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.

Thanks guys, hungry for new content. Don't know what I'll do until March next year. Just have to comfort myself with watching the premiership replay. Might watch the whole season again

Funny you should say that. As i say in the podcast that is exactly what i plan to do.

One game a week, starting this weekend with the preseason practice match against the dogs

I might just review Mark Maclure’s assessment of it, and the Dees utter lack of hope and potential 😎.

I should say at the outset that I haven’t been able to listen to the whole podcast yet, apologies if this has been covered.

Reflecting on just how good this whole season has been, particularly the finals campaign I did some figures on our percentages.

End of home and away season 130.8

Finals campaign 213.1

Full season including finals 135.2

While the end of h&a percentage 130.8 and the full season incl. finals 135.2 are probably not records in historical terms either within the club or across VFL/AFL. I do wonder how the 213.1 percentage for the 2021 finals campaign stacks up either way.

Our percentage in the 87 finals would have been up there but definately not the same ending

I think I read somewhere that our finals percentage was second behind Geelong 07

Didn't cover it specifically. But we did discuss our scores against is the lowest of any premier in over 50 years (since the the introduction of the out of bounds on the full, a change that lead to immediate significant jump in scoring)

And discussed how insane it was that in the home and away season teams only averaged a touch over 27 points against us in second halves. And the fact it was even lower in the finals.

Thanks Bin, I did get to hear that bit.

I confess I wasn’t expecting the outrageously successful finals campaign that we had and looked at the 57 moments clip that someone put up and thought this has been an incredibly successful whole season, do I appreciate it as much as I should.

I want to put it into perspective and legitimise it with more with stats if I can and make sure it stays relevant for good solid reason.

I have looked at Wikipedia AFL and can’t find what I am looking for encapsulated in a snapshot. The stats are there it is a matter of assembling them to paint the picture, sorry to say a job for someone with more digital nouse than I possess.

Another interesting stats in regards to the finals and our opponents.

Our winning margins against Brisbane (33), Geelong (83) & Western Bulldogs (74) were their biggest losing margins for the 2021 season.

We didn't get to play Port in the Finals but their loss to the Bulldogs in the Preliminary final (71 points) was their biggest loss of the season. Therefore by aggregate of their loss to the Bulldogs and our margin against the Bulldogs means we beat them by 145 points because Math ...

Thanks doggas, just what I was looking for, second on the list of last twenty years, that is some validation of just how good this team’s final series has been this 2021 season. Any chance those stats go back further?

Nice to see our ‘87 campaign came in 5th spot, that was a seriously good “Swooper” team built on the back of the RDB and Slug rejuvenation of mfc.

The more I delve into this it underlines what a brilliant season and particularly finals series this has been for mfc.

I am now beginning to see it in its rightful place in history. I hope the word spreads.

Thanks for that doggas, now that I have had time to have a good look at the table you provided, I see it’s a list of the best twenty finals series percentages. Going back more than a century and coming in second on that table certainly puts this seasons finals campaign in true light. A great effort by the whole club for the whole season and one that I hope is not lost or seen in a lesser light in the mist of this COVID ravaged time in history.

Looking closer at the table I notice that Swooper’s 87 team is the only one in the list that was not premiers, Carlton were that year.

Doggas, do you know if the table is “finals series best percentages”, or “premiers, final series best percentages” and there has been a slip up not crediting Carlton in 1987?

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    It's Game Day and the Demons once again open the round of football with their annual clash against Richmond on ANZAC Eve. The Tigers, coached by former Dees champion and Premiership assistant coach Adem Yze have a plethora of stars missing due to injury but beware the wounded Tiger. The Dees will have to be switched on tonight. A win will keep them in the hunt for the Top 4 whilst a loss could see them fall out of the 8 for the first time since 2020.

    There’s a touch of irony in the fact that Adem Yze played his first game for Melbourne in Round 13, 1995 against the club he now coaches. For that game, he wore the number 44 guernsey and got six touches in a game the team won by 11 points.  The man whose first name was often misspelled, soon changed to the number 13 and it turned out lucky for him. He became a highly revered Demon with a record of 271 games during which his presence was acknowledged by the fans with the chant of “Oozee” wh

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim
