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.

I think it's near-certain we'll be playing on Saturday night next week. Presumably at the Adelaide Oval but not sure of venue yet.

Saturday night makes sense - we get the extra day off (Geelong get the 6-day break into the Port game), and they can play 5 v 8 on the Sunday which means that winner, and the winner of Sydney v GWS on Saturday afternoon, gets a six-day break into the semis.

Feeling blessed to be able to be there on Saturday night with my Wife, and 2 fanatical kids 🙏 Ticketek is a tough site to navigate when it comes to AFL games but managed to get some amazing seats

I will give it my best effort supporting the Mighty MFC on saturday night. For me as a kid if you wanted to play in the biggest sporting events it was always at the MCG first and foremost. B

Can we nominate Traeger Park for our home final? We tend to play well there, it would be a great way to celebrate our work with the community and we could potentially earn the $800k we lost earlier this year from the NT Government.

Not one of the 'sterile corridors' allegedly. Would have to be played in either SA, WA, tassie or Queensland

So as it stands week 1 will be this.

 

QF 1. Melbourne vs Brisbane

QF 2. Port Adel vs Geelong

 

EL 1. Bulldogs vs Essendon/Freo

EL 2. Sydney vs GWS

 

If we win we'll go into Preliminary final 1 and will meet one of Sydney, GWS, Port or Geelong

Lose and we will be in Semi Final 1 and will meet the winner of Bulldogs vs Essendon/Freo

I find it interesting that Tassie are considered an option. Who would actually willingly want to play there? If Tassie are an option than Alice should be as well. 

But I reckon Adelaide will be the best option, make Brisbane travel and we play AO quite well. Still in disbelief that we’re in this situation. Firstly that we’re top of the ladder at the end of the H&A season, and secondly that finally having achieved this we don’t get our earned advantage.

Expecting we will win next week but to come up against the Dogs if we lose would be at least a little uncomfortable.

Make them travel to Adel,Bris to Alice shorter trip.

The extra day is huge, i had succumbed to playing the Powa on Friday Night but this club has got stones the size of lemons and earn't themselves an extra day.

Massive developments for the lads, club and supporters.

I'm just trying not to be too upset about the fact that I may not get to see live the event I've dreamed about for the best part of 47 years (I'm 53).

It’s bittersweet not being able to see our beloved team in the finals after being long suffering. I’d go anywhere to watch them but it doesn’t look like the various state governments will let us in.

I was there in 88 and 00. With that record, and if tonight's experience is anything to go by, I'll be quite content, thank you, with a stay-away, live-on-telly premiership 😉

Should we win next week against the Lions, then Port at Optus Oval would be my bet. Geelong were fearsome, and I pity any of their opponents in the next couple of weeks.

What's wrong with playing our first final at the G??  We've earned that right.  Why has everyone caved and pandering so easily to the AFL's interstate nonsense?

If we win that one we should also be getting our Prelim here. 

And from there IF we get through we then talk about where the GF is played where you would of course prefer a BIG crowd.

We've thoroughly earned this choice.

Eddie/Jeffrey/Kochy would all be blowing a gasket at the mere mention if they finished on top.

Happy to stand corrected but appears to me we might have conceded already?

What sort of crowd will they get in Adelaide for Melb v Bris? Surely if it's less than 10k there's no argument to move it

So we can choose a Tassie venue, interesting. I like the idea of us choosing Hobart.
 

Over thinking it I’m sure but longest trip for Brissy (ruling Perth out as I don’t think that is an option we’d take), BBB goes well there, we’ve played a few games there in the last few years including a win this year, only the 1 win but we’re not playing North (lols) and Brissy doesn’t have a great record in Tassie.

Hasn’t the NT come out and said that you need a special permit to quarantine in that state, if coming from a hot spot, and VIC is a steaming hot spot at the moment.

Not sure attending a grand final would get you that special permit??

The AFL is praying Ess gets in without Hawks, Pies, Tigs, Eagles and Crows. Less so this year from a revenue/bums on seats perspective but they want the big clubs in every year. Glad for a shake up this year.

Reckon the first three are right. No finals in Perth for the first few weeks because of the quarantine

    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.
