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.

Yep that's me.

To be fair I don't think I ran him down though more just worried about putting in an untried kid. Couldn't have asked for a better effort today.

Yeah he was very impressive today, he seems to have a very good read on the game. Like an old head. He doesn't panic down back.

Yes you're right. I am still basking in the glow of several whiskies and some surprisingly good Chinese beer. I expect to fall into some sort of alcohol induced coma shortly. Hopefully when I wake, it will not have been a dream.

You are  not dreaming or we are both having the same dream Rev.

However get used to the feeling there are another eight to come this year.

Great work Dees.  [censored] fantastic.  Confidence is such an important thing.  Its SO important we get this.  These boys are playing for one another.  I haven't seen that for so long in a Melbourne side.  We had to win that game and we did.  The players realised this and went out and did it.  You little beauty!

Just checked in on the trip home at Narita Airport, Tokyo where the Qantas counter is manned by Japan Airlines staff all decked out to greet me wearing red and blue.

What a great place this is?

Coming home at just the right time Jack.

What a solid win against the old enemy. I couldn't watch live or listen as i had a stack of business work to do before my own trip OS so i recorded and soaked it up in my own time with benefit of no ads.

Great stuff boys. Let's hope we can keep that form going from here. Tigers next.

Have a few frothy fosters on the way back Jack!

This could be a season defining win. It was a win we had to have to be credible.  

THE DEMONS ARE BACK!!!

Must back it up next to week, but yes was a superb all round game. Just gotta iron out some of those turnovers and get the younger kids fitness up to allow the high intensity pressure we saw in the first quarter for the entire game.

He provided another option as a lead up target & is very athletic as we already know. We don't need him to be a world beater, just a chop out for Gawn & Hogan at times. Hopefully this is the start of good things to come. Glad the selectors kept the faith.

Frosty !!! Showing why he may be ahead of Dawes with athleticism and effort and some finish . Hasn't played many games but looked to have started  his journey today - what you said . Lols this guy will be massive for us .

I'm quietly happy.
Today was a good, workmanlike four quarter effort. We set the win up early and proceeded to hold them at arms length for the rest of the day.
Most of what I wanted was ticked off today.
Good aggressive start which was mostly maintained through the match.
It's also good to see that most of the boys viewed the win  the way I did too. There was a bit of happiness but nothing too overboard.
Plus, they didn't send our skinniest kid to Cloke to be mauled (though by the looks of things, Clokey isn't capable of mauling anyone these days).
Next week will be telling. I hope that Essendon game is tattooed onto the group's frontal lobe, never to be forgotten. Also, talk of 'two wins in a row coming up' needs to be banned and anyone who does so has to spend a week locked a room that is rigged with one of those traps designed by the Jigsaw Killer.

Needed this to set up our year.

How poetic that Wattsy is Bog against the team that bullied him in his first game.

I think we have a team on our hands,it's early days but the dark days look over.

Vince,Vanders,Garlett and Petracca to still come into this side and make us stronger.

They were playing electronica when Christopher Hitchens got waterboarded and when the US government was torturing people in Gitmo, they played 'Born in the USA' on a repeating loop so those options may be more effective.
Though Bieber and One Direction would add an odd sense of irony.

I would kill for such discipline.  I would be wealthy.  I'd have a body like Usain Bolt (a white one).  And I wouldn't frighten my little children when I watch Melbourne.  Hats off to ya Rusty.

I was at the game with a bunch of Collingwood supporters. What a fantastic feeling - nothing like beating the Pies.

Hopefully we've ended Nathan Buckley's coaching career as well. That would be the icing on the cake.

No! No! Keep him there as long as possible!

The icing on the cake would be seeing Eddie week after week defending the indefensible.

We hunted in numbers. Were aggressive at the man and with our ball movement. We gave first option. Yes we made mistakes but that's part of playing this style of footy particularly with a young team as we tire late in quarters. Probably the most important thing is that we sensed when momentum was changing and reacted accordingly. 

Watts was massive and Wagner showed he can seriously play. 

A game that we can really build our season on. 

We also played four quarters of footy. It's a nice change!

    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
