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.


Nominations for the new Richmond Board

Media coverage seems to suggest the proposed new Board is underwhelming. Would have thought that would align perfectly with the playing list and coaching staff thereby finally giving Richmond members the unity and synergy they pray for.

It also highlights how quickly things change. From finals contender one year, when everyone was talking them up and the start of the season when Tigers supporters were again looking to the season with optimism and another finals appearance. They may have been overrated and the seeds of their demise may have been seen from their list, their coaches, whatever, but not many predicted such an implosion. 

Its a lesson that tells us that success can sometimes be fleeting and footy supporters should not get ahead of themselves. The optimism at MFC will quickly be wiped if we have a poor year under Goodwin. Injuries, players not living up to expectations, can quickly destroy a season. And when that happens things turn pear shaped.

For all those getting a vicarious pleasure out of watching the Tigers problems, be careful what you wish for. And don't forget where Melbourne has come from. We are still a long way from getting out of the woods ourselves. 

 

44% of teams play finals - almost half.

Supporters need to stop thinking of finals as some sort of successful benchmark.  Richmond proves it isn't. 

That said, I have no doubt that when we eventually get there, whether it be 2017 or 18, we'll be on the type of incline that will at least lead to a prelim.

I have no Sympathy for the Tigers at all. 

After their loss to Carlscum in the 2013 finals that was when the Dumb Bastards should have realized it wasn't going to get better. Carlscum didn't even make the 8

But Runt Road did nothing and recruited the bare minimum

They were arrogant and stupid and now it has exploded

Entertainment....

Losers mentality.

Try not to EVER dumb yourself down, no matter the circumstances. 

Losers mentality Pro or just realistic given a long period of hopes and dreams and disappointments?

OD is not on the current playing list so you can hardly call him a loser. He is a long time supporter like the rest of us who desperately want success before we die. We are prepared to concede that it is possible we will not win a flag.  Of course we want a flag but if we don't we want success.

Talking about winners and losers as if there is no in between is the dumb bit. 

You call an athlete that makes an Olympic final or wins a silver or bronze medal a loser?

I don't think your dumb but seriously if this is your proposition I will have to reconsider.

Irony.

Your analogy of silver or bronze in the Olympics is silly.  Being the second or third best in the world in no way equates to making the eight in AFL.  

I agree that success "can" be relative, but merely graduating to finals is fool's gold.  We played finals in 6 of Daniher's 10 years and if you think that in any way equated to success then we read from a different handbook. 

In our relatively small national competition the only real success is a premiership.

That's "Sliding Doors" Adolf. He sold a few paintings in his youth and never went to jail, never wrote his manifesto, and never got into politics.

But he still had an urge to wreak havoc. Hence "Focus on Footy".

Well Pro if your only measure of success is a flag, does that mean that we have a team of losers and that we support a bunch of losers and indeed we supporters are losers. Sorry we do have a different handbook.

There are degrees of everything, but the only real success in the AFL is a premiership.  Pretty self-explanatory I would have thought. 

If you want to label those who fall short of that mark "a bunch of losers" that's up to you.

Richmond must be prepared to offer Prestia $800k a year for 5 years to get him to that rabble.

    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
