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.

Gee it's not far away now.

It's a tough job selecting from a fit list. I understand Adam t is doing well. I wonder if round one is too soon for him.It's hard removing a gf player for him and anyone else for that matter.

I would think Hunt is an auto in but again tough to break up a gf winning side.

Hunt aint no auto in, in fact he aint even the next one in, in my team but I'm not on the selection panel so maybe he's got a chance.

A lot of water to flow under the bridge before round 1 - IMVHO Hunt is probably in the best 26 (or so) but no lock in for 22.

So much discussion about Hunt, Smith, Weid, Tomlinson, Dunstan et al and whom they would/could replace.

It's unrealistic to think that the Club could have another dream run with injuries and, of course, covid in 2022, so these players will get their chances this season.

My Old Man's into the mid 50's. He must be sick of the theme song by now. 

Didn’t think this was possible. 😁 That’s another great thing about the GF replay on December 5th: because it was only Dees fans in attendance we got to indulge in the song so many times while the boys were doing their lap after the medal presentation. Countless times, in fact. And all consecutively. It was pure joy.

I love watching it when Bont kicks that goal. His celebration isn’t a “I just kicked a good goal.” It’s so overdone it’s a “I just won the premiership for us.” Never get too excited until the siren goes. The funniest thing was Trelor kicked the next goal and his lack of celebration afterwards. Bont must have felt so stupid after the game, what his that premature celebration captured all over the screen.

One thing about watching the replay of game you are not as tense as watching it live and hoping when we were 19 points down that we could make a game of it and win the game.

I also watched us lose the 1954 GF game.

To all those people who were virgin premiers this year enjoy it because when I watched my first in 1955 when I was 9, I hoped we could repeat the dose in the near future.

In 1964 when we won the GF my father said that the team had probably reached its zenith and we need some fresh blood to win another I did not realise it would be 57 years till the next one and my father passed away in 2007 still hoping to see a premiership.

So enjoy this premiership but they are bloody hard to repeat unless your injury luck is good and the players that you do lose are not long term and are replaceable with your depth players.

Hi all, just wondering where I would find the GF game day thread please?? 

Maybe I’ve done this correctly (?)

I’m not sure if this works. I hope so, it’s a great read!

I remember at half time i was sitting there pretty down trying to prepare myself to watch the most important half of football in my life.The dogs were the only team i thought would give us a game and to that point they had. 

Bont goal sailed over my head and i thought that was the game. Thank god i was wrong!

Here here I was on the wing / half forward  line in a Melb section on the public side of the ground and thought exactly the same from half time to Bonts goal.

When you look at the game again  our defenders saved the game by only allowing 2 goals in half a quarter of footy .Digs had attacked and then if by manic we clicked into gear with 2 goals to establish our claim on the Flag.

It was never in doubt from 3/4 time on as we finished far too strong for the Doggies  in one of greatest Finals wins ever. 
So well deserved by everyone in the Red and Blue team and supporters!

I’ve got a standing annual bet with a Bulldogs mate on which team finishes higher on the ladder. Been going on for about 7 years and has cost me dearly… but not this time!

It rotates between a keg party or long lunch, and today’s the day! If you live around Nortcote, there is a strong weather warning of smugness 😁

I’m in the area Wiz, I’ll keep a close weather  eye out for any smugness. Let it rip, God know we’ve earned it!

    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
