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.

It's never a pleasant experience being the away side at the G against this mob. Actually considered watching this one on the box for all of 5 minutes. Does anyone know where the general admission areas will be down at the Punt Road end of the ground today as I want to have as few of these soap dodgers around me as possible? 

On the positive side, if we are winning by 8 goals it’s not so bad seeing the ferals go nuts

ill do usual, stand on ground level around M9 where a few demons fans usually gather. And try not to get our teeth knocked out

Heading off in about half an hour with my Collingwood supporting brother-in-law to watch the game from high up on the 4th level. Very tempted to bring binoculars, or even "opera glasses" just to pump up the MFC supporter wealthy snob cliche. Feeling good but reckon it will be a close, gut-wrenching game.

Went to this game at the scg last year.

No big freeze.

No atmosphere. 

Hopefully this will be different.

Watched poor Weid struggle and take only one mark.

We came back hard but alas it didn't feel Ike a Qbday round at the scg.

Will we soon be having a kings Bday round?

Not wishing any sickness on HRH.

Just wondering.

As for Melksham being gifted a 200 game I thought he played poorly and then followed up a bad week.

He used to be very good but I think his days are over.

Without May....bbb in a massive slump and no tmac this won't be a cake walk.

Trac seems out of form too.

Mfcss back again.

It's a shame I got used to feeling arrogant about winning. 

Just settle on the MFCSS.

Demons can lose today and we will still be on top!

Freo lost May in game, Trac was crook & shouldn’t have played, then Petty went down, and we got run over with structure out, plus Langdon missed which also hurt structurally!

Last week 5 back, a few looked a little rusty, zero goals from turnover, which is very unusual and still took two poor umpiring decisions to finish us off.

Yes, forward line out of sorts particularly BBB, but it happened last year. Don’t hit panic stations yet. We timed things perfectly last year, have some faith!

Go Demons, demolish the filth!

If our boys are serious we win this game 

Brisbane, Fremantle and Carlscum all winning makes this even more important 

Another loss to a team that is not a real contender would be a concern particularly with our relatively tough home stretch 

so how about when we are 5 or 6 goals up at quarter time how about the team actually keeps on going this week and kick the gettable goals. This has turned into a very very important game for us on a number of levels

Go Dees

Crazy to think we haven’t beaten this mob on QBD since 2017 and Jack Watts’ goal. We’re too good of a team to not beat them today.

As I said in another thread, I think we’ll win today but it’ll be a smallish margin. It’ll be low scoring like 70-55.

Maybe this week but the bye rounds aren't over yet!

If we  lose today, with the bye next week and Cats and Blues likely to win round 14 there will be 5 teams on 10 wins when the byes are over! 

And heaven forbid, the Cats on top as they play the Eagles next week and will show no mercy to get a big % boost.

Then the top 4 spots are going to be a bun fight.  We need to win today!

Well they beat us last year. We need to stand up today & win to be a game clear on top.                                                 Just hope ginnivan doesn't get the ball to many times & the umps don't feel like they owe him today. I also hope our forward line can click into gear.

Don't worry, Geelong can't pass us next week even if we lose - they're 8-4, so the best they can get to is 9-4, we'd be 10-3 with a loss.

Brisbane and Fremantle haven't had their byes either, so they can't pass us if we end tonight on top. The only side who could theoretically pass us is Carlton, who are 9-3 having had their bye. They are currently 31.3% behind us though, and play Richmond next week.

If we lose, but we don't shed 7% and therefore stay above Brisbane, it's highly likely we finish next week on top. But, as I think Carlton would be favourites to beat Richmond, if we lose today there is every chance at the end of next week the top 4 are all on 10-3. And, given Geelong has West Coast, St Kilda has Essendon and Sydney has Port, there's a fair chance 5-7 on the ladder will all be just one game behind.

Which will mean, despite starting 10-0 and having a two game lead on 2nd, we could by the end of next week be one game out of 7th.

Malthouse was a great coach but lacks any quality in terms of insights or journalism right now.  
 

I went to a corporate gig about 4 years ago (2017/18) and Malthouse was the key note speaker on Motivation and Resilience.  Worst $15k spent by the business for an hour. He finished in 45 minutes and was “boring “ to be fair. Rattled on about his childhood and how he would spent time dreaming about getting to the VFL. Ok if he was speaking to high school kids but not corporate audience.  PowerPoint was scrambled slides put together without any link to his story.

    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

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.

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P
