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.

Rn I’m watching the second half of the prelim again coz… why not? I was just thinking about how the word ‘legend’ gets bandied around a lot. So much so that it’s kind of lost its potency. But… Maxy Gawn. I mean seriously, from the winner after the siren in Rd 23 through the prelim with his five goal haul and on to captain the Mighty Dees to an historic Premiership victory. This is the stuff of folklore. 
MINSTRELS WILL WRITE SONGS ABOUT HIM!

🏆❤️💙😁❤️💙🏆

Ha ha! Why not? I'll have a go (after thinking that to play like he did all year is like winning a marathon, and about what a cunning bu&%#ger the big boy is)

How did he win the marathon

Maxy Maxy Maxy?

He floated to the back of the field

And jumped into a taxi.

Please, there’s no need to panic. This is not as bad as it looks. At least, that’s what the medicos will tell Tracc, similar to how they didn’t tell Maysie how bad his hammy tear was. So, rather than “decapitated” let’s say he’s “incapacitated.” Obviously his preseason will look a little different but from all accounts he should be cherry ripe by Rd 1 of season 2022.

I read yesterday Alan Richardson was driving around with the cup & if he saw a painted red & blue fence he'd pop in with the cup.

I hope at some point they have popped into Neale's house

Yeah i heard he'd been doing some dropins. He must live nearby as I often see him at one of my favourite cafes early in the morning. I'll have to hit him up to see if he still has it with him 😄

The third quarter still brings a tear to the eye.

Has anyone seen a different angle to Frittas first goal in the third?  Off the boot it looks like it is going through for a point.

I went to a function the other night and was lucky to be sitting next to Jack Viney and I asked him who , apart from Melbourne, were the best teams and he said Footscray were and they were about on a par with Geelong. He said the two best teams played off in the GF.

He didn't rate Port and said they were there because of a soft draw and felt we had the Lions measure, I didn't ask them of the other teams but I got the impression that apart from ourselves, the Bullies and the Cats, the rest were just making up the numbers.

Has anyone gone back to re read the game day thread after the bont put them 19 points up? Would be interesting to read the comments and people potting melbourne and probably giving up at that stage.

Actually I just re read some, it's funny reading them now especially knowing the result. Even comments I wrote wow I did get frustrated with harmes. 

Poeple potting Goody saying he has no backup plan, Viney getting slammed as well as fritta.

As sad as it was not being at the G...Im glad we didn't have to battle for the flag last year.

Sure it was weird seeing a granny in Perth but truth be told it was better than last years one in Brisbane.

it was sold out and certainly had a great atmosphere.

Also I dont feel anyone can take anything away from us with covid. There were no shortened quarters. No stop start. No 30 games in 30 days,.

Other than a few crowds missing and change of venues it was business a usual. Credit to  the Afl for all their work.

And a credit to all the western fans and those who travelled.

I refrained from the site but started sulking at the 19 point margin and was genuinely afraid.

If i had come here Im sure I wouldn't have said things Id regret. Nothing new.

After Gus goaled I was feeling ok.

Despite our history and it being only 4 goals I was dancing everywhere at 3/4 time knowing it was ours. There was just some magic about in that 60 seconds...... a sign if you like.

Makes up for that one that looked like a goal that Max kicked in the second QTR I think.

I was spewing at the time.

Having watched he replay a few times I have noticed just how good Viney was.

He had an enormous game tackling, getting the hard ball to advantage for his teammates and creating space for his teammates with one in particular I remember which gave Harmes the opportunity to get the ball and hit Fritch lace out which atarted our comeback. 

Viney is Melbourne royalty and deserves all his success. I am really happy for him. 

Heart and Soul of the Club.

Can't believe people were calling him out for a couple of years there.

So nice!

For sure, the circumstances and the efforts everyone (the club, fans east to west and everywhere else) put in to be connected gave the whole thing a very different flavour. I've said a few times that I've never given all that much thought before to Dees fans in WA and what it's like to follow from afar, but I'll always have a special respect for our WA fans now and will do what I can to make sure that connection stays strong, as it always should be.

Certainly if I'm ever lucky enough to attend a Grand Final, I'll be thinking about the people unable to attend due to distance/cost/not getting a ticket and how to ease that for others because I so appreciated what WA fans did to help us feel like we were there.

I've never been a fan of the Titanic music to footy clips either.
It was more the slow motion vision of the players reactions to taking top spot that did it.
Especially Oliver.

In hindsight, Im not sure I could have handled a game that went to the wire.

Its strange that if someone told me that Tmac, Max , Jackson and Kozzie hadnt goaled by three qrt time, I would have assumed a big loss.

Gee Fritta must have been close to the medal. Almost bagged six. Still love his fourth goal for skill and momentum.

 Watching the replay, the 19 point deficit wasnt really an accurate depiction of our efforts. So many points just missed  from set shots whereas dogs  quick snaps went straight through the middle.

Is it just me or did the dogs seem very flat coming out in the last. Its like they had already surrendered. Could that last minute of the third have taken away their hope? I know we were playing some inspired footy but it did seem they had dropped as well.

The look on Bonts face after Olivers goal says it all. He looks at the scoreboard replay, shakes his head, curses and almost cries. The other players in a state of shock.They gave up then. Not even a a semblance of a challenge in the last. Beveridge confirms this when he says in the blink of an eye the game was gone for them.

Surrendered? Nope.  They just couldnt get the ball, we were the best team this year, It took them 2.5 quarters to get 19 points up and the Dees 10 minutes to get 24 points up.  (Don't tell anyone but their mid field is too old).

More like too young Smith Dunkley  Bont McRae and Hunter are  still young ish others are 24 plus inc Libba and Treloar who with Bont and Smith  were their best.

CP5 and Clarry and Jack Viney who  had a great game in and under plus Sparrow who was almost error free and so clean plus Harmes in bursts and the wonderfully underrated ANB who played his finest game by far IMO and  has another 5 years of good/ great footy ahead of him at the Dees ALL proved too much with Dogga and Maxy extra mids.

The Dam Wall broke when our A graders flicked the switch to another level ( sorry about 3 levels up).

Best Dees footy I have ever seen in 63 years 100 to 7 points!! A 93 point turnaround in 1.5 quarters!!!

Championship Quarter plus the Domination Quarter to boot equals Premiership half 16.5 to 3.1 !!!

13 th Flag and we are back in the Top Vic Clubs if we play our cards right.

    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
