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.

The Cats are a proud group. I expect them to beat GWS convincingly. 

Without McStay and Hipwood the Lions have little HF connection or marking power going forward.  Tag Cameron and they are struggling

I think the dogs have regained some form and will beat the Lions in a thriller.  Don't forget the Dogs were favourites for the flag a fair chunk of the year and are only really missing Bruce

I wouldn’t be at all shocked if the Bulldogs make the Grand Final.

I expect the cats to win comfortably unless Hogan kicks a bag,  and I cant split the lions v dogs.

I can see the dogs getting momentum but I can also see the lions bouncing back against a doggies defence which can be suspect, then get McStay back to play Port and take it to them.

but as people have said lets hope they are grinding affairs and in the prelim we have the physical advantage.

My tips are Geelong to respond after their terrible effort against Port especially with Greene out. Bulldogs too strong for Brisbane especially with McStay out.

You know who I wanna see win tomorrow night?

Injuries. Yep, injuries. Injuries and lottttssss of em. Injuries galore. I want injuries to be BOG. Not life-threatening injuries. Not even career- or season-ending injuries (although I wouldn’t be averse to this happening to certain players 😏). I’d like an even spread of injuries to both sides. Well, maybe a few extra for Geri-long. And apart from the head and the family jewels* no part of the body is immune. 

I want so many injuries that headlines about the carnage are splashed across the front page of every morning newspaper in Australia. 

I want so many injuries that SwampThing will be swamped with requests for stats re the most injuries in a single semifinal. And I want the injuries tally tomorrow night to absolutely blow the current record out of the water. 

So tomorrow night I’ll be yelling at my TV: Go Injuries!!! 

 

Seriously though, I don’t care who wins tomorrow night coz whoever it is, we’ll smash em. 

*Although I can’t speak from experience I’m led to believe this pain is childbirth x 100. Well, blokes carry on as though it is. 😁

I'm not sure about the magnification of childbirth x 100. However there is an argument for childbirth being less painful; I have heard of many women says "lets have another child" and yet never ever heard of any man saying "that was great, how about another kick in the Jatz Crackers".

Hope the cats and giants beat the crap out of each other  

If the Cats make it to a GF with the MFC, they will drop dead mid-game from exhaustion but,  against the Giants, they could put in three good quarters and hang on to a small lead on the scoreboard provided that the umpires render standard procedural assistance and keep the Cats in the game.

Hoping GWS win in a brutal bloodbath. The most important thing is that they smash each other in to oblivion, but I so want the icing on top of Geelong going out in straight sets.

Couldn’t care less about the other game. Neither of them will beat Port so it’s a dead rubber from my perspective.

Geelong being so old is starting to make me think that GWS could be a chance if they run them off their feet.

That reminds me...

Off topic, but speaking of age, did I hear correctly that the side we played in the last round of the season (unchanged for the final) was the second youngest in the league?   😳

Correct

The only name on that list that jumps out at you as not long for this footy world is Tom McDonald (maybe Ben Brown too), and even that is based more on the past than the future.

Good spot to be in.

Bulldogs go in without a recognised ruckman again.

Brisbane for mine

They have for most of the year. If they get their midfield going, they waltz past Brisbane IMV. Unless Cameron, Daniher, Bailey and Zorko go mad, I can't see how Brisbane kick a winning score.

    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
