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.

Reporting in from up in the hills of Indonesia en route to Europe. Ill try and get on when i can and when i have a connection.

Had a bit of a look and i think i cant go past ....opps just had a power blackout.......Flemington Race 8 No 3 Native Soldier $3.20

Not much else in the race and a good price.

Cant get through to Ladbrokes for some reason? I may just have to be there in spirit this week

Good choice Wadda ... was tossing up between Native Soldier & Cliff's Edge and then saw the place odds for Cliff's Edge and that swayed me.  Seemed overs for such a classy galloper.  And Native Soldier has real speed and is getting better.  A good 'Get-On'

Enjoy your trip mate ... we'll be barracking hard here for the Demons tomorrow night.  Most people I've spoken to have tipped us so we're in with more than a chance.

Thanks very much Macca, its well overdue, 4 years since i last ventured anywhere interesting. Pity i cant go to the footy, but i figure that will be just another reason they will keep winning!  Both good horses  there i think also. Lets hope we have a better week than last weeks debacle

Santos was certainly unlucky, kept in a pocket and didn’t see daylight. Wouldn’t completely say he was a certainty beaten as the bolter did finish off the race with a barnstorming run.

And Cliff's Edge couldn't get out after having the perfect run ... not to worry,  the win last night makes up for any losses today.  Still, there's a ways to go today DZ

Apologies for lateness. My best is fighting harada at morpehitville. Race 2 no 1.

Scratched at the barrier BM ... the horse can't take a trick!

With Fighting Harada out I had a bit on 'Brutal' instead ... fought extremely hard to the line and won.  Looks a very likely type leading all the way with the long straight involved.

Casey playing well in the Prelim ... keep the wins coming! ?

Phew, I Am A Star by a wart as the racecaller mentioned. A tad in front now after a little each way on the horse. I got $8 fixed but it blew out to $10, won’t complain though.

Winx....what more can we say.

Winx just way too good for that field ... the Turnball Stakes & Cox Plate awaits but the mighty mare is as good as ever.  Hard to see Winx getting beaten and there is talk that the connections might continue on to the Sydney Autumn.  Why not?

Nice collect for you DZ with 'I Am a Star' ... it was due but the odds were attractive.

Casey need to get a wriggle on

 Cheers Macca.

Loved her last 100m, she was revving it up nicely!

Casey are struggling at the moment Macca. Time to put our coaches hats on, Bombers seem quicker through the middle, maybe we should try Jeffy for a few quick stints in there??

We need to something ... the loser goes home.

Now playing with house money after landing the trifecta with Miss Fabulass.  The 'Frankel' filly looks to have a big future.  A huge turn of foot. 

Wonder if Singo has shouted the bar yet?  He's got a nice horse for the future!

Santos in the Golden Rose. As we’ve said previously, the horse was unlucky last start and some weren’t too happy with the ride Macca. $16 is about the right price, some young guns competing.

Good odds for Ellicazoom DZ ... I'm a fan and the horse is from the Hayes clan as well.  Big fields at Caulfield so the dividends will be up - especially for trifecta punters like me. 

I've included 'Santos' in a Box5 trifecta as well as 'Seabrook' at good odds.  Santos just needs a good possie on the pace and we know how well Seabrook can finish.

Haven’t heard anything about Santos yet. Will try and post the latest if I can. I think he’s a sneaky chance at odds. Having a ball here at the moment, met Allen Jakovich and his brother at a pub a short time ago. Amazing, they had a beer with us and had us in stitches.

Hey hey......reporting in from cloudy Amsterdam. The match is going to be on at 7.30am here so that will be a new one.

Best Bet:

Caulfield Race 8 No 4 Osborne Bulls $6.00

This horse is probably a group horse in the making and this is a test. The bad thing is its a big race with 19 starters, but i think it can win. If not the place is paying 2.70 so each way all day.

Go Dees.

Combined odds 85-1 (100-1 Boosted)

    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
