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.

So the Umpire couldn't bring himself to pay the obvious free kick he had to wait for the mark.....

Secondly. Have people forgotten how poor we are in wet conditions. If anything the wet may have helped Adelaide though it is hard to say. The win last night will help ( I hope ) with the clubs mental softness.

This.

I would say this was our best win of the season so far. We withstood tremendous pressure early on, took control and fought off their late charge at the finish. I was very impressed with Frost and his  speed and ability to always be at the contest. Made Walker look like a second rate hack and that free against him late was a joke.

When was the last time we had 2 players kick over 40 goals? Or even 50 goals in a season? TMAC on fire.

Hogan 42

TMAC 40 

Leader B Brown 52.

 

Great question. If it’s not Hogan and Watts two years ago we could be going back to  Neita and Robbo!

Silly way to think. Tuohy kicking last week's goal could be the difference. Or Westhoff's 75m 50m penalty in the fourth, or the mark that wasn't paid to Brayshaw against Port.

Luck goes both ways, we've had some for us and some against us.

absolutely. Swings both way.

Betts miss a gimme. Sure. Jkh misses a gimme last week, gawn rd 1.

silly way to view footy.

Is there a more Jekyll and Hyde side when it comes to the clearance battle? We couldn’t win one to save ourselves early. 17-4 in the third quarter. A demolition.

I don’t know how we compare with other sides but it seems like feast or famine a lot of the time.

It really is. Whether we want to admit it or not the gap between our best and worst is still big.

Clearly the against us is winning. 21 goals from frees and 50’s against us in Port, Saints, Cats and Crows games to 2 for.

Quite a few of us wanted Frost in from Port game and if selectors had agreed, we may have beaten Port and Saints. Yes he makes the odd mistake, but he is big, quick, hard at the man and ball and good defensively. His passing has improved and he is another good defensive option. He killed Tex last night. 

BTW it was a free as he dropped the ball.

Yep it was a free - exactly the same as the airy josh Jenkins had in the middle of the ground earlier in the game (which was ruled okay on)

wow ...is that stat correct?

If so that is monstrous or we are doing something very wrong in the skills department

One small positive this year is that Clarrie is not getting pinged for throwing.I suppose the umpires now recognise skill even though the natural eye may be too slow to see it

It was frustrating to watch the first half when it came to clearances. We’ve seen it before, mostly in our losses, when the opposition sets up with at least two outside runners ready to receive a handball out of the pack. 

Good to see we tightened up in the second half and didn’t allow Adelaide to utilise these outside runners.

Bailey Fritsch is the most versatile player i can remember. Reads the ball so well down back, dynamic on the wing, and so dangerous up forward. What a shame he doesn't have two triplet brothers.

Really impressive of late. When he clunks all those half marks he will be even better. Kicked a very good pressure goal on the siren. Surprisingly only 8 disposals tonight after 25 last week. Seemed far more involved.

Cats, Port, Crows, & Eagles get the best umpiring treatment in the land at home!

Port game still burns, as we were totally screwed over by the maggots!

Anyway back to better topics.

Great win Demons, after giving 20 points head start and also off 2 day less break, managed to hang on!

Am loving Harmes form, too many posters have wanted to write off young Dees who hadn’t played 50 games, great to see him as an example of many who are getting better and better!!

1 thing I would say about swyl, even though he is often negative, he is never negative after a win unlike you, and with saty he loves the club, and you can't hate anyone who loves the dees that much.

Correct. I love winning...

Sorry dis i miss something- what free kick?

By the by i love the fresh air TMac gives Spargo when Spargo tried to gibe him a high five. Ignores him completely and Spartacus ends up lamely tapping his body.

    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
