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.

Do members get in for free or do we have to buy tickets?

Members get in for free but it's recommended to pre purchase a ticket as capacity is about 9000, and if your traveling you don't want to get there and not be able to get in, I think it's $6 to get a ticket if you quote your membership number

Thanks. Will get 3 tickets

not really, we're actually going OK. Only two of those are important players and the others aren't even injured AFAIK. However, there are others, such as Watts, who are in the squad but their ticket is secured. We still have three weeks for some lucky lads to snatch up some remaining tickets

just for once, God, please, can we have something that is somewhere near our best 22 for round 1

Would you say the others are up a chocolate river without a paddle?

pretty much, except for the brand new ones. If you have been around for a few years, and you're not injured, and you're not getting named in a 29 man squad I would suggest your future at the club is in serious jeopardy

For those visiting our grand city of Ballarat for the game the weather will be changeable.

An expected top temperature of 27 degrees before a cool, windy, showery change.

Bring a jacket as the ground is quite open to the elements and there is no cover at all.

Fingers crossed the change holds off till after the match ends.

Bring on the game tomorrow. Can't Wait. Being a Ballarat Demon this is a once in a blue moon day having my beloved Dees in town. I know it's only a NAB cup game but what are they all about? Bringing the game to the masses. Not just the city folk. It's a big weekend for my 8yo and 4yo daughters. The game tomorrow arvo then the family day in St.Kilda on Sunday. Let's hope for a win tomorrow. Surely we give the doggies a touch up.

Hey Clucka are there many bars at the ground? Hoping to have a few froffies in the sun before the change gets in

North Ballarat sports club will be open but it'll be packed.... the other should be the 'bar' under the scoreboard on the 'hill' ... that's where all the action will be!

I knew someone would raise that pair CBDees however they don't fare large in my expectations for this year.

My point was the dogs squad is missing more of their best players then the dees.

Why on earth don't you rate Vince?

Because we don't know everything about footy injuries - see Mitch Clark and Jack Trengove.

Daniel Wells had a foot injury after being stepped on last year. North kept trying to get him right all season and never thought it was much of an initial injury. All of a sudden he missed the whole year.

If it was just a bit of bruising and he has no issues after training today then I'd play him. But if there's still soreness we should be cautious. 1 nab challenge game really wont change much in the scheme of things.

If he's fit play him, the sooner we get Hogan, Dawes and Watts to gel together the better. Would love to see them have a combined total of 8 to 12 goals between them even though they are playing a ordinary team with key players out, it will take my mind off Clark anyway.

Are they really expecting a sell out for NAB challenge?

not named: brayshaw, harmes, howe, hunt, kent, king, o-mac, anb, petracca, spencer, riley, terlich, trengove, vince, white

take out injured, you are left with: brayshaw, harmes, hunt, kent, king, o-mac, spencer, riley, terlich, white

do we take from this that the above guys will be very unlikely to play round 1? some young guys there understandably but if I was Riley, Terlich and Spencer I would be worried. Kent must be being managed

strange approach Roosey is taking, usually NAB is seen as getting 2 games into all fit players but he is treating it like firming his 22. fair enough i say! just different to his usual style.

Kent bruised heel from Freo game. Expected back next week.

I've just joined up to AFL live pass so I can watch todays game. Does anyone know if it can be chromecast to the TV? I assume that I can watch it on my computer and I don't have to have a mobile or tablet to see it.

Thanks for any help.

Guys I am on the ticket master site and there is no option to pre purchase a members ticket. Am I blind or is there a trick to it? If anyone has got themselves a members pre purchase ticket, please enlighten me

I wouldn't worry about it mate....get here early with your membership card and you'll get in easy.

As I am in Hong Kong this week, l won't be able to catch the telecast. I would love to return back to the hotel room (and wifi) tonight to find plenty of posts on today's match. I am looking forward to report of a big win.

Just a heads up, I am MFC/MCC member and when I tried to buy members tickets for today it said not bald for this event after entering my barcode. Fair enough , as I don't get access to games with my membership. Just thought I would share in case other MFC/MCC members were planning on presenting membership card at the gate. You may not get in. Although in my experience that membership has always got me free access to NAB cup games, or at least it did at Princes Park when we played essendon two years ago or so

Did the club say it was going to stream the broadcast?

Therefore, if you watch on your tablet, (not app based) can you then AirPlay it?

I need some guidance on this as well.

Ed; can I recall Ethan Tremblay saying he had a 'particular' fix for these issues?

    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
