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 don't know how Sarah Jones gets a gig on Fox Footy.  Is as wooden as a splinter, and picks the wrong adjective and too often is quite repetitive.  Like Sandy, just cringeworthy.  Who does she know

Daisy Pearce is A1, and better than most blokes actually.  Mel McLaughlin is a bit blokey, but could pull anything off.

Kelly Underwood is just OK.

Sam Lane - predictable, but not as much as Lingy.

 

 

 

Daisy and Mel for me; and maybe Tiffany Cherry.

 

 

(Apologies if any of the above is viewed as sexist)

If Demonland can be likened to a pub, and I believe it can, you are the old codger in the corner of the bar more interested in hearing his own voice than the footy.

But I will stop for a chat on the way to the pisser...

Not sexist and fair chat if you have a similar thread for ex-footy players who struggle to put words in front of other words to make coherent sentences. Or talk about the fact the biggest footy journo in the country (Head footy writer for the Hun) would be more at home in the latest planet of the apes movie...

Apologies if anyone thinks I am being primate-ist...

I will take a good woman commentator any day over some of these ex players. Just because you have played the game at the top level does not mean you can commentate!

You're spot on, I caught 20 minutes of last nights Doggies-Gold Coast game on the radio and Daisys commentary was better than any of the male commentary on TV. In fact she really stood out, shes very articulate and a quick thinker.

Listening to her and then thinking of BT/Darcy/McAvaney/Dwayne and the like made me cringe at how truly horrific they are.

Good post.

I for one will welcome the day when the blokey, misogynist, sexist, mindless ranting coming from all commentary boxes is replaced by more articulate women who enlighten us with their well considered thoughts on the game. The current trend of women commentating on the game is welcomed by this poster. 

And agree, Daisy is superb and I am rapt she is associated with our great club.

This is what you post after a superb win. Uneffinbelievable. Who really cares.Once again physio, a total irrelevance.

I get that you are the dour tagger at demonland.  Problem is your opponent usually has 23 disposals and 4 goals... to half time.

 

Time to go back to the magoos (flame or big footy or stalkbook) and reinvent yourself.  Nothing more useless and irrelevant than a towelled-up tagger.

✔Seriously, should anyone be allowed to post on this forum that publicly declares his insatiable desire for Daisy and Co? This his first thought after a momentous Demon victory. Pedant.

Mel is from Sydney and not a footy commentator.

Read my thread starter.  She could do anything.  Soccer...cricket...lawn bowls.

 

Give her 5 minutes and she'll know more than Robbo and Sarah Jones combined.

She probably knows more than Robbo now.

Correction.  No "probably" about it.

I actually don't mind most commentators, even BT. The only one who gets under my skin is Dwayne Russell for his clear anti Dees bias. I was listening to the radio on the weekend and both commentators were women. I dont care what sex they are as long as I can understand the footy, and they have some ability with the English language. 

Now the door is open to whoever wants to commentate, we will see more women invovled.

    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
