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.

I’ve watched a few of the women’s matches and have been impressed by the inside 50’s effort. Unfortunately, it seems easy for the opposition to bring it back out. I think if we can hold it in there or better still, convert more efficiently, we have the game style to produce a winning score.

Ladder after round 6.

 

Basically any of the top 5 teams can make the GF (if I have the logic right).

From the Top -  If:

  • Bulldogs win - in GF at Home
  • Demons win - in GF at Home
  • Crows win can dislodge loser of Bulldogs vs Demons and into GF as they have extra points for drawn game
  • GWS win can dislodge loser of Bulldogs vs Demons and go into GF as they have extra points for drawn game
  • Both Crows and GWS win the one with the higher % will go into the GF
  • Lions win go into the GF if Crows lose and their % is better than loser of Demons vs Bulldogs.  (This is the only scenario in which our % counts).

We must win next week!  Or we rely on Lions to beat GWS (by just a small margin)  and Pies to beat Crows. 

We might look back and rue the game we lost badly to Freo after having the proverbial 'unassailable lead' at the end of the first quarter

Again we hold our destiny in our own hands!  Go Dees!

 

Thanks to @dl4ethere is another outcome -  a draw with Bulldogs will see both teams into the GF

Win big a big thing. Only a couple of points to play with against them but brissy win by a goal anyway.

To make the gf we have to beat Footscray at at their home ground. Not a happy hunting ground. Are we set for another 1987 thriller?

Really bad luck for Mel bloody horrible ,we are going to miss her   

Yes bad news for Mel but we probably won't miss her too much as we have a ready made replacement in Jakobsson who will, hopefully, be right to return from injury. Very much quality like for quality like.

Potentially silly question - what date is the Grand Final? Is it next Saturday or Sunday?

Google searches giving me nothing....

 

 

On the Saturday, and there saying it's likely to be at Ikon park, as they don't want to run it before one of the mens games. Kinda makes sense as besides Brissy (who are only a small chance of making it) all other mens teams play on the Friday or Sunday.

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.

    DEMONLAND: Good evening, Demon fans and welcome to the Demonland 2024 Grand Final Podcast … It’s been a beautiful last day of September and how sweet it is to bring you our coverage of all things that matter about the great Demon resurgence which we’ve seen over the past six or seven months.
