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.

I’m in Fiji currently and am considering a weekly sub to WatchAFL to watch it but all the reviews I’ve read bemoan the quality of the stream. Can anyone confirm whether it’s worth it?   

It was fine for me while I was in NZ a couple of weeks ago.

Unless we lose a quarter, will win by 8 goals+ I reckon. Depends entirely on Eagles effort. If they’ve genuinely checked out, it’ll get ugly.

I had a similar experience in round 13 2014. I was also in Fiji.

Essendon vs Demons. Game was superclose. My connection came back for 30seconds as I watched the ball move from half back, up to Salem who marked 20meters out. 

Connection goes down again and I know it's going to take 3 minutes to buffer again but I didn't care. I knew Salem was a good kick and would kick it.

I was in New York for that match and had to get up at 3 or 4am to watch it in the hotel bathroom so I wouldn’t wake my wife. I ended up walking the entire floor of the hotel. WatchAFL worked fine.

All I want is the four points.

And an extra 20 percentage points.

Last year vs Crows thinking pre game couldn’t lose, agree to happily bank the 4 points vs Eagles!

Salem to come back soon, Bedford playing well plus Tomlinson, Weideman and Dunstan in VFL should be sufficient pressure for a strong effort and solid win today.

RIP Andrew Symonds, another person gone far to early. While not anywhere near in the Warne status probably the best fielder I have ever seen play cricket. 

Terribly sad.  A brilliant cricketer.  Loved watching him take the game on.  And just amazing in the field.

This might have been the most relaxing week as a Melbourne supporter I've ever had. This coming week would have been too but will now be offset by a Europa League final taking place in Seville early on Thursday morning. It's a gorgeous autumnal day so I might take the short train ride down to Arden Street to watch the magoos before the main event starts.

We are so many leagues ahead it's not funny

We will play forward half footy and they will stand no chance 

I expect nothing more the belting - we showed good score board pressure in the first against the saints and I'd love to see that for 4qts today

I still have nightmares of the feeble capitulation to the EssUndone VFL side a few years back.  
I actually found it hard to take our team seriously for the next 12 months or so.  
Guys - please don’t let that happen    My MFCSS could become terminal.

Indeed .. I also remember when the Swans were on a losing streak of about 30 matches ... guess who they had a win against to break that streak? To make matters worse, I was at that match!!

PS.  I was also at the loss v Essendon VFL side.

No MFCSS here!

Yes, that 2014 Ess game was a nightmare but this isn't that team.   It was light years away from where we are now. 

The whole WCE club has thrown in the towel:  They are officially using the 'R' word chairman-s-message

Dees by 6-8 goals.

Eagles will not play with much of a gameplan and will likely try to own the corridor not to mention pack our forward 50.

Could be a frustrating game but hopefully not

If we use 6-6-6 to our advantage and bang bang bang <repeat repeatedly> then they won’t get a chance to pack the backline.

Hard to resist the 17:1 Eagles.

This "WAFL side" contains Kennedy, Darling, McGovern, Cripps, Ryan , Barrass, Shuey.

I can't help but worry.

I have MFCSS.

If you really want to take a chance take the $4.50 for Melbourne to win by under 40 points. You don't see that too often $1.12 for over 40 points and $4.50 for under.

Started work early so I could make the matinee down at John Foord Oval with Corowa taking on Yarrawonga. Despite Corowas improvement (only falling 2 points shirt of Albury, and should have won on expected score) I think Yarra will be to tough an ask.

 

Leg of lamb on the rotisserie and a fat cuban I'll be round in the forward pocket scoreboard end if anyone's hungry.

G'day from Wahgunyah 😉

    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
