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.

    Potential doesn't win premierships
  • Injuries are one thing but still it was 22 vs 22 there was no heart there whatsoever absolutely disgusting performance we should worry less about posting levers stats and which draft pick we are gonna get from Melbourne (re early this year) and worry about our own team 
  • Unfortunately into the first 4 minutes of the game you knew they would be thrashed. Looked like they hadn't slept all night and came out as if they weren't even trying. Just like the Grand Final. Very lethargic xx.
  • Can't say it wasn't unexpected... end of day Melbourne are finally a seriously good footy side. We are average...clearly making up the numbers this year.
  • If we were going to lose a game glad it was Melbourne love there coach Goodwin he was one of our own early days long way to go we will come back bad day at the office we all have them
  • Make them [censored] walk home. No [censored] pride in this club any more.
  • Looked like a training drill for Melbourne. 
  • Not a good day, I can't see Sloane and lynch staying either. I reckon their gone
  • I shake my head every time I see Jenkins efforts
  • The useless coach who had no Plan B and decided to just STARE at the players...?? Like Pykey, they can't read your mind mate. 
  • Nothing like dropping from 4th to 7th and losing almost 16% dishing up that 1f4a9.png?
  • It's 3 poor games. We need more Victorians.
  • Playing with a B grade side and Melbourne had it's A side. Move on.
  • Might as well support Melbourne enough of our players are with then
  • Lever was the big winner today
  • I have said all along that Pyke is a “B” grade version of Neil Craig. 
  • Doesn’t help that we have our reserves playing against a full strength Melbourne team. 
  • On the upside, looks like the stare is back in vogue. On ya Pykey, inspiring stuff.
  • Premiership pretenders again
  • Maybe a [censored] play on our behalf but [censored] the umpires are playing for Melbourne today.

Some Adelaide todger on Big Footy wrote that if the Crows had their best 22 that they would have won by 12 goals. That's a difference of 27 goals from today's outcome.

At least they're saying something...unlike Pyke at 3 quarter time

I actually thought that eyeballing his players at 3QT was really effective. More effective than Bolton losing his [censored] and yelling. Players at least responded.

Maybe. What if the Crows had their best 22. They probably would have did a bit better, maybe even a lot better. But we trounced them today, and they were smashed all over the ground. I have always believed we had a better list than GWS, and we would eventually click. That is happening now. Adelaide would have gotten closer with a full list. But our current list is trending upwards, and rapidly. Brayshaw, Salem, Petracca, Hannan, ANB, Oliver, have all improved this year and its showing. We have added Fritsch and Spargo and its complimenting our side beautifully. The improvement of those lads is down to our coaching staff, and especially our coach. Personally, I have been a knock on Goodwin because I would not touch anyone who has anything to do with James Hird, but that aside, Simon Goodwin is getting the best out of this list. On a day like today I think that stings Crows fans. They are hurting. Throw Lever's last few weeks on top of that and Crows fan's are now in a place where they aren't thinking straight. It is all too much for them IMO.

'Apparently lever walked past the 5aa box after the game and had a chuckle and gave them a 'signal'. What a dead set [censored].'

Whatever - but they still had 14 (I believe) of last year's GF side, plus Gibbs and Ellis-Yolman, plus Doedoo who's supposed to be the second coming.

Tex did open his big mouth at the bottom of his empty head and now what he said so philosophically is back, biting his enormous bum. He'd be lucky to retain the captaincy, let alone get a game again this year.Touche, Dees.

Wasn't intended as a critique of Pyke, SBF. Just a witty aside after a convincing win ;) 

FWIW, I didn't mind the silent treatment from Pyke either

They're problem is the same as ours, traditionally.   A common like of bathwater, when things are just dishy. 

A certain way to give a club a decent upset gut for about 4 months on the Trotski.

 

Lets not do, what they're doing, and get a head of ones self.    keepin the lid on the bin, stayin humble, and appreciating the good times.

When we played the crows at Adelaide oval last year, that was the most true  reflection on how the two sides match up together we beat them by 40 points both sides were at full strength.

    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
