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.


GAMEDAY - Round 12



Recommended Posts

Looking forward to today's game. Im taking my boys (3 and 5 year old) and am planning to drive in to arrive outside the stadium by 2pm. Can anyone suggest a place to park that is not to far for the little tackers and easy access from the South as we are Bayside. I was thinking maybe the Olympic Park precint, is this a good idea?

Looking at the fixture i feel this is a really important game. Like, yeah we are due for a loss but next round pls?


Of the 11 games left, we play 4 bottom-6 sides, who we should beat.  That's 12 wins, and we'll need 15 at least (maybe 16) for top 4.

We also play:

- 3 top-5 sides, and 2 of those are interstate (WCE and Geelong). 

- 4 mid-tier sides, with 2 interstate (Adelaide and Port).

So we need to beat Collingwood, Sydney and GWS at the G if we want to be a top 4 chance. That allows us to lose all 4 interstate games, but we'd probably want to pinch one anyway.

 

Also Collingwood are playing well, so this is a real test. This is the only finals contender we play at a neutral ground  (i.e. neither team traveling) so will tell us a lot. 

If we win this, unless we have an unexpected late season fadeout (form, fitness, injuries, whatever) then I think we're capable of beating anyone, especially in Melbourne, which bodes well if we can hold a top 4 spot. Bigger game than I'd realised.

Beautiful day outside, will go in early to hang with thousands of Dees fans in Fed Square and get around Neale and walk to The G.

I can`t remember the last time I was this excited about a game of footy.

Will be a hard fought game but we will get the job done today.

Viney has just been warming up in his first 3 games back. He wasn’t there R23 last year and can only imagine how pi$$ed off he was watching from the sidelines that day. 

Predicting a “Best On” performance today and hopefully seeing Neale hand him the trophy post match.

Game stsrts at 10.20pm here. 

Looking forward with trepidation.  We’ve played some fabulously exciting footy the past 6 weeks, but it seemed all opponents were playing poorly!

Hopefully we forced them to be poor, but I’m still aprehensive what will happen when a good team really brings their best game against us!

Good question.  But I don't think the Pies are that 'good' team.  The teams they have won and lost to are very similar to ours but we have had better wins and not so bad losses.  If they are 'good' we are 'better'.  

Nonetheless, I share your trepidation - they will bring their best game and be really fired up to continue their rnd 23 effort.  But I think we will win if for no other reason that we now play 120 minutes and they don't.  And we have by far the better midfield! 

Go Dees!

I am a combination of nerves and excitement. I’m going to the footy with my Magpie husband and 14 other corporates who are also Pies supporters.

I cannot wait for game time. I’m pacing around watching the clock and trying to do some paperwork to pass the time.

I have been told that our big ruckman is very nervous about this game and doesn’t usually suffer from nerves. Hopefully he will move on, enjoy the occasion and slaughter Grundy and Cox in the ruck.

I truly believe in the current version of the Demons.  This feeling of 'true belief' has been a very rare acquaintance in recent years, but it is undeniable.  I'm both excited and anxious about today's game, but I'm quietly confident that we have Collingwood's measure in most areas, and especially in our 'never say die' attitude, which will get us across the line if all else fails.  Dees by 6 goals.

We will win this going away.

Last year the Pies were too hard and focused for us. Still had the soft underbelly.

Thanks to them and the Hawks this year, we have since learnt the art of being hard and focused. witness the Dogs game. They did the old "throw the kitchen sink at 'em and watch them wilt" trick. It only made us stronger.

Imagine going into the bye in second place with about as many wins as we usually cobble together in a season.

Tell me I'm not dreaming.

I hope you have a wonderful day hurling abuse and vitriol at that lot Jane.

BTW Jane, I'm guessing that "corporate" filth supporters can afford dental implants ( albeit of poor quality ). Check that out if you can. Although vomiting or spitting them out while  simultaneously gorging a hot dog and a classy Jim Beam may make it an easy task

Is there anything as satisfying in such a situation, as to save up all their derogatory comments against the DEMONS, and then shout the same things ironically, as we surge to victory?

"You're not good enough Oscar" (as he outmarks Cox), "soft possession Hogan" (as he marks & kicks truly), get off our ground, it's their grand final, they're too fragile, send them to the VFL, etc.

    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
