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.

The injury list has been pared back a little and the good news is that Brock McLean is available this week and Clint Bartram is also available after a long lay off due to that ankle injury suffered in round 22 last year. Jace Bode's back however, seems to be deteriorating:-

Clint Bartram (ankle) available

Jace Bode (back) 3-4 weeks

Brock McLean (thigh) available

Nick Smith (amnesia) 4 - 6 weeks

Colin Sylvia (groin) 1 week

Matthew Warnock (ankle) 1 week

Isaac Weetra (hamstring) 1 week

Any news on Daniel Hayes appreciated especially by dazzledavey36.

Last week's injury list was:-

Clint Bartram (ankle) 2-3 weeks

Jace Bode (back) 2 - 3 weeks

Ben Holland (hip) test

Travis Johnstone (foot) test

Brock McLean (thigh) 1 week

Nick Smith (amnesia) 4 - 6 weeks

Colin Sylvia (groin) 2 -3 weeks

Matthew Warnock (ankle) 2-3 weeks

Paul Wheatley (ankle) test

Holland, Johnstone and Wheatley all made it through their tests and played in practice matches at the weekend.

Very happy. Will be supprised if Bartram has as good a year as 06 but u cant blame him due to injurey and little preseason. Any news on Moloney...will he be back to his stellar season he had with Geelong.

Saw that Saints have massive injury issues. Hammil, Kosi, Reiwoldt, R Clark, Hudghton, Guardner. Looks good so far. Hopefully Guerig will try and dodge Caroll again and rub him out for the season. I would LOVE that :D

Sylvia is 1 week like I'm 1 week!! Sylvia is closer to 2 months, despite reports.

Correct, and don't get excited about Bartram either.

His ankle may have healed, but he has a fair few weeks of fitness training before he's ready to play. He will most likely play a couple of half games at Sandy, before they contemplate selecting him in the side.

As for Sylvia, Round 8 would be a good result.

Word is that Col is a long way off still. The upside is that if he recovers and then plays 3 weeks for Sandy and comes through ok, he'll be as keen as mustard come mid-season/serious end. I have an awful feeling however that even this is optimistic, but I wish him the best.

Despite what some might think simply playing games is going to be the best way to get Bartram fit for a return to AFL level.

Does anyone actually know the full story on Sylvia. I know we had to wait quite a while to get the best out of Trav, and patience is important with young players. The story is that the kid can seriously play and I am willing to wait as long as it takes and stand by the bloke for a few years if we have to - and I hope we do. It's just frustrating not getting to see him out on the field week in and week out. Brock has already become a star and he was picked in the same draft. I dare say that Sylvia might already be classed as good as Brock if he'd had a couple of pre-seasons and 50 games under his belt. It's sad that the kid just can't take a trick at the moment. Can anyone shed more light?

He's got OP, and it's a condition that he's had since before he was drafted.

I think he was badly managed as a youngster, and now our club is trying to solve this problem for him.

    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
