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.

You lost me as soon as you said it was on preseason form then included Hore for round 1 who is a recruit who has not even trained with the main group. How does this logic stand up?

You wouldn't have a team based on pre season form. I said I considered pre season form. That's why Frost, Spargo and Fritsch are in and O.Mac, Hannan and Vanders are out.

Yet you have included someone with no exposed AFL form nor even any pre-season guides to allude to... Sorry still a bit lost.

I think we should wait until at least the JLT games til we start to put new recruits in the best 22. I think the only exception at the moment is May. KK and Pruess probably get a look in too but the 18 years olds and ex-VFL will have to earn that spot and it's way too early to make those calls.

What about VFL form. He back to full training now anyway. I think he's the perfect replacement for Lever.

...only weakness is OMac at CHB instead of Frosty. Shame that Hannan fits as an emergency but this is the state of the list, I guess. OMac should be an emergency in our opinions, with some serious running time and practice in the Casey team for some time.

Barring any injuries VandenBerg is a shoein and is in our best 22 IMO. The kind of player with the big body  aggressive and hits hard.

Yeah I agree with that. Even though his disposal is sometimes deplorable the rest of him makes him an important member of the team

I'm with you Werridee. Love a pre-emptive 22. My mates do them all off-season. After draft day. After trade week. They're fun.

Hore is a break in case of emergency guy. He'll come in for maybe 6 games as our KP defenders struggle or get hurt. OMac as usual is the whipping boy, but people do seem to forget the match committee absolutely love him. He played every game last year for some reason. Demonlanders should probably get on board, or at least understand he will get picked despite what they think.

I reckon you always have to earmark one, maybe two surprises in there as well. Goody loves to play a debutant round 1. Fritsch last year. Smith the year before that. I feel like with Oliver rehabbing they might get Sparrow a game, as he's physically ready.

Vandenberg's ending to the 2018 season was astonishing to me.  I didn't think he had it in him, to that level.  His impact was fantastic. And his speed, I hadn't realised.

We were finally playing like men.... and opposition did not know what to make of us.  Some sure  got out of our way in a hurry.

 

Watch out for the Cat-attack re-Match...   Selwood and coach Johnson have a plan for us... pencil it in.

    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

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim
