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.

Loved that game from Toumpas. For me the only mistake that gets to me is the shot he had on goal while on the boundary when there options in board. Got a bit carried away there. But he was hard and classy today. Used it well. Hope he stays in the team all year and really works into some consistent footy.

Vandenberg had huge presence in the midfield in the same way as Nat Fyfe. The way he just physically barges his way through packs and brushes off opponents with ease is something I have never seen for a long long time. Todd Viney maybe?

Riley can be the sub for the rest of the year if he keeps impacting like that. The guy is nutter1

Hogan just makes me moist.

Loving Fitzy owning the million dollar man! Surprisingly showed some poise too.

Jake Spencer was HUUGE! Best game by far in his career.

My man TOUUMP!!! Showed some real gut running effort and real class with his foot skills. This game should give him enormous confidence boost he needs.

Pedo is a gun. Dawes can stay in the VFL for all I care if Pedo keeps playing like this.

And to think we won without Tyson, Jetta, Viney, Frost, Trengove, Salem, Petracca Kent JKH... The future looks bloody good!

Hands up who said we wouldn't win.

Hand in the air

And it is so sore from hi five-ing everyone around me.

Spencer today played well gave us first use of the ball in the first half.

They played him differently in the third quarter and lowed his colours but he came back well in the last.

Never gave up alkl day and did a few nice things around the ground.

Di more around the ground than Jamar did in the first five games.

Now for Port in the Alice

Makes it easier to change a winning formula!

In Viney, Jetta

Out: Bail, M Jones (inj)

When Bail had that set shot at the end of the last quarter I knew he was going to shank it. He just can't impose himself I've seen it 2 many times. Whereas Garlett & Vince had very difficult shots that that they nailed. Different class Bail delist material.

Is Toumpas the only player that's not allowed to make mistakes?

Exactly. The captain made a couple of absolute shockers again that cost us goals. Toumpas is a lovely kick, he just needs to show a lot more composure at times.

Finally, there is no chat here about Watts' mistakes...probably because he didn't make any :rolleyes:

He played fairly well I thought.

Not high possessions but he made each one count. Took his time and waited for the right option then made perfect passes.

Helped set up a few goals.

I really liked that in the pregame interview Roos gave him a bit of praise with: 'We need Jack's skills and class...you don't miss someone until they are not there and last week we missed him...glad he is back' or words like that.

A few more games like that and people won't be so critical.

I hope purple was watching, having made such a d... of himself with his stupid comments!

I think Lamumba will have to improve to hold his spot when Salem is over his injury.

His form is very ordinary.

Paul Roos disagrees with this

Roos: I thought (Lumumba) was just outstanding around the contest and spoiling - we just want everyone playing their role.

I thought the "Pig Dog" was sensational the last quarter his run down and tackling pressure were exactly what was required ! He stays in at the expense of Bail or Matt Jones!

Bail & Jones did their jobs. If you'd seen much of Footscray this year you'd know that so much of the Dog's attack this season has been generated by the run & distribution off half back by Murphy, Johanniesen & Wood. Our two "spuds" significantly reduced their impact. Good planning from Roos.

I thought Dunn had a good game too.

In the nicest possible way I am glad Tommy Mc wasn't best for us.

He played well but it means others carried their fair share of the burden.

With Jetta and Viney set to come in for obviously Bail and Jones.

Who goes out for Tyson?

It was a ghood win dd but lets not get too carried away. It was a win against the Dogs.

Also What makes you think Tyson will be available next week and Jetta has missed a few he might need a run at Casy next week.

    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
