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.

Due to popular demand. 

Who has seen the entire series? I've seen up to end of Season 4. Yes I'm behind, so be very careful.

Once I started watching the first episode, then the second I couldn't stop watching. 

I'm about to start season 5 soon. Looking forward to it.

I have watched most of the first 4 seasons. My wife loves the series, I quite like it. My main gripe is that the concept for the series so easily could have been based on real history rather than fantasy. If anyone has ever read any medieval history from about 900 AD to 1200 AD involving the Normans, the Byzantine Empire and their Varangian Guard, the Arabs and assorted other barbarian tribes from Central Asia and you have a story of conflict that is equal to or better than anything you might see on GoT. But that is just me I prefer some historical perspective rather than pure fantasy.

Best show I've ever seen I think the ending will revolve around the dragon queen

Great stuff and lots of A Grade b00bies! Emilia Clarke gets a special mention, she was also great as Sarah Connor in Terminator Genisys (the new one) if you didn't know.

I am all the way up to date, also up to date with Vikings too, not a bad series but not where near GoT.  Has been missing surprise twists and turns i think and the Season 5 was very slow, still good just a bit slow.


 

 

***SPOLIER ALERT***

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I defiantly got hooked after Joffrey decided that Eddard didn't need his head anymore.  But the biggest surprise was the red wedding!

you know nuthing H_T.

 

I judge people who do not watch this !

 

It is a fantastic show - read all the books and besides watching copious quantities of sport, it is the only non sport  program that i must religiously watch.

For the opening night of every season we have a game of thrones feast ( yes ..there is a GOT cookbook) and this season i made roast swan  - which was actually turkey but lets keep that our secret.....

A huge GOT & Tyrion fan here. Got all 5 seasons on dvd. The series has slowed down somewhat, which isn't surprising given how fast it jumped out of the gates!

Have gained access to watching season 6, and watched all 6 episodes back-to-back.

 

The Red Woman.........HURLY BURLY!!!!! Rejecting her?!?!?! You know nothing John Snow

It's science fiction but anythings possible seems the first generation are the first characters , how did the first sherif come back into it I couldn't figure that out because he go run over and killed. Then he's kidnapping a new doctor though I had a few beers we'll watching.

Past sense remember?  He was put in stasis like the rest of them then awoken to save that rebel annoying girl (Kate) that died anyway!

I sort of like how they gave the secret away in the first season but it takes away from the twist, I mean really where can it go from here that's original?

Walking Dead is another one that's got me, i'm reading the comics at the moment too.  Fear the walking dead SUCKS.

Breaking bad was good and Better call Saul is great also.

Told you, watch too much TV, and do not get me started of video games, that's an even worse addiction!

I've been a fan of most of what HBO have put out since Oz and of course the Sopranos. 

But Game of Thrones takes the cake. Best show ever assuming it doesn't go downhill the [censored] up the ending. 

I love the villains in most things, but Joffrey is my all time favourite character, such a little [censored]. Jack Gleeson does a brilliant job. 

Love me some Ramsay Snow too.

 

 

 

*****SPOILER ALERT****

 

 

 

 

 

The [censored] Hound is back! My other favourite character. 

The last 2 eps were crackers.

It was great having a public holiday last Monday so that I could watch the show early.

I hope the whole High Sparrow storyline wraps up soon, I don't really enjoy that storyline. Ramsay has been too quiet lately, assuming something epic will happen to him soon. Great replacement Joffrey.

It's definitely good to see more of them again. With the Hound I had been saying I won't believe any characters are dead in this show unless I see them die on camera (not including those who get resurrected). That also being said, there's a few who are less likely to return, in that it would take away suspense if some of the ones who are implied to be killed off screen all actually survived every single time. Eg. Stannis.

Bronn is a pissa, the dialogue between him and Tyrion and now him and Jamie are also quite entertaining.

Great to have the Hound back, and for Arya to escape the many faced god.  Wonder if they will team up again!?

Hating Sansa at the moment, acting like she is some big shot, making Jon look bad!

And what about the Greyjoys taking the Iron fleet to Essos to help the Mother of Dragons!?

Sansa reminds me of the current crop of pollies we have in this country  - full of self importance but when you dissect what they actually say  - you think to yourself  "WTF???"

    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
