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.

Had to sub someone. Liked the Toump today but thought all of ANB, Stretch and MJones were better. Bail the only other candidate really.

No injuries reported that I'm aware of.

Funny how you dont get injuries after a win huh??

Hogan (and Garland?) available next round too. Feels like forever since our injury list has actually shrunk between matches. If both are available there are going to be two terribly stiff players playing for Casey that round.

Over the last few weeks we have seen strides made by Toumpas, Watts, Gawn, Spencer, Viney & Vince as well as others I'm sure I've forgot to mention. They are all at different stages of their career & perhaps some in particular were circling the toilet bowl of their MFC careers just 3 months ago. Today's win amongst the last month of footy has shown genuine signs of development for not just these players but the whole group & perhaps as a club we have turned a corner today. It's fitting that our worst loss of the modern era against Geelong has now been somewhat erased by our best win in the same era. The win gives genuine belief in our progress as well as coaching & development structure. The likes of Roos & McCartney appear to be having a big influence on our younger players & they genuinely look to believe they belong at the highest level. Hopefully we can keep taking one step at a time to become the club we want to be.

Just got in and had to switch on the computer.

Front row first tier seats and 6 dee player's sat right behind us.If i knew how to post my telephone pictures i would.

Played with 2 ruckmen today and yes they had thier best games for the club.

Bernie played a blinder.

Dunny BOG,by a mile.

Brayshaw is a gun and today earnt him another 50 games.tuff an hard at it.

Best win weve seen for awhile and definitely the best win at cat park.

Also was surprised at how many Dee fans actually showed up.

The bloke wearing No12 did okay.

Nicely said. There's definitely something going on down there that is different, and real this time.

Do we change the team for WCE

Who can we look forward to coming back?Newton?

Fitzpatrick?

Garland?

Vandenburg?

Frost 4 weeks (Brisbane?)

Salem 4 weeks (Brisbane?)

Hunt 4 weeks

Kent 6 weeks

Grimes 8 weeks

Pedersen season

Petracca season

Trengove season

?

Would like Frost, Salem and Kent to hurry up!

Did you forget Jesse Whathisname?

Vince's career at Melb has already overtaken Sylvia's.

Did long ago

He was good - backed up last weeks effort.

He now seems to go into contests hard and is backing his pace and foot skills (think he has finally turned a corner)

Next step is to be able to float forward and kick goals caus we cant rely on hogan and Garrlett all the time.

There was that one moment where he marked 10m in front and went to play on - almost stuffed it up - should know better then that. (you dont see hawthorn and sydney stuff those up)

Like today?? :-))

May be unpopular but i don't know if we would have won that if jesse played, we bomb to him way to often, his absence made us lower our eyes

Interesting thought process. Wasn't at the game and couldn't get TV - was the forward process vastly different this week??

Haven't read the whole thread but Jeffy deserves another mention. 4 goals in a performance we're almost coming to expect from him. Love your work Jeffy.

Mick Malthouse says hi Jeff.

If that ones true the media will let it slip like selwood tackle. Everyone loves Selwood...

Not sure I believe that, Selwood has mentioned in the past he respects Jonesy and they played Under 18s together for Vic - same draft class.

I won't forgive that from Selwood if that is true. Bag the club, most of the players, anyone, but don't say that about Jonesy you [censored].

Sorry but what is this all about? Is it that tweet - totally illegible on my iPad.

Well, that was almost a surreal experience down at Geelong.

We just came to play and kept playing. Barely recognised the team in front of me, well both the teams actually.

Complete dominance in the middle. Watts was great, Vince and Jones were magnificent again. Viney made Selwood look like a C-grader.

A sensational win when I least expected it. All the Dees fans just suddenly found a voice towards the end too, it was a fantastic atmosphere even though it was about 3 degrees

Absolutely stunned by the win today. I had to work and turned the AFL app on during the 3rd quarter. What I saw was the boys showing a heap of fight that didn't let up. Our old heads like Dunn, Jones, Vince, Lumumba etc were finally all standing up together. The youngsters like Viney, Brayshaw, Stretch were all giving it their all. Seeing Brayshaw smashing into anything wearing navy and white that moved was a deelight. Seeing Viney just work Selwood over and win clearances was a deelight. Seeing Bernie racking up ball and set up/score goals was a deelight.

I never thought we had a hope of winning down there today. Years of conditioning will do that to you. I'm so happy and proud of the win. This is definitely one the team can reflect on and build into something great.

GO YOU MIGHT DEES!!!

I have said it before and I will repeat, I think Brendan McCartney has a lot to do with our progress. I know he has put a lot of time into Gawn and Watts as well as our first year players. Now reaping the benefits

Could work out well for McCartney if CAS end up having a quiet word with Mr Goodwin.

Allegedly sledged Jones and called him the worst captain in the AFL. Being irrational, territorial football supporters, many of us have blown up.

Add in the complete career turnarounds last season by the previously much (and rightly) maligned Nev Jetta and Lynden Dunn.

Sure the individuals have to do the hard yards, but a coaching panel with great people skills seem to have engendered self belief in those listed who must seriously have doubted their abilities. They are all playing with self belief.

Well done club as a whole.

Thanks for the clarification

If Jones was the worst captain, where did that leave the Ducker today then??

Not to mention Stretch who is still only 18! Odd to think that the youngest player on our list played a hand in one of our best wins in yonks.

lol just saw the highlights of the start of the game with Foss ringing the bell and the big deal they were making about Enright etc. Kind of reminds me of Rocky 4 when Apollo Creed came out to the big fight against Drago then subsequently died lol - The Dees are Drago! :)

We forget McDonald is only 22 because he has been around so long.

He's done really well considering the amount of pressure our backline has been under.

    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
