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.


POSTGAME: GRAND FINAL vs Western Bulldogs

Recommended Posts

The only thing that we did not get was beating the Magpies this year which in the overall scheme of thing is not much but shoving it up Eddie McGuire and Jeremy Howe.

Although Howe would be envious of his contemporaries like Viney McDonald and Gawn who stayed the course to attain the ultimate prize in team football the premiership and the players will cherish this more in the future.

The envy of being a premiership player is not lost on some of the MFC greats like Flower Lyon Jones Jetta Yze White Wight Stynes and Neitz.

I have to admit, I couldn’t believe Binman’s 47 point win tip and was very skeptical. Not that we wouldn’t win, but by such a large margin. Hats off to you @binman. You had the analysis and the belief!

I was so certain of this game. How the Doggies with Martin/English were meant to compete defies logic. So it panned out. The Dogs as predicted got most of their centre clearances from the defensive side where ours well blitzkrieg. Another prediction that was spot on was who would kick Doggies goals when Naughton failed. The answer no one. My only surprise is how we got 19 points behind but the brilliance of Bont and Treloar. Not that it mattered made the turn around so much sweeter. I tipped a 57 point victory with a 39.5 plus margin at $5.70. The rhythm of 57 was a massive omen thanks Nom. A massive cash injection coupled with enormous relief at jagging the cup. Watched the game in Arlie Beach and I’m sure I spotted a delirious Demonlander with a white signed alternate strip. Noice!

@Premiers if there was a 'You're welcome' reaction I would have done it :)

Thank you.

I have a curiosity question.  May I ask why you prefer Lucifer's Hero to Premiers?

@binmanis THE ORACLE and had actually nailed the exact winning margin until his Dyscalculia kicked in.

Choco was rather coy about what he whispered to Petracca; it sounded a bit like he was appealing to Petracca's ego.  It worked!!

As you say he got the first clearance.  Then he looked unstoppable.  The next time we saw a close up of him (for a fraction of a second somewhere in the 2 Fritsch, Brown and Brayshaw goals sequence) he wore a fierce expression.  He didn't look satisfied with that handful of goals.  Then he went on a rampage.

Just shows what having coaches on the bench can do.  It is unlikely Choco's message coming thru headphones would have had the same affect.

Apologies for quoting myself.  I just wanted to elaborate on the above. 

The Choco interview I was referring to is in this.  what-chocco-said-to-trac?  Choco's reflection on his 'whispering' to Petracca is in this article and starts @ 3.20.  Love Choco's cheeky expression when asked the question.

This is the fierce expression I'm referring to in the above post.  We then kicked 3 goals in less than a minute.  it was not long after Choco's 'whispering'.

Thanks to @Chookfor posting it in the favourite GF thread.

We certainly did crunch McCrae early.  And they say when you play against your old side you quickly find out who didn't like you. Hello Mitch Hannan.

Goodwin acknowledged this on On The Couch last night. Conceded that moving him to the wing/half-back was a mistake of his. Said it in a bit of jest, but I'm sure he agrees it was a failure of an idea when we did it.

l suspect there were 2 main reasons he played back: to plug a whole as we lacked good kicks back there, and also we wanted him to get am appreciation of the defensive aspects of the game before he inevitably moves forward

They can have it, they had to use their creative control card to win it anyway by sacking a long term favourite son coach. You only get 1.

First post since GF morning. What a few days eh. Still over the moon. I’ve feasted on the replay, the post game on 7 and fox , every sports program I could and read every post in this thread over the past few days. My voice is almost back to 100%. 
How good is it when sport becomes much more than just a game and gives you a moment like this. A moment that you will always be able to cast your mind back to and bring a smile to your face. 

Im so happy for all ye die hards on demonland that are  more invested and long suffering than I am. Respect and joy to you all.  Go Dees. 

Yep, agree. We have had good runs in finals before and punched above our weight in those seasons, but they are always tainted slightly by the knowledge we didn't finish the job ... not this time!!!

Just saw it now, thought he was a bit hard on himself even if he was joking a bit because he was a versatile player and when Lever went down in 2018 he did sort of help with filling the hole back there but he’s simply a better forward.

He should have listened to Demonland. Hopefully he has learned his lesson.

Is anyone else sick of the narrative that dogs were "1 goal away from breaking Melbourne"  ?  I am.  Some nerves, yes, but Melbourne has shown several times throughouit 2021 that they can respond from further down than 4 goals.  We are premiers and it shouldnt worry me I know but logic says 4 goals down halfway through the 3rd would by no means "break"  this side.

    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
