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.

Thought I'd start a thread acknowledging Bernie who is set to play his 200th game this weekend.

Fittingly it will be against his old club who he played 129 of those games for.

He has been a great leader for this club since joining and I think took his footy to a new level.

I'd like to see Bernie finish his career playing more forward than back as I think he would be more damaging there.

Well done to Bernie.  He seems quite a character.  His best is very good.  Haven't seen a lot of it lately, but hoping he's given more time in the midfield and up forward in coming weeks, and he rediscovers his best.

Fitting that he plays his 200th against his old team.  Just hope he is part of a winning team on the day.  That would be special!

He has been a good player no one gets to 200 AFL games if they a dill. 

Sadly however he is IMO close to the end nowhere near the player he was in 2015 and the first part of 2016.

Respectfully disagree old dee.  I think his game against the Saints shows he still has it.  I think it's just about finding the right role for him.  A high half forward might be his best position if he lowers his eyes in delivering it inside 50.  I don't mind him off half back (not deep), but only if we have the run and spread to give him the targets.  Watching him try and force things is where I think he gets found out / turns it over.

Well done Bernie. Just play him in the midfield and not down back.

Been a very good player for us, and asked to do jobs he may not be suited to personally.

He is definitely one of the guys helping to lift us off the bottom, and we can't take that for granted. Sanderson didn't want him and he was our gift for Silvia leaving.

Sanderson did not want him, but most Crows supporters did.  Greatly liked in Adelaide town.

Has been a great acquisition for us.  Like others I prefer to see him in the midfield or down forward.

Wait, this will be his 71st MFC game? Jesus wept, that's gone bloody fast.

Would absolutely love to see Bernie make it to 100 MFC games, and I reckon he will. Inspired recruiting at a good price. An absolute gift from Sando - he's added plenty since he's been here and still has plenty to offer hopefully.

Onya Bernie!

It's debatable whether we should have put more money on the table to keep Col Silvia or use the pick we got from Freo for Bernie. I reckon Col was only 1 full pre-season from Brownlow contention, but I guess we will never know.

Loved that Bernie took Damian Barrett's glasses while standing at the urinal.

He looks like an demented ice addict about to rob a 7/11 in a broken Ronald McDonald mask.

He is so ugly he should wear a hijab in public.

So I take it you didn't vote for him when the hottest player survey came out?

Congrats Bernie, like a few others I'm a little taken aback at how many games he's played for us. He's definitely a Demon now!

I'd like to see him return doing a run with role this weekend, ever since he had his foot trodden on he doesn't seem to have that killer kick down back which is one of the key factors for him being there.

I'm actually wondering if the AFL didn't do all they could to pre-script his 200th against the Crows this week? I'm also wondering if the MFC isn't keeping him out of the midfield to a) pregerence the development of our young players in there and b) manage Benie for the times we really need that extra output?

Anyways, hope he breaks free of the schackles a bit and puts in one of his blinder performances.  Came to us and offered so much when we were desperate for players to stand up and be competitive and I will never forget those first few years and that role he played for us.  Total legend Bernie - give em Crows hell mate, your well and truly one of us now!

    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
