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 support Melbourne and Goodwin

I support the Melbourne Football Club. I always have. I also support Simon Goodwin.

I have supported Melbourne from before I can remember. I love the Melbourne Football Club. My favourite player is Robbie Flower R.I.P. My favourite current player is Jake Melksham. I can't wait to see him play again this Saturday.

I was born in the month after Melbourne's last premiership victory in 1964. I have never seen Melbourne win an AFL/VFL day premiership. I endured ridicule from my classmates throughout my 12 years of schooling for barracking for Melbourne. The ridicule has not stopped.  It was hell being a Melbourne supporter in the 70s and 80s. During this time, my father took my brother and me to football games aligned with our opposing teams. Hawthorn enjoyed great success then, and they usually won. Melbourne usually lost.

How to recover...

Melbourne  and this exacerbated Melbourne's to ameliorate the needs o f watch Robbie Flower. As a young boy he meant everything to me as afootbaleeJacko... And the Wizard... And Jokovich.... He endured as a goal kicking talent and indeed superb entertainment throughout a depressing period of the MFC which included the return of coach Ronald Dale Barassi and his inability after his spectacular success at North Melbourne to do the same at the MFC. ite this, and in the decades following same, I have remained steadfast in my support of the the greatest and oldest sporting club in the world.rne didn't. 

In 1987, after finally breaking through and winning one of the first night Grand Finals against Essendon, I ran onto the ground (with thousands of other Melbourne supporters) at VFL Park when Melbourne beat Essendon in the 1987 VFL Night Grand Final. I got to touch the Premiership Cup. That was a night of elation and optimism. A time of hope.

We came close again in the day competition that year (1987) but lost the infamous preliminary final after the siren against the Hawks. It steeled us to make the GF the next year but once again the Hawks were too good in 1988. Melbourne and Essendon were particularly strong

In the finals (2018), we beat Geelong and Hawthorn. Think about that for a moment.

These were two sides that had smashed us for almost two decades and to defeat them in front of 90,000 people (the majority of which were Melbourne supporters.

Add this: Aussies smashing Poms in the Ashes.

Poms truly [censored] WEAK.

We beat an unusually ordinary finals side in Hawthorn and a comfortable with themselves side in Geelong. Yes they were great wins for a success starved Club. But it was a step up in class when we came up against the Eagles. Geelong have addressed a lot of their issues since last year and the Hawks are just paddling. Injuries aside I cannot see we have addressed any of the issues the Prelim game exposed. Good sides hurt and learn from preliminary final defeats we seem to think it was good to get there.

Good for you for flying the flag. My story of support is somewhat similar but a few years older so I can remember as a 7 year old us winning in 64. I went straight over to the paddock and practiced drop kicks from full back.

How to you explain our victory over the Eagles in Perth a few weeks earlier in R22?     I suspect things are more complicated.

I do and will always support the club till I take my last breath.

I support Goodwin being Senior Coach going into 2020, but after 2 years of continuous improvement and development this season has shown he needs to change several areas with ihe department and plan.

What they may have felt would be dealt with by natural progression and experience hasn't and the training wheels are off, time for Goody to develop and learn from his errors

We beat them in a home and away, true, and they learned from it and got better and beat us when it counted. Are we really at the point where we crow about home and away victories.

Well, I follow Melbourne because mu uncle's teacher left his school in the Wimmera to play with Melbourne in the middle of the year. THat wa in the mid 1920's and my uncle followed them all his life ( he died @ 92).

As a kid in 1950's, I thought I was onto a good thing (still do) ..First saw Melbourne play in 1963 @ Junction Oval (CArl's first game )

Robbie Flower made it worthwhile going to the footy . Gary Hardeman could mark anything and Stan Alves owned the Members wing.

I still think we are recovering from the hidings from Hawthorn and the loss after the siren. I was numb !!!

The good thing about Melbourne was that any little success became great. Beating Carlton on the eve of the finals when we finished in bottom part of ladder and they won the Flag nearly was equivalent.

Last year was the start of our Decade of Arrogance , but it seems it has hit a hiatus.  This year has taught us to be humble in our period of greatness. ( and I have only just opened my bottle of red !!!)

Normal Arrogance will resume next year !!!

Yes we are at that point.   Anyway, for us it counted in R22.  I think you have dodged the question.  At least others pointed to WCE missing players.

As I just mentioned to SWYL, we have been told all season that we can't use injuries as an excuse so it is not a valid argument to state that we only beat the opposition because they had injuries.

I also seem to recall pantsing GWS in round 23.  Apparently they were tanking for some reason....(I genuinely heard this from a supporter at the game)

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    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.
