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.

I see this as the third season defining game for us so far this season. I hope this is the game in which we define. 

Can you define 'define'?

Somewhere out in the red heart of the country there a 22 men searching for the meaning of the term "season defining".

I wish them well.

That was last week.

Defined as not good enough

I've had a good read on them the last month but I have absolutely no idea what to expect today, I wouldn't be surprised by a 10 goal win or a loss. 

Neither would Nostradamus.

Possibly ,for mine  , the most perplexing frustrating aspect about today is i have absolutely no idea what to really expect. What I should be expecting is a 'stung' Demons going out before a pseudo home crowd and thoroughly trounce the coasters as a statement.

What will happen ? Anyone's guess. 

MFC...we really ought to be past this by now !!

Every season defining game this year we have failed miserably, no expectation today as usually ends in disappointment. Sad I know, but that's Melbourne.

Even work colleagues still bag our side as flakey, which is true.

Lets see which Melbourne decide to show up today!!!

Really worried about Lynch and or Wright today. No doubt the suns will target Oscar's match up and exploit that as much as possible. Hoping our mids can be applying relentless pressure on their mid's so the delivery inside 50 can be shocking and get the ball to hit the ground and effectivly take their talls out of the game.

Also noticed Weed is an emergency and Watts is listed as on the bench... could we see a late change? Jack seemed a bit off last week might be carrying something?

I won't be able to watch today because I'm kindly doing some gardening for my dear old grandma...so if we somehow put 4 quarters together you'll all know it was my fault all along.

Having said that, I didn't watch the Freo game either and that didn't help much.

Well, the first 9 chapters of "The Journey" have been intriguing to say the least. I will read chapter 10 later on this afternoon.

Even if the reading is positive, do I return  the book in the fiction or non fiction section of the library? 

I love this club but I must admit my head is messed up to the point where I can't feel the slightest bit of confidence sometimes.

Usual game day discomfort deep in my gut. Glad I have a fence to fix if I can't stand watching the game. This season is really starting to get to me.

    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
