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.

Supporter hoping a team loses...

 

 

 

Garry Lyon always tipped against us! Perhaps he’s not a supporter (or maybe his footy tipping credentials are more important to him)?

As though he needs the money! Eddie McGuire would never tip against Collingwood even if it was $100K: it simply sends the wrong message!

Over the last 10 years, they've had a much better chance of winning than us though!

a piece of trivia:

did you know Melksham has had more scoring shots on goal than T Mac this season?

Melk 14 goals - T Mac 25 goals. Plugger Mac really is so accurate.

also with Hogan on 31, I reckon we will have our highest goal scorer in many years this year if they stay fit. maybe 15 years?  when did Robbo kick 60-70?

Tip against us by all means.

Have a punt against us if you want.

But saying we "can't win" against Port is downright stupid. Some people's MFCSS is clearly incurable.

I'm actually more confident of beating Port than I was of beating the Pies.

Spot on mate. I reckon Port will be tough to beat, but we can knock them off. 

Last time I felt we couldn't win games before they started was in 2013. That feeling, thankfully, is long gone!

Jack Viney took Port apart at the G last year, in the game he came back to early!

Would love to see him dominate on Friday night!

Without the same injury!

Eddie is the president of the pies Lyon has nothing to do with the dees and thank god for that, when he did he gave us Bailey and Neeld.

Everyone has Pedersen being dropped, not so sure that will happen after 1 bad game when we had so many players down on form.

This is a really hard game to predict the changes for, I wouldn't be surprised if there was no change but also can see Tyson and Garlett coming back in and Petty debuting.  And a smokey could be JKH.

Can you please do up a new best 22, haven’t seen one for a few days!

Stack this game with a heap of South Aussies, as many as we can muster. Big incentive for them and the Coach, and they hate losing a mini "Derby". Next, Jones on "culpepper" and Viney tuned up for brickhead, that leaves, if they are not prevented from getting near the ball, the two best MFC ball players to "gray"se on. Last, Hogan could play his best game Friday night, and so could Petracca........

Dyson sucks. You should be more aware of that Dirts, given the threat to your existence.

Omac trained fully today, looking fwd to the challenge of Dixon, Guthrie obviously a dick

Or... Petty debuts alongside Oscar. Particularly, with Port's talls. My gut tells me Harry will debut this week.

Jones said after the Bulldogs game that the players were tired and looking forward to a 9 day break. It appears the players then mentally checked out. Let’s hope the bye resets the players attitude.

It actually looked that way against the pies, that match wasnt a true reflection of the Dees.

id go with no change.  back the team in that won 6 in a row.  It'll be dry and Port are tall so I think we keep Pedo in.  he had weeks of excellent form at Casey so deserves a game as no other fwds are knocking the door down at Casey

Tyson a chance to come in but not sure for who

Our biggest challenge this season.

Port coming off a confidence boosting win and most of their best players finding form.

We can win, but only if our mob brings its A game to all facets of the match.

Contested possession count and intensity need to go through the roof, and, somehow, our defence must find a way to cover Port's attack. We need to shut down Port particularly in the first half and try and negate their scoring options. Gawn and the midfield need to be all over Port from the first bounce.  

Can we negate Ports scoring options and at the same time maximize our scoring options?

It will certainly test our recovery and fitness as we need to be able to run and compete all night. 

A season defining match.

    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
