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.


What if Goody had quit?

If Goodwin had of quit there would have been a lot of coaches from other teams quickly checking their contracts for ‘get out’ clauses. A new coach would get a club with a steady, professional admin, a playing list chock full of talent and in the age group poised for a serious, long term tilt at success. 

A drovers dog could take this club to finals..

Well we would have gone through another coach and this team who has achieved nothing and thinks they know best would have had a lot of questions to answer. 

Thank god the club backed him. But if we start losing consecutive games the media will be all over the players cancelling this camp

Kero said on Footy Crapified last night that she asked Goodwin to his face and he denied flat out resignaton was offered. Fwiw she believed him. Non issue.

Ah Kero, when she says nice/calm/soothing things about our club, she's such a cherub.  But that one occasion is soon erased from my mind whenever else she opens her trap.

Wilson suits the needs those who are more interested in intrigue, gossip and the politics of football clubs, rather than how the players are performing.

Got me beat why people call her a good journalist, she rehashes a lot of stories that are well past their use by date, she is a  muckraker at best. Football journalists talk about on-field events, how players are performing and how teams are travelling, you won't get much of that from her.

The story isn’t old, it will be linked with he 2018 season

If the season goes well, it won’t be an issue. 

On the other hand, if we hit a bad patch, the mental toughness will be questioned..

These are ruthless suppositions and some of this may be closer to home than we may consider. It does not shake the loyalty of MFC supporters - or it shouldn't - it merely represents a perspective and viewpoint that is difficult to take but importantly, essential to take if the great range of factors that make up a football club are to be validated and inclusively considered. These suppositions and realities or fears are not exhaustive; such items may often be unknowingly overlooked but 'one at a time, fellas' is a start. A more complete club will emerge by questions 'on' or 'off' notice. As a sunset clause, I would certainly hope that we are richer and wiser for the experience.

Hey, Wilmoy. I had an experience, once, just like that which you describe.

Years ago, the kids were screaming blue murder in the backyard  and I thought one or two of them were injured by something, it was so bad at 6am on a Sunday morning.

I jumped out of bed in my shortie pyjamas, raced to the backdoor and jumped/leapt across the landing onto the grass to get to those little darlings.

Someone had left a garden rake 'prongs up' on the lawn - just where my feet were touching down in my panic. Well, I have never hit two balls so accurately and straight in all my life on the golfcourse, yet I'd never recommend it to anyone as a way to overcome a nasty slice!

    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
