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’m watching the replay. The last minute of the 3rd quarter is as close to absolute pandemonium as you’ll ever see on a football field. It was literally ridiculous. I’m pretty sure i’ll never see anything like that again.

I’m so glad I got to see us play like that in my lifetime. 

This is such a good feeling.

I see a few showing a bit of pity for the Dogs.

They have one of the most detestable players I have ever seen in Liberatore.

He can suck a fat one, with his tough-guy garbage.

Eat [censored] Dogs.

It’s the difference between them and us.

I want to be hated because we have the best team going around not because our supporters start behaving like some of the other teams supporters.

Let the team do our talking

That patch in the 3rd quarter. Go back and look at it again and again. Jackson, Viney, Oliver and Petracca all bullocking, following up, fiercely ball hunting, and sprinting away once we had clear possession. All 4 of them. That is the best midfield footy I have ever seen: BREATHTAKING!! 

But I have to keep coming back to Brayshaw. He remains my favourite player. His endless gut running, taking body hit after body hit, and THAT mark and goal, and for the first time in a long time we clearly saw his skill. 

Gus was massive in the third. Watching the third quarter now without the live emotions and his work rate is off the charts. Couple of crucial spoils back in defence also. Simply an amazing performance.

Apparently he was concussed but not tested according to Heater and Daisy show, but not sure of the reliability of that info. Looking at the event though, it wouldn't surprise.

Need to concussion test anyone watching that show too :roos:

Not disagreeing, but that 3rd Quarter Turn around was Clarry and Trac (and Luke) working together. Without that we don’t win. 
Don’t forget Clarry took a heavy knock early

Also in the middle of that 3rd quarter Viney got the initial clearance to Harmes who then bustled it out to..... well someone*.  And we never looked back from there

I loved Gus’s game but I have also really loved the emotion of his post match interviews. The selflessness and sacrifice of his game on the wing this year is one of the reasons we have gone from a team of champions to a champion team. 

That Gus has sacrificed so much over the last 2 seasons for the sake of the team, and then plays his best individual game of the year in the Grand Final is such a great reward for him.

Does anyone think Bontempellis head high bump on Oliver will get looked at in the 2nd qrtr?

Not as much as Gawn being slung to the ground by Daniel whilst over the boundary line, with Max's head hitting the astroturf.

That said, we should give Daniels a thank you card cos immediately after that play was the beginning of the end with Harmes kick to Fritta! 😄

For a guy who is normally so articulate, his first interview while on the lap was completely incoherent, it was hilarious. His brain was scrambled in the same way mine was. It just added to the moment for me.

I think I've watched Tracs dribbling goal in the 3rd quarter from the pocket a dozen times, not sure if it's because of the sublime disposal, or because of Kozzie's hit on Dunkley... soooo good to watch!

At the end of the third, we goaled at 00:47, 00:30, then 00:17.

That's 30 seconds for 3 goals.

That's just ludicrous and throws Leigh Mathews' 'goal a minute theory' out the window.

JUNK TIME GOALS.

How often has our club given up a goal in the dying stages of a quarter. Almost like clockwork over the decades its happened like a curse proving itself.

This years has been very different and the last three goals in the last minute of the third were the sweetest junk time goals ever.

The dogs looked powerless and we just slammed home not one..not two but THREE in under 60 seconds.

I felt the flag coming home after those.

The best day of my life (never married, had children.) 
Just got home. Last night was amazing. It was like I resorted to childhood again. Spent all night cuddling up to dad. Being all we’ve been through this year it was very emotional. Great that my uncle could experience this as time is running out for him. Can’t wait to visit my brothers once these restrictions end.

Still having trouble digesting this. Seeing our boys in our colours up on the podium with the premiership cup. It still doesn’t feel real.

Junk time is at the end of 4th quarter when 1 team is so far ahead  extra scores dont change result  , red time is at end of 1st three quarters

Yeah fair enough, I was a bit harsh.

I actually like the Dogs. Just can't stand the "poor us" narrative. They are too good a side to go with this garbage. They should be proud, and ditch the us against the world stuff.

And don't feel sorry for them. They will be back at the top end next year also.

The turn around in the last two months to realise our scoring potential has been amazing.. whether that is synergy between the forwards, or something else I am not sure. 

Anyway here are some lovely bits of data or data (depending on how you say it).

The rise in form of Ben Brown has had a lot do with it. Doesn’t need to kick massive bags, but takes so much attention away from the other forwards, brings ball to ground for the crumbers and creates a heap of space by leading to allow us to pick a target. 
Also the amount of goals we’ve kicked from centre clearances via our midfield these past few weeks is insane. Sparrow from 48m? Jackson was 45m?

And people wanted him traded. He is such an important player and a massive part of our on field and off field leadership

    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
