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.

There should be a dislike button for comments like that Bugg is a spud.

 

He's not you know but your over reaction is almost amusing.

Even if you kick 1:4 .. it means you have got the ball in the scoring zone 5 times...........not bad

I have only seen the first half on TV.

WTF suggesting that Burnie gets KOd for that?  NOT high and no consequence though the lying CFC doc after last year will no doubt say that the "victim" was severely concussed, broke his neck and will never play again.

Will Vince get a fine or cop a week?  Jumping off the ground is a bad sign. But Thomas was ok and only hit him in the chest

Wouldn't think he'd cop either. You can jump as high as you like providing you make legal contact. As you say, got him in the chest, no free paid & Thomas (to his credit) bounced straight up

A hit like that is a thing of great beauty

NO CHANGE

Garlett won't get a game just because it's indigenous round he has to earn it. 

 

Garlett has been stiff and if he breaks in to play in this huge game it will be because the MC think he is the best option for one of the best teams in the league.

God I hope we beat this mob well, the amount of crap I’v heard from Adelaide fans this year about Lever. Plus living in Adelaide doesn’t help.

Can someone tell me why the player dropped from last week would be made cary-over emergency this week?

Tyson was obviously dropped for performance reasons, yet he isn't given the opportunity to work on those areas the following week in the reserves.  And to add insult to injury, they (Casey) were playing an insipid team which would be the perfect chance for Tyson to work on his game.

I rarely criticise the coaching/selection/etc, but this decision is just plain poor.

The Cows have no Walker, McGovern, Sloane and Crouch brothers. No reason why we can’t win this well.

Who were the other emergencies? Pedersen has missed games and deserves a crack at getting back in the team, as do Garlett and Hunt, two guys close to the best 22 if not in it. I'd suggest they picked Tyson as he was the best emergency we had and if there was an injury pre game or coming in to next week to any of the midfielders he'd come straight back in. Belting Frankston would do little for Tyson, he needs the best quality opponents at VFL to play against. As long as they rotate the carry over players I really don't care how they structure it.

Only an opinion but maybe it had something to do with Oliver’s broken finger suffered last week and surgery on Monday. 

If there was a chance Oliver couldn’t come up Tyson would be the most logical replacement.

After 109 point win, and I’m still grinning, normally wouldn’t make any changes, but I would give Spargo a rest next week and bring in Garlett.

Spargo has been going really well and is very competitive but looked a little tired today in the 2nd half.

    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
