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.

North play two games a year at the G. I reckon that one counted as having home ground advantage.

It's also no one's fault but ours that we sold the Adelaide home game to Alice Springs.

By home ground advantage I mean playing an interstate team in Victoria or Geelong playing at Kardinia Park two Victorian teams at the G or Etihad is 50 50  . Tassie games for north or Hawthorn are often WA teams which is a huge advantage. NT games 50 50 if we play SA or WA teams.

In regards to Carlton. I have a close friend who’s a one-eyed Blue. He has been optimistic about his club and went as far as saying last year his team would be pushing for finals in 2019. He contacted me last night to say he’s finally conceded and can’t see a way out for his once proud club. Clearly disappointed with recruiting, coaching/game plan and just about everything else.

No doubt a few of us had similar thoughts during our dark days but how many players on the Carlton list would you take to play at the MFC? Cripps and C Curnow would be the only 2 right now and maybe a fit Docherty but according to Gil it’s an exciting list that deserved multi prime time fixtures. I’m not sure getting rid of Bolton will fix anything down there.

Bolton seems a very nice chap.  Not sure about his man management side but could do with an old head for assistance / support IMO.

Had lunch with 3 Carlton tragics today and they have all conceded as well.  Some said he should go, others thought he needed the above help.  Paul Roos was mentioned on a number of occasions.  Doubt he will go back into the fire again though.

They all said that the Demon phoenix has given them some sort of hope, given we were in a similar trough a few years back.

They also asked if i thought we would win the premiership.  I said i have only ever taken it one week at a time supporting the MFC and was just hoping we can make finals at this point but also we have struggled against the rated / better teams in most cases but hopefully learning from those losses.

Remind him how bad the Demons were from 2012-2014.  

Carlton are in a much better position.. they actually have some talent to work with.

Their window started and finished when they paid for an extra seat on their return flight for the cup, before they even played the game.

I hope Tex is enjoying all the success which Lever left.

And there is alot more to the Crows Season (Gold Coast Pre Season camp) that meets the eye. Might have involved a situation that occured on the team bus. To see what the players would do in that situation who does that at a football club.

Very, very unhappy Football Club i must say.

Is it possible that Carlton's plan is to be the hardest team to play against in the league?? If so, that plan is going real well so far. Just as long as they don't surpass our record as the best team in the league for guarding space.

Hardest team to watch play I believe is their goal.

They drove the players to Metricon Stadium and told them they were all going to be traded there if they didn’t win this years flag.

Huge couple of weeks for the Dees. 

It is going to tell the story as to whether we are the real deal or imposters.  I am hoping that our expectations have not got ahead of us. 

The way we lost to Collingwood is a real worry.  We need to have a huge improvement from that game to beat Port. They have some of their best players back in form.

After Port, the Cats are going to be a real test. Despite their loss they have a big upside with probably at least 6 players returning from injury that will make a major difference to their line-up. 

Getting nervous and worried? You betcha. 

We not only need the points but we need to regain the confidence that only winning can instill.

It will be a real test of our ability, game plan, and, most importantly, our character.

What annoyed me with the Pies lost was any team with half a backbone would've refused to let them beat us after what happened last year and it was evident in the first minute we didn't come to play, I blame poor leadership, no better time to fight back than after a rest in a must win game.

This reads like we play Geelong the week after Port?

We don't have Geelong until we've played St Kilda, Fremantle and the Dogs first.

Correct, just thinking about the challenge of getting over the Cats. Wait, Nigel from Brunswick has just reminded me that there is also "the Fremantles" who seem to be coming into form. 

Will need to increase all my meds.

No, but Stockholm Syndrome might explain why Carlton have got so many Friday night games.

6 days only you reckon? i reckon it would have been 2 weeks with the amount of friday nights they recieved.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 03 vs Port Adelaide

    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
