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 haven’t read every page of this thread so apologies if this has been mentioned before. Taken from the mongrel punt, an excellent football page. This particular author LOVES Oliver and sees him as we do, despite not being a Dees fan.

Where is the vision? Do you have a link?

Not sure about any "special" vision, but pull up the broadcast video from CH7 on the AFL website (Match Replay) and go to about 1:40:30 (just before stoppage in Melbourne forward line with 1:07 to play) and you will see ANB already on his knees and Harmes remonstrating with #43 from Brisbane as a trainer runs out to ANB.

At next stoppage with 1:00 to play, you can hear the umpire saying "let it go James" and something like "just let them deal with it" (not really clear, thought initially he might have said "let me deal with it").  

Ben Brown is also remonstrating with Brisbane #43 at that moment.  

What a gutless thing to do.

Just under the radar I thought Rivers is starting to hit some form. Did a number of good things on the night and seemed to play freely. Has had some injury woes this year bit looked more like his 2021 self.

 

Actually thought it was his best game leadership-wise.

Missed the game live due to an important function. Ended up watching the game at 1am. Slept and dog tired most of Saturday and had an early night. I thought a thorough demolition of Brisbane was a pipe dream on their home turf but we did it. We certainly are a side that won’t be intimidated. Looking forward to finals.

Nothing like a big Friday night win to put a pep in your step for the rest of the weekend

Was at a function last night with a number of Carlton supporters. They were fretting over their game today whereas I could relax and enjoy the evening safe in the knowledge our double chance has been secured

But I got to see close ups of Neal Bullen vomiting and Barry’s tennis ball ankle 🙄

That ankle was bad. I think he played on after they taped it. Gutsy effort.

It sure was and winners at last has used the mist appropriate emojii we have....the vomit one.

That should be more than a week. Nibbler us a tough cookie and to be doubled over spewing is not a good look for the afl and 1 week isn't a strong enough statement.

Face or stomach it's still a person your whacking and one could argue a stomach punch that makes you vomit had definite intent to cause severe pain. A malicious dog act into.

In days gone by, if a team attempted to physically beat us up like Brisbane tried the other day we would have folded like cream puffs. Instead we returned the favor (legally) and hammered them back into their hole like whack a mole! Loving it!

Dirty footy overcome; the Dees provided resilience, determination, were focussed and set on a mission - to a man. The Bears had to concede, it stuffed up their game. The mongrel we sought was provided in better footballing terms.  If we play Geelong, they will be next because their footy ain't as good as ours. The Filth, on the other had, will just fold.

Was at the game and have just watched the first half again tonight.

The thing that summed it up for me was Jayden Hunt. With about 12 to go in the second quarter, he wins a contested possession on the half back flank, hands it off and then gut runs past three lions opponents to take a mark in clear space on the opposite forward flank.

Absolutely burnt them off. Incredible running by our team all night.

He screwed the kick up into the F50 but it was super impressive running, he just left them jogging after him.

Our F50 entries were so much better too.

Also, Zorko grabbing Ed in a choke hold and then pulling his hair was pretty low. He should have been cited as well for that.

Great game from Hunty.

I have a different view as to why we were outscored in the second half than those presented in the last few pages.

I reckon we were practicing some new tactics to take into the finals.  I would need to watch the game again to see what they might be.

Trying new tactics when well in front was openly discussed by the club when we were heading towards 10-0.

I mentioned in another thread how we on Friday night we had a different approach in our ball movement fwd of centre and i50 hence our improved accuracy.  Very similar to how we played the GF.

Can’t believe I’m so late to this one (family issues) but I’d say that was our win of the season. Against a team I never thought we’d beat. Not only that, we killed them. Never in doubt. I’m so proud of us. Never surrendered the lead all match. Can’t wait to have a well-earned break and enjoy the finals. I have nothing to fear from Brisbane from now on.

go Dees

    GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Richmond

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you his observations from this morning's Captain's Run including some hints at the changes for our ANZAC Eve clash against the Tigers. Sunny, though a touch windy, this morning, 23 of them no emergencies.  Forwards out first. Harrison Petty, JvR, Jack Billings, Kade Chandler, Kozzy, Bayley Fritsch, and coach Stafford.  The backs join them, Steven May, Jake Lever, Woey, Judd McVee, Blake Howes, Tom McDonald

    OOZEE by The Oracle

    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

    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.
