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.

Really really impressed with Stretch. Has been good the last month but really took it to another level today. Loved him on the wing, and is a lot stronger than his frame suggests.

Good kick, good speed, nice hands. A big fan. Definitely didn't think we'll see much of him this year, and have been pleasantly surprise. A nice F/S pick up!

6 - Jones ( defied suggestions of injury to return to inspiring best )

5 - Viney ( tough, uncompromising and took right options today )

4 - Salem ( smooth as silk and classy disposal )

3 - Gawn ( dominated the centre bounces as he should )

2 - Hogan ( gave the team confidence with his ruthless attack on the ball )

1 - Harmes ( took some great marks and showed class)

Apologies to T.McDonald and to Brayshaw for a great second half

Can't believe so few votes for Hogan. More than anyone else, he was the difference. Just having him there as a target changes how the mids play, and how the ball comes into the forward line.

I didn't attend the game and only watched the replay last night, so I will not cast votes. However, I am surprised that Howe hasn't scored a vote as yet. Thought he played a good game but, admittedly, there are a few you could raffle for the last one or two in a given selection of six.

I gather you don't think Hogan has a future.

At least 10 players worthy of votes compared to 3-4 of previous three weeks.

6 Gawn - yes I know he was rucking against a no-name kid, but how good was his service. We were spanked in middle last time in Rd 2. Not this time.

5 Viney - every week i enjoy reading the pressure acts column and he's way above everyone else. In the third term when we won it, he was everywhere.

4 T.Mac - Almost back to his early season best. Beat Cameron and still provided run from defence.

3 Jones - How good was his kicking. I can't believe the tossers that question this area. He's the best pass in the side.

2 Salem - As I've said for some time now - we need his left foot down back. The most crucial player in team aside from Gawn and Hogan. At least now we have another option in White.

1 Hogan - He was on from the start and seemed to love all the Inside 50m entries that happen when you are playing a glorified exhibition game.

Why no Vince and Cross.

Vince - He was very good but his direct opponent Ward was clearly the best GWS player.

Cross - Even he can't remember anything he did!

    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
