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.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - COREY MAYNARD

It was highly unlikely we'd make any changes after last weekend, but I think this does 2 things. Firstly it says to Corey, well done champ, had a great game last week and you're building consistency. Keep it going and you'll get a run in the seniors soon enough, i.e. bash the door down champ! Secondly it fires a shot across the bow of those fringe players in this weeks line-up. If you don't perform, we have a lad here who is ready to have a red hot crack.

I have a feeling when he finally gets his chance, we're going to be seeing a lot of him.

It'll be refreshing hearing the commentators talk about his basketball background.

Great news for him. Can't see him getting a game before the end of the season, but let's him know he's still a shot at a list spot going forward.

Starting to worry about Benken now a bit though.

I also hope that commentators perpetually refer to his basketball career as per Brad Greens Manchester United Trial (yes, but not at a senior level), or Mark Blicavs Steeplechasing career

What is this (to me) unknown quantity going to bring to the side?

i think the main things is exactly what has dropped off in the last 5- weeks - manic pressure and attack. A goodwin player if i ever saw one - fierce at the ball, big bodies and loves the contest.

I'm not sure about his kicking though.

I'm guessing their strategy is to put GWS off their kicking game with immense pressure, forcing turnovers and transitioning into attack. Basically what we were doing in the first half of the year before injuries mounted up.

Maynard seems to be a high pressure player even if his disposal is iffy.

A Pies mate told me he was not good enough to be best 22, at the time we got him. Thought it might be sour grapes. Don't think so now.

Jeremy Howe a chance to be AA. That makes it a great trade.

Loved it, laughed when he was talking about being sore and Goody just casually says we need you  to come to Canberra to debut. I think Goodwin is a bit of a players man and a hugger. But happy to see the boys waiting for him and congratulating him.

    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
