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.

Far out what a night this was.. this was literally 12 months ago. If you had told me that in 12 months time we would finish 2nd last on the ladder with 5 wins, i would have completely told you you've lost the plot. Especially after this performance when we completely bullied the cats..

Feels like a lifetime ago now...

But it is only half that time, until the next season starts.

Might go watch the highlights again. We can reminisce or start with a phantom post match discussion.

Full Game.
A year is a long time in football.

@dazzledavey36 

talk about sick and twisted 

however I read through the thread and interesting to see how many posters this season if doom are absent in this thread

our resident clown only posted once and it was to praise Chris Scott's press conference, which is obviously the first thing which would come to mind as a real Dees supporter after your biggest highlight in 12 years

I think we've all known that he's not actually a Melbourne supporter all this time.  As you've said previously, he would have similar accounts on other fan forums to stir up as much trouble as possible. 

As for this thread - I don't think I've ever celebrated harder than when Hannan kicked the sealer.  12 years of raw emotion was let out that night.  The opportunity to do this again won't be another 12 years in the making.

It's funny how perceptions change based on on field performance

Agreed.

In a similar light, I think last weekends finals games (and potentially next weekends) by other teams can also put some perspective on where the MFC was/is at:

1. Last weekend, Essendon were smashed by WC in Perth by about the same margin as we were against WC in last year's preliminary final;

2.  The Bulldogs were pretty underwhelming and got blown out of the water by GWS;

3.  After setting themselves up in a good ladder position and a home game at the Gabba, Brisbane were pretty woeful against Richmond.  Obviously Brisbane have the double chance and still have the opportunity to redeem themselves.

 

Whilst this season has undoubtedly been a total train wreck for the MFC, what can be said is that in 2018 our team stood up in finals and that much of that same list is still the core that will take us into 2020 and beyond, so I'm comfortable in the knowledge that they do have the mental fortitude to win big games/finals if the team can regain that kind of fitness, system and confidence back.

Brisbanes game was Melbourne like.
Ahead on the inside 50's and scoring shots.
Still got beaten convincingly.

I posted a while back that our 3rd qtr stats are outstanding. The number 1 team for the year. That says to me the coaching staff are able to make the necessary changes, reinforce the messages, get the team back on track if needed or counteract the opposition moves.

That is a very good sign that the coaches can identify what needs to be done and impart the right messages and moves.

It also seems that we have tightened up measurably since the Sydney game to mostly one on one footy - none of the no wings, or 2 behind the square for the bounce etc.

 

 

Have faith jnr. We have a young team and a young coach and they'll learn from this year. Give them a chance to prove themselves next year and have an opportunity for redemption.

Doc.  I sure hope they do use 2019 as a learning experience, analyze what went wrong, then look ahead and make amends.  If they just write it off as a mere aberration and don’t learn from it we would be in for a lot more pain.

I don't think goody will review this season. Put it behind us. Wasn't the Melbourne way.

Same.
I was in the pocket with my three tortured kids and he kicked it right in front of us.
That goal and the looks on my kids faces will stay with me forever.
Gives me chills every time.

But then to turn their toes up like they did this year just shattered me.
And again, that's mainly because of the kids.

Thanks for posting that. In a year that was bitterly disappointing from start to finish, it is bloody nice to invoke memories of an epic moment. I hit the roof in a good way at that goal - me and every other MFC fan I guess.

Hadn’t heard that call of it though. It’s a ripper. My memory is BT calling 40, 30, 20, 15...

I think you'll find this poster is one of the strongest slaters of our coaches now and how he saw the warning signs last season.

Exactly, that's why I I quoted that post to remind him that things are never as bad or as good as they seem. Don't worry he'll be back on board next year when we bounce back and he can point to that post and say "see, I knew Goodwin was a ripper I always backed him"

    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
