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.

What if?

Loving this winning feeling. Every game is like Christmas and birthday combined. If I could bottle it I would. So awesome to hear the roar of Dees fans.

This is what many supporters get every September although ours is no doubt sweeter due to its long time coming.

What if we win not only the flag but a sucession of them and we have a decade just like the glory days?

Imagine no longer a club defined by 50 years of failure and we become better than the powerhouse of old. 

All things are possible.

I would be happy to see one.

But next year i want another one.

And the year after that i want one as well.

While we are at it, i also want one the following year.

Year 5... what the hell, might as well throw in another one.

My internal organs should have failed by then, so what happens afterwards wont bother me. 

But my family will want more of them.

Bulldogs won a flag with a mediocre list throwing the ball to each other at every contest.

The Tigers won a flag with a slightly better than mediocre list + a couple of genuine stars

 

The list that we have demands multiple flags ala Geelong/Brisbane/Horforn.

 

Anything less will be a failure.

Yes, I think the future is that bright.

WD you will enjoy this excellent article by Jack Niall  https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/demons-in-sweet-spot-for-long-term-success-20180915-p50417.html  He says: 

In the giddy afterglow of Melbourne’s romping win over Hawthorn, I asked a former Melbourne official when the Demons had last been so well-positioned.

‘‘1954,’’ he replied.

He wasn’t kidding. The Melbourne Football Club – out of the finals for a dozen years in a draft system – has the best platform for sustained success of any club in the competition.

What If?  Not quite ready to dream of the glory days again but happy to shift from 'one week at a time' to 'one flag at a time' :)

Aslong as we keep our list and can cover players who are likely to go out over the next half a decade. I believe we will not only be a top team, but THE top team for a good chunk of years. But getting that to translate into grand finals is another story.

Pray let it be a Melbourne-Collingwood  Grand Final. At least we get the opportunity for revenge for the 1958 Grand Final when they prevented us from winning a record six consecutive Premierships (viz. 1955, 1956, 1957, xxxx, 1959 &1960)!

 To beat Collingwood by a point with a Sam Weideman goal kicked after the siren would be a wonderful sight (especially if the cameras were all trained on Eddie McGuire)! ?

Sorry if it read like I was having a go at you - it was meant to support your 'glory days' comment.  Hence the :) to go with my cheeky ' Not quite ready to dream of the glory days again but happy to shift from 'one week at a time' to 'one flag at a time' comment.  I'll word things a bit more carefully in future.

Like you I feel totally nonplussed.  Such a weird and foreign feeling to be this close to the Holy Grail.  Surreal.

We have to strike while the iron is hot.  None of this dynasty business, and dreaming of a decade of dominance.  Sure it may happen but we also may totally fall off the cliff next season. 

We are two wins away from a flag!   If we dont win it this year we may never get this close again.

THIS IS THE TIME!

Well I hope not. My heart would not handle the stress. A 60 point win would suffice. Even then I wouldn’t start celebrating until there was 5 minutes to go.?

Why not Dare to Dream.!   If you cannot do it now when can you,   you are a long time dead !

I have friends from the football years earlier   who have done that   dropped dead without reaching a flag again.

 

Now is the time   Go Hard,   2 wins away,   its the players who get it done,  support them,  but we the keyboard players may enjoy while we can. Because we can do bugger all from our side of the fence.

Come on DEMONS !!

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh
