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.

This Sunday 23 February between 12pm - 2pm.

Yet another significant event for the club totally lacking in promotion. The family day was first publicised by email on 19 December and there has been nothing of note since. If the club want to sell memberships and merchandise on the day they should have been promoting it on a weekly basis.

Generally an excellent day if there aren't too many in attendance and the players are very good with the kids these days.

Don't agree poita there was a big promo on front of the website last week for this weekend's 4 events. Being 2nds game, seniors game, ladies game and family day today. I also got an email to the same effect. Looks ok to me.

You seem ambivalent about whether you want people to turn up or not.

Had a very brief chat with HB. Anyone who thinks he is hoping to play half way or late through the season is mistaken. 

He reckons he will be going much earlier than that.

He also picked up a kids footy completely different size to what he would be used to and drilled the kid he was kicking it to 30 meters away with a picture perfect drop punt.

Early crow of the year. He can beat Petracca in the b&f.

Had a great day despite the heat. All the players were friendly. Casey Sherriff was lovely to my niece.

Nephews had a great ti e with the dart footys. Lots of fun activities for them. Sad to think they’ll be too old for this in a few years.

No sign of Daisy Pierce. My niece is dying to meet her.

Went along for the first time with my girls and they had a great day out.

Highlight of the day was, of course, the face painting.  That's what my four year old says anyway.  The heat was pretty oppressive but there was enough shade around when you needed a break.

All the players were friendly and approachable.  Waited close to an hour in the line to get Max to sign my daughters jumper, but the wait was worth it.  The way he interacts with the fans, from young kids through the older generation, is first class.  There is a reason why he is likely to be installed as captain.  

There was plenty to do and lots of freebies given out as the day went on.  Overall the club did a great job with it and we'll be back next year.

At one stage there was a game going on where two players were getting rolled up in bandages.  As the pressure mounted I saw ANB fumble his bundle of bandages and drop them on the stage floor.  Classic.

HB should focus on footy and family and a little less on the other wonderful sites our city have to offer and he'll be fine.

 

Won't see him until mid year at best perhaps even later if we are playing well.

And what spots don't you want HB to pop up at DW.

Maybe the NBL ? He was just asked to train when Stephen May and he were at a game prior to Xmas with another player Nev Jetta  I think.

But tough he has done everything right and if you believe what you see in the doco then he is more than all in and totally emotionally involved.

Your comment was really not necessary IMO.

    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.
