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.

How important is Ben Brown to our structure. He was immense last night and good to see his goal kicking accuracy improve with the more games he has played with us. 
 

Bet he is happy he made the move from a wooden spooner team to a gf bound one.  

And does he have the longest skinny arms in the whole AFL.

I don't want to gloat, but you should have chosen us, Smith, you [censored].

Isaac Smug - really took a dislike to his smugness in that 2018 final v Hawthorn.  So glad we didn’t get him, though he would struggle to fit in to our structure

He was most definitely choking back in tears.

The footage of him celebrating during the game was one of the best things I've seen.

The way I look at with Lyon is that his opinion is no different to the stuff that's been written on here over the past few years.

There's a realistic chance Gaz could be presenting the cup if we win.

I am happy that Garry is there because none of us can be - here is an icon and is now an avatar for Melbourne fans who have been through more than we should gone through.

He is a tad embarrassed by his opportunity you can see it on his face but I don't care - it was great to watch last night; it was cathartic. Would have hated to have some Perth no name talk to the players after the game asking stupid question-statements.

I hope he has an amazing GF experience - I will be living it through him on TV and through some of you that are WA based.

With games every few weeks NC I have lost track. Sadly I missed the game last night I thought PF's were the week before the GF. Then someone told me it is in Perth this year but we won't be playing a WA team. With the new fangled competition I get lost. Next think I will hear is we beat Geelong by a big margin to make the GF. I remember when footy was easy to follow.

Why is the club sending me strange emails about buttons and messages to the players in Perth so it really is true.

Couldn't sleep much last night. Having watched the replay its difficult to tell how much was us being outstanding and how much was Geelong having a complete shocker. No doubt our pressure was first rate.

It was one of those nights where everything broke our way...the bounce of the ball, the fumbles tended to roll in the direction of one of our players, the snaps at goal and probably the umpiring a bit too.

What i can't work out is how Geelong ended up with 40+ inside 50's. There must have been a lot of very shallow ones. We barely got to see how hampered (or not) May was because he was just hardly ever required to engage in a contest.

We knew the Cats were vulnerable by the game they played last week. 
 

I think they stood very little chance due to fitness, age bracket., bye and game plan. Albeit that alone doesn’t account for an 83 point drubbing - 5-6 goals at best. Last night was the perfect storm of the above PLUS the massive confidence, momentum and self belief this group has right now. Execution wise each player understands and played their role almost flawlessly. That is how I explain thr 83 point win.

The next game will not be as easy as both Port and the Dogs don’t give us the same head start in game plan, age profile etc. it will all boil down to execution and role play.

Has anyone seen that 'Pressure Rating' stat they sometimes show on the broadcast for last night's game? Would be interested to see what those numbers were and how they stack up with other games this year. Would guess Geeling might have had a pretty low rating.

Just dawned on me after seeing this post - did the steeplechaser (Biclavs) play last night?  Don’t remember seeing him.

They should give us the Premiership Cup now. On the form we showed last night I seriously think we are unbeatable. Punters load up!

Geez duckwood is a bucket of puss.

In the third he gives away a 50m and says Langers dived, well he would know all about that as he is the king of it and just continues to whinge and carry on like a spoiled brat. 
 

Then again in the third he puts the knees into Oliver when he was going for a mark then pretends to give a [censored] and helps Oliver up. SUCH A ENTITLED [censored]. 

God I hate Geelong. 

GOD I LOVE THE DEMONS. ❤️💙

    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
