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 predict leishman will come close to a major again

so will scott

some unknown yank or obscure scando to win pga and us open . Or koepka both

 

isn’t this golf predictions?

 

 

trac Brownlow 

Golf is easier to predict than our team.

Watching the end of last season, I don't think the culture and heart is there.

Slight improvement and will finish 10th

Melbourne predictions

Demons finish 10th due to a standard Melbourne late season capitulation after hovering around 6th for most of the second half of the year

BnF - Clayton Oliver, who also makes All Australian team

Leading goal-kicker - Fritsch, kicks 45 goals as a stay at home forward

Langdon to surprise and finish top 5 in our BnF

Petracca to make All Australian squad, but not team. He plays mostly midfield but is named as a forward. He also finishes top 5 in our BnF.

Gawn again the dominant ruckman, but misses a few weeks with injury and thus misses out on AA team

Rivers our best first year player

Jones and Hibberd retire, both spending time in the VFL as the season progresses

TMac struggles for goal-kicking form again, despite playing whole year up forward

 

Other predictions

Premiers - Richmond

Wooden Spoon - Gold Coast

Brownlow - Marcus Bontempelli

Coleman - Tom Lynch (Richmond)

Rising Star - Matt Rowell

AVB 'rag dolls' Selwood in the Prelim and kicks a point from the resulting free.  This breaks the deadlock as the siren sounds.  Selwood whinges to the ump that it's 'not fair'.  Saty, George, Baghdad, Dee Spence and Deespicable are among 15,000 'faithful' at Thursday training before the Granny, and provide the usual comprehensive  and insightful training reports.  Tracc and Kozzi put on a clinic in the Granny as we waltz away with #13.  All Demonlanders have a late night.   SWYL pronounces that all shortcomings of the MFC in the past 56 years are forgiven.

Pity we have to wake up !!

i can see

an even first half of the season

win the first and another 5,

but in the second half lose the first 4

and win the majority of the rest and we finish somewhere 7-10 but with the form to win it if we get to September.

but an exciting year worth watching and no blowout losses, because the backs May, Salem, Lever and Harmes work too well for other teams to exploit.

GoDees!!

My Crystal ball:

Demons finish regular season in fourth.

Petracca to stamp himself as a match winner in a couple of big games, like the Tigers Anzac Day Game.

Pickett to be first draftee to play, getting 5 games.

Weid to gain confidence over the first half of the season, becoming a handful for defenders and a fan favourite with his attack on the footy after the bye.

Our new wings to really making a structural difference, enhancing transition and delivery.

May and Lever to find their groove and become a seriously scary set of players in a strong back 6.

In non demons news:

North to drop like a stone with poor culture, Adelaide also on the slide

Brisbane to settle back to lower top 8

Doggies to play hot and cold, but their hot is red hot.

Tigers get big heads and dont apply the same pressure across the park and get caught out more often.  

Gil to be a complete Dill on at least 3 occasions before the bye.

The MRP is still a farce, playing favourites and being too difficult to even guess who will get rubbed out, who will get a fine and who will be Paddy Dangerfield.

Top 5 goal kickers

2 -    T Mac     47
3  -    Melksham   36
4  -    Petty   29
5  -    Petracca  27

We'll win the premiership and Steven May will make AA alongside Max, Clarry, Tommy and Trac. Harmesy makes squad but just misses.

Greta Thunberg will be appointed to the board of Shell.

    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
