    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.

The Saints won't win the flag they have a losing culture that they can't break. It doesn't matter how good there team is they will eventually crack the bulldogs are the same.

Unfortunately I can't see anyone beating those scumbags Collingwood for the flag, maybe Geelong if they get there players fit but that looks unlikely.

Oh NO!!!! Perhaps Hawthorn could knock Collingwood off in Week 2, or 3....I hope!

is the saints late form a concern for them, they have a habbit of dropping good season.

could this late form drop effect there finals?

Of course it could. This will be the real test of Ross Lyon & his footy Dept.

They Have been superb but the job is not done yet, & no doubt the supporters will be restless for all of this week!

Sadly the Filth are looking the goods right now...

Its a long season, & each year the bar is raised.

Its pretty even for the whole eight at the minute.

A wet Day could bring any result.

Should be a good ride.

Its going to be an interesting finals series. A couple of months ago is was a lock for Saints v Cats. Now its opening up.

It is frightening to think that Collingwood are a genuine possibility. God help us. Anyone but them.

Odds have tightened up.

ST KILDA 3.00

GEELONG 3.40

COLLINGWOOD 3.65

I suspect the odds will get very tight by next sunday night.

If Hawthorn Get in, they could (Big ask i know) do some damage.

They are a september club, they better get Roughead out of hospital quick smart! :rolleyes:

FFS.....betting odds have infected demonland of late. These campanies are very smart. This year they have stepped up their advertising on the footy show and so on for NRL and AFL and it seems to have infected both codes. Just about everytime I hear a game preview these days I hear the odds on who is going to kick the first goal or whatever crap they say.

Danger game, like last week, for sure.

Saints would be hoping for a soft game, as they're under the pump. They'll just do what they need, and hope for no injuries, much like the Blues this last week.

Again, should be enough, but I have a feeling we'll see another half like the first one last weekend.

I was always of the opinion that it was going to fall apart for St Kilda in September but it looks like it's happening early. It's very easy to look good in the home & away season and get everybody on the bandwagon calling you flag favourites, but that all counts for nothing in the finals. The Saints got flogged by Geelong and Hawthorn in the finals last year, they might be a better side this year but it's all about getting it down in September, something I think is still a bit beyond them and something despite losing the Grand Final last year, the Cats do very very well.

The 2 game losing streak only helps our priority pick cause, the Saints actually have something to play for this week.

A very clever friend of mine said, many years ago, that the Saints will always find a way to stuff it up.

I think he may be right. They did it in 97 (I think, maybe 96) again in 2004ish (The Gehrig years).

I hope he's wrong eventually. They deserve a lot more than to bow out in straight sets.

Clever teams come right at this time of year..seems teh Sainters peaked too early.. if the Filth have their wobble..teh Saints have their Faints !!

Theyought to acount for us this comingweekend but idont ( now ) like their chances come the sharp end of the season. They dont seemto be able to perform when it really matters.

witness... StKilda need a goal to win... choke

North need a goal to win... nail it.

Its all in the head and Im starting to wonder if the Saints arent a victim of over achieving and now doubt is creeping in.

The swans ended their premiership drought a few years ago, like 80 something years or around that, alot anyways,

Then geelong like a couple of years ago, ended about a 40 something year drought...

If the saints win it this year, surely theres a trend happening here...and will keep happening... for us, won't it?? *cries*

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    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
