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.


BULLDOGS SUPPORTERS - Who are they?

Never been so excited you go tops off? 
 

I live in Footscray and I've seen like two in the last year on the streets, but then again I don't leave my house much with that whole stay at home order covid thing. 

I have three friends that are dogs fans around my age and they are ok. Only seen the one flag, got a little lippy but nothing untoward like richmond fans. they got put back in there place pretty quickly. 

Footscray is basically token Western Suburbs these days given the gentrification. Out here in the boonies, Melton & Bacchus Marsh WB heartland, that's where you'll find toothless/shoeless doggies fans. Doug Hawkins lives just around the corner from me and I see him regularly grabbing a coffee.

So much to unpack. But I’m most curious about the budgie. When you say he went to “budgie paradise” is that the same as when parents tell their children that their pet dog went to live on “a farm”???

Budgie Paradise is the wide blue sky and freedom from that smelly little cage.

My great aunt was a long time Bulldogs fan who lived in Yarraville well before the yuppies and hipsters moved in. Incredibly genuine lady who was one of the sweetest people you would meet.

Though I do remember once dropping into the Whitten Oval complex once to inquire about finding a casual basketball team to play with (while mindlessly wearing my MFC members cap). The frostbite I got at reception nearly numbed my extremities to the point of them dropping off. However, I have no one to blame but myself! 😄

Kellie Underwood started by calling Geelong the oldest club in the competition (maybe she was talking about the players?)

And then trotted out the grand final match up between the working class Bulldogs and the Melbourne inner city elite.

this fifty year old stereotyping drives me nuts.

Don't worry about her.   She's from Geelong and knows nothing about any other teams in the comp. She's complete garbage

Only ever met one and that was through work. Good guy and was very humble following 2016 and had a soft spot for the Dees.

I think they’re pretty tolerable but there are some absolute nuffies on social media I see always posting 🐶🐶🐶 and blindly think they’ll always win because it doesn’t matter who the opposition are, the Dogs can beat anyone on their day with their spirit. Bevo (not Luke Beveridge, but the guy who does the Bev show) is one of the worst.

Oh and Stevo (Mark Stevens) is insufferable. Most one eyed Dogs supporter you’ll see.

Disease riddled filth dragging the whole state into lockdown.

I only know one Bulldogs supporter to be fair, guy from an old workplace. Friendly enough, but an absolute train wreck of a person. Amazed he’s still employed, sent home from work for being drunk at one stage a few years ago. This is an office job too, so legit basket case type stuff. Old work friend sent me a screenshot of a recent post the bloke made on Facebook about covid being a government hoax to take control of us and inject us with tracking beacons etc. He sums up the Bulldogs for me. My most hated team in the league by some way. Disgusting.

Gee whizzz! How do you really feel about them? Some are most civil with a social and interpersonal grace.

I once met a Dogs supporter (honestly the only one I've ever met that I'm aware of). It was in the park when I was having a kick in 2004. He told me the Essendon 2000 side should have been a dynasty.

I told him there can only be one dynasty at a time, and it was a pity (not really) the lions existed.

I played cricket at the Yarraville Ground once. I played for Sunshine. I had a strong arm in those days - it is now, alas, a noodle - and I recall before a game after we had warmed up, I threw a ball towards the grandstand/dressing room and the ball flew over the fence and nearly killed a spectator.

Outdated rubbish that twats with a chip on their shoulder trot out to try and get a rise out of Melbourne supporters! 
I work at an iron ore mine in North West Tasmania. Middle of winter, there wouldn’t be a much tougher work place!

No doggy supporters where I work, but there is 1 other Melbourne supporter.

I regret I have to say that the only two Dogs supporters I've known personally are both excellent. Very different, too. One is a properly sophisticated yet unpretentious intellectual who really should be a Demon based on stereotypes. The other was in that brilliant category of 'first in the family to get a degree/office career' and was proudly committed to doing it well at the same time as being equally committed to taking the [censored] out of the entire system.

I can't hate them, but I still want to crush them.

I don’t know any Bulldogs supporters.  (I remember a boy in primary school barracking for Footscray. That was in 1957 and I haven’t seen or heard of him since 1962.)
Who are these Bulldogs supporters? And what are they like?

Feel free to exercise all your favourite cliches and biases in an effort to enlighten me.

I was thinking exactly the same thing last week that I have never met a dogs supporter.

I know at least five. A true daughter of the West, brought up in Sunshine, and her father an electrician. A teacher. A psychiatrist. A barrister. They are all good people, but in some cases I wonder if there’s an element of virtue signalling.

At least you know that they’re not one of those tossers who support a traditionally strong team because they want to be a ‘winner’.

Some of them are filth! The first game I ever took my son to at the Etihad/Marvel a Bulldogs supporter king hit a Demons supporter much older than him, over a petty argument that had been started by his drunkenness. I asked him to leave the family area and he refused, in the minutes leading up to his cowardly punch. After their scummy attack on our Demons shrine in their territory, I want to bury the bastards in the Grand Final!

I'm sorry to hear that @Thehardtackler, that's a horrible experience. I hope that's he was a rare rotten apple. Personally I haven't met a bad Bulldogs supporter (yet).

I didn't like what the Dogs did re their membership packages following their last flag. All prices rose and members got less for their money eg home games became 7 Docklands- no MCG and no Ballarat. Two of my mates dropped a tier or two in protest. Tigers did something similar a year later. As did the Cats in 2012. I sincerely hope the MFC doesn't pull such a stunt should we win. I very much doubt it.

Aside: I asked Brian Cook why, in 2012, the Cats removed KPark from my H&A Dees membership. He didn't have an answer.

    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
