    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 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.

Best 32 seconds of my life and I've had a few 32 second moments too.

I noticed Bontempelli's look of despair then too. A stark contrast to the look in Petracca's eye after he dobbed that classic banana dribbler!

Yeah well, the look on Bonempellis face when he put them 19pts up would have been different again.

Sparrow’s goal very underrated. Kicks it from 52m off one step. Elite!

Elite - yes, but underrated - not IMO! That was a massive highlight of the game for me!

We’ve rewritten the Leigh Matthews rule. 
Now if you’re down by 10 goals with 2 minutes left commentators can say if they use the Melbourne rule they could get up by a couple of goals here.

Huge moment too - he misses that and we go in 13 points up, very gettable. I think it was such a big hit that it kind of made the Dogs collapse and give us the next one.

Sparrow is a ripper

I watched the 3 quarter many times and most have forgoten the previous burst of 3 goals in less than a minute from the time Fritsch kicks his 3rd goal to Brown kicking his second.

So infact there was not 1 burst but 2 which put the game on the balance to winners, the look on the Bulldog players and suporter after Clayton's Goal is priceless they knew the game was done and dusted.

The last quater was icing on the premiership cake.

What about the bust at the start of the 4th. We had 2 goals by 1 min 53sec due to Brown and Fritz set shots and then Tracc burst out of the centre again and kicked a point.  If you add that to then end of the 3rd we had 5.1 in 2 mins 50s.  Surely that’s a record.

this may have been mentioned previously on Demonland however this team has had the tendency to kick goals in quick succession across the year.  Quite common to kick 4 goals in 10 mins, 6 in 15 mins and tear games open.  Thankfully they saved the best till last

His celebration was hilarious/intense too! I think a couple of devil horns with both hands to form a "W" in the middle? And then he quickly flashes the same symbol to Ben Brown as he walks back to position.

Yes, we're down to the hand gestures level of analysis of these three minutes!

I think we've all watched it enough to know Sparrows goal was awesome and Dogga was brilliant in the ruck. But this was an Oliver and Petracca blitz. Not just their goals but they setup Sparrows.

It was actually Viney who won both clearances - first with a handball to trac, and then a toe poke into the Path of Jackson (good thing he did this too as both Jackson and Oliver had run ahead of the stoppage!)

I will remember it for Petracca and Oliver but let's not forget who got the hard ball

Not for the first time either. Which is why I preferred him selected over JJ.

Our first goal...Tracs was similiar but perhaps Trac wasnt as far out. Its not all timing...it shows a lot of strength in the legs. Sparrow is a strong player. Had a great second half.

He may be a future Trac.

Has been mentioned in a previous thread but are the three successive Demon goals kicked in the last minute of the 3rd quarter:

00:51 Petracca

00:34 Sparrow

00:19 Oliver

Are these the quickest 3 goals in succession ever?

 

Must be close if not. I'm no stats man but I'd be happy to wager a lot that its certainly the case in a GF.

It was an incredible quarter .

When dogs kicked onto a nineteen point lead with Bont having a good day  I really thought we would lose.

True 19 points isn't huge but given we smashed the first quarter we seemed to have totally slowed down.

The one thing that has been different about this club is how many times we have come back from being down. Not just scorewise but also our momentum.

So many games this year Mfc of old would have rolled over.

But to comeback like that and add those three junktime goals I knew we had won.

It was a thing of beauty.

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

If you have any further questions let me know below and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. I will release the podcast at some time tomorrow so stay tuned.
