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.

Our mental fortitude and ability to wrest momentum has been the most important development in this team this season. I’m confident we will perform tonight and handle anything the Cats throw at us.

I’m hoping that every WA Demon will be at the game. I hope you bring along as many of the locals as you can to barrack for us as well. I’m prepared to suspend my dislike of West Coast supporters if they are prepared to cheer us along (and boo the Cats) just for this 24 hours.

Low work productivity, high anxiety day coming up

Have disliked Scofield intensely since he dropped Oliver with an 'elbow upper cut' at a break, was reported, appealed and got off.  Media claimed Oliver took a dive.  

I find that article extremely unpleasant and tbh disrespectful.  We were naive on and off the field but what is the point to be dredging that stuff up now.   Chest beating, ra ra by yesterday's heroes.

Like Josh, I too am firing up the smoker today with pork ribs and a leg of lamb on my menu. My nerves are strange. When playing and coaching footy, I had ice running through my veins. Nothing phased me. Cricket was a different matter and I was extremely nervous when waiting to bat. This morning I have some butterflies and need to concentrate on something else other than football until game time.  When the game starts I will be fine. 
 

I think the key tonight is a good start and we can’t afford lapses as per Round 23 hoping to come home hard again. I am concerned about that dog Hawkins and who he will hurt tonight as per Scott’s instructions. Lever? Salem?

Enjoy guys and go Demons!!!

I never paid much attention to Schofield until he popped up in an AFLW commentary team for a Dees v Freo game. I had to mute him. His West Australian bias was ridiculous and general tone was obnoxious. He’s a DH

For those suffering nerves, relax. This game is already won. Geelong cannot beat us.

I rarely feel absolutely confident of a win. Only twice this season, in rounds 16 & 18.

Today I am absolutely confident of a win.

The only way we can lose is if we refuse to kick straight, or become static and fumbly, are second to the ball, get shafted by the umps, get key injuries, or just simply have bad luck.

I’m an emotional wreck. I mean I’ve been in lockdown for like 900 days which isn’t helping, but this is a new level of insanity.

I feel nervous, anxious, teary, excited… 

Thankfully, there's a football match on TV to look forward to. And we're playing!

Might go a WA Chenin blanc and my favourite beer, weisenstaphner pilsner, a bottle of Paxton biodynamic cab sav for the second half and of course a cheese plate will do.

Interesting to see the matching lineups in the papers this morning and probably hypotheticals 

Henry on Fritsch. Fritsch can match him easily in the air but is that what we want?

I don't like Dermot, but respect his forthright opinions. He has Dees winning by 24.

Only one of the above worries me. Wev'e got the rest covered.

Oliver?  Fumbly??

Unlikely in the extreme.

The Manor is out of lockdown today . A clear and favourable omen for a Melbourne victory tonight. Geelong are yesterday's zeroes. 

The biggest danger they pose is carelessly leaving their Zimmer frames lying about and creating a trip hazard for our lads. We'll do them in the midfield to ensure that Hawkins and Cameron are denied the comfortable lead up delivery they thrive on.

At the other end, our small forwards are more likely to take advantage of the hurried entries that will result from final's pressure.

I am well stocked with the nectar of the gods and the maid is preparing her demon themed outfit for the victory celebrations.

    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
