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.

If we do play in Sydney week 1, I suggest jumping in early to get flights. 

All the frequent flyers (me included), will be on the Qantas website trying to score freebies with points. 

The real question is, fly in fly out, or fly in, stay the night so you can drink post match, then fly out? 

Hopefully we win on Sunday and get to play at the G. 

It will be a Night game and fly out option is not on due to airport curfew. Need to stay unless driving back.

As it happens, I'll be in Sydney the weekend of the first finals. Needless to say, if the Demons are playing there, I'll be there (+ 3 offspring... all Demons' supporters).

Dees 80% likely to play Geelong at the G during the day! 

I hate night games! 

I'm being selfish but I would much prefer a night game because I'm over in London. Really would prefer not having to wake up at like 5-6am for our first final in over a decade!

Warning THIS IS A RANT.  I have never been to a final before.  My husband (hawks) has been to a zillion finals plus 4 grand finals.  You know what he said when I told him I would be road tripping it to Sydney if we end up having to play there?  "You aren't single anymore, you have a family & kids to look after.  Plus your team is not the only team in the finals (i.e. if you go to Sydney I have to stay home & MIND MY OWN CHILDREN & hence will miss out on seeing my team play finals".  My response "ok ok, we will cross that bridge if it comes to it, stomped out the room & yelled BUT I AM GOING & YOU CAN'T STOP ME....!!!  Bloody selfish poos & wees supporting husband.....  Rant over.  Thanks for listening my fellow demons :-)

Go Deeby, I'm with you on this. When we have won 12 premierships since Hawthorns last I will agree with him. 

NB:- in 1964 Melbourne had won 12 flags - Hawthorn 1

               2017 Melbourne 12 - Hawthorn 13

Toughen up hubby, time to look after your kids, go Deeby!

Your first mistake is marrying a hawks supporter..... 

My missus WAS a norf supporter I told her I would buy her what ever she wanted from tiffany and co to ditch the [censored] jumper and get a dees one. 

She now wears the demons jumper proud up here on the GC every game day with out question. I have also been given the all clear to travel to where ever I need to watch a final this year. 

My problem, I dont want to miss the granny so I dont want to fly to melbourne early just to watch us knock off the cats.

Please tell me the children are little dees???

Tell your hubby this sort of rubbish might have been acceptable when we last won a flag. But not in 2018.

Even if we play the first final in Melbourne you should book a beaut room at the Pullman (the old Hilton), have a slap up meal at some flash restaurant (but not with him - dees fans only) and then before the game a big buffet breakfast before strolling to your premium seat ta the g to watch us smash the Cats.

Get ahead of the game and book a room for the following week and hope we play the hawks and make sure he knows he has to look after the kids (because you are more organised).

Out of interest.... Have we ever played at the Sydney Showgrounds?

I can recall playing GWS at Manuka but cannot say I can recall a Showgrounds game. Mind you GWS v MFC matches were never big on FTA.

Yes, we've had some stinking bad performances out there.

In 2013 we let GWS have their only win of the year, and they steamrolled us in the last to win by 6 goals.

In 2014 they also won by 5 or 6 goals in the wet, however I think we had 1 goal on the board at half time.

GWS V Melbourne week 1 (if it happens) may actually be at 3:20pm or 4:20pm Saturday Sep 8 rather than 7:45pm.

The AFL likes to have 2 Saturday games, and a possible schedule could be as follows:

Thursday night - West Coast V Collingwood

Friday night - Richmond V Sydney

Saturday twilight - GWS V Melbourne

Saturday night - Hawthorn V Geelong

If we happen to play GWS at Kebab Stadium, what day will tickets go on sale for MFC members? Is it likely to be sunday night at the conclusion of the game, or more likely to be Monday 9am?

 

Edit: Pointless post. My apologies. I found the info on the AFL site site. Says Tuesday 9am

So it's pretty much Geelong or GWS first game unless something silly happens to Collingwood or Hawks vs syd is a draw?

Would not want to be playing Freo at over there after last week. Expect them to really take it to the filth.

I would be so happy to make you happy. I think our boys would be feral if we met the Cats in a final. Defeat would just be unacceptable to them.

Thank you all for your words of encouragements.  I particularly liked your suggestion Binman about a night at the Pullman.  Yes I should have known better than to marry a hawks supporter.  But hey, can't win everything can you.  Re my kids, no way in hell would they ever wear the horrid brown & yellow.  NEVER EVER EVER.  Enough of those around my neck of the woods.  Enjoy this exciting time demonlanders.  And keep up the (mostly...) brilliant posts.  Roll on the finals!

    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
