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 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

He was on Perth radio the other day saying he’s returned to his childhood and gone back to being a Cats supporter, because he was only a West Coast player and never a supporter. Since he’s stopped playing he’s returned to being a boy from Geelong 

Shows you his logic

 Clarry has been getting lots of media attention due to his great late season form, and he destroyed them a few weeks ago. They’ll put more effort into him tonight

This reminds me of a famous quote from James Hird.

Once after another excellent game he was asked who was tagging him?

he replied - " Don't know - did I have a tag..?  "

He wasn't being smart - just had no awareness of taggers and played his usual game.

That's Clarry. Out of control tonight, again.

Inspired by some of the earlier comments in this thread still uncertain what beverage will help me through the game tonight.

Luckily I live right near a Dan Murphys .

Imagine if it is anything like the last time we played them I will spend the last quarter not drinking and just pacing around the room either way aha

Less than nine hours to go.

This to fill in eight mins..

I wonder how much the teams have changed.

 

The teams have changed substantially since then. For both, only 12 from that night are playing.

Our team was:

FB: Jetta, O McDonald, Lewis
HB: Salem, Frost, Hibberd
C: vandenBerg, Oliver, Harmes
HF: Melksham, T McDonald, Brayshaw
FF: Hannan, Weideman, Neal-Bullen
F: Gawn, Jones, Petracca
I: Viney, Spargo, Tyson, Fritsch

Their team was:

FB: Kolodjashnij, Henderson, Stewart
HB: Bews, Taylor, Tuohy
C: Blicavs, J Selwood, S Selwood
HF: Menegola, Ablett, Kelly
FF: Parfitt, Hawkins, Henry
F: Abbott, Dangerfield, Duncan
I: Menzel, Murdoch, C Guthrie, O'Connor

Although they'd be at 15 if they could, as they'd be playing Stewart, Parfitt and O'Connor if they were fit.

Big game needed from Trac and the midfield tonight. Clarry has been getting lots of media attention due to his great late season form, and he destroyed them a few weeks ago. They’ll put more effort into him tonight, so we need others to break the game open. Perfect night for Trac to regain his most damaging form and kick a few goals.

He put on a clinic last time they met.

Its interesting Trac is always touted as the star because I really think it is usually Oliver who does the most damage.

In the last final against cats in 2018...Viney played a ripper.

I believe our midfield will dominate tonight.

Thanks very much for this Titan.

Melkshams 2018 form was terriffic. Weid was firing then too but Id take bbb over him.

Anb and Fritta most improved.

Jackson and Kozzie the wow factor.

Trac and Oliver have gone to a new level.

Jetta and Lewis probably the biggest outs but with May, Rivers and Lever...

Our backline is so much better.

The new matrix trailer has dropped today for anyone needing a distraction.

 

Ta.

A couple of weeks back i decided to watch Matrix. I hadn't seen it since its release. Has held up remarkably well, both in terms of its story (simple and classic sc fi), design and use of CGI.

Often films from that period (2000s) that use CGI look incredibly dated but Matrix still look amazing. In part becuase they stayed simple, and of course used the classic king fu movies cables so well for the fight scenes

I then watched the second one - Matrix Revolutions. It was better than i remembered it being, albeit over the top visually and the story getting too convoluted and operatic. And the CGI did look a bit dated

Being a completist, and in preparation for Resurrections,  I thought i might as well watch the third in the series - Matrix Reloaded, a film i have never seen. Simply awful. The story is a complete mess, it is padded out with horrible action sequences, the CGI is impenetrable and the sound design almost gave me an aneurism.

And to top it off, i had forgotten it (and the second one) was filmed in Sydney at Fox studios. So the b grade Aussie actors that pop up in it kept distracting me.

As sci fi fan i'm looking forward to  Matrix Resurrections - but i I hope it is a return to form.

I've gone for Furphy as they're a club sponsor, feels appropriate. I think I'll go through them like water tonight!

Just chatting to the Geelong fan behind the console at my servo who not only doesn't fancy their chances but has also heard that there's a tummy bug going through the Cats. 

I'd take that with a huge grain of salt, but I wouldn't be upset if his mail is accurate.

Went out and grabbed some lunch yesterday and the guy behind the counter always wants to talk about the Dees (think he’s a blues man), he’s really pumped for us to get a flag but the funny thing was the other lady he was serving us a Cats fan. She said she really wanted us to win the flag, it was amazing.

    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
