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.


Garry Lyon must go.

Our club has always had a questionable culture. Now Jack Watts is being blamed for not making the finals. The Ox has has always maintained his rage. Mr  Lyon always makes excuses, and blames others. Look at Richmond, ex footballer who became laywer = chief exec. turned club around by trust. Mr Lyon became a celeb and enjoyed what came with it.

  

 I've read this about ten times over and still cannot decipher it. You must have had a few nose beers before you wrote this.

I did find Lyon frustrating this year when he suggested that any club looking for a new coach should look no further than our own Craig Jennings. I considered it inappropriate behaviour for a so-called "Melbourne man" as it was disrupting and had the potential to weaken the MFC. I understand that is his job, but we would never see K.B doing something similar.

In all honesty, I use to love him but he's since soured in my view. I just don't like listening to him on radio. I don't like listening to his "jock-like" attitude and how he treats the young Sam McClure (granted he's an adult and handles himself well). I also don't like how he sits on the fence. Sometimes he seems highly supportive of the MFC, while at other times his criticism can be toxic. I guess a lot of us feel the same with this MFC rollercoaster. In comparison, I look at (listen to) K.B, or previously Jim Stynes and Robbie Flower and it (the rollercoaster) didn't matter. They are/were one-eyed and supportive. They have/had an ability to constantly offer hope whilst uniting the club and fans. I just wish Lyon would use his media position/privilege a little better at times.

Now feel free to shoot me down, I know it's coming.

Perhaps he meant go from the media? Regardless, G Lyon is probably one of the most damaging ex-clubman going around. Unlike Richo who has an undying love for this former club and will never say a bad word about them, G Lyon thinks Melbourne were fortunate to have him and he's always the first to kick us when we're down in the media. To add further salt to the wound, he assisted with the hiring of Mark Neeld. 

Would we ask G Lyon to present the premiership cup next year? Hell no.

 Kevin Sheedy would have been a better fit at the time but Lyon disapproved.      Gary Dyon our club away.

We were, Lyon was a superstar and loyal. Got a huge offer to jump to Richmond when Swooper was coach and knocked it back. Easily one of the most talented and hard working players i have seen. It's a disgrace he is not in the AFL Hall of fame.

I wish Garry Lyon would just shut up. He says he barracks for the club so why on earth is he encouraging Fremantle to throw big money at Jesse Hogan. Without a Key Forward we will go backwards no Forwards. You can't expect Tom McDonald to turn into the sole Key Forward straight away. I just hope when we are ready to challenge for a premiership & we win one he is not asked to present it. This would be a bad look

Lyon is a [censored] that bags Watts at every opportunity, last time he interviewed Nate Jones started trying him to get Jones to bag him as well, can't stand the guy's voice. Roots his best mate's missus then pretends to have depression.

Why when you make sense. No shooting you down.

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
