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.

neither of those sides are on top of the ladder 

Have a look at their membership no ‘s …I was at the game today & considering GWS have no supporters..not a bad turn out. It was pretty hard to get excited with the quality of football we were playing …at least we didn’t sook it up like ESS

The crowd that was there was far from the reason why we lost today, you try cheering hard when the boys are serving up poop on a platter. When the game was there to be won and the team pulled their collective fingers out and started to have a crack, it didn’t sound like an empty stadium in the dead of winter… except when GWS scored a goal. 

It was bitterly cold and yet very, very few of the attendees got up and left. 

Close thread, what a disgrace

Mark Williams was literally asking the crowd to make noise at 3 qtr time. If you could've come and you didn't, you have no grounds to criticise. 

All the best. 

If my grandmother had wheels instead of legs, she'd be a bicycle.

"Ifs" are great, but we had a team that didn't turn up until half time.  That's a poorly coached side.  We've now lost 2 out of the last 3, and those against teams that aren't in the top 4. The team looks tired and lackluster. We have a short break now before playing Port, and will get royally touched up if we put in another performance like this.

It isn't up to the supporters to get the #1 team over the line against a team that drew with North and lost to Hawthorn. The team needs to get itself up (as GWS did).  The first half non-appearance was a disgrace. Any team that needs the fans to paper over their lack of commitment in a half of a game doesn't deserve those fans.

I’m only just now getting feeling back in my extremities. My fingers and toes didn’t know what hit them. The last thing I wanna read right now is someone shaming fans who didn’t go today, as well as the fans who were there but apparently not making enough noise. So yeah, seemingly all fans. 
This thread is a waste of space and ought to be closed.

Well, not a bicycle. More like the bicycle version of a centaur or Minotaur. A cycletaur, if you will. ?

Silly reply, I know. But this is a silly thread so, whatevs.

Given the top tier was closed off, I could have sworn there was at least 20k there today. Bizarre really to see 16k flash up on the screen. And as usual, we were loud for the amount that was there.

Hard to make noise when they are sending us to sleep. First half felt like watching paint dry.

This club is a hard one to turn up for when you enjoy watching good competitive sport where 2 teams go at it trying to win. Lots of fans are accustomed to the Demons picking and choosing when they'll have a crack...and many probably suspected today was going to be one of those days where the players couldn't be bothered...and they were right.

We have had so many years of the results being worse than they should have been, based purely on inconsistent effort, it'll take 3+ years of consistent effort from the players before supporters will attend consistently.

Singin' my song man.
Posted in a thread the other day how attending a game is a 700k round trip for me.
I've turned up plenty of times when the players haven't.
Gets old and makes the drive home real long.
Have found if I stay home and watch on TV and we're stinking it up I can go out the backyard with the radio and not waste all my day.

I've also seen plenty of games where our crowd is very quiet early only to rouse late game.
By product of watching us capitulate too often I reckon.
Wish it wasn't like that but it is.
I said to my young bloke one game "Gets loud doesn't it."
"Yeah, but it's always the other team." was his reply.
Broke my heart.

Saving grace was taking the kids to see us in the finals in '19 with huge pro Melbourne crowds.
Hannan kicking his goal right infront of us was off the richter scale.
Cherished memories.

"Melbourne fans breath it in." ❤️

we're the top side on the ladder and we had 16k there. Made no noise for 3 quarters. 
Congratulations on seeing it all 

We were stunned by the lack of intensity and pressure by the so-called top team. They played like under 12s.

What a ridiculous thing to say.

We can all scoff but the big clubs know a big loud supporter base is like having a 2-3 goal tail wind.

Jesus H! What a load of [censored]. Crowds don’t win games, footballers do. I guess the games that have been won and lost during no crowd COVID shouldn’t count then?

Unfortunately covid makes it impossible to just turn up and a lot of older people who aren’t tech savvy find it too hard these days. 
We tried to get a group of friends to go but found it very hard to organize seats in n the same area . 
I went with my son but it would have been 5 or six of us if we were just allowed to rock up.

    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
