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.

So if Brisbane had have played like a 'Supposed' top 4 team there is no way they would have trailed by 3 or 4 goals for most of the game

Therefore, they wouldn't have been playing catch up and are probably in front by a winning margin close to siren time in the last quarter

The Cats weren't much better but they really didn't have a lot of opposition in the first half

The above describes how the game was won and lost in a general sense

I haven't seen one person here praise the Lions first half but plenty of lambasted their efforts

Control what you can control otherwise you're asking for trouble

Neither team are a flag threat and if we can't beat both sides we're not much chop either

I can't stand Geelong. 

I hope they don't get near it this year. Their players are getting on and if this year they can't make it to the GF they'll be in some trouble. 

Anyways, what was most painful to watch was Smith gliding up and down the wing and then of course the sealer. 

I could just picture him doing that for us...

The joys of supporting the Dees hey :)

Bingers, you’ve got it half right -you are right about the 720 degrees but THEN  he handed - not hand balled- the ball to Selwood: goal.

Quite right. I forgot about that. Who was it? Guthrie?

Plan what Wyl?

We get told what to do because we're an insignificant club in the eyes of the AFL

1 finals appearance in 14 years with a mostly chequered history prior to that isn't going to win any favours

The club only has itself to blame whilst us downtrodden and success-starved members & supporters have to cop it in the eye (we're mere spectators when you boil it all down)

But the natives are restless this time around ... if we don't perform there will be major changes in my view.  The patience is running thin

We need to turn up every week with no exceptions ... do that and the wheel will turn from the AFL's point of view (albeit slowly)

The AFL have a two way connection with the Umpires. That decision needed rectification. The AFL is responsible for not implementing this change in an UNMITIGATED DISASTER that could change the season.

As for the decision not being clear to UMPIRES that were very very close, those two collectively should not umpire again, along with the appropriate suspension of payments,  until they improve to the extent where they receive from an unbiased group of neutral officials that they can carry out their duties effectively.

What an absolute joke. 3 umpires out there and nobody saw it? The most blatant HTB of all time.

Jeelong have been cheating down there for years, if you are happy to concede that, i can’t help you. 
Brisvegas were robbed last night blatantly in front of the Umpires and nothing was done. 
Even the AFL have said so today

Result should be reversed

What if Bailey then missed the goal? Anyone's crystal ball able to see if he got it or not?

 

Lousy umpiring game after game week in week out. One bad decision should not be the catalyst for reform, but if that's what it takes, great.

 

Meanwhile Geel & Bris can both rot. GO DEMONS!!

You're dreaming again Wyl (like I've always said, it's ok to dream but it's not ok to be a dreamer)

And I'm not conceding anything ... perhaps I just have a different outlook than those baying for blood over a few questionable decisions.

And perhaps you could stand apart from the mob occasionally instead of taking the safe option of going along with the crowd (I won't hold my breath)

I'm also a big picture person ... we will be sent down to Geelong as long as we're viewed as an insignificant club

And Brisbane robbed themselves by not turning up in the first half ... one could argue that the pretender Lions got what they deserved (they certainly didn't deserve to win)

You're letting your anti Geelong bias get in the way of an intelligent discussion.

SWYL .... you are one of my favourite posters.

But I presume you're kidding about wanting the result to be reversed.

What are you talking about Macca?

With 20 Seconds to go it was 2 points the difference, that is reality, not Mob Rule

In the Goalsquare there were 2 BLATANT decisions against Jeelong

1. Holding the Ball

2. Incorrect Disposal 

Neither were paid, and it cost a team the game. 
Disgraceful. 
What Brisvegas did or didn’t do in the first half is completely irrelevant

Too gutless to pay the free to Brisbane in front of their goals whilst playing Geelong in Geelong in the dying minutes. There’s no other explanation. 

They did the same back in r23 of what I think was 2014 or 15 when Bris needed a win to make the 8 v geel. Dying seconds, ball in dispute... Chapman dives onto it and the ump calls a ball up instantly. 

Edit: 2013. @7m20s

    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
