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 has to start now.


👉🏽Do not entertain a shoot out
                                                                     👉🏽Match Viney’s intensity

👉🏽Shut down Curnow and McKay

👉🏽 Kick straight / give off to someone in better position 

👉🏽Tackles / defensive pressure inside our 50

If we can do this, we’ll win by 8 goals. 
 

Go Dees🔴🔵

...and no third quarter nap time

If Melbourne let  Carlton do as they please and Cripps roughs up a few of our players without brutal retaliation from us we'll probably lose half the membership base for '23.

Get the job done dees . No talk about yesterdays players no matter how respected they are.

Get it done.!!

I know I’m banging on about it but BOM says chance of showers all day. What a load of crap.(Just like it did for last Friday’s game - which didn’t rain one bit during the game)  (The app I look at shows a number of forecasts, one says a shower around 5pm, the other at 7pm)
 At worst there may be a shower…….so all of us that can, turn up and be loud and proud.

FFS, it would be nice to outnumber the opposition supporters at our last home game for the year.  Is that too much to hope for?

My friend Peter “Johnno”’Johnson (an arrogant Blues supporter) reckons they have our measure and guys like Saad and Walsh will expose our zone.  He thinks Curnow and McKay will be too much for Dees. 
 

Bring it on. 
 

I do wish we had a strong marking “figurehead” key forward like Neita in the line up. Our multiple entries seem to go wasted a lot of the time.

A bit nervous about tonight. My MFCSS is in full swing. Blues got nothing to lose, Cripps playing, backs against the wall, statement game to claim “The blues are back”. We’re a better side, and we just need to get the job done tonight.

Our fan base hasn’t seen a victory against a big Melbourne club since Anzac Eve. As a club we need to win tonight as it’s winning these games which makes our supporter base want to show up rather than get out numbered in the crowd and beaten. Give our supporters a reason to walk out after the game heads held high with a victory.

Spot on. Neiter was such a reliable target.

I wish Dogga could come close to him.

But I guess Jackson is younger and may some day. Hope he stays.

 

Bbb was doing well last year at this role and really improved his contested marking or at least getting the ball to ground for our seagulls.

Here's hoping anyway.

I hope Dees supporters don't boo Cripps(though the system does deserve booing).

Booing just encourages players. Don't let's help fire him up.

And it's just not the Mlbourne way. Too much class. Especially when one has a mouthful of Jarlsberg cheese the throat is dry and it's hard to make any sound.

The blues usually get home crowds in the 40-50s even against interstate so it seems low especially when you consider the importance of the game for both teams.

One should expect a decent crowd but who knows

It's a fight for finals possie ....I reckon closer to 59,987

Us supporters have not given up so 25k Dees...30k blues and 4987 hanger ons whose teams are " resbuilding"

I'd say most of us probably agree too Mr Sunrise but the blues have bit to lose this being the 2nd last game of the season.

You want to power home with the spinnaker up and win those games going into finals.

Yea out form has been down but we haven't been humilated.

Tighten up our backline with May and Lever doing what they do best ...intercept marking.

And have bbb stand tall so to speak and clunk quite a few. Fritta to spark up and Kozzie and Sparticus to do the rest in terms of scoring.

I'm hoping Jackson and Gawn swapping roles every ten mins will be too much for Carlton.

Bring it home the best club in the world.

Going off a tangent here. Nothing new I suppose 

 

Moving to Northern Wollongong ten years ago...I thought I do right by my 16 yo son and take him to a nrl game.

His mates follow it.

 

I tried ny hardest to get into it as I have enjoyed state of origin....the rivalry and atmosphere is like 3 grand finals in a row .

But a normal game well our team the Dragons were smashed....it was quite boring to Afl.

Sure I appreciate the toughness and courage of players... especially standing under a rain maker with 1000kg of men coming at you.

 

I know I'm bias but truly it lacks the speed... the speckies....the snaps....the disco dancing around players...the run and precision.

 

Even after 4 beers it wasn't holding much attention.

 

Afl is the best game in the world and it's all ours...the Irish are smart and have something similar.

It's a great leveller...players and class.

5ft 4 mid v a 7ff ruck.... plumbers and politicians all enjoy this unique sport.

GB have soccer...yawn.

Usa has football....like nrl.

France has rugby...not too bad.

But Afl wins hands down. A GAME called footy but can have more handballs than kicks.

I'm tearing up now must go...proud to be an Aussie.

On a much lighter (and way sweeter) note: this is what I bring to our games. (Please don’t judge me)

I call it the “I don’t care about living to a ripe old age” ensemble. The banana is included since I do care about living ‘til the end of the match. 😁

JK. I actually share these around with my comrades. Especially for a double-header like today. I’m a (sugar) loading believer. So if you notice a spike in our energy levels around the beginning of the second quarter tonight you’ll know why. 
You’re welcome!

PS: hey @The heart beats true! We could fill our squadders with nothing but pure sugar for a week and have em all hooked up to a liquid sugar drip and they’d still be s**t-house, amirite?! Someone should start a thread about it!

Not sure if I really believe the banana story.

If I know you and I think I do a little I'd say it was there to surreptitiously toss on the boundary line for a blues player kicking from the pocket.

But I won't tell anyone. Oh wait...

    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
