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.

Preseason Training - Week commencing 26/02/18

Viney in full training. Looked a million bucks! Barely a rehab group - Jones, Jetta, Tyson and Balic on light duties. All moved well. VDB only notable absentee.

Great, but I really feel for Vanders. He can be a great player with plenty of 'drive' for the footy.

A no show

37 training full session, 4 on light duties and 3 missing, depth in abundance

Although Nibbler may have tweaked something

Sigh. A week of talking him up and now he is broken. Us MFC supporters have a preternatural ability like that.

(JACK WATTS!!!! YOU ARE AWESOME!!! WE MISS YOU!!!)

Am I doing it right?

7 news talking injuries to Lewis and Jones...Jones with sore back. Any update on Nibbles 'tweak'

Jonesy was running and kicking in rehab, so can't be that bad, Nibbler pulled out of main session and did some rehab

As explained before, slightest niggle they have to report

And as somebody elses stated Viney looks cherry ripe to go

And presumably throw them into rehab - whilst i understand that when 4 points are on the line you send a player into a game with a niggle or underdone but no club would be risking players on the training track or a practice game if they had the slightest niggle. Makes no sense to do so.

I think the point that Saty has been making is that under previous coaches (meaning pre-Roos), players did not disclose when they had any niggles so kept training to their own, and the team's, potential longer-term detriment.

sometimes the players aren't the sharpest tools in the shed but i guess they do get nervous with competition for spots.

The sports scientists and fitness guys are very good at the Club, they continually watch the players, especially those returning from injury

I"ve also asked, if you 'hide' something and you are subsequently found out, it's botty smacking from a great height

Out of interest how do you smack a botty from a great height (there's a phrase i would never thought i'd ever be writing - probably best not to google it, at least at work)? With long arms?

Anyone know if Bullen was in full training or in rehab?

Saty said he may have tweaked something on Wednesday.

Mr Double Hyphen, if anyone should know about hyphenated names I would think it would be you. It is Neal-Bullen

    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
