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.

Let’s revisit the ladder after Hawthorn, Richmond and Essendon. Sitting 3rd after wins against Brisbane and North doesn’t count for a lot. 

Brisbane should have beaten Port last week and North smashed the Saints (who were tipped to be there or thereabouts for finals preseason.) There’ll be no easy games this year for any team.

I don’t think I’ve been interested in any games I’ve watch this year except for our own. 

It’s been a very average season so far. Poor quality matches by the bucketloads each week. 

Stuck in the airport with a flight delay so I watched it, because what else do I have to do, and it was putrid. I actually fell asleep momentarily.

That was a terrible game.  Adelaide's inability to defend Collingwood when they brought the ball inside with quick hands was appalling.

Still don't rate Collingwood based on that, Adelaide were simply horrible.

Very average. I’m struggling to get into games so far this season. 

It depends what airport, I’ve been delayed in Dubai a few times and I normally eat about a dozen shake shack burgers

Adelaide were terrible. Weren’t willing to tackle all night and as many commentators suggested pre-match they went in too tall with their forward line. I watched a fair bit of the game and the ball hardly ever got past Adelaide’s half forward line.

Good on Collingwood for taking the win. Will be interesting to watch over the next few weeks how they go and how we both measure up by the time we meet on Queens Birthday Monday.

Only watched the first half then switched over...

Jane Jenkins was embarrassing, but so to were most of the Crows team.

The game looked over in the first 10 mins.

A question...is Eddie quickly coming to the end? he's really struggled so far this season & appears to be off the pace, the magic has gone missing.

I’m in Kuala Lumpur. I’ve had enough champagne to make me forget that I still have another 13 hours before I’m home, but not enough to make me appreciate that game of footy. 

At least I’ll be home with plenty of time to watch our game on Sunday. Can’t wait!

The filth had a training run. Adelaide were pathetic. Tex Walker is the biggest piece of shizenhausen to take the field. He is puff the magic dragon and can shove his clenched fists right u& h#$ a%+@.

Josh Jenkins is worse.  The biggest front running forward in footy.  The moment the game is on the line he goes to water.  

800k a year massive spud, gonna struggle big style to keep Lynch in their pay structure.

Richmond and the Bulldogs have both proven that small and contested footy holds up in high pressure matches. Adelaide was a high contested ball winning side last year but once a team exploited their top heaviness, they struggled to adapt.

I hope we smash them and Sydney this year.

Adelaide were useless, but regardless of the opposition, the Pies ball movement was stunning. Hard fast low kicks with pinpoint accuracy, good fast hands and excellent rucking from Grundy who ended up with over 30 possessions.

No wonder they had no money in the kitty to pay Lever when they are paying donkeys like Jenkins 800k.

Collingwood thoroughly deserved that win.  Dominated from the first second and played the conditions perfectly.

Everyone had Adelaide pencilled into the top 4.  Would love to see them fall down the ladder, preferably missing the 8.

Sloane is not a superstar. Not even close.  Gets tagged out of games way too often.

Betts is finished.

    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
