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.

It's so incredibly petty, but I love watching the Geelong players' reaction to Gawn's mark.

Stanley tries to blame everyone else when he blatantly couldn't be arsed covering Gawn (or anyone else).

Hawkins pulls his "oh crap" face.

O'Connor asks his teammates the question. Rohan gets angry.

Someone (might have been Rohan) yells "f*cking man up!" at his own teammates.

So petty but so, so enjoyable.

Not petty at all. Not petty enough. They've always seemed a pretty smug outfit to me. And there's no other club that tries to instruct the umpire about free kicks as much as them. Guthrie is a big offender.

44 points down with 6.36 minutes to go in the 3rd quarter.

No team in VFL/AFL history has ever won from there

 

1964-Melbourne Minor Premiers,Melbourne Premiers,Tokyo hosted the Olympics.

Hmmm...

 

 

 

 

Melbourne was 50 points in front of Essendon in an Anzac Day match in the early 1990's. Northey was the coach. They lost.

 I mentioned to my wife at 3qtr time that the last quarter would be 'interesting' based on the appearance, demeanour and body language of the two teams. I didn't expect the magnificent result but was surprised that Geelong where standing and listening to their coach as individuals in a team of champions and we looked like a champion team, huddled together and buying in to what was being addressed by our coach

No one remembers that. Didn't happen. I in particular was not even there.

Nothing exists except Melbourne 2021.

I finished watching the replay about an hour ago. In fact, I only tuned in two times last night. Once at the 27 minute mark of the last quarter when we were 2 points down, then 5 minutes later after they'd won.

Yes, I'm a gutless worrier.

The umpiring was a joke. The Geelong 'handballs', the arbitrary 'in the back' decisions, the deliberate out of bounds decisions, and too many others.

We were, however, lucky that Cameron the the other 'enemy dude' collided...

In the meantime, there was criticism of Fritsch and MacDonald. The latter's 'touch' was off, but I thought Fritsch had a go all night. I liked Sparrow's game as well, and Bowey's. In the meantime, as Jackson matures, he will begin to hold most of the marks he's dropping all too often at the moment.

Listening to commentary on the replay when you know what’s about to happen is just so rewarding. Darcy and Richo saying at 3/4 time that we’ll bounce back next week against Port. I’m just sitting here like…

I heard a couple commentators saying after Geelongs 2nd qr onslaught how great if would be if Hawkins manages to kick 8 for the game to give him the Coleman or something.
 
I'm sittin' there thinking "Forken .... NO."

This image of Hawkins showing how he realised how much they stuffed up is just brilliant.

@Lord Nev i was wrong about smith's role and you were right.

Not even a hint of playing the hunt overlap run role. Ad you suggested he still ran off a bit  but really played as a key tall defender.

Took Rohan, Cameron and even danger at times. Played them all pretty tight too.

He makes me nervous one on one, but to be fair didn't lose many contests.

Beat danger brilliantly on one occasion when he found himself isolated on him (that hit forward along the ground).

He has some toe and physically look different from a couple of years back.

Its an interesting move actually because all the contenders have at least three genuine talle in their forward line, including us.

Smith taking one of them means lever can play his intercept role. 

All just guess work before it happens hey.

He could be a real wild card for us if he keeps it up. Looks visibly quicker off the mark and while he hasn't kicked it a lot since coming back in he seems better in that area (small sample size tho obvs).

Gut feel is he may get first crack at Charlie Cameron this week.

Followed the MFC from grade 2 in 1972 and school photo wearing the old woollen jumper which I still have and experienced all the dark times of the 70s and highs of the late 80s inc lows of 87 prelim, 88 & 2000 GF and the lows after Daniher era, this win would have to be the best ever seen and to see Petracca emotional and saying we are doing this for our supporters! 

 If the footy gods continue to shine that old woollen jumper will come out!

Scott took Dangerfield and Selwood off late in the last qtr.  (I'm guessing to keep them fresh for next week as he said in his press conf he would have liked the pre-finals bye).

It backfired.  With 5 minutes to go they were both stuck on the bench.  The ball was in our fwd line and I was yelling to keep the ball away from the i/change bench.  Not sure when they got back on but they couldn't stop our momentum.  

It looked like Scott had packed up, preserved his 'stars' and readying for next week to be the 'Home' team.  Instead they face Port in their cauldron!!

Own goal!

They also “managed” Higgins at selection, one would hate to see those decisions seeing them go pumped in Adelaide by the SA ferals and out in straight sets… would just hate it..

And topping off the perfect night - No injuries 

What?! We had a few, Pickett’s PC (and ego re Maxi’s captaincy..), Nasher’s larynx, G Yeats hang over, I blew a foofer after Maxi drilled it.

Looks like a bit of a mess, I hope we can get up for next week but it’ll be tight.

What about May’s deliberate in the 1st. Absolute rubbish that hasn’t been paid all season.

Agree, you can only see his intent for it, but to have any control of a fast ball that bounces off the deck and hits the chest, wow.

I don't know about anyone else but every time I watch Max run in to slot that goal last night I still have my heart in my mouth hoping it goes through the big sticks. 

And surreal when it does.

Press the small red button when you record games MT64, it adds 25 mins to program you record, i always do this with any live AFL game, its saved me a few times from missing end of match

Is it only me or do others get the same amount of joy that I do hearing the crowd roar and howl  in an empty stadium on Fox Footy?

 

I suppose we should be grateful that they didn’t press the wrong button and put on canned laughter instead

The canned laughter should have been played when Cameron and Henderson collided ...either that or the Benny Hill music.

    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
