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.

And the Saints still rely on both of them, proving they are fools gold and a team going nowhere.

Also Callum Sinclair is gonna kick 10 goals on them.

Classic St.Failure.

Still think saints are capable of beating  top 8 sides, hope we don't get them on one of their "on"days. 

Membery is a huge out for them especially with Bruce down on last year and Nick on the decline.

I wish we had their composure, it's what sets them apart from us.

I'd like us to play them with a full team. Wouldn't be the game we saw the other week.

Plus a full list and not off 3 consecutive 6 day breaks. That match was always an uphill battle.

Saints proving to be mediocre to the extreme. I don't rate their list or youth at all, so it's heartening to see them continue to wallow in No Man's Land. Not sure I'm a fan of the alternative though (Sydney going above us on the ladder).

We would certainly be better, I think we play with more guts while they have the polish.

The worst part however would be how they still would shimmy and shake around our attempted tackles.

And Sinclair kicking 12.

Good week to have won, that's for sure.  If Richmond beat GWS we'll remain parked in 7th, where we started the round, with Sydney pulling ahead on percentage.  If we'd lost we'd be 8th and a game behind our main opponents, and a thrashing would have put us out of the 8.

One game separates 4th and 11th. It really is a nuts season.

Great night for Saints fans.

Their % and finals chances took another hit, and their Hawthorn pick fell another spot when they were convinced just  a few weeks ago it would be a top 3 pick at worst (currently #7).

Exactly....just having a look at the ladder we could have easily gone to 11th, and that could have had an effect on the team perhaps, esp going into next week. Will be interesting to see how GWS go today. Theyve only won 1 game out last 10 played at the G. Against us of course!

No they shouldn't, not yet. Who have they beaten? Yes they're a good side but the only good sides they have played in their 10 wins out 11 games were the Giants and us. Both teams at the time had significant injuries which could of quite easily reversed the result. 3 out of their next 4 weeks they face Hawks (MCG), Cats (Simmonds) and Crows (Adelaide oval), if they win those 3 then yes they deserve to be premiership favourites, if they lose those games the last 11 weeks counts for nothing. They would go into finals with a question mark hanging over them.

If GWS play like this in two weeks then we will already be 5 goals up by this stage.

    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
