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.

I'd like to have heard a little more about the back story of 186, perhaps next time someone from that era comes on again I'll submit a question.

Good idea, I would’ve liked to have heard about Neale as a coach and person plus what Brad is up to these days since he finished coaching and what he gets up to. Great interview though, interesting re Bails.

I get what you're saying but at the end of the day we aren't investigative journalists. We're not out to get the scoop. We want the interviews to be a general retrospective of their careers in the limited time that we have. We have no idea what the players thoughts or feelings are on a difficult subject; some might spill their guts others might be more reserved. We also want to keep getting players past and present on the podcast and not garner a reputation for asking difficult questions.

I was tossing up even asking Brad if he thought it was a kick in the guts to have the captaincy taken away from him when Mark Neeld came along.

It was another interview that certainly exceeded my expectations, keep up the great work, much appreciated

"I was tossing up even asking Brad if he thought it was a kick in the guts to have the captaincy taken away from him when Mark Neeld came along." - I think we know the answer already!

Great interview fellas. Again.

Not meaning to be patronising or give a back handed compliment (honestly) but your interview techniques have really improved from early days. Very professional. 

Not a backhanded compliment. When we started doing this we'd never done it before so it's a work in progress. Same goes for the podcasts in general.

Whenever I listen back there is always things that I think that I should have asked or said and I hope that as we go along we'll improve.

I understand the premise of the podcast and I love it by the way listen religiously. But when Brad defended Bails a couple of times in the interview saying he shouldn’t of been sacked I think he even called it a travesty I’d of liked a little more depth about 186 seeing as though it was so pivotal  

I’d just like to better understand 2 things from Brad’s perspective. How and why. It might not be the objective of the podcast I get it. But it’s what I would have asked.

Yep that’s fair enough, I enjoyed the interview otherwise. I thought brad was pretty open and honest about  the captaincy of Trengove and grimes, and that arguably was a difficult topic for him to talk about. 

btw According to Wikipedia matthew Guy is a saints member ?

Maybe not with Brad but it would be interesting to hear about the actual 186 match itself. You would never get anyone to give a truly candid answer on a fan podcast but to find out the psyche of the players as the disaster was unfolding is something I would want to hear (maybe with a little bit of morbid curiosity).

The way I see it, you get to ask one awkward question per podcast. ;)

One day I'd love to hear what and how it all went down.  I've seen some thumpings handed out to some truly terrible teams over the years, but still none of them came even close to a margin of 186 points.  It's truly incredible and something of a statistical anomaly in our game.

Next time instead of the Manchester United question let's hear more about his stint at Walsall*.

* In a obscure spin-off program where footy players give their recollections of lower league English football. Would subscribe.

    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
