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.

  1. 1. Hypothetically, we lose the Prelim. You've got angry, you've got sad, you've blamed Tmac and Spargo, and perhaps the umpires and coach....Time has passed - in the cold harsh light of objectivity - will you be satisfied with the Season of 2021

That wasn’t the OP’s question. The question is will you be satisfied if we go down in the prelim? You oughtn’t begrudge someone the joy of the incredible journey this season’s been despite not winning the flag.

Many fail, because of the preparation. Habits take alot of time to perfect. Habits lead to addiction and addictions can destroy us, by creating dysfunction and prioritising some behaviours that interfere with things we should be doing.

I would also suggest that high flyers have difficulty adjusting once the razzle dazzle subsides. They were driven to attaining one type of thing and forgot to gain wisdom on how to live contently.

Prepare yourself to deal with failure. 

I have had to do that many times already. 
has never sat well with me. 
Do you think i will be satisfied if Jeelong run out on GF Day?

No i will not. 
I find it quite amazing that someone would post on a supporters website with your attitude.

Of course not. However, you could be a good sportsman and applaud that achievement.

In the least, you should be adjusted enough so that it doesn’t cause you grief.

You also want others to think like you. You give no room for some who don’t need to win everything to be satisfied, as shown by your vomit emoji to me.

Don't take it so seriously kev.

What!

I am a supporter no matter how much you want the MFC to yourself and others like you.

I like my attitude and will defend it. I am free, happy and live comfortably. My attitude has been a major part in creating that for myself.

I don’t "need" to have high achievements in my life to be happy.

See what that demand and expectation is doing to you.

Suggesting I shouldn't post, wow!

Personally I feel sorry for those who will only be satisfied/happy/whatever if we win the big one. Enjoy the ride is what I say. Regardless of the destination, ie., flag or no flag, getting there is always more than half the fun. 

Are you old enough to have enjoyed the '64 flag?

Bit hard on the Suns supporters aren't you?

You lot cannot pick and choose who supports MFC. Though it seems you want to.

I watch the grand final every year regardless. But I’ll be spitting mad seeing Geelong there and would never applaud them. Just like seeing a north there in 1998. That was our grand final and I just know we would have beaten the crows. 
I’ll watch but couldn’t enjoy seeing Geelong or anyone else win yet another one when we’ve been waiting longer than all other teams left.

That’s my 5 cents

I have never met a Suns Supporter tbh

Do they exist? It is merely an AFL Tax Loophole really

The MFC Should be looking to fill the Cupboard with new Cups

Close enough is NOT Good enough 

Anyone can lose. It’s not difficult at all

I don’t need to have cancer to know I wouldn’t like it. 
Anyways, I never claimed to know what winning the flag feels like. What I DO claim to know is how totally wonderful this season has been to date. And indeed, very satisfying. 
PS… then I did get cancer and yeah, I was right: it’s not something I like.

There are about 1.5 million registered AFL players this year.

Suns get a handful of them from a draft of around 200.

They haven't lost! Though according to your logic the majority have.

I believe joy is much more about participating than winning.

Winning is overestimated, the fall from the pedestal can be disastrous. Many never get there, though are content. Can't say the same for the overachievers. Most of our ambition in the world is an illusion, and our place is determined more by the socio-demographics your are born into.

Soz for butting in on a private convo but I saw a Suns fan once so I took a blurry pic and sent it to “Paranormal Caught on Camera.” 😝

If you don't care if your team is first why do you support them? 

Are you one that thinks participating is all that counts, everyone should get a ribbon even if they finish last?

2000 players out of 1.5 million get a chance to achieve at the highest level, 50 win a flag together. The rest of us live vicariously through them.

    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.
