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.


GAMEDAY - Preliminary Final vs Eagles

Seems ridiculous to even say it but MASSIVE game now. Collingwood done us a favour, was worried about Richmond, no need to worry anymore. 

First things first though, bring the ball to ground in our defensive 50, contested possession and switch to Petracca. Melksham and McDonald running back into goal, simple...

My father and older brother are coming over to watch the game at my house. Youngest one is there.

My brother and I have a bet, if we lose, I have to watch a horror movie of his choice with him (I’m terrified of horror movies.) If we win, he takes me to Richard Marx. So, I really REALLY want to win.

I have no idea what to expect really. I went into both previous finals thinking we would fight hard but struggle to overcome the opposition's experience. After watching our resolve thus far, I can't help but feel confident about tomorrow's outcome, despite the odds stacked against us.

There's been a recurring theme of storytelling trilogies since Goodwin took charge, culminating in the last two weeks. After two heartbreaking losses against the Cats this year, we overcame them on our third attempt when it mattered most. After two losses against his old team since joining the Dees, Lewis finally beat them on his third attempt. If we win today, it marks our third consecutive win against the Eagles in Perth after 9 consecutive losses. It would mark our third consecutive finals win for the first time in 18 years.

I know the fairytale endings don't always come true, but I'll be sending the team every ounce of positive energy I can tomorrow. So good luck, Demons. All we ask is you give it everything you've got; that'll be enough for this Dees supporter.

Are you talking about two matches here?? Glad to see that you are confident about tomorrow’s Grand Final with Bayley BOG! ?

I feel a little crazy
I feel a little strange
Like I'm in a pay phone
Without any change
I feel a little edgy
I feel a little weird
I feel like a schoolboy
Who's grown a beard
I'm livin' in the 70's
Eatin' fake food under plastic trees
My face gets dirty just walkin' around
I need another pill to calm me down
I feel a bit nervous
I feel a bit mad
I feel like a good time that's never been had
I feel a bit fragile
I feel a bit low
Like I learned the right lines
But I'm on the wrong show
I'm livin' in the 70's
I feel like I lost my keys
Got the right day but I got the wrong week
And I get paid for just bein' a freak
I feel a little insane
I feel a bit dazed
My legs are shrinkin'
And the roof's been raised
I feel a little mixed up
I feel a little [censored]
I feel like a barman that can't drink a beer
I'm livin' in the 70's
I feel like I lost my keys
Got the right day but I got the wrong week
And I get paid for just bein' a freak
 
I AM PETRIFIED !!

Does this make you feel better?

Strangely still supremely confident we'll eventually run out winners by 18.

First one bird...then another ;)

The AFL would be salivating at the prospect of a Collingwood v Melbourne Grand Final. The first showdown between both clubs in a Grand Final since Melbourne's last premiership 5 decades ago! Nothing would be more fitting.

There's such rich history between the clubs (both as rivals and of themselves) and fantastic stories across the entire ground. The two best rucks all year going head to head. Howe playing against his first team. Weideman playing against his heritage.

It would also be the first all-Victorian Grand Final in 7 years and only the 5th time that's happened since our last Grand Final appearance.

Alas, all the dreaming is for nought if we can't get the job done today. The Demons have their destiny in their hands, it's up to them now.

So true Saber, the city of Melbourne will be pumping with a Melb/Coll Grand Final, and everyone that doesn't go for Coll will be supporting the Dees, a bit like the Dogs two years ago.

I don't know why but I think the stars will align to make this happen, super proud we have got this far with either result today, but I'm liking this winning feeling.

How can you not be nervous this is unchartered territory for most Dees supporters. However removing the blinkers the Dees can win this for three main reason. 1. Gawn v Lycett what more need to be said; 2. Midfield depth Viney; Brayshaw; Harmes; Petracca; Jones; et al versus Yeo Redden Sheed Shuey 3. Team Depth on bench Petracca; Tyson; Spargo; Smith v Ryan, Dugan, Venables; Vardy.

As Pies showed last night the Dees are finals hardened if they believe they have the talent to win. Weagles played a bottom four side a month ago in the Lions and have played one game since. I think this give the Dees a massive intensity advantage. We need to hit them hard early and take the noise factor out. Everyone talk about the benefit of the crowd but it can have the reverse impact if your losing as tension and stress build. I am confident that we have the team to win this and their forward advantage is not as big as our midfield advantage. 

In finals campaign past we have exhausted ourselves getting there or have been an inferior team. This is not the case this time and why I am hugely confident that if we give our best we WILL win.

Problem is with Collingwood, even if we win, the media will be all over them. It will be the grand final Collingwood lost.

Look at 2002. Hardly any photos of Brisbane’s victory. Just pages and pages of Malthouse and Buckley in tears.

I don't think so Cassie. If we do get through we'll have the rest of Australia supporting us next week; would be of epic proportions.

My mind is addled with the collective thoughts and views of Demonlanders and the football media rotating like a whirlwind.  Nervous tension, excitement, confidence, concern, bloody hell! ..........  I've decided that a long walk is a safer option than the chainsaw and wood splitting that I had planned to fill the next 5 to 6 hours.

Good luck fellow Demonlanders.  Enjoy the game!

Goes without saying that we mustn't get blown out early...if we can be within striking distance at half time our contested ability may wear them down at the pointy end.

Huge test for our tall defenders. Would be a very nice day to have Lever but what can you do.

80 tackles and we play in a Grand Final.

It’s going to be a long morning and afternoon waiting. Tough to repeat  back to back wins over there. Worried about lack of outside run, we have to max out the pressure for a 100 minutes.

Already done back to back, we need back to back to back!

Interesting, watching and listening to Richard Marx is like watching a horror movie! ?

    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
