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.

Why wouldn't they have it the following week. I would love to take my kids but that day is their last day of school for them. I'm assuming many others would be in a similar boat. 

It's the last training for the year. They can't have it the next week! It's a shame it isn't the Saturday or even 3pm on the Friday so people could take the arvo off, but I guess they are trying to stick to their routine and get the year done before the players break for 2 weeks.

Take the kids out of school in the morning and return them at lunch time?

I'm bringing tofu burgers and vege kebabs in case Moonshadow rides in on his biodiesel scooter.

Can we bring wine?

Surely Saty is a shoo in for Santa with that beard. Though the kiddies may be somewhat bemused to see Santa arriving on a scooter than on a reindeer led sleigh.

He will need to stuff a number of pillows under the red outfit. Saty is quite slim.

Don't forget the deconstructed latte Biff.

For you I'll bring some burnt lamb chops, a six pack of VB tinnies and 2 points of goey. 

That is, if you actually show up.

Sorry no brioche, tofu or vege sausages but delicately flavoured and cooked snags and white bread. Club might go the whole way and offer brown bread as an alternative to white. No expense spared.

 

Stick it then.

This is the MFC .

Not some dirty suburban cultural wasteland.

If we don't have 7 different types of organic sausage I'm going to my own sausage party.

I expect a rocket and Parmesan salad with a balsamic vinaigrette at the very least as a side.

This is Gosches paddock after all, not  the Burmese railway .

Care to rephrase that Biff?

Surely you would add some more greens, then you could have a Parmesan vinaigrette instead, I find when the BBQ is on at Gosch's,  a nice little sachet of Worcestershire sauce that I carry with me, gives my sausage that extra lift

Worcestershire and HP are sauces usually preferred by ten pound poms.

If we're going to do this properly we need some beetroot chutney and some olives stuffed with goats cheese.

I'm thinking a Semillon or Pinot Gris might be ideal.

No pork pies please Saty.

Biff, arrived here Business Class on Singapore Airlines, begged them to let me stay as a political refugee, escaping the impending era of Thatcher, thankfully they relented.

Discovered Chiko rolls, Aussie Rules and a mini skirted young female CBA employee in the first few weeks I was here and I was hooked

Haven't managed to find a decent pork pie in all the years i have been here, they never get the jelly quite right, closest was in Brisbane

Never been a wine man myself, prefer a nice cold McCrackens

Arrived with my grandkids for the penultimate session of the year.

Smell of the barbie is magnificent.

Good crowd (but there are some strange characters out here :o).

Looking forward to your scintillating reports, Jack!

    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
