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.

Unfortunately I won't get a chance to listen as I've family obligations but I'd be very interested to hear his views on targetting either Sloane or Gaff as FA this year.  Who would he choose (assuming we could get either) on the assumption we could afford them. Or is there someone else he'd look at?

Good question but unfortunately we interviewed Roosy yesterday in order to accommodate for his busy schedule. We will be airing that interview tonight prior to our discussion of the Queens birthday game.

The interview as well as the full podcast will be available from tonight after the podcast airs.

Subscribe to us on iTunes or stream it on Soundcloud. The interview itself will also be posted to YouTube.

Good work DL. How did the interview go? Great i would expect. Hopefully supermercado got some nice stats in. 

Looking at the tiles of the podcasts it is really impressive library of interviews you are building

It is 1 hour of awesomeness from Roosy.

@Supermercado was great too. I was above average at best.

Any talk about the pies game?

From Roosy? Or us after the interview?

A little from Roosy. Mostly talked about his time at the Dees with spill over to current day. No spoilers. You'll have to listen.

We'll talk about the Pies game after the interview.

If anyone would like to join the discussion about the QB game or any other issues then call: 03 9016 3666 or Skype: Demonland31.

I think next week we'll give our mid year review perhaps doing a player by player review before looking at our one and only Friday night game of the Home and Away season.

Sorry about the half an hour delay. Don't know why my program that streams the show live just wouldn't connect. I was going to delete and redownload the program straight away but didn't and that seem to do the trick. Lucky we didn't have Roosy waiting on the line. That would have been embarrassing.

Just discovered the podcasts and I’m blown away Demonland!

Great questions and responses. Good journalism IMHO

When Roosie said his biggest legacy is seeing kids turn up with Mel FC tops at QB I went to tears! My 6 yo girl wears her Demon stuff to school, my 11yo boy hats footy.

BTW

Did anyone else notice that Roosie referred to Melbourne as “us” on multiple occasions?

That was not lost on me and for me personally it was the perfect answer to his legacy question and not just for the kids.

Roosy was great and very diplomatically hinted that it was time to cease the NT arrangements 

 

As many have said I can reluctantly live with the game in the Centre but Darwin has to go.

In fact I could learn to like the game in Alice... This year demonstrated that with work it can be made into a showcase game.

Takes to much energy out of the side. 

Top 4 sides wouldn’t go near it, which is why it was thrown to us.

Wonderful insight and a fantastic interview.

Loved every minute of it, one of the things that stood out were the comments about Grimes and Trengove. High praise for both of them even though it didn’t work out in the end for both of them. 

“Lunacy” used to describe their appointment as co-captains at such a young age.

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.

    DEMONLAND: Good evening, Demon fans and welcome to the Demonland 2024 Grand Final Podcast … It’s been a beautiful last day of September and how sweet it is to bring you our coverage of all things that matter about the great Demon resurgence which we’ve seen over the past six or seven months.
