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.

Perhaps this is a little premature, but what are your early wishes for the 2017 fixture?

Mine would have to be:

1. St.Kilda at the MCG (so we can beat that hoodoo)

2. Geelong at the MCG (haven't played them there since 2014)

3. West Coast at the MCG (last time was round 2 2014)

4. Richmond twice

5. Essendon round 1 Friday night (saw that Essendon was proposing this. I think it'd be an awesome way to start 2017 with a win at the G on a Friday night)

Wouldn't mind starting with Hawthorn at the G on a Friday night. The old guard V the new. Get them early in the season too.

Anzac Eve Tigers plus return Friday night match

QB V Pies with a 2pm Saturday return match

Bye after Darwin match

No Geelong at Geelong. Time for others to go there

Home game V Bombers with us in our proper jumper

Some fairness in home game schedule V big Vic clubs

Last game of the year at the G

13 G games

I want to see every side get at least one home game on a Friday and a Saturday night.

I want us to not play ANY home games at Etihad. 

We have two marquee games in Queens Birthday and ANZAC eve, so we're ok there. 

With our ladder position we should see two matches against Richmond, Collingwood, St Kilda, GCS, North or Port.  Something around that range. 

If we saw something like this I'd be pretty happy.

My biggest bugbear with the fixture is that everybody wants to play Friday night games and very few clubs want to play Sunday afternoon games.

So wouldn't it make sense to schedule two games each Friday night and reduce the three game Sunday arvo commitments to just two games.

That way you could even decide mid-season which Friday night game is on free-to-air and which is not and the chances of primetime massacres are reduced - remember Carlton in 2015.

If that were the case then I'd like us to have five Friday nights, five Saturday arvos, five Saturday nights, five Sundays arvos, one Monday (QB v Coll) and one Anzac Eve (v Rich).

I've got no problem with teams earning the right to play on Friday night as long as its consistent. Consistent being Richmond miss out next year and Collingwood are rained in.

Probably thinking too much about this but what if you had finish say top 10 to get a Friday night game. Wouldn't be a popular idea but on the whole there was a lot of junk games this year.

my wish is that essendrugs are not gifted the softest and most financialy attractivel draw of all clubs

i have zero confidence this will happen however

 

This will 100% happen.  Along with the Cats who get the easiest draw every single season.

I'd like to play Essendon at the MCG on Sunday 1 May. Why? Because Anzac Day falls on a Tuesday in 2017 meaning Collingwood and Essendon will only get a five day break if the AFL ensures all teams play the next round on the traditional Friday/Saturday/Sunday slots. I'd also be happy if it were to be Collingwood, but given we play them on QB, I assume playing them in May would be less likely.

No "home" games at Doglands, and particularly no home games there vs clubs whose home is at that soulless hole

A bye after Darwin - fair for both teams involved. 

Home game v drug cheats but not round 1 when they will be "buoyed by the return of the victims of injustice". 

More Friday night G games than those who finished below us in 2016 NB Collingwood, Richmond, Carltank and EssUndone

No playing Geelong in Geelong

Any home game at Etihad is to be a Friday Night game so as to make the most of having to play there.  Against Adelaide I guess?

No Friday Night games for Essendon.

Keep ANZAC Day Eve.

Saints at the MCG

Bye after Darwin.

    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
