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 12 vs Brisbane



Recommended Posts

It feels like weeks since we played the dogs.  lockdown/homeschooling days age me considerably

50-50 game for me. The Lions are building over the past few years. They have a fwd that will test us more than any other with McStay, Hipwood, Daniher, Cameron, McCarthy, Bailey. It will be tough for Lever to stay loose

Mcluggage is a gun who I love watching. Aside from being a horrible kick for goal that is. We need to watch him closely

hopefully it is a final type contested game and we see our guns flex their muscles

i reckon we have them covered just and we will win in a cracker by 2 points. The Weed kicking one after the siren. Western Sydney will explode with excitement

It's going to be wet.  It is going to be cold. Our seats won't be fully under cover and Giants Stadium gets it's own little wind swirl because of the open end. It'll be great.

I'm a bit excited.  The last time I was able to attend a Demon's game in person was 2016.

Paul Roos was coach, and Jack Watts had a great game even though his shoe kept falling off.

More than half the 22 out there tonight are 'new' since then.

Also a bonus that I'm now part of a fully vaccinated household so won't be quite so disturbed by the shoulder-to-shoulder seating.

Ticketmaster had very few seats still available as of last night so it would seem to be close to a full house. We'll see what that really means once the storm front comes in and all the soft Sydneysiders wimp out!

Really interesting game. Melb defensive system v's Bris attack.

Melb has only conceded more than  73 points once this season,  96 points to Adel being the outlier

Bris has kicked scores of 102, 103, 93, 95, 124, 102 and 129 the last 7 weeks.

If we can keep them below 80 points I reckon we'll win.

Eh, that is some serious firepower. What has been the differential, ie how many have they let through. All well and good to kick 102 but if you let 98 in...

Edit: from The Roar

Quote

For the Lions, they have been unstoppable over the last seven weeks, winning every game with an incredible percentage of 171.95, knocking off teams like Richmond, Port Adelaide, GWS and Essendon along the way.

Agree on last point. Reckon the back 6 are going to be hellbent on that. Lever took it as a personal affront that Adelaide scored so highly. Love it.

Shout out to all the DLers in Sydney who wouldn’t ordinarily have been attending tonight’s game. I’m happy for you guys. It’s easy for us Vics to forget how lucky we are as regards how often we get to watch our beloved Dees live. 
Enjoy the match!! And maybe give an extra loud cheer on our behalf. 
GO DEEEEES!!!

❤️?

Thank you WCW. It’s my first live game in years and taking my son. So looking forward to it.  Beautiful sunny morning here but bloody rain forecast for the evening. Won’t dampen my spirits though.

Im waiting for kozzie to tear a game apart. He has the skills. He is a star in the making.

Maybe he will do it tonight.

Go Dees.

Was his game against St Kilda or GWS not good enough?

They had no one who could stop him in both games..

Probably our toughest assignment to date. Richmond and Dogs were big games but played on grounds we are comfortable and familiar with. This is a different ball game. 
I rate Brisbane as our equal. They are strong all over the field unlike the Dogs and can kick big scores. I’m not super confident and wouldn’t be surprised if we drop this one. 
Should we lose, we will be pretty much back in the pack for top 4. Saving grace is Geelong play Port in Adelaide (probably) next week. 
 

One thing is for sure, this should be a good game. 

Love this. The first five words are absolute, followed by the next six which equivocate. So, Jaded, are you sure or not?

I expect it to be one of the best games of the season, and I don't mean one of the best that we've been involved in. I don't want it to be so, but I think Brisbane will win.

I cant find the stat ATM, but the Lions mostly get away to to great start in the 1st qtr. This is what the Dogs relied on last week as we had been seen as catching up during the games and our fitness outlasting oppositions, but we jumped them instead in the 1st which stuffed their tactics. So we need to stick with Brisbane in what may be an unbelievably torrid 1st quarter tonight.

McCluggage and Robinson are the 2 to stop in my opinion. They lift the others around them.

    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
