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.

Not automatic top 22, but will be a good punt at the price we will have to pay. 

I've seen noting in his "highlights" than screams...must get.

Seems just another good VFL player..

Huge difference between mixing it up in the western carnival aka  the wawful, and being effective at AFL 

Hope the club isnt being too  rosey here. Still I suppose someone has to take BK's place  :rolleyes:

99% sure he will be a Demon in 2018.

Compared to Scott Pendlebury as a player and coached by Justin Plapp at Sandringham Dragons.

Looks like he played with one hand at times with his wrist injury before being drafted. All behind him now.

Dees have the inside edge here.

Pick 45.

At this point the only player not compared to Pendlebury as a junior was Pendlebury...

For those who haven't seen him play, the reason he's so highly rated as he just has time when he gets the ball in traffic. That's the Pendles comparison. His kicking was terrible but he's worked hard on improving it and it is quite good when not under pressure (not helpful). Doesn't have speed or break away speed like Oliver and Trac but does have serious Scully endurance. 

He is something different than what we have but considering we are a little slow at times and really we only have 4? Spaces on our list, maybe not the best fit.

Never seen him play.

Not sure if he has outside pace.

Certain his injury problems are over.

99% certain he is ours.

Gotta love this site at this time of year.:rolleyes:

Nah! Never seen him play. Watched a few u18 highlights just b4 my most recent post though. 

I dont think I mentioned anything about outside pace. Do you mean outside run? Maybe I was referring too run and carry. ?

Yeah he said he was over his wrist injury in the video I watched. He sounds like an honest lad. And yes I believe him.

In my opinion after a little research and connecting the dots. Yes I believe he is now going to be a Demon. I found an extra 1%. 

99%+1%= 100%

Welcome Harley Demon! Brrrm brrrm...

Look at what you said.

"If hes that bloody good why is he getting away ?

Both are using the homesick reason and both are getting away. So therefore Lever is mentally brittle. You never said anything about how many games they played, you just called him out because of "getting away, being homesick and therefore being mentally brittle".

I thought you knew something of football. That youd trot out such an assinine comparison quite frankly beggars belief. The background and qualifications to both circumstances couldn't be more different than chalk and cheese.

You are allowed to admit you are wrong at least once, it is not too difficult.

Stop changing the goalposts by bringing in new criteria.

You made a statement, so stand by it. 

You also don't need to try and belittle my footy knowledge, inferring I know nothing about the game,  it doesn't help your position or win an argument.

You chose to change the nature of the context and you full well know it.

One has used his 'homesickness' to facilitate 'indefinite leave'  . The other's simply an old ruse. You know it.

One has the application to to job and club of moment to do his job as vesr he can. The other...god knows. All too much.

If you choose to make argument..do it properly. Dont posey pick to suit. Youve been caught out. Sort ofstuff a cheap tabloid would employ.

As to admitting wrong. When ever your ready.

He's another one who probably couldn't hurt to take with a late pick.  He's had a lot of injuries but he's meant to be a decent ball-user.  Is he any worse than some of our fringe players?  Worst case we give up a pick in the 50s for a Casey player.  No big deal. 

He's probably a better option than Kennedy, JKH etc as depth with the chance he could become best 22. Worth a punt for a later round pick for sure.

Is he any better? Not entirely sure what the upside is in taking him. Some great players have been picked up in the third round. He's not going to one of them if he can't crack it for regular Freo games.

Or even free up a spot for category B players like Maynard and Smith, who've both shown early signs of potentially cracking into best 22.

We should only be trading for players who you could imagine playing round 1 in the seniors next year.

    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
