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.


Losing Jack Viney

Got to lol at the hindsight armchair experts! The closest they've got to examining Jack's foot is from 50m over the boundary. Yet they tut tut his treatment as if knowing better because of 'personal experience'. Yes, yes, club doctors and physios are amateurs who led him to get to this point! We know better.....

FMD!

Sure. That’s what we were told last preseason. 

Don’t post on here much, but didn’t you say Gus Bradshaw should ‘hang up the boots’ after his last concussion?

I think we should relax and see how long he's out before we start saying poor me.

Goodwin said it's a different injury to last time.

True , they’re not . Just saying it’s hard to call time on a players career after a few similar injuries.

Agreed. I don’t think Viney’s career is over, but it will be managed, he came back too early last year. 

That i do believe

Again, are you a doctor/specialist who has examined this person? Apologies if you are, but otherwise this is bs.

I know this site is full of opinions and everyone is entitled to theirs, but making grand sweeping medical statements as fact with very distant and PR massaged knowledge of the individual is ridiculous and clearly wrong

You should work to in the media wyl. Oh, wait.....

Sweeping medical statements??

i have had foot problems since i was a kid, so because of that i have read up a bit on the subject. 

Sorry if that bothers you. 

As i said before, changing load bearing points on a foot is always going to cause new problems.

Maybe. But it will be game by game management. 

Foot problems don’t go away usually, they are managed. That i know from personal experience. Putting loads through different parts of a foot are always going to cause problems even for regular folk, loads on a footy players feet would be off the dial, so i will enjoy each game he plays

I think given previous situation you might well be right, this COULD be career threatening! 

Im still convinced that he came back far too early last year and this could be a catasphrophic conclusion to the current situation!

So then you aren't a medico who has examined either Jack or Gus. Righto.

By the way, a poster on the post game thread said Viney estimated to be 3-4 weeks and the club would be cautious. Intel came from inside the club apparently

No i am not a medico, but i did go to a school that had kids who had suffered brain injuries

So i saw the consequences up close

And 3-4 weeks was what the club was saying last October/November, because they can only ever speculate on a load bearing injury

i hope he plays again this year.

I've got a sore knee. Can you tell me what's wrong and how to fix it? Thanks in advance.

He’s seen knees before up close, I’d be wary of his remedy or dreaded prediction.

Spot on. You were just stating the obvious I thought. Credit to Brayshaw for not hanging up the boots - I would have. Its a dangerous game and repeated head knocks are no good at all. Everything I have read on CTE suggests as much.

If he plays four quarters today and at the level of intensity of last week, I would love to see Vanders in for the run home!

Given the way Max was putting it down our on ballers throats yesterday, I'm not sure we will really miss Viney's contested work.

Just pray we don't loose Max.  I think he has been the difference the past two weeks and probably for most of the year.  Sure we have Pedo who I have confidence would step up and perform well, but he ain't no peek condition Max.

    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
