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.

6 - Howe ( excellent disposal , regularly broke the lines )

5 - McDonald ( was the mainstay of defence and was rarely beaten 1 on 1 )

4 - Jetta ( easily beat his opponent but his disposal was erratic )

3 - Jones ( prolific, but ignored first options , at the team's expense)

2 - Tyson ( read comments for Jones)

1 - Dunn ( rarely made an error )

Kent maybe unlucky to miss out. Kicked 2.3 today and looked dangerous. He needs to learn when it's the right time to have a shot or pass the ball to a teammate.

1. Not deserving to anyone but Frawley I guess

Fan, I know Bail tries but come on..

17 kicks, 4 tackles, countless pressure acts and ran forever. He played his role as well as most and got my votes for that. But you're right. I notice him because I like him. He was much better than most here recognize and not as good as I saw. Edited by Baghdad Bob

Were you guys at the game? Serious question. Dunn gave his opponents so much room and trailed them to the ball all day. He had a shocker IMO.

6. Jones

5. Tyson

4. McDonald

3. Bail

2. Howe

1. Jetta

Agreed.

Dunn's worst performance of the season against an absolute nobody opponent.

I watched Bail today and clearly you're a fan, Fan and I'm not. IMO he had 3 effective disposals (that I saw) and for the most part, made poor decisions, had ordinary disposal and took the second and inevitably wrong option. If he took the first option, we might see a different player. They were the negatives, the positives were the tackling, pressure and he kicked a nice goal (from a free). Not in my votes.

He runs hard and tries hard but turns it over more often than not. A lot of times today I found between opponents when he pushed back rather than actually accountable. I know this could have been instruction but didn;t appear to be. Jetta smashed his opponent, went hard hard all day and used the ball well. His effort is reason to have him as a backup but he needs to be out of our best 22 sooner rather than later.

6.Howe - nullified Zorko but also found the pill and generally used it well big positive for us in 2014

5.T Mac - should never be the sweeping player setting up rebound or playing anchorman role but he does his job as a one on one defender.

4.Jetta - continued his dominance over direct opponent and gave the dangerous Green an absolute bath

3. Jones - willed himself as usual through the second and third quarters when we really should have taken the initiative and took the game on a bit more

2. Tyson - like Jones got his hands on the pill winning the hard ball and capped it off with scoreboard pressure continues to impress me

1.Frawley - presented an option and held his marks, should have applied greater scoreboard pressure, but at least you flew the Flag in the Pedersen/Merrett incident

surprised I'm the only one that gave Terlich a (single) vote.. he only made one trademark error as I recall and most of the time was pretty solid. Think he is one of those players whose reputation precedes him, in a bad way

He was close C & B but I think his last quarter saw him fall out a lot of errors made, whilst not totally catastrophic they stopped momentum going forward. He certainly was not in the worst 12-15 out there for us today

    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
