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.

The story of the season so far for us. 

I knew he was a good guy runner but like Dermie I was staggered on Sat. 

"Like Dermie"...yuk.

Jesse's work rate was extraordinary on Saturday. There are times he needs to play from the goal square, and times he needs to play up the ground. We are very lucky that he is so capable at both, however we definitely need another big body up forward when Jesse is not there.

I don't sugarcoat things with demons. I'm harsh, much like a proud dad is harsh when he coaches his own kids... So I'll be harsh and glass-half-empty on Hogan.

He'll be better than Daniher.

He already is.

As of last 3 rounds, sure. But in the wider football world Daniher has more runs on the board. I already had him as the better player, but I wouldn't argue the point with opposition supporters on who is better as of round 1 this season. Daniher was amazing last year. Hogan will be amazing this year. From 2019 onwards, it won't be just us on here saying Jesse's better.

Miss? Handball in the square? Smile when his team's getting pumped? I'm intrigued.

Top of the tall forward tree.

I reckon so. I'm not saying Hogan couldn't reel him in one day. But as of right now he's the most sought after KP forward going round not named Buddy.

From Saturday's game onward, Hogan has the unique ability to morph himself into one of Melbourne's most dynamic players of this modern era.

(God, i love that phrase when it pertains to our player).................but for Christ's sake don't tell him or the mediums.

It’s actually happening.

Our young super stars are actually living  up to their potential .

Hogan, Oliver and Petracca are becoming elite match winners for us.

Throw in the number one Ruck-man in the comp in Gawny and one of the very best small forwards in Jeffy, and it starts to come together.

Just need Hibberd , Lever and Hunt to get close their best and it’ll be strap yourselves in for the ride!

The perfect shape, skills and pace to be a damaging midfielder

Will tie with Clarrie for the Brownlow

He's a Bull, in a mid-sized china-shop.

Let him run rampant in that bull ring, and then he can rest up forward.

When the Bull rests, let the Tracta pull the load.

Add Clarrie ball magnet, & Viney the pig-dog, and we have a heap of grunt.

Send in some pace and the World just keeps a turning.

Do not forget Viney. He is a gun clearance player and runner!

    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
