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.

interesting comments, seems most are confident.  I see it as 50-50. i think the odds are more based on hype in the media. 

If  your assessment of a 50-50 is correct  then hawks at 2.20 is brilliant value.

However the market suggests your assessment is not correct, hence why we are 1.70.

The pools for footy betting are way too big to be overly influenced by hype in the media. Hype in the media might influence tipping but the odds are initially set by bookies who'se key expertise in this regard is getting the odds right. Punters then respond to that assessment and shape the ensuing odds by betting their hard earned money. Not much room for media hype to be a big factor (or sentiment fir that matter).

Is #26 there again? ?

Apparently so , they have a few umpires injured so he still gets a game, it was the first thing I asked.

yeah and bookies never get it wrong huh?   (retorical)

firstly 50-50 is my prediction (opinion) on a game yet to occur so it cannot be incorrect.  Secondly, Odds are full of BS. one eyed supporters betting on their team influences odds and media certainly would influence them. How else would the Dees be favourite the beat Geelong in round 1?  2nd vs 9th from the previous year

I went to a game at Glenferrie Oval, so many years ago. There was a # 26 there that day. He kicked 8 to half time then Biffin and Bourke fell on him. I will never forget that day or that # 26 ever. 

If we get # 26 again on Sunday perhaps Hogan can fall on him. That ought to do it.

no hodge, gibson, burgoyne, Burchill from that team is a big difference

That’s a lot of finals experience gone right there. 

We can beat Whorethorn, it’s how well the Coaches prepare and the leaders do their stuff. 

So often Whorethorn just obliterate teams early, the MFC have to dictate most of the game

Just on a side note we have scored Razor Ray as one of the umpires Saturday

whilst people are potting umpires... does anyone actually RATE any of the umpiring fraternity, and if so who and why?

Of couse bookies get it wrong. Though they make their profits by being less wrong than the mug punters.

i didnt say your prediction waa incorrect. i said the market suggests it isnt. The art of punting - and rhw only way to makw money ovee time - is accurately assessing  the odds of something happening and if the market has that event at longer odds taking those odds. So, as a punter, if i thought a game was 50-50 but could get 2.20 foe on the teams i would take that bet.

Odds are most certainly not bs in terms of being accurate predictors od the results of football games. And as i said rhe pools so big that the impact  factors such as media hype or one eyed supporters is negligible.

Do you really think the dees started fav against geelong because of one eyed supporters? 

The bookies actually opened us at 2.20 just prior to our second jlt game. We played well, geelong not so well and the market tightened. But we only became favourite when it was announced danger would't play. We started at 1.85, so only very slight favourites. And we missed a goal from 20 metres dead in front after only xonceding 17 points in rhe secind half and dominating the last. I think the odds were pretty accurate.

Explain your logic.

It really doesn't make sense.

Which part? I think its a coin toss Game but have a feeling we might get done by the Hawks. I think we match up well against Richmond and we have a tendency to get up for big games so I think we might win that one.

Saturdays game against Whorethorn is just as big for us as the Anzac day game

If Frost can ‘accidentally’ take Mitchell’s head off with a stumbling, collapsing hip ‘n’ shoulder, we might go alright?

Hawks by 5 goals for mine......

Even though I like the executable element of this scenario, I feel sorry for Mitchell  ... please believe me ... just a little ... OK then, don't.

Frosty is the Man! Just hope that his 'accidental' fall a la hip & shoulder doesn't hurt him.

Mitchell's influence on a match imo is minimal. I don't see him as much of a playmaker. When Hawthorn win, it's because they're rebounding out of defense and their forwards are delivering. No Burgoyne is a huge out for them, and if our forwards can pressure and negate opposition rebounding as they have in the last 2 rounds, Mitchel could end up with 50 touches and we'll still win by 40 points.

I like your optimism, but I understand Razor Ray is umpiring...

    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
