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.

The bounce into goal was also pretty delightful. The joys of an oval ball, or as my dad would call it “Sherrin-dipity”. 

The Saints haven’t had much luck when it comes to “Sherrin-dipity”! ?

Any team other than maybe Norf & GC the commentators would have been saying "clear goal".

Even the goal line official in the box said "i think he touched it but there's no clear vision, stay with the umpires call" even though to me there was no clear evidence to suggest how he came to that conclusion.  The ball gained momentum and was just across the line imv even IF he did manage to get a nail on it at some stage.

Everyone's been kicking us for decades not just KC.  Some habits are hard to break and people are like sheep & keep falling in to line with the mainstream kicking.

RF what have GC and Norf  got to doveith the decision and making them different.

Storm in teacup as Ump was in best position and call was referred back as that as many decisions are even with full blown ARC technology.

Saints fans are rightly upset that they dropped a game against us as they clearly don't rate us due to the 20/3 result over the last decade and since their 2006 qualifying final loss. They blew it with some errant goal kicking early persistent long bombing of the ball to forwards who were out matched on the day primarily by "the wall" Stephan May who was as good as SOS Rance and Scarlett combined.

Thirdly like us their passing to their forwards when attempted was below par for a team sitting 6th.

Ratten fell asleep at the wheel also and for once Goody wasn't tested with slick game changes which test his creativity to the limit.

Move on folks check the result in the papers check the ladder we are in the Top8 and providing we take each match one at a time Have every chance of returning to Finals.

One St. Kilda nuffy on social media was claiming that they should take the points away from Melbourne and award the match to St. Kilda.

Another suggested that they should replay the game mid-week. Not sure when mid-week is considering we play again on Thursday.

Cooper Grech is the biggest nuffy on social media, and that is saying something. His Facebook page did not even have Tracc in the team of the week he is so salty.

Even if it was judged a point there is no guarantee they would have got the next goal.  It would have been a kick-in instead of a centre bounce. 

We defended the kick-ins very well.  They spent a lot of the game switching back and forth in our i50 so there is every chance we would have locked it in or kicked a goal ourselves and we still would have won.

There was six minutes to go with any number of outcomes if it had been a point.  It wasn't.  We won.  End of story!

Commentators saying we escaped with a lucky goal are being disingenuous.

Indeed ... it would have brought about a completely different series of events. Who knows what that would have been.

In any event, Petracca freakin marked the ball, or at the very least should have been awarded a free kick. (ALA free kick to Membrey awarded against Viney.)

Not quite up to the Jack Watts QB goal  but nice...

Definitely that Saints player was not chasing it hard until it took the bounce. Perhaps the Saints supporters might like to highlight that.

Just a bit of fun. Hopefully it annoys some Saints fans who might have it sent to them.

I like the AFL sending out an edict to all grounds hosting AFL matches to make sure their camera technology is up to scratch.

Well AFL how about you sort out the grounds that can host matches with the right standards in the first place? Do you even think of this stuff. Its in your rule book so you need to step up and make compliance with your Magna Carta part of the deal in all respects. How about you fork out for some camera equipment and send it to grounds that may be struggling financially and work out a standard to where it all goes, otherwise leave it up to the friggin goal umpy! Employ 3 if you have to !!

FMD 2 12yo kids with mobile phones taped to the goal posts could do better.

Laughingly this morning on SEN Kane Corness admitted the umpire was in a perfect psootion and then went on

From his couch in his Adelaide loungeroom.

This has to win some sort of media quote award this year surely?

Looked over to me but who knows. Doesn't matter now. It's a goal. They're going to put goal line cameras at every game. Convo over.

But also...

He marked that ball. Even if the St. Kilda defender got some of that first touch this is mark every day of the week, I've seen one of these called everygame even when the other player gets first touch. Trac gets the majority of the first touch with his hand in front and you can see by the way the ball goes straight up that he had control of it using more palm as opposed to the other players swiping fingers (of which he if go most of it the ball would travel sideways). 

If this wasn't deemed a goal or simply rolled through for a behind we would be having a different more frustrating conversation as demons supporters because that was a mark. Quite a brilliant Petracca pure strength and skills mark.

Looked clearly over the line before the defender was even close to touching the ball - surprised they even called for a review TBH

Kane Cornes wouldn't know if his ar$e was on fire

Perhaps if Fox threw in a bit more money,  the problem wouldn't have occurred..... 

But then there would be less opportunity for controversey which Fox loves.

    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
