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.

Tom McDonald's kicking in that last quarter was a disaster. Not sure we can afford him down back. He offers a lot more up forward 

damage was done in the first quarter and the maggots did all they could to get them across the line

The umpiring was reprehensible. Baffling call after baffling call. How was that a free against Pedersen after he got a clean handball away?? Ridiculous

And Essendon and West Coast do? We beat them both. We've played better than them at out peak this year. We're the 3rd youngest side in the league, and we're still in a damn good spot to make the finals.

I'm not saying they do, but we don't deserve it either. We will be making up numbers and honestly I don't want to waste yet another weekend watching us get destroyed. 

We couldn't even stand up against Collingwood. Imagine us against Sydney or Port at home. Oh lord!

We didn't deserve to win but so many questionable umpiring decisions noteably in the last quarter

- Tyson clearly high tackled in front of goal (not called)

- Pedersen takes the ball from the ruck gets two handed touched and handballs to open player storming into 50, umpire prematurely blows his load on holding the ball.

I'm not gonna hate on T-Mac.

Go Crows!

We don't deserve finals any more or less than we did before this game. All the teams in the bottom end of the 8 and below are there because they've dropped games.

This result is gut wrenching and a total disaster, but let's be careful not to extrapolate that in to the season being a disaster. It hasn't been.

I am so sick of seeing Melbourne players looking deflated after the game. It's your fault. You did this to yourselves. I hope it burns you in the guts the way it burns us. But gees it doesn't look like it out on the ground. 

This^^^

no point being gutted at the end.

There is no way Eagles will lose at home.

Unlike us they want to play finals and crows can drop a game and still be on top.

12 wins is better than last year.

IM going to wait until we are 20 goals up in the last quarter of a gf b4 I get confident again.

Enjoy your retirement Bucks.

Pathetic reason for a football club.

Everything to play for and dish up this shite.

Lucky my 2 year old barracks for Hawthorn.

Hawthorn had nothing to play for last night except sending off a champion. And they win. They just do it.

Every time we are expected to win, we lose (Freo, North, North, Collingwood).

Yeah the same dribble will come out in the media this week.

If we make it, Port or Syd will smash us and make us more of a laughing stock.

Disgusted.

I feel the same way, although it's slightly easier as I didn't see the game today.  I got angry at my phone instead.

If we make it, then we deserve to make it and we can get out there in a fortnight's time and play without any expectations.  I believe the experience of a final will do us plenty of good in the short and long term.

I wish we didn't have to do it, but it's over to you Adelaide.

Not making finals this year or making it by 0.01% on the back of another team's failure is a failed season. 

11 years. Now make it 12. 

The club earmarked finals. The club pretty much failed.

Really, Demons?  Unfortunately I can believe that you were insipid and couldn't get it done when it was needed.  Lived up to expectations.  Not sure we deserve to play finals, on that performance we are only making up the numbers.  Give our spot to a team that gives a [censored], and will play for it.

Yeah, but maybe this is Goodwin's go to - he is working with what he's got - can't win when expected...Win in the finals when its not! :)

Thanks Goody for taking us along on your journey, certainly been a pleasure.

In your next chapter you might want to include how to get the boys up in the first quarter in a very important game and also maybe a tip on manning up Howe instead of allowing him  to do the only thing he knows.

It really hurts following this club sometimes!!!:(

Absolutely no pressure in either of those games. I actually think a match against Sydney over there will be good for us. No expectations at all. We get to experience first hand where we have go get to, and then we can go away after an overall good year and work to match them.

You're welcome not to watch.

Terrible.  They weren't mentally ready for the start and they lost the game in quarter 1.

tom McDonald - atrocious today

jack watts - I actually don't think he's fit enough and was atrocious also

bernie Vince - sorry, we can't let that guy have another contract as he's done. 

many just watched rather than impose

im scared if we make finals what happens to us as finals intensity will melt us.

however, I feel that West Coast will now get it done.

hope our chokers enjoy there mad Monday celebration.

We are a long way from ready.

All of us here expect too much especially me.

I have to stop believing the hype the club keeps putting out.

Lets get another 2 midfielders and a ruck who can take a mark or two and well be ready.

4.40-7.10 tomorrow is going to suck.

We're better than Essendon and West Coast.

Indeed, that will frustrate me more than anything. West Coast is tripe and will get more blown apart by Sydney or Port than we will, but they'll be the ones who get to say they made finals.

For those who watched the game - what was the problem today?  Did we look nervous early and couldn't claw our way back in?  Or did the Pies simply want it more?

Disposal by foot. The usual suspects. Outmarked when it counted and outnumbered at the contest early on.

Especially after Grundy had done the same thing earlier on without penalty.

    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
