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.


GAMEDAY: Rd 08 vs Sydney



Recommended Posts

It's actually enjoyable going tot he footy now and seeing this exciting team play. 

Have no idea what to expect tonight. I think we should win but I hate seeing Franklin & Rampe back and our ins aren't giving me much confidence. 

I expect May to take Buddy. Hickey has been in good form to Gawn will have his work cut out and the midfield should be a good battle. 

Heeny out helps. If we lose at least we will still be top 2 but win and we can go even more clear of the team below us.

Do we have one of the best forward lines going around?

Cats fwd line last night was awesome.

We are just yet to see its full potential.

If Tmac can play his best, hes as good as Hawkins maybe.

Fritra is our Rohan and Bbb can be better than Cameron.

If Tmac loses form he will be replaced by Sw.

Tmac was not good last week but has shown this year he is still a great player especially as a foward.

Add Luke J to the mix and its a deadly combo with our smalls in Spargo and Kozzie.

So since the others have shown great effort it hangs on Bbb to strut his stuff.

Thought he was quite good last week and aside from two goals was instrumental in two more.

Geelong showed the power of three proven dangerous guns in their attack. 

I think we will tonight.

So glad that Frittas playing.

Dees by six with Swans missing lots of chances instead of us.

Trac to tear it up with Kozzie and Harmes surprising many with a great performance.

2 x Free Adult reserve seat tickets for tonight.

Have been away and totally forgot that I opted in to get tickets via our memberships so happy to give away to someone that hasn’t yet organized tickets for themselves.

Seats are on Level 2 and each adult seat comes with a child seat (age up to 5) with it - but the child seat was free / included so doesn’t have to be utilized.

Direct Message me on here if keen.

Cheers

Any word on if Melksham will play since his wife just gave birth today?

If he’s out, do we think Sparrow or Jones will be the late in?

It would appear that the MCC is booked out tonight so is it going to be a big crowd?

Melbourne won't be flat today. They had their bad one against the Kangas.

Sydney have had a disrupted week, with covid scare. Coaches missing and anxiety states will have its mental effect, hopefully in a negative way. There will be less time to review and work on the lessons from the game against the Cats.

Tracc to show why his big contract was appropriate, with other new contracted players standing up together, Oliver and Salem. It will be a sign of our stability. 

Need more selfless acts, so it is action and not a thought bubble.

Angry Dees, time to belt this lot and continue to change the dialogue of, "no fight". We are hard to beat, as we play for the 120 minutes. Sydney will have to be on to keep up with us.

BBB to do more after he got the "rust" out of his system.

Backline to keep on keeping on.

I want to see a more active midfield at the stoppages.

Our runners and link players have been breaking lines and assume this will happen again. Sydney could work hard to block, nulify and disturb our flow. I expect a dour game from them as they try and stem the flow of goals. If they try to play in our forward area and counter, they will be smashed because our conversion of inside 50 is much better than in the past and our backs are smart and have a great structure. 

Our ball movement, execution and decisions, and the pressure we bring to the game has been outstanding. 

Training with a smile, then with the seriousness of the knowledge that we are hunted. We will turn that round and hunt those underfed Swans. We are confident, with plenty of buy in and a good system.

Challenging games will get us up and going. Do the basics well, and trust in our way.

Own the G, Go Dees.

I’m nervous af right now. I liken game day to going on a long haul flight: you’re nervous/excited/anxious on the day of, leading up to the bounce (take-off), you can only relax once the siren goes and we’ve won (touchdown) and you hope like hell that the people around you in forced close proximity don’t ruin your experience with nasty belligerent behaviour - talking to you, Collingwood thugs - (crying babies, passenger next to you who won’t stop talking to you and has bad breath). 
That last bit happened to me last year . 15.5 hours of drivel and halitosis. ?

Probably out to prove North were so wrong.

That aside from last years poor showing that he really still is the best full forward in the comp like he was in 2019,2018and 2017.

And now he is a team better than North will do even better.

Go bbb.

Looking at the radar is looks like there will be a fair bit of run hitting towards the start of the game.

Hopefully there's lots of run...

    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
