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 remember their supporters (all 24 of them) mocking us for a decade when we couldn't beat them. They had a right old laugh after they beat us by 122 points at Telstra Dome when Neil Craig was caretaker coach after Neeld got sacked.

After last nights win there has been a few calls on here today from some do-gooders telling us to be humble and tone down the rhetoric.  How about no.  If we slaughter North I will walk all over their graves and their supporters will know all about it.

Jesus christ people are actually worried about this game?? They're [censored] horrendous and I hope we spank them by 50 points. 

North is right up there as one of my most hated teams. They're stain in the AFL, and are just about as irrelevant as Gold Coast.

I hope they fold next year.

Our % might be the difference in a prime ladder spot come September. Might even be the difference in us getting a week off or not. Other teams in contention will belt them and benefit. As SWYL says....foot on the throat Demons.

We cant take any game lightly and we wont.

To me this is an ugly comment after years of our own irrelevancy. 

Be tough, be strong in our support but do not become inwardly regugnant. Respect the competition and respect Norths heritage.

Agree about the game. North are at rock bottom and have a long hard road ahead of them.

They have won more premierships than us recently and in terms of irrelevancy stakes we're putting our first serious season together in a lift time (2018 was a good run to finals but we were patchy all through that season). We're been a joke club for way too long so some self awareness about that fact wouldn't go astray on this thread.

Stay classy Folks

I hope we put them to the sword. Not coz I have a particular issue with them (in fact I barely notice them and when I do I find them boring and soulless), but because I want us to be ruthless against all teams, especially those on the ropes like North is.

I cannot stand that club and their supporters are all [censored]. Never met a North supporter who I didn’t want to punch in the face. Hard. 
I will never feel sorry for another club. We have been through more than anyone and nobody felt sorry for us. 
I hope we smash them by 20 goals and BB comes in and kicks 12. But I suspect it’ll be a closer game and after coming down from a massive win this week, it might just be a boil over. 

Don’t get me wrong, I’m hoping for a total and utter massacre. My only disappointment is that Boomer Harvey isn’t still playing, although he acts as their runner so he will have a front row seat.

It’s just that engaging in banter feels like stealing an ice-cream from a toddler. Besides, remember how patronising it was when we were so rubbish that people stopped teasing us?

Yep, that pity was by far the worst part of all of it.

The law of ex players in Bbb smashing their old clubs must come and work in our favor just once.

I hope he is selected and I hope he tops the goal kicking tally in just one game.

I cant get my head around seven zero and maybe Footscray losing.

I think Ill need to have a lie down somewhere if we keep winning.

Im just not used to enjoying the footy so much.

I think my hair is starting to grow back.

This is a disgraceful post. No question.

Disrespectful, especially from where the Dees are coming from in the last 10 years.

Evidence of how quickly the media(BT and Ch7) jumped on Kossie for pointing at the scoreboard and the need for Goodwin to give some quiet and probably thoughtful advice on skiting behaviour(assumed by me) is a risk to be managed. The marketing team would have been mortified at this instance.

The upside of remaining focussed and just playing well without the fanfare for me was the 2018 first semi against the Cats.

It was a 95% Dees crowd of the 90K in attendance, and Max said after it felt like a home game at Optus Oval with the crowd on our side. Worth a couple of goals maybe?

That's what we need now. Crap posts and attitudes won't deliver it. 

I trust in Goodwin, Williams, Yze (and even the new President Roffey) et al will see us  well in this regard.

Bulldogs won't lose this next one.

If we can smash North - and there is no excuse for a win under 12 goals - and the Tigers stick close to the bulldogs, we might get up on %. I still think it's a few weeks away if we keep winning. bulldogs I think face Port over there soon.

Sitting 6-0, having just humiliated the reigning premier and benchmark team of the last 4 years.  Up against the most irrelevant of the clubs having a VFL lineage.  We simply MUST smash them.  Clinical, emotionally detached ruthlessness.  No pity, no empathy, no quarter given.  We've been on the receiving end from the peak Geelong and Hawthorn teams of the past decade or so, not to mention Essendon and even North themselves.  Let's do our bit towards consigning that insipid lurching organisation into the dustbin of history.

Nah

I'm allowed to hate clubs that celebrated our misery during the dark days. Bit like how I hate crow supporters when they were celebrating Lever doing his knee back in 2018.

What on earth are you on about?? My post is about how much I hate North, and you go on some ramble about marketing team not liking Kozzies efforts, and the 2018 crowd numbers.

Seriously, I hate North, just like opposition supporters hate us. 

Get over it.

haters gonna hate Dazzle. 

Wishing a proud team  (with Barassi as its inaugral premiership coach no less) to fold IS disgraceful.

Over and out.

I have more concerns of us dropping a game to Sydney and Carlton then I do with North. I've watched them closely this year and they are almost align with our 2013 team.

    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.
