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.

Well the Dees are doing one thing well. No whinging about fixture changes Inspite of the large financial losses. We are  just get on with it. We are now living in an era never seen in modern times. The likes of Scott make me anger.

Surely we can’t be so lucky as to play them at Marvel in dry conditions.  My MFCSS says we will play them in Horsham in a lightening storm and BB’s hair will catch on fire.

I don't get the angst about the venue and the travel/disruption. Does the venue really matter? And regarding disruptions we have had a dream run so far this year:  5 i/state trips of 1 hr ea

We will be playing this game on the Gold Coast, then we will fly direct to Perth and quarantine for 7 days before playing WC at Optus. We need to win both, please!

The only thing that would make Scott happy would be all 22 H&A matches + finals in Geelong. The guy cannot help himself.

The free ride from the umpires for the dogs has been happening for many, many years, complaining about it is not going to make any difference.

Spot on the dogs know what they can do and use it. We are too nice in this area and play by the rules. Our coaching leaves a bit to be desired on this area. I don't believe it cost us the game just made the dogs score a a goal or two higher.

Not sure the coaches can do anything about it, it is up to the umpires to apply the rules evenly to both sides at all times.

From ABC Website:

Gutwein on the AFL: Mask up, buttercups!

Yeah, look, he didn't phrase it in that exact way, but he did say that masks would be mandatory at this weekend's AFL matches.

The North Melbourne vs Geelong AFL match at Blundstone arena on Saturday will proceed, as will the Hawthorn vs Brisbane Lions at UTAS Stadium on Sunday.

Mr Gutwein said the "onus is on the fans" to bring their own mask for use at the game.

Up to 10,000 seated spectators will be allowed at each match.

 

With Brisbane going to Tassie presumably because they can't get back into Qld without quarantine means we won't be playing in Qld either.  Anybody's guess where we will end up.  1st pref is Vic but could NT open the doors in time...really hope not.

ItsaHawks scheduled home game really nothing to do with Lions .going home to quarantine.

No he would complain 4 games a year are played in the wet and the dome of death home teams have an advantage.

Serious question why? 

So that we don't have to fly to Queensland and then fly again to WA?

So that we can avoid playing against an opposition's home crowd?

So that we can play at Marvel, where we're we've won 8 of our last 10?

Plenty of reasons to think about, at least if you haven't already given up on the season.

Yes forgot about the trip to WA. Do the sun's have a home crowd of any size? I have to say I have no idea. MY view on where the game is played relates to one thing. If there are no crowds allowed  I don't care where the game is played. I would rather the sun's supporters see a live game than have it in Melbourne in front of no one. If that puts us at a disadvantage so be it.

What about their cheer squad singing "Nah-nah-nah-nah Nah-nah-nah-nah hey-hey Goodbye" when they defeated Richmond recently that was GOLD.

You couldn't script that luck.

As mentioned before I expect our CEO to have negotiated for Melbourne to receive half the proceeds if this game is in Darwin, due to:

a) Losing our contract for the Alice Springs game in June.

b) Being the bunnies that have to cop a Darwin game whilst we're in a critical phase of our season.

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    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.
