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.

GC & GWS got their first MCG wins against us. Iirc correctly the GC game was Easter Sunday 2013, the week that Peter Jackson was appointed. They did us by 79 points and Col Sylvia copped a three week ban for nearly killing Jared Brennan with an elbow to the head. 

so did WCE break their duck against us as well ?

That would give us some title.... there was a world famous Oz band around the time of the Beatles and it wasn't the Seekers that springs to mind !

Time to get some revenge methinks

Not sure about first win but first finals win, they beat us in Waverley Park in 1990-1991. A bit before my time but the inlaws apparently went over for it and it's a point of conversation whenever the MFC play the Weagles. 

Interestingly enough, we were the Dockers first finals win too, I think their first win as a club was the inaugural Western Derby. Their first win at the 'G was against North I think

I don't buy into these ultimatums. We're a finals side if we win 13 games. Granted, winnable games like today are a huge opportunity to bank 4 points, but if Freo catch us out we shouldn't all of a sudden say we're not a finals team.

From what we've seen so far we're capable of beating all of the other teams when the planets align.

I'm expecting a Carlton like game where we win but can't relax until the final siren.

Its an obvious point you make and as much as I want us to play finals. I want us to be competitive. I dont want to make the finals to make up the numbers as do you Im sure.

In that sense its not unreasonable to expect to beat bottom teams (assuming freo dont improve much) by a reasonable margin at our home ground.

Given the outs of a few key players your assessment is probably accurate but a deecnt 10 goal win would be great to watch and wonderful for team confidence.

Hope Spencer does well. I think he will surprise a few.

In all seriousness, a midfield consisting of Sandilands, Fyfe, Neale, Mundy and the two Hills is not one to be taken lightly. Need our mids to fire, otherwise we could be in strife.

Interesting to note      Western Bulldogs had

18 more poss

1 more clearance

2 more inside 50's

5 more const poss

9 more tackles

19 less H o's

Against Freo last week and lost by 16 points

I not sure what all that means but I thought it interesting

So the big question is, do I have time to grab a quick cup of coffee?

And also...

Can our sheer volume of competent mids/half forwards/half-backs overwhelm the exceptional 'first choice' midfield Scythe noted - "Sandilands, Fyfe, Neale, Mundy and the two Hills".

I'm pretty confident that the forward pressure of Kent, Harmes, Hannan, Nibbler, Petracca and Garlett can deny Fremantle too many easy exits from defence, and lock down the space that the Hills like to run into. I like that our tall forwards are just Weid and Watts, I think it suits the situation, but they also really need to do their jobs and not let Freo have too many easy intercept marks in defence.

 

At least our defence should have a relatively good day, as far as match-ups go.(He said, nervously).

Very keen to see Spencil (aka Gordon Lightfoot) resurrection. Hoping for blood, expecting a close slog with ample seating & parking opportunities.

You know how bad the recent past has been, when you start getting excited about parking spaces and spare seats on game day.

For once I just want to go to the footy and smash someone, I feel like a relaxing non stressful day, is it too much to ask for a 100 point win I don't feel like being stressed at 3 quarter time wondering if we are going to win or not, unfortunately I can't see it happening I can dream though 

Yes, I'd like to go to the footy and smash someone, unfortunately I have to work.   :(

That's really bringing yourself down to a Freo supporter level, especially if you bludgeon a female. Not worth the lifetime ban, especially since we're on the cusp of finals.

id have been much happier with a lifetime ban in 2013.

Well I'm ready for anything. Just inhaled double bacon and eggs over pancakes and washed it down with a bucket size cappuchino. I'll have elevenses at Scumbury before joining the plebs on pubic transport.

Feeling confident today.

You should enjoy it, I believe it's quite a hairy ride!

Approximately 1x10^6 empty seats, and plentiful car parking. One of the kids likes Freo's song. I reckon it sucks.

That day in 2008 when we came back from the dead against these guys. Seems like a lifetime ago...

I remember it well. Dad asked me if we wanted to leave during half-time. Being a Sunday, i said there wasn't anywhere else that i needed to be. Glad we stayed!

We were still behind by 29 or 35 at 3/4 time. A great win. Our greatest come from behind victory ever

    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
