.

Convince the wife you'll spend quality time with the boy at the MCG. I'm sure she'll be fine at the rock climbing centre by herself. Also it may make your conversations that little bit more diverse ;)

I had a dream we lost and I had an emotional breakdown. 

Maybe in 8 hours that dream will be a reality. 

Feeling a real lack of confidence today. After last week, even if we are 60 points up at half time, I still will be expecting a loss. North just know how to beat us.

There is more pressure on this game than many think. Or maybe everyone realises it.

In my opinion the finals hoodoo and the North hoodoo need to die together. We only have them once this year I cannot deal with another 12 months of this crap. Get the job done Dees. And then onward and upward to bigger things.

Even the Saints were with them goal for goal for a half.

North are putrid.

Sad indictment of the coaching staff that we lost to them twice last year.

Not so much the second game.

The boys wanted to play champagne football on a day they should have been willing to settle for Tooheys Red. The conditions didn't lend themselves to flair and pinpoint skills but our blokes persisted with that anyway.

We can’t afford to give them a sniff today - we need to jump them in the first quarter and apply intense pressure for four full quarters.

If we let them in the game or they get in front at any point they know we’ll be battling against them as well as our own heads.

At the G with my daughter and I have already heard a  Norf supporter tell his friend that North should win as they only have to stop Hogan and we have nothing. 

Time to smash these bastards and their smug supporters. 

Just get it done Dees.

When a  North supporter brags about their home and away win streak against us I just remind them that we eliminated them from the 2002 and 2000 Finals series.

They shut up fast.

Tarrant a late out....

I have no reason to doubt you Cards, so this is huge if true.  

Could we have possibly known this in advance, hence the reason that we were happier to go in with a smaller forward line?

Good option, but the 'G is a 7 hour drive from home, so I've left that run a bit late.

I have come up with a brilliant compromise (for me) though. Buy some of the local beer and stay at home to watch the game live. All the taste of the brewery plus the footy. As a bonus the boy gets to listen up to some profane language.

Several  years ago I put a nice bottle of Barossa shiraz to one side to cellarbrate ( sic ) ‘crushing the hoodoo’.  Thanks to our abysmal record against NM, it’s now perfectly aged, and should be drinking beautifully.  I’m very confident that I’ll be enjoying it this evening, but not so confident that I'll be pulling the cork to let it breathe before around 5:00pm.  Dees by 30 points.

You don't happen to have a nice MFC cheese board to go with it do you DOF?

    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
