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.

Clint Bartram – 'Barty' finished the season off really well. His last six games were in defence and he did some really good jobs for the team. He showed some improvement in his game – particularly his kicking and decision-making. We know he is a competitor and he's very quick. He has good endurance and can play on different types of players - Sean Wellman on melbournefc.com.au

I love Barts.

Seems like an absolute top bloke and has had a rotten year with luck. Had a fantastic debut season in '06 and was cruelled to miss out on playing finals.

Unfortunately, he will find it very difficult to maintain his spot.

All the best to Clint, the kind of goer you love to have at your club and wish all players could put in to the same extent.

Agree - "goer" he certainly is. Especially liked it that Bartram, like Dunn, played so much better when they came back to the team after being dropped to the Scorps for a few matches. Showed us that for both of them there might be a lot more upside to come. Top teams have reliable taggers who can nullify the opposition's best while giving their team some drive also, and we need at least two players with that ability - Bartram is right up there for that role, and his value to the team will increase hugely if he can pull it off. If not, then he'll be competing with a number of hard-at-it smaller players and his place in the team will be more vulnerable.

Pretty much echoing the comments made by most others - love his endeavour, seems to have a top attitude, and is a handy type of player to have at a club... But, I think he could certainly be a chance for a delisting or a trade (would anyone trade anything of any value for him? I really have no idea), and if he does stay, I think he will find it hard to play 15+ games next season, excluding a horrid injury count again. But fair play to you Clint, you give your all. And a tough year off the field with your dad dying too.

His skills really let him down, which makes it tough. Certainly a potential delist.

I'm surprised the Saints have shown interest, but with pretty average draft picks in a shallow pool they might be keen to pick up some 'fringe' players who they feel have untapped potential.

Those who want to keep him need to figure out who of guys like Buckley, Miller and Cheney they're happy to let go of instead.

When Barty burst on the scene i was mightily impressed with this kid.. ..wheres it gone ?? Very borderline as a retainer for mine.

caveat... Hes had a shocker of a year in many respeccts and on that basis I'll give him some largese but he will probably be kept if not traded and needs to do a mighty preseason and come out scalp taking.

Potentially he has the prospect ( and potential ) of taking over a Junior type role. He will need to become better poised and more of a clinical thinker and if so will be more than handy.

He'll be kep in this light unless really needed as part of some convoluted deal to secure a gun.

BArts will probably survive the cut as it isnt necessary to move him on this year. Thats more the case than why he ought to stay.

Will survive the cut at whose expense?

I severely doubt this. We still need to lose a few.

I'm surprised by these rumours that he's wanted by other clubs, but if he is, he'll end up at one of them.

I don't think you can count rookie-listed players in this equation...

They are places - places on the Rookie List.

You can't draft players out of the National Draft straight onto the Rookie list.

That just means we have to cut ANOTHER player on the Senior List to make room for him.

It does not mean there is an extra spot.

    DISCO INFERNO by Whispering Jack

    Two weeks ago, when the curtain came down on Melbourne’s game against the Brisbane Lions, the team trudged off the MCG looking tired and despondent at the end of a tough run of games played in quick succession. In the days that followed, the fans wanted answers about their team’s lamentable performance that night and foremost among their concerns was whether the loss was a one off result of fatigue or was it due to other factor(s) of far greater consequence.  As it turns out, the answer to

    TIGERS PUNT CASEY by KC from Casey

    The afternoon atmosphere at the Swinburne Centre was somewhat surreal as the game between Richmond VFL and the Casey Demons unfolded on what was really a normal work day for most Melburnians. The Yarra Park precinct marched to the rhythm of city life, the trains rolled by, pedestrians walked by with their dogs and the traffic on Punt Road and Brunton Avenue swirled past while inside the arena, a football battle ensued. And what a battle it was? The Tigers came in with a record of two wins f

    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.

    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
