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 caught  the last bit of the game. Silly me thought the only game on Good Friday would be prime time. 

Of course it's a graveyard shi(f)t twilight game.

Both absolutely rubbish teams. I'd like to think we don't take them lightly yet again, nor that we underestimate the tactical nous of Brad Scott yet again   

Mate, you should have seen the first half. I felt like washing my eyeballs with bleach. I missed the third quarter but at least North had the decency to turn up for the last quarter.

From another disgruntled Saints supporter on Big Footy (couldn't resist):

I felt like beating off w/ 80 grit sandpaper after watching that shitte. Richo needs to take a long hard look at himself in the mirror this week.

 

Bancroft said he can help with that.

one of the worst games i have ever seen.

The result makes the Lions game even more important this Sunday. Given the saints ( a rabble today ) beat the Lions by 4 goals last , what does that suggest would be an acceptable result Sunday?

 If its under 6 goals I'd be worried.

True.  We will need to come prepared, not with the stubbornness of 'if we try this enough it should work at some point'.

 

Definition of insanity - doing the same thing over and expecting the same result.

Demons v Roos has to be even money at this stage.

We are their biatches.  17 in a row.  History vs reason.

what was displayed today was unwatchable dross.  By both sides.  Honestly, if we can’t smash them and eat their livers and hearts (too far?), then we are making up the numbers.  They worked harder that the s-ain’ts.  That was all.  Skills were EDFL standard at best.

Don't worry about the margin we just need to win. It is in Brisbane you know.

He might, if we allow Norf 66 inside 50s and 20 odd set shots like the Saints did yesterday, best to worry about Hipwood first.

If Brown kicks 10, the whole team has probably spectacular failed. Or if he kicks 10 but it's their only 10 and we've kicked 20, it would be an outstanding result.

The key defender really only needs to be the closest match for strength. The rest is about intelligence from the rest of our team, the whole team but particularly the defensive group.

St Kilda are so bad.  I dont see a silver lining for them either.  Very little talent on the list. Poorly coached. Blew their #1 pick a few years ago.

Bottom 4 beckons.

I never rated them, even in the last 3 seasons when everybody put the saints on the same path as us, their list is developing in a strange way, st nick and Leigh were really great players and still they were the saints 2 most  influential players last season, their team never got passed them, they recruited patty to be a replacement for st. Nick, the Scout's  obviously never watched him play because he's a totally different player to Nick Riewoldt, he is a stay at home full forward, they went out with the dodos, he will never be any good and if he was not a no 1 pick would have been delisted, he is not even half of the player of watts, at least with watts he could turn up when he wanted to, patty will never ever win a game of footy for the saints.

I guarantee you North will beat us next week if the usual suspects like Brown, Waite, Cunnington, Tarrant and Higgins kill us as usual.

Oh, and Mason Wood will get recalled and kick his 3 or 4 as he always does against us.

Next week goes further than a danger game. It’s a game we will clearly lose unless we play 4 qtrs of our ABSOLUTE best footy.

I’m not trolling or being sarcastic. North absolutely own us and it’s an embarrassment and a disgrace that they have an 11 year winning streak over us.

Last year, I thought St Kilda would make the 8.

This year, I have tipped them to finish well outside the 8, and that would place Richardson in a bit of strife if things are bad enough.

Their midfield lacks real stars. Steven is close but his disposal holds him back from being an A-grader.

Taking out Riewoldt, even at his age, and replaing him with McCartin automatically makes you a 4 or 5 goal worse side. A forward line of McCartin, Bruce and Membrey is pretty ordinary.

For them to succeed in the next 3-5 years, on top of the usual good development of players, they need McCartin to really come on, and need to bring in a quality free agent, but I can't see either of those things happening, which leaves them in no mans land.

Let's send both North  and St Kilda to Tasmania and get the unemployed to push Tasmania further towards Antarctica. Win Win

These days, half of Tassie's population are Banana benders.

That state might end up as 'rugby-central', as climate change takes a big hole. ;)

Are we getting a little ahead of ourselves talking about next week maybe getting over Brisbane away would be a good idea

 No disputing that Nash. ..but you reckon he can match Brown in the air? Do you have any recollection of how Brown has torn up our defence in recent times? Fairly blanket comment by you that factors in nothing in regards to OMACs strength vs weakness

    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
