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.

Why cant this club stay away fro m this type of  Bu$%*hit  promotion  Adds nothing to the club and diverts attention

Concentrate on Playing and training for the next Game

Carlton will not be easy and we need to put 100 % effort in to beat them

Yeh too right. The last thing our sponsers and club want is exposure to a national audience on the highest rating show on TV. 

Fools. PJ is really losing his touch.

I don’t care for all you wet blankets. I love Masterchef and I love Melbourne.

I can’t wait to watch it tonight to the subtle background groans of my boyfriend who thinks everything I watch on tv is garbage.

Haha oh Jack. There’s always one.

I’d love to know how this is a ‘diversion’. 

Mass exposure to an audience that otherwise wouldn’t see the MFC, great work by the club.

If we lose this week though it will definitely be down to that over cooked steak 4 months ago...

I was going to apply for Masterchef one year but then I realised I didn’t have a sad backstory so I didn’t see the point.

I don't see it as a distraction. It's all about exposure. I'm sure our sponsors love it. If you don't want to have play games in the NT then we need to build our brand. Winning games and success is one part. Exposure to a mass audience in other forms of media is another.

This was filmed so long ago we’re still promoting the old sponsors 

?

Would anyone object to us spending the NT money on hiring a special effects team to CGI the Zurich logo over the AHG logo?

Tend to agree. I'm one of those old fashioned types that prefer to see our players as footballers not entertainers.

To use a Masterchef idiom:  they are the garnish and not the hero of the dish.  They wander in, scoff some grub, and Jonesy says “tastes good, dunnit?”  Rest of the show is about short pockets angry George, look away and I’ll eat you Matt and totally irrelevant Gary yelling at the poor bastards, and some cooking in between watching people rush around for no reason and recaps.

This will be the show that reveals how Jack Watts lost the trust of his teammates. First he asks if there is a sommelier on set. Then, speaking of the pea soup, that he was expecting an element of surprise, but was let down by its pervading ordinariness. Of the steak and chips, that it was abstract but rarely obvious, and used too much tomato sauce. Of the bread and butter pudding, that it was emotionally complex with a hint of eroticism, but ultimately let down the taster by not having any real link to the the active perception it is signifying.

Footballers will tolerate a lot, but not that.

Gee people chill, it's just a challenge on a cooking show. Its a challenge at the mcg. So of course they would get us. I bet if they got the pies people would be on here saying why didn't they get us. It's our ground. 

Im a tad surprised they didn't get Richmond,  but as it was filmed last yr they were busy with finals.  Anyway just enjoy it.

So you don’t regard football as entertainment, but rather as a metaphor for life’s struggles?

Just watched 2 minutes of this show.Horrible.Have not watched it before.Is it George Caloumbaris yelling at contestants? Why?Because it’s a bullying work environment.I was a TAFE teacher and 30 years ago l had a student retraining to get of cooking because of the bulling workplace he was in .

    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
