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.

  • Why the f#ck did Brian cook sign on Chris Scott for another 3 years, best team on paper but no game plan or structure... “all the gear and no idea”
  • Not a good night for our boys, but, let's be realistic. The Dees were a much better side. More committed, disciplined and better decision making. They could go all the way. They played better than the Tigers did last night. Our boys gave it their all. We just weren't as good as Melbourne!
  • Lot of issues not just the coach game style. Not a lot of celebrations I’m afraid for a few years. Even Carlton would of beaten us tonight.
  • Free kick count was 24/20 Melbourne’s way, so can’t complain too much there. Melbourne just rocked the Cats in the first quarter and were steady for the rest of the game.
  • Dees - fast, decisive, clinical, ruthless, physical, intimidating. Cats - slow, old, ponderous, wayward, insipid....
  • Geelong have owned Melbourne since 2005 yet again we crash in a final
  • Melbourne were the the 4th worst team for being scored against when going inside 50 which just shows you can open them up with quick ball movement yet that wasn’t apart of any game plan either apparently.
  • We were beaten by a better team. I stress the word team 
  • Proud of our boys but we over achieved this year like the last 3 years!!! 
  • 13 wins which 8 out of 9 came from our ground.... meaning we only won 5 games out of 13 on the road which included 2 wins at the G (pies / dees)....so that is a 38% winning percentage away from home = 1f4a9.png?.
  • Bring back bomber Thompson at least he had no favourites .scott is Muppet goodbye ablett duncan Taylor guthrie menzel bews Murdoch

What are they on? Otherwise, pretty classy I thought by the (few) Cats supporters I was around. Plenty saying good luck next week.

We were pretty poor for two quarters.  Well, maybe not poor, but we dominated the game while being almost entirely ineffective in attack.  They could easily have pinched this one from us with a five-minute burst in the last because our ball movement going forward was terrible after quarter time.

I reckon I'd take our two bad quarters in this game over the majority of quarters we've played this year. Second quarter was aggravating, but only because we couldn't kick straight. 17 inside fifties to 6... and they only scored 2 goals on us.

I really think it was a 4 quarter effort with awful accuracy, personally. What I find a little surprising is that Cats fans think we weren't that good, when it was played in the manner of a 10 goal win.

Hell, even the coach and oppo captain said they were beaten by the far better side.

This. Absolutely this. Apart from a great first quarter and good last quarter, the middle 2 were not that crash hot. However, unlike many times this year, when we had our colder periods we didn't let them dominate (a lot due to their bad errors, but ours were almost equally bad).

There is still some real room for improvement come next week, which has me really starting to believe.

Yep, they've had their time in the sun and done very well (3 flags, fmd i just want one). Some Demons fool outside Richmond station parking lot getting stuck into Selwood for being a ducker (of course he is). But he's a ducker with 3 premiership medals.

Cats fans have been sensible with their thoughts on the game. Nothing written that's too far from the truth.

Scott would be in the hot seat if it were not for his extension. I expect some of their old guard to also retire.

I can’t stand watching the bloke in the coaching box but he is always good to listen to.

As you pointed out his first comment was extremely classy. Very professional!

It's not you, TSD....Geelong and Scott annoy the carp outta me

But, the only credit I give him is that he knew that his team was cooked and resorted to the atypical psychological babble about having 'a good preparation' he wouldn't play 'injured players' aka Viney, yada yada yada

I'm glad we punched the crap out of them last night

The cats rely on too few to get it done. That is what excites me about our group. There is something special happening - they bleed for each other

Anyone who says our 2nd and 3rd quarters were poor has no idea. It was only our inaccurate kicking that kept Geelong in the game. Should have won by at least 50 points.

We monstered them! Our pressure and intensity was magnificent. Cats players were looking over their shoulders all night.  Hawks are no chance against us.

Poor kicking ....Poor football.      we rushed kicks and sprayed the pill all over the place.  some minor composure and another say 2 goals,   Then the game was well over   ..

The best part about his comments were the intimation that the Geelong team is on the right path and that they don’t need to holistically change how they play footy. Because what did we learn @Clint Bizkit? Never be intimidated by a footy team that wants to play ‘bruise free footy’...

They were cooked from the outset and he tried to talk them up all week - no humility there!

I'm so glad we cleaned those [censored] up and soooo many supporters from other clubs are happy to see them join the Mad Monday 'get fined for being an NRL idiot' queue

Oh, I thought it was evident. My bad.

I was most bullish about us beating Geelong and even wanting to play Geelong in the first round of finals and you thought they were a side to avoid...

i stand by the gif tho...

    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
