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.

Ahhh, 10am Gameday.

Confident, nervous, reading everything, anxious, ready, not ready, sensing a win, sensing a draw, sensing a flogging, posting on Demonland, groaning at other Demonlander's posts, too much coffee already, already thinking about my first Shiraz, cider or Dalmore 18yo scotch.... , what time is it x 100, constantly checking the pathetic AFL app for updates.

Love/hate Gameday. 

This should be pinned to the top of every weeks game day thread. GOLD.

Hey Col, the game is also on Ch 7.

That equation works well in Australia. Alas, I live overseas (though I did live close to Stud Road in Rowville at one stage).

Sam Mclure reported post game last night that JOM will be a late out for the Hawks.

Which of the Hawks emergencies Langford, Sicily and Brand played yesterday. I don't think the first two did, which could be a replacement for JOM and one held over.

I really wish this game was at Etihad, that's a real fortress for us.

This is a game we should win and be expected to win, but being melbourne this is a game they could drop. 

What I want to see is straight kicking, less handballing and proper kick outs from full back. And of course a win. Love to see Jesse play well and I do hope he is in the right headspace to play. Couldnt go last week so looking forward to see how Pederson goes as well. 

Come on melbounre just go out there and beat them.

Third game in 13 days - test will be if the fitness staff have managed to freshen squad or will there be a flat spot. 

Hawthorn are playing their 3rd game in 14 days... in fact most sides technically play 3 games in a 14 day period

This game has me seriously nervous... They are due to put in a reasonable performance & unfortunately a lot of sides have a bit of a mental edge on us knowing we can be mentally fragile.. They'll be up for the fight from the start, this isn't going to be a walk in the park like the saints had last week against them. This is HUGE test to see where this football club is at, Melbourne of old would drop this game... We lose this & finals is a long road. 

I haven't picked up on any mental fragility this year - rather periods of crap football.

If the Hawks come into this game thinking that way then they'll get rolled.

I just think we're gonna be far too fierce at the coal face for them to get effective first possessions.

We must be ruthless today. The Top 8 has opened right. 

Win each Quarter Demons

start on the front foot.

Lewis will star today

winning each quarter by a couple of goals would be a pleasant change............ have we done it during the last ten years?

He'll square up on Rioli when he kicks the sealer late in the second quarter after a 25 possession first half.

Good plan but the security staff are not quite that dumb.

It would come under the heading of "suspicious bulge in the pants"

..... but they are not going to go searching inside your pre-warmed designer thermal underwear ....... or are they?

    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
