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.

Another game against Essendon. Another Away game against Essendon.

Obviously we won't be wearing our regular strip so will we be allowed to wear the Royal Blue number or is will it be considered to have too much red in it?

Will we be forced to brush the mothballs off the 2017 White Clash monstrosity?

Since 2005 we have played 1 home game against Essendon. Why is this? it is absolutely appalling. Another example of the stupid nature of the "Fixture"

The MCC has requested we play Carlton and Essendon as away games at the MCG in order to play more MCG games in a given year.

The trouble is the last 2 years the AFL have scheduled our Essendon away game at Etihad.

You do realise that we have to have a balance of home vs away games for a year, don't you?

To get your wish of a home game against Essendon, it would mean we have to give up a home game against someone else.  Want to give up Queen's Birthday?  Anzac Eve when it's our turn?

I'm sure we'd all prefer to give up the Northern Territory games, but it provides an income that we currently rely on.

The only "fair" way to do a fixture (in terms of playing teams both home and away), is to have a rotational fixture over a set number of years (possibly 2 or 3).  I just hope you realise that if we do this, there will be years where we miss out on hosting our marquee games.

At least many of those have been at the G to maximise the attendance through the MCC. I guess now we're stuck playing them after Anzac Day so it's almost certain to be at Etihad with Collingwood v Richmond at the G.

This is such a typical negative attitude.

When Anzac Day is on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday, there's absolutely no reason we have to be "stuck" playing Essendon the following week.

Seriously, a lot of our supporters are as mentally soft, if not softer, as many of the blokes that get to pull on our jumper.

I always assumed that the AFL made us play away to Essendon because they didn't force Essendon to have a suitable clash guernsey hence forcing us to wear that White jumper.

Good question Jnr. Is there an economic reason, some arrangement between the clubs we don’t know about? 

Or is it just the evil corrupt AFL head honchos in their ivory Tower conspiring to [censored] the MFC and help out the Bummers in every way possible?

It bears repeating, but if Essendon is wearing black shorts and we're wearing white shorts, why do we even need a clash jumper? (Rhetorical question. We all know the answer which is "Because. The AFL says so, even though there isn't a good reason.")

Hopefully either the one on the left or the right.

Not a fan of the royal blue.

My 5yo son likes the Royal Blue jumper better than the Navy Blue one :laugh:

I remember reading some time ago that this was the "compromise" instituted by the AFL for always having a home game against Collingwood.

What a condescending post and a BS argument. No one else has to give up 'blockbuster' games, nor should we.

In any case I'd be happy to give up playing Gold Coast at the G or Frem.

In addition to Essendon, since 2005 we have only had:

5 homes games against Carlton

7 v Richmond

5 v Geelong

And for example, Carlton haven't played at Geelong since 1997, Ess since 1993 and Coll since 1999.

No wonder teams have such different gate receipts from football. We are denied access to big games against large drawing Vic clubs and its wrong.

And BTW we rotate the ANZAC day Eve game with Richmond.

Seriously, pull ya head in, I'm not being negative nor am I mentally soft. Fact is whilst we play Anzac eve the AFL will fixture us against one of the teams that plays on Anzac Day. The Pies are out given QB, which leaves Essendon. Yes when it falls on a weekend it's a moot point, but when it's coming off a short break we'll play Essendon most likely at Docklands - which isn't a problem in my book.

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
