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.

Cause for optimism?

I had some free time and called SEN yesterday to specifically ask David Schwarz one question that’s been nagging me for years.

I know he has a son and was wondering ( hoping ) if he had the makings of a prospective father/son nomination in a few years time 

David was very honest and admitted that whilst his son played football , he was only 12 and pencil thin , thus not monstering opponents yet .

On the positive side he WAS projected to grow to 6’6” ( in the old measurements ) and The Ox hoped he’d be good enough to play for the mighty Dees eventually.

We can live and dream? because realistically there’s no other superstars in the recent history of the club that we can hope for similarly gifted offspring.

That’s what I like about the ox he says it as it is with no sugar coating it. 

Hopefully his son comes on in a big way for us.

Hopefully he comes on for himself and Theox - whether it’s football or something else I hope he does well. Theox was one of my all time favorites and I just hope his son has more luck than he did - not exactly an easy path

if he was able to play for our beloved team that would amazing

What a champ was the Ox.

Tall, mobile, great mark, great kick.Supreme  talent curtailed by injury.

No wonder Collingwood offered him a fortune to change. But he remained a Demon.

Still is a Demon.

 

Ron Barassi offered him 1mil to join the Swans in the toilets at the Brownlow.

Our Schwarzenegger was a champion.  

In 1994, he was as good as Carey. And Carey was one of the greatest of all time. 

I was behind the goals at the punt road end, when Schwartz twisted and his knee went.  We were silent.  For the rest of the game, it was a blur.  I think our future went out the window. He was a sensational CHF.  We were seeing another Demon cursed.  

His courage to play on was amazing and whilst he was never the spring heeled CHF, he was a loyal champion Demon.

He's a club legend/favorite son. Bitter sweet reminiscing his career, but i still love doing it.

As a fairy tale it would be nice if he's son could play for us, but i'd rather concentrate (eventhough it's not your point) on our current No 5 who I think is the greatest talent we've had since the great Schwartz.

Love the passion still(always) there for David! Red & Blue.

If his son can do anything like his old man could then I think we'll be pretty happy.

 

Long time since ive seen this. Rudolf Nureyev he was! I remember Schwarz and Nietz, 5 and 6, i couldnt believe we finally had these two huge players and all the marks they took. Thanks for posting WB.

Gee joeboy Jack Viney not good enough for you, and Joel Smith just needs a bit of luck

Kobe Farmer for me if Dad can prize him away from the hoops

Would hate to be young Stot, would be crucified if not as good as the Ox, great footy player, awful media person

Todd Viney and Shaun Smith were not superstars.

Why don’t you bother to fully read and comprehend other people’s posts?

Serious question.

he was still a great player after that third recon. not a superstar like he was destined to be, but still very good. We've actually lacked that exist type of player since he retired.

Love the Ox

He still keeps good contacts within the club. 

He was filthy like us after Round 23

I would like it were he to spend some time with Jesse and Weed ( and maybe Tommy) advising and encouraging even if not in any formal capacity.

Prior to the knee reco he was going to be one of the best players to ever pull on the red and blue jumper.  

He was, at the very least, a superstar at the end of 1994.  It's a shame to see you not giving him the credit he deserves.

He would have to throw a freak. Geez he was good. Before the knee he was something else. Really unfortunate we will never know how good he could of been.

From his highlights package, during the last term against the Dogs he had 25 touches, 12 marks and had kicked 2 goals.  The Ox had a massive tank and would do a mammoth amount of work to not only kick goals but set them up as well.  Lyon kicked 10 that day and he had a hand in many of them.  

It's why I'm still super excited to see Jesse get a full pre-season under his belt as I believe he can play this exact role for us going forward.  He doesn't need to hit the scoreboard each week in big numbers to have a positive impact on the side.  Schwarz was exactly the same.

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
