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.

Freo could be in trouble. Weather forecast for Sydney this weekend is cold and wet . GWS could knock them off if it rains.

Its in Canberra.

It's not negative. I'm just stating that there's a good chance we won't finish in the top four.  Are we going to bury our heads in the sand?

No.  What we should all be hoping for  to bury is Brisbane, for starters.  
What a pathetic meaningless thread.

GWS and St Kilda both have something to prove and will want to finish the season off well, especially the Saints after last week.

Swans are in red hot form, but Saints might not get blown out of the water, and we might have another big win against the Lions.

To suggest we are not finishing top 4 a week before the final 8 is settled, is frankly, just posting garbage for the sake of posting garbage.

If we win, we're near-certain to play Sydney, with only percentage deciding whether it's at the MCG or SCG.

In the unlikely event Sydney loses to St Kilda, we will host:

  1. Collingwood, if they beat Carlton
  2. Fremantle, if Collingwood loses and Fremantle wins
  3. Sydney, if both Collingwood and Fremantle lose and Sydney maintains its percentage buffer over Brisbane
  4. Brisbane, if both Collingwood and Fremantle lose and somehow Sydney sheds so much percentage that they drop past Brisbane (who will have also lost to us)

If we lose, we can still finish top 4 but would need two of these things to happen:

  1. Collingwood loses to Carlton
  2. Fremantle loses to GWS
  3. Sydney loses to St Kilda and sheds enough percentage to drop behind us

Those are in order of likelihood. The last one isn't happening, because St Kilda stink. So if you want an insurance policy, get around GWS.

For a post that virtually all are saying shouldn’t be a separate topic, why is it getting enough oxygen to expand onto a 3rd page? (I apologise for adding to the topic)

I also cannot believe that people are responding to this thread thus one by one expanding the number of pages attached to said thread.

We're not beating Brisbane up there so as long as Collingwood beat Carlton which is likely or Fremantle beats GWS we will finish out of the top four.  If that happens we have to hope Sydney loses by more than us. Doesn't look good.

We're winning the flag!

And in the unlikely chance of a draw we would play Geelong.

Tbh everyone has the right to share their views, we’ve all encountered MFCSS at some point in time. Positive or negative, hopeful or cautious, it just shows that our current form is not as confidence inspiring. Nevertheless, I couldn’t believe how tight the table looks right now.. this will be a big week in footy!

Can’t believe how negative some of our supporters are.

im surprised there’s not a recent thread called “ we won’t win the 1964 or  2021 flag” 

 

 

It's pitiful, it's almost like they revel in the misery 🤔

Meanwhile I've added another to the ignore list, it makes Demonland way more enjoyable

sportsbet has it effectively 50/50 to beat Brisbane, I wouldn't be so negative.

“We're not beating Brisbane up there so…..”

Because they smashed us in the middle of last year….then easily accounted for us in the final in Adelaide and pulverised us on the G earlier this year…wait…what??!! 
 

FFS stop sooking and start supporting. If you actually let yourself enjoy these times, it’s a thrill ride. 
 

Or would you rather Less pressure and be focussing on another high draft pick?

Wanna bet? More sure of beating Brisbane than any other 8 team, only crew that make our offence look good, and our pressure is higher for longer. Easiest game of the next 4.

We ARE finishing top 4.

So there 😛

    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

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
