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.

Despite losing

Has anyone else noticed... despite losin all our games.... melbourne have still had their chances in all if not most games they have played.... watchin sydneys game again yesterday i realised although we were still down by 4 goals or more at most stages.... melb seemed to dominate the game and pressure the swans..... now if it wasnt for some f.ed decisions like nick davis holding the ball/throw which the umpire actually gave him a free kick in front of goal, this was around the same time when barry hall was not payed holding the ball for claiming a mark he had cleary not marked.....

anyway my point is... with the right avenues to goal i still feel melbourne is a great chance this year..... we dominated the swans for atleast 1/2 the game..... we were a chance against the hawks in the last 10 mins......we competed with freo for 3 quarters just got killed in the second

i think melbourne has really done well ... to compete with the injuries and the state of of mind they have with 0 wins....

avenue to goal is the only thing that can save us tho....

i say rush neitz and robbo back ASAP ..... with abit of luck we could turn this season from hell right around....

I have thought it amazing that despite seemingly being pummeled at times, we have always seemed to have a sniff. However, I think that can be misleading, as teams early in the year can manage their players and take the foot off the pedal to give the illusion that we are competing. Certainly last week, any time Sydney wanted to kick a goal, they did.

To say we have done well is not right though. We certainly haven't done well.

Exactly. The state of injuries is bad enough, but the lack of confidence shown by the existing player group is of great concern. I reckon a win - no matter how ugly - would be the medicine we need.

AHH, have another look @ the replay of 'US' v the Saints, we were 'ok' for the first 20 minutes of the 1st Q, the Sainters were desperately trying to get their game going & were applying lots of defensive pressure on us & actually had more scoring shots than us but for poor kicking. From the 20 minute mark of the 1stQ on, for the whole game, we started to run around in circles spraying the ball around in all directions, 'till finally turning the ball over to the saints, then we had our turn to chase, not one of our favourite passtimes, let alone having to tackle, then we realise 'OH,' we've trimmed off the extra bulk, 'er muscle (that we took years to put on) & now we have to 'stick' a takle, 'Ha, what a joke.

Yes we will start playing better football in the coming weeks as we regroup the main list, but as long as we have a Quintet of soft shrinking violet's in the side we'll never beat the top 3 teams in a FINAL. Only occaisionally in a H & A game when they have a let down...

A good side cannot carry more than 2 silky smooth types in a team.

You must have a team of skilled 'goers', & add to that some hard class then your on your way.

    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
