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.

Tom Rehn on SEN said Dees were circling at around 4pm today

Maybe we left it a bit late if we were only circling at around 4pm today after he had re-signed with Port? However, SWYL seems to think we can bend the time-space continuum by passing on Wines in the draft when his first league game was a BOG.

decisions like passing on Wines when his FIRST GAME against us was BOG keep the theory alive sadly.

Yes in 2013

I’ll rephrase it for the last time, he’s gone and never coming so let’s get over it. I never held hope that he’d come to Dees or want, I actually didn’t think the club would pursue him.

Tom Rehn at around 4pm yesterday on SEN said Dees had been circling”

Would you trade any of our young star mids for WInes?

Viney? no

Oliver? no

Salem? no

Petracca? no

Harmes?  no

Brayshaw? no

Not now, the way we have developed recently. we don't need him now.  We need more pace and nimbleness.

Don't forget Maynard as well.

But I wouldn't mind Degooey.

I have a theory that when we lost Wowie in 2002 some soul left the club of that group. 

No-one leaves this cuurent team . Incl the rubbish talked about hogan.

The tightness of the players cannot be overestimated.

Good call, although it is as much about the players you bring in as the ones who go out. Not only did Woewodin leave, but we brought in Heffernan and Moorcroft who never wanted to leave Essendon, and Fatboy Pickett who was there just for the money.

Thats true, I remember feeling shocked, with the loss of Woewodin. It felt like another blow to me as a supporter.

But a sociable based afl club, as distinct from a hardened title hunting AFL side, 'can be', different things.

 

That team, and this current team, are so far removed in mindset, its not funny.

Heffernan was an absolute spud! His heart was never at Melbourne despite being a dees supporter as a kid. Came in with big expectations as he was touted to be Essendons next captain in waiting

Up there as one of the worst players to pull on the red and blue.

Gary Moorcroft was a gimp.

On face value - Viney = no. 

If Viney's foot/toe flares up again in the next few weeks? Romance aside, it would be a better result for the team long team.

And yes i know that won't ever happen, especially since he is a captain, but as long as we're talking hypothetical's ...

NFW to down trading our top 3 pick, we don’t need anymore of his type. 

Ok, watch Hawthorn somehow get Hill, Coniglio, Patton, while we do the same thing and stand there like Winnie the Pooh...

Trying to think outside the box a bit, Brad Hill will not solve all our problems...

1) We'll have pick 2.

2) Wouldn't be trading away pick 2 for a player that is not an automatic selection for any team in the league.

3) Wines has plateaued; he's not the player he looked like becoming after his first two years.  Not to say he's not a good player, but he's not a top shelf target.

Worth serious consideration definitely 

We have the chance with pick 2 to get a very good player, rather than a 25 year old who is struggling at the moment and is another slow inside mid. We need real class badly.

NO!

Fair enough. Someone else suggested it and I thought your post was following the same theme.

Yes I would take Ollie for the right deal.

    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
