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 look at the round 23 game differently now.

The comments from the peanut gallery were 'you've done nothing', 'the cats took their foot off the gas' etc

But the belief the players got from coming back against the odds at a hoodoo ground coupled with the momentum in the second half were simply breathtaking.

The 3 finals games were a juggernaut because of that momentum and belief.

And now we have a flag, the players know that their sacrifices are worth it, their selflessness is the key, there is nothingthey cannot do, there are no barriers to success any more and if they continue to work the next 5 years could be pretty special.

Go Dees

Surely drew some confidence from the 44 point comeback in that game when we were 19 down in the third quarter of the GF.

That and the Brisbane Round 12 game were huge for us, I think.

Why do so many people in the Media talk as if Footscray lost a close Grand Final?They got Thrashed and Murdered, and had absolutely no answer to what was going on around them. 

I find it staggering

Hi @Deebymistake , would you be able to use your lip reading skills to inform me what was said in the conversation between Goody and Burgess during the third quarter. If you click the link below it will take you right to the moment
 

 

This is a classic.  I wondered the same during the game.  When I slowed it down you can see Goody has a wry smile at what Burgess is saying.  Burgess clearly says towards the end  "Maxy said he is hot".  I wouldn't be surprised if this is Burgess relaying the message from Gawn to leave Jackson in the ruck.    Would make sense.  Burgess is probably saying the rotation is due but "Maxy said he is hot".  The body language shows restrained amusement.  Love it.

I just got done watching Round 23. I hadn’t watched it since before the granny and I gotta say it is infinitely more enjoyable to watch when you know the premiership is ours. ❤️💙

Last night I watched the gf in full (again).
Tomorrow night: prelim. 

Then it’s rinse and repeat ‘til Round 1, 2022. 😁

The GF was amazing to be apart of don't get me wrong it was over and done with quiet quickly in the 4th. 

I got chills down the spine watching Gawny slot the winner back in R23.

Im craving for the boys to make it back to the G.F at the G in 2022 for the club, Vic and NSW Dees sake.

It was a drought breaking Premiership first and foremost the Perth public were amazing and put on a fantastic spectacle no doubt.

Unfortunately there were 3 major elements missing from the win from my standpoint, which i won't elaborate on.

These have been mentioned by the players and will no doubt spur on the boys to make it back to back and cement a legacy for this grand old club.

And on the basis of all that, how great and important and sublime was Jake Lever’s kick to Max! The Kick That Won the Flag.

If you had to sum up his almighty football brain in one incident, that would do it nicely.

We're blessed to have both him and May in the team. Take one out and we probably wouldn't have made it. Take both out and we definitely wouldn't.

Swear to god they held the joint together during the middle of the season.
The forwards weren't doing much but the opposition just couldn't get past May and Lever.

Totally agree. See Sydney, Essendon, even Hawthorn games. 
 

Then Jake produced the offensive kick of the year to Max in round 23. Although maybe Harmes to Fritta tops it. 
 

BTW, has anyone else had the thought that the unarguable turning point of the Grannie, the Harmes steal, was number 4 to number 31 to turn the game, which by jumper number is Norm Smith to Ron Barassi!

This morning I finally found time to sit down and watch some of the footy shows leading up to the grand final and watched the last training session and pressers that was on fox footy. It's funny you are sitting there watching the build up then you think yes we actually did win this. 

Hearing Max talk to Garry just what winning would mean to him and how he just wants it so much. 

The I watched the beginning of On the Couch on the Monday after we won and just seeing Garry back and talking about it and his enjoyment about being involved and then hearing from Goody just made you all happy again.

 Can't believe it was 2 weeks ago.

    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
