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.

Losing is simply not an option if we want to play finals. Luckily we’ll come out pumped up and show the Dogs what we’re made of. Dogs by 27.

That’s a strange prediction ET following on from the preceding two sentences! ?

I really want Melbourne to win too make a bad week a little bit better. My 88 year old mother is currently in hospital after having her appendix removed on Monday.  I will be visiting her on the way to the game. A win would really lift my spirits. CARN THE DEMONS.

After the Hawthorn & Richmond losses I stopped caring so much and we went on a 6 game winning streak... The St.Kilda game crushed me again, so I've gone back to not caring so much. Can't watch tonights game which will be weird, I can't recall ever not watching a game on t.v. atleast. Dees by 23, hoping more than anything!

That just described my season also...

mind you, i am always optimistic!

Turn a higher percentage of  Forward 50 entries in goals, and we win easily. Although our win/loss ratio has been very patchy, we have been playing good footy between the opposition goal and our half forward line. 

Either

1. TMac, Hogan or Fritsch have to take F50 marks and convert most into goals

2. Midfield and half forwards (Petracca, Brayshaw, Harmes) have to kick goals running into F50

3. ... or Garlett, Spargo and ANB have to get crumb goals.

It would be great if all 3 happened.

Amazing weather down here for the game. Literally no excuses. 

I suppose if we lose, I’ll at least be on a forced outside media ban when I head to China in a couple of days and I can drown my sorrows in pollution and MSG.

Your mum and the Bont both lose their appendix in the same week. How many weeks will your mum miss ?? Hope she gets well soon. Oh and same for the Bont

Don't forget to take your own oxygen to China Jaded. They're a bit light on for clean air there so it seems.

Well I unfortunately will be missing my first home game for this season after my collingwood supporting sister in law had her birthday during the week and decided that saturday night we will be going out for dinner. Not friday night but saturday night. I also blame the AFL because if this game was at 1:45 then I could have gone. 

So I hope we win, get a game clear of geelong and pass sydney

C'mon Dee supporters, enjoy our journey. Win or lose, we are getting a better ride than in previous years. Go to game, watch the game, none of the heeby jeeby's, jinx's or general anxiety. We are competitive, we can win when we are behind and can dominate games. I know there is an emotional gamble but is only a game. Enjoy, I don't get the hide away, not go or watch it. Individual superstitions really don't determine the outcome (stop the magic thoughts). Have some courage, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else on such a beautiful Melbourne day, at the "G", win or lose.

Was not planning to go today for fear of extending my 0-5 live record this year. 

But then my boss scored tickets to a sponsored corporate box in the ponsford stand level 1. It actually is important work schmooze.

Who’s been in one before? I’m worried I’ll make a [censored] of myself. I’ll guess I’ll just keep shoving canapés in my mouth and watch quietly..

 

Been in lots of corporate boxes over the years due to work. To be honest I much prefer to sit out in the members but it’s a great view and sometimes the food is better than your average pie and chip.

You do need to show a level of restraint though especially if your boss is present.

Another of those nothing games... Meh if we win as Geelong are the real challenge... and if we lose... well that's it if it's not already over.

Hope Goodwin has done his tactical homework and has a plan B because his plan A has not worked of late.

Heading to the ground with my youngest (nearly 3) today for her first AFL game. She has her demon backpack packed already and is packing her snacks into little ziplock bags, never seen her so organized!

please the lords of football let her cheer on many goals and get to sing the song at the end of the game today!!! ???

I accidentally intercepted a briefcase in a complicated false agent/dupe interchange, where three men in overcoats, hats, dark glasses and thick accents bumped into each other, fumbled identical cases and departed in a hurry. In the briefcase I was left with were extensive notes, statistics and analysis of today's match. The conclusion? Dees by 26 points, JKH to kick 2 goals and Melksham to snap out of his mini-slump.

It is at the MCG so I have no idea who will win. I have seen us beat North there so can't be completely MFCSS'D about this.

Things I don't want to see:

The Dogs stacking their backline and running it out at will via the flanks. Coll, Port, St K and Haw did that....

Stop that happening and we win.

it's the blueprint for beating us as we all know...wonder why the Coach doesn't?

It's a bit like the pantomime where you yell out " He's behind you".

    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
