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.

Such a better effort than last week.

Tyson, Jones and Vince were enormous.  Gawn was good in the ruck and I felt like our backline played pretty well under the circumstances.

Our small forwards, however, were poor again.  Kent was better but I felt like Harmes had minimal impact and Garlett was woeful.

Trengove and Dawes will also be better for the run, and both make us a better side.

8 day break until we get to beat the Pies for the second time this year.

Mate Dawes was our second worst on field behind Garlett. Get your facts right and look at the stats.

Ben Ken would've had a much bigger impact then Dawes if playing.

Thought frost had some good moments, watts was very competitive. Dawes will be better for the run. Competed well on a rubbish day. Trengove got better as the game went on. Tyson Vince and Jones were great, but just couldn't get going in the last quarter.

We know we are getting closer which while frustrating, looks good for the future. But I really felt we needed to win that for reward for effort. To destroy the reigning premiers in clearances and contested disposal is a positive. Just run out of gas.

Stats tell everything, do they?  He competed hard and provided a contest all day.  He might not have clunked a few but I didn't see him drop any sitters.  The Hawthorn defence played him well.

At least I won't be making any ludicrious assumptions like you do.  Maybe if we played a Robbie Flower in his prime, or brought back '94 Ox and we would have won?  Please.

Chris Dawes cannot play again. His inability to take marks directly resulted in 4 goals that I counted. Absolute disgrace.

Look I don't know what you watched, he presented well in a horrid day for tall forwards. We went to him and he competed. Not sure if you noticed but hogan gawn and watts all didn't take a lot of contested marks...

So…how long till we can start blaming Trengove for our losses again? Because I'm getting ready to start finding a new bunch of scapegoats. McDonald and the Umpires are getting boring.

It will be Dawes until he can take a mark

Love to know goals from turnovers...

Dawes didn't cost us the game, but pedo marks a few and kicks the odd goal. Pedo must come in next week.

Back line looked small...

Their 3 last quarter goals resulted from direct turnovers by us.

People saying Dawes played bad obviously don't know much about footy. 

If Tom McDonald want to earn the big bucks he needs to pick up his game dramatically. 

Tyson and Vince know how to play wet weather footy.

Tmac should never try and pick the ball up in th wet. So so poor.

Jeffy should never play if it's wet, Stretch and Harmes were not great either.  Can Hogan actually tackle? He is worse than Watts use to be, he doesn't even try and tackle.

When he was being tackled and arms chopped? Should have got at least 2 important frees

Roos needs to say at the presser that those pr1cks got all those head high frees from ducking. That one in the goal square in the last quarter when scores were level was a disgrace. One point in those conditions was enough to kill the game.

McDonald can start by picking up the footy, unbelievable how he is so bad at it.

Could see clearly that Tmac fumbled when a player was running at him from the front - footsteps more than once -man up and take the hit and the ball Tommy .

Hate losing to that [censored] club!

Effort was there & played great footy, but dumb mistakes continue eg not punching & trying to mark in the backline Ffs that should be non negotioble, too many touches need to get it fwd faster in the wet!

Exp counted Average games 125 vs 63

    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
