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.

An excellent start to our ‘Membership volunteer” program.

13 vols on Monday night produced 29 new members & $3337 in revenue, then

8 vols on Tuesday night produced 39 new members & $4539 in revenue.

Thanks to Geoff, Geoff, Pete, Pete, Julian, Cheryl, John, Steve, Graham, Trish, Catherine, Daniel & Tim on Monday night, and

John, Geoff, Geoff. Pete, Pete, Trish, Roslyn & Heather re Tuesday night.

Our big picture plan is to write somewhere near to 1000 members over the coming 3 months (fingers Xd),

recognising that this figure effectively doubles with inbound calls from our messages left.

Two volunteers are heading off to the “Med’ next month, so if u can rustle up any replacement Demons .... it will be appreciated.

A great start. Geoff [email protected]

Great work guys... I'm assuming one of the Pete's is Saty (TDI)?

I think you'd be right. I'm pretty sure 'longsuffering' is another d'lander who regularly volunteers.

It's a great initiative - not only does it save the club money, but fellow supporters can be a lot more persuasive when trying to get lapsed members to re-sign than generic telemarketers who know nothing of the MFC and its delights and agonies.

Just out of interest for those the decry the lack of a Membership presence at certain places, the majority of the staff in Membership are just about to hit their 14th straight day in work

I bet they take long lunch breaks and knock off early, the slackers.

So what you are saying is that the club is understaffed and/or poorly organised when it comes to membership?

That's not like you to be critical. Maybe someone's hacked your account.

I'd call the mods.

Please don't read anyone's opinion that the club can be insular and short sighted as a slight on 'nineteen' and anyone, including yourself, that gives their time for the club.

Selling memberships isn't work, it's a privilege and more of a hobby. :)

Great job by the club and volunteers. A mate of mine was one of those who recieved a call and signed up. Excellent.

Btw, consecutive days worked doesn't mean that the club cannot take constructive criticism on board.

As long as it is that I agree, but for it to be that, it has to be based on fact not conjecture

I'm not bothering to get into that argument again, you can on your own if you wish chappy. Mine was from conversations on the day and subsequent emails from club membership which confirm the constructive criticisms were well based.

Hey Nineteen (just wanted to say that…),

    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
