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.

Im not sure that holds true on demonland old dee. And I certainly wouldn't put you in the over rating players camp.

Some might argue that 2018 was an aberration. We'll get a better idea after thus season about that. But that argument diminshes the fact that it is impossible to fluke making a preliminary final. 

That team had good players and we have improved the list since. So we plenty of good players. Good enough to won a flag? Im not sure, but in our best 22 thete are no poor players.

Your last line is what I am on about. A significant number of our best 22 have poor delivery. They don't miss kick every now and then they do it week after week. Even last year we had a lot of forward entries that result in no score because of poor delivery which resulted  in turnovers and scores by the the other team.

Watched the Dorks play Geelong a couple of weeks ago and thought if we can't beat this rabble then we might as well pack up for the season.

I'm sticking by that claim.

Apart from Tmac, we can pretty well put our best side on the park. I was surprised Jackson got a gig, but hey it's bizzaro season, and just like Kossie, how else is the kid going to learn the game?

Melbourne easy! And the the first jolly good thrashing I'm dealing out today will go to Sportsbet.

~ Suspects this is due to the Maid being over worked last week ?

Was gonna write a poem,

But i really cant be stuffed.

They will likely play the tough guy, 

and hope they have us bluffed.

 

We often fade post half time,

and play like on the bong.

but today we'll come out firing,

and maintain it all game long.

 

I really think its time that

the MFC stood tall.

Forget the Mr nice-guy

lets grab 'em by the balls

 

MFC by 4 goals.

 

GO DEES !!!

 

This fits quite well to the tune of "Roxanne" (Police).

Actually quite surprised at the level of confidence on here.

We have already dropped two games we should have won.

They have been bashed like we were the week before and I expect them to come out firing.

They also have a pretty smart Coach, who adapts well to the situation facing the team.

We will have to play well to win.

Yep agree. We have a long tradition of patting ourselves on the back after winning a tough one, getting full of bathwater and getting pantsed in the next game.

Great pressure and better delivery last week but we've got to keep improving this week if we're going to match it with teams like the lions.

Last week reinvigorated my optimism od , so I'm not prepared to put us in the cr-p basket just yet.

However, if we don't win today, I will stuff us in that basket and nail the lid shut !

I really think we generally have the list and talent to be competitive and successful Old Dee.

I think we are cr-p because of the dumb footy we have been playing.

If we bring the pressure and lower our eyes as well as the coaches being flexible and responsive and willing to adjust against our oppo, we can be right there with the best of them.

I think the players saw changes to our game plan last week and responded as they should.

Hope we smash the poo and wees!

Given the flack Clarko has received this week, we have the added incentive that if we can beat them well, we can help send the Hawks season closer to the edge and their club into a coach questioning turmoil.

No way will Hawthorn play as badly as they have the last couple of weeks, but our best is good enough to win.

Question is what Melbourne we get, and if we fall back to bad habits watch Clarkson pick us apart tactically and take advantage. Potentially lots of intercept marks to Sicily and the ex Dees down back.

Can't say I'm confident of a win today. Its typical of Clarko to come out and make a statement today after being smashed all week.

Luckily he's not playing 'dazzle'...

...if both teams play to their best, we win.

Like most though, I'm not confident.

    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
