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.

Jack Viney on the Mangarook Footy Show tonight.

Very composed. Captain worthy performance!  He said:

- Hogan loves playing with Dawes

- His pre season scuffle with TMc was because he thought Tommy was being a bit soft...could have been joking

- On the hunt for a puppy...like Bernie's mountain dog----->images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT2SA_ZeRF3L0oK_rE7wFC       Cute, eh? 

- Agreed with the singing of Wagner's praises.

- They accept making a few mistakes while learning and practice of 'our way of playing'.

- Roos pushed defence for 2 years and once we got that sorted we started an attacking game style in this pre-season

That is all I can remember...

As JV said it, I groaned for that reason. 

I guess if that is what the club thinks is best and it keeps Jesse happy so be it

It would probably be a cheaper option than buying him a gold mansion and filling it with naked ladies who feed him grapes all day

Superannuation maybe  to fill in for Hoges and the Weed when needed and mentor future forwards.

Watts rucking gives the Dawes vs Pedersen debate a whole new dimension.  The fact that Hogan (seemingly) sees himself as a better player with Dawes in the side would really only be a tie-breaker in the conversation though.

Yeah, but a lot less interesting. 

Know anyone who might apply? :)

I loved when Jack was asked about Prestia coming to the Dees next year, he started his reply with "well, I'm not in charge of list management obviously or I'd have given myself another contract by now"

Understood Rusty.  Wanted to mention JV's first class performance somewhere on DL and this thread title looked a good place.

Just remembered, JV also mentioned JKH...said he had a bad run of luck with injuries but when fit would be in best 22.  Good vote of confidence for JKH.

I know.

According to Jack, Bernie Vince has one hence my words like 'Bernie's mountain dog' and they showed a pic of Jack with the dog.  I googled Bernese Mountain Dog to get the pic in my post.  But I can see how my post could be read as you have.:rolleyes:

I know Dawes isn't great at clunking marks and doesn't kick a lot of goals, but he has great footy smarts and works insanely hard to create space for his team. 

Jesse would love one v one rather than three v one

Great City Bern

You think? No impressed how they have the Bears in a concrete pit, seems out of character with the Swiss in general.

Ever been there in winter, one cold old place.

    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
