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.

The long suffering Demon in me asks "can they put in four quarters today?"

I guess we will know in an hour or so.

Any word on Jetta? Didn't look good going into half time.

He is easily one of our most important players and was giving stringer fits before coming off the ground.

If JoeBoy gives his usual spiel about Tyson 'butchering' the ball, he loses the right to write his 3 word analysis. His kicking has been spot on today.

Enjoying Oscar's work so far. Clearly has worked on his kicking and decision making. Still needs to bulk up though.

I don't mind your input. I see your point... but we need mongrel and pricks like that. We were pushed around for a decade. It's good to see us push back.

Today is the "strongest" I've seen Melbourne for years, not backing down etc

That's why Buggs flop stood out so much.

The whole way he blindsided Wood then took a fall was really ordinary in my opinion.

You guys have got them on the ropes by playing good strong football and not taking any sh!t, no need for Buggs antics.

Tommy Bugg was named on the ground this week, not on the bench which is where he often appears.  That told me the coaching staff liked his game style last week. Today he's taking it a notch higher, but to me it's lifting the team and bringing results.

It may be unsociable, but I've hated being everyone's biatch for way too long now.

There have been a few dodgy decisions our way, but the Dogs have had a few too.  Free kicks are 13-13 so we haven't been given that much of a rub.  The sooky sooky la la Dogs fans make it worse than it looks.

The frees have gone our way because we are first to the ball - has been one of our problems with the umps in the past.

Fair enough. I can only go by what I hear on the radio up here in NSW. I'll no doubt see it later.

I'm lucky my dees bet has paid out because we were over 24 points in front. But I think it will be a very very close match. Certainly not a gimme.

I thought it was just me that was noticing them sook up wise. Jeez they are getting stuc into Wattsy for no good reason. They win one flag and now they are a vocal bunch. They are just used to getting the rub and don't like it when it doesn't go their way!

Obviously you guys are loving Bugg, but that was pathetic. Blind sides Easton Wood, then goes down far to easy for a free shot at goal.

Guess you can say it's smart play, but I don't think anyone wants that sort of behaviour or play rewarded with a goal.

But other than that, you guys are all over them and will win this.

Doggies in real strife in missing out on the finals 

Blame the umpire.

Melksham is playing on Johannisen who takes the Bulldogs kickouts and he's had 6 disposals.

We've kicked 8.6

Think about that for a second

You don't get a disposal from kick ins as far as I'm aware. 

EDIT but great work from Melksham!

    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
