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.

From Chris Scott on AFL360, Dangerfield is still a chance and Ablett will play.

Good. I hope they both break down early in the 2nd Quarter. 

If they play, they are fair game. 

Run the bastards as hard as possible...

BANG!

Geez that will be fun we have Viney and Oliver out possibly and they have dumbwood, danger and Ablett in possibly. 

Awesome!

If we are worrying about ins and outs at this stage, you can give up on finals.

 

We played our best footy last year with no Hogan and Viney.

Fxxk Geelong, I think we can win this.

Just would have been nice for us to be at full strength too but take onboard what u r saying faulty. 

Would be a massive win if we can get it considering all our outs.

Saw earlier odds in the day and we were favourites, but even evens makes me worry :)

I’m not disagreeing with you Sigil, but at some point if we’re going to win a flag soon we must be favourites in games like these and deliver a result accordingly.

In the past our best games were always as the underdogs. Part of our mental fragility has been in not being able to perform as favourites. If we're going to push for finals or top 4 or the big dance then we have to break the shakles of not being able to win when we're expected too and also being favourites against the "strong" teams and getting the job done.

Who fuggin cares.

Just bounce the ball.

I’m not worried about either of those blokes in relation to us being a competitive and worthy side of making finals.

All this hype?

We’re in the ballpark guys.

I won't believe it until he's announced to play 90 minutes before the game when the final team list is in.  

For the record, they're crazy to play him, especially with Ablett going in with no match practice as well.  I actually think it works in our favour to have them playing blokes who aren't 100%.

Agree with that - Ablett must be underdone and Danger well that's a massive risk - They must be worried !!

Worry about who we have got and not who we haven't.

Have a red hot crack at the 22 in front of you. The FD will have a game plan firmly in place by now covering all possible Cats in and out.

Up to our 22 boys named

So much talk of their midfield but without Henderson and recent retirements Geelong's defence is poor

Possible line up:   

Stewart   Taylor   Jones

Tuohy    Kolodjashnj   Bews

If we break even in the middle we should win this.  If Hogan is on Taylor it will be worth getting Hogan on his bike around the ground and out to the wings.  Pedo and Trac should be able to dominate in the air if we get it in quick

Quite a likely outcome, SWYL. We must run those two into the ground accompanied by a few hard bodies assisting along the way. I still have dreams of another 'weekend with Bernie' for Dangersmelled, and for Ablett, a run-in with Pedo at full bore....

    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
