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.


Local media pundits not taking MFC as a serious threat.

Well after that game   we are serious, did not expect that, we controlled the game at least 80%, great performance.  It might be time to believe...... 

 

and when I watch I  twitch and jump and brace for all the bumps,   the dog hates TV, me and football.

Your problem  is not uncommon. I tend to walk around the room while the game is on. Drives my wife nuts. Early comment before she went to bed was “ when are you going back to watch to watching games live.? We have been known to sit in different rooms watching the same game. I really don’t like watching my team on TV. 

That’s me 100%! I have actually been banished to my bedroom to watch our matches. The fam don’t get into footy at all so they don’t understand. All good, I sorta don’t blame them. I have trouble keeping my inner foul-mouthed, belligerent bogan alter-ego on a leash when we’re playing. 
PS: the tv in the bedroom was a small, old, crappy one. They wondered why I didn’t protest to be sent in there to watch matches on it. Then Mr StarTrack turned up with my brand new 55 inch TV and the mystery was solved. ?

I can’t watch live matches. I get far too stressed, not good for the pump!!

I follow scores and go for a walk Watch replays later. 
Going to games is a completely different experience.

Yeah, idk why I put myself through the stress of watching the game live on TV. But as you said, totally different experience being at the game. Thank god we don’t carry on at the game the way we do when watching at home. ?

Have become the same SWYL. Going to the match, no problem. Watching on TV, particularly interstate, tough ask. And when I do watch, the family watch me to witness assorted mannerisms.

I think it’s because we have absolutely no effects on the game, regardless of WHATEVER we do watching the TV. 

At the Game you feel part of it. 
 

I can watch a game happily with mates at the Pub, but sitting at home on my own, nope. Far too stressful!!!

Respect.

I wouldn't watch a replay of a game if I knew beforehand that it was a loss.

 

I will watch sections occasionally, but never a full loss. I leave that to The Football Department, they are being paid!!

Just a shout out to the following: hopeful demon, Dante, Flashinthepan, pollyanna, Drysdale demon, dr.gonzo, AmDamDemon, Garbo, John Crow Batty, Click-bate, Jaded, whatwhatsaywhat, titan uranus and superunknown. 

I  told you all! This is exactly WHY I feel the way I feel. Completely justified by thinking we won't make top 4 and now just wait for all the media to follow Dr.D and start talking about our chances of coming 5th. Hopefully now you can put your complete blind faith aside and be impartial and see the Mac for what we are. A team that you CAN NOT TRUST.  Go back into your little hole and justify to yourselves all the excuses you can come up with as to why we lost that game. We have lost to 3 poor teams this year with EVERYTHING TO PLAY FOR. (top 4). We have come out flat in most first halves this year and our goal kicking continues to screw us over.  This is yet another example of me going against the grain of popular opinion, analysing our form, our matchups and stating with a high confidence that we won't make top 4.  Feel free to PM your personal apologies. 

Kudos to Roy11 and Cyb for agreeing with my sentiments.

Sorry, what was that?

No complaints here. Let them pump up 4th 5th and 6th. 
 

Swans are the hot side at the moment. Fact of the matter is. They won’t be playing any finals at the SCG or GMHBA (which they’ll try to request) & if they don’t make the 4 they aren’t scaring anyone.

Oh, did we not lose to GWS?

Now we are a 50/50 for 4th spot alongside Port. The highest  % gets in. Assuming we beat hawks and Gold Coast.

50/50?

We could afford to lose 2 games and still finish 4th. We beat the Hawks & Suns (danger game in Darwin) we’ll be finishing top 2!!

You said we'd lose to Essendon. Wrong.

You said we'd beat GWS. Wrong.

You said we'd lose to Port. Wrong.

Now you're saying we're 50/50% for 4th. That can only be correct at this point if you think we are going to go 2-4 from here. If that s indeed what you think, maybe stop and reflect on the first three sentences above and take some solace in your unerring ability to be wrong.

Yes, we can lose 2 but not 3. If we lose to Geelong, dogs and WCE in Perth (which is a big possibility) then we will finish on 64 points. I have Port winning 5 of the last 6 and beating Coll, GWS, stk, Carlton and Adelaide which means we tie on points. 

Yes, they could lose to stkilda but no more than we could lose to Hawks or GC.

    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
