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.

We were on the ropes and ready to crack up half way through the third quarter. Bont was tearing us apart. Keath and Naughton marking everything. Gawn dropping easy marks. Then the most extraordinary 15 minutes of footy I’ve ever seen by us. Absolutely amazing centre clearance work by the tag team beasts of Petracca and Oliver. 

And Viney / Harmes

And once again ... would it have been the same without our WA Demon supporters waving the flag and cheering on the boys?

Maybe it's an accident of history, but whatever ... our supporters rose to the occasion and gave the team the reception and support they deserved.

WA are Aussie Rules royalty and cheered on our boys in the manner required. Thank you WA demons and ...

GO DEMONS!!

Weid did a lap of the ground to give the crowd high fives. I yelled out "stay with us Weid!" 

When he got to me he jumped and went "Whoo!" and gave me the biggest high five.

No idea if there was anything to read into it or not. But he was a happy man for the team.

Jetta also got a good reception, although he was more subdued than weid.

How courageous was the Bowey v Weightman match up? Well done, Bowser. You killed him.  

There were into each other too. Not sure if it was on caught on camera.

Neither of them took a backwards step.

I noticed a few of the boys giving a few extra push and shoves to Hannan too. I get the impression that he wasn't the most loved team mate.

I can see the dvd version but in this day and age HD is the minimum standard - sorry just a tech head.

 

I’ll pay whatever - no question on that.

Sanity are advertising a blu ray, but later release date. Also a collectors edition premiership pack, with extra ‘stuff’. Also later. Looks like they’re gonna make us double dip….DVD first, then blu ray, then whiz bang everything edition.

Just saw over at Bogfooty Trav20/Hannibal telling Dees fans to ‘stay grounded’…

WTF?

After what you all have been through - you do what you [censored] like short of violence.

Seriously, your club was the butt of jokes of people that barely knew footy - don’t waste your time trying to impress them with being ‘measured’.

You just be you!

Go Dees

Was he directly on him a lot? Saw Bowey shake hands with Treloar at the start. Then saw him out body Bailey Smith in a marking contest too. And was sat on by JJ for that hanger obviously. But certainly was on Weightman a lot including a number of crucial contests late.

175cm. Just turned 19. Predominantly played wing and half forward as a junior. Missed the whole year last year from covid. Interrupted VFL season. What a story.

His quick hands, reading of the player, ability to compete in the air for a small, so much to like. And he's still just getting a taste and hasn't really had a huge chance to do what he does best which is chop a game up with his kicking.

To all my fellow Demonlanders, I opened that bottle of Wild Turkey tonight. Guess what? The cork dried out and I corked the bottle. Once I got it open, it was the sweetest taste of fulfilment. I thought i would cry, but the enjoyment of knowing we won with 15 minutes left in the last just allowed me and the family to enjoy the moment . What a feeling! Go Dee's. I love Youse all.

I saw the 1964 Grand Final and have wondered endlessly whether my grandchildren whose houses are today decked out in red and blue would ever see a Melbourne premiership 

 

There is so much to consider and I don’t pretend to be a brilliant analyst 

Better recruiting allied with pruning of the list

A couple of wildcards - Bayley Fritsch 

For me a special mention of the daring coaching tactic of handballing forward into danger trusting in the ability of the attacking player to carry forward the contest whereas for so many years the convention has been to handball backwards (the only team I can recall as successfully countering this in 2021 was Collingwood for whatever reason)

The development through Casey that has given some young ones with talent the experience of this Cup that can be carried forward 

Also  - from today’s game : we are building for the future 

perhaps to create not a one hit wonder but something special and ongoing 

My cup runneth over and our fourteen grandchildren not to mention five children have their faith and loyalty rewarded and they have witnessed a true team triumph (without individualism)

Brilliant, just brilliant, very happy for you and the Dees brigade.

Showing true colours - I once said to him that I reckon he likes to be seen as ‘a reasonable Dees fan’ more that he like being a Dees fan…

I'm early to bed, early to rise. What am I doing on D'land at this time of night?

It must be that something momentous has happened.

Something big, earth shaking.

Fifty seven years of curse! Lifted!

Demons the greatest team in the land.

Destroyed, absolutely took apart, the next best team.

Football aficionados like close grand finals. Huge comebacks. Or match saving marks in the last minute. That kind of thing.

Well fluck that.

The oldest club, the greatest club, has shown what finals football is all about.

The greatest club has shown how to play finals football. Not pretty. Not champagne. Just relentless spirit. Never say die.

The greatest club is back where it belongs.

THANK YOU DEMONS

GO DEMONS.

    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
