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.

Assuming we land Gaff im surprised we would have the cap space to fit Sloane. Plus Sloane has had a horror run with injury.

We wouldn't go both. Gaff is a reasonable fall back option. But obviously if we had the pick of the two we'd go Sloane. We are at the point in our journey where we are entering the premiership window. You get the best players possible. Sloane is an A grader. Gaff is a B grader. Given a choice its a simple decision for mine.

If I was a forensic accountant I would be fantasising about auditing Hawthorn. They have been making cap room magically appear for the last decade.

The problem with free agency is older players are accepting less money to move to a ‘successful’ well resources club.

That would be solved by lowering the threshold for FAs. Younger players are more likely to move for money and there would be a greater pool of players available each year thereby promoting greater player movement.

Sloane is a sliding A Grader & Gaff is an improving A Grader. 

Gaff is younger, healthier and would probably win the Brownlow if it were counted today. 

To top it off, Gaff is more of what we need  

I would take Gaff well & truly ahead of Sloane.

Got to keep upgrading the list every year. 

If Sloane is available, then we should be on the front foot, if we don’t land him, another club will. 

Midfielders get injured, they are in the guts and frenzy. 

Sloane would be great right now as Viney is out for a long time

Never think static

I hope we are onto something, with the ranger.

We have to get this club winning in September.  And save it from itself.  Niceness knows no bounds, and is lovely, outside the theatre of battle.

It is an imposter, within the forming of an army.

the attitudes swyl.

the attitudes that have led us to vote for directors we do not know nor come into contact with, Via the recommendations sent out to us in club letters.

... usually recommended as well from the mcc,,, all good and harmonious there, but at what cost, swyl.  

 

You are very negative about anything that shines a dark light on the things that you cherish,  without any consideration from yourself ?

'the fish rots from the head' I believe I have heard you say many times, yet you still will not tolerate the thought, that something you cherish is actually cancerous.  And killing itself, from the inside.

- - - - - - - - -

 

"Sloane overrated",  another meaningless comment from you out of spite,,,  about something you are weak at, judging player talent.

 Sloane is tagged week in, week out, for good reason. swyl.  But don't let the facts hit you in the face with a cold wet fish.

Sloane is over rated as is Rance...

THEY are footy dumb, when it comes to footy clubs.

They're good at the turnstiles, swyl.   Thats all they are. 

 

They stuffed up,,, knocking down the Smokers Stand,

And they took OUR players race, away from the Mfc members/supporters children...  they couldn't run a footy club, if they had all the kings horses and all the kings men.

    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
