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.

Im just wondering if others would concur that it might be prudent to bring in Sylvia and/or Petterd given the track might be heavy and not suit the taller timber ?

PJ would be an obvious candidate for exchange... brings into question Dunn...yes yes..love to see him back but is this the right day ? Or do you retain Dunn and leave out Russian.. ?

just questions !! :-)

PJ doesnt rely on his marking and is good at ground level, so you would say he is a good big man to have in the wet.

I would leave out the Russian if anyone, I just dont think he offers enough around the ground and if it was wet, it would be reduced even further.

Sandilands just poses to be a real problem...

Agreed. I think its better to throw in sylvia or pettard - an in and under player. Sandi will be an issue certainly and i think both white and johnson will be a better combo than Jamar (who can play against less vital or game winning ruckman). I think its inevitable that we will be able to stop sandilands...except if pickett lines him up so i think its important to have our centre square players make sure that there are no freo players in space (a corrodor) who will run on from the tap.

I think we are a real chance in the wet. Not only because of the weather not suiting freos game style but also the fact that we should be able to get plenty of players around the contests.

Im very excited and going tomorrow due to feeling we actually have more of a chance than i thought we might. But to win, davey MUST have a good game. We need smaller players crumming the ball as it will be difficult to mark the ball. I would even open up the 50 with just Dunn, Davey, Green there with Miller playing in the backline. Might even throw C.Johnson into the 50, get the ball to the ground and use the speed on the slower, taller freo players.

Good luck dees

If it stays wet speed and height won't be that important. Clean hands will.

I would leave PJ in; and probably even Jamar, as he will be our best bet against Sandilands whatever happens.

Sylvia, Petterd and Bizzell have all shown clean hands so far this year; and they have the added bonus of being able to find space and keep a cool head.

Go Dees

    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
