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.

I have enjoyed listening to SEN and all that is football but suddenly over the last few months this CAT has started to annoy me and made me start listening to other stations.

His comments about relocating the Demons to the Gold Coast, that we are a disgrace, etc got me going this morning...

Most Demons supporters will buy a membership unlike this frontus bummus, who a few years back would not buy a membership to sticks fc due to someone being involved with the club... then he has a crack at our members???

he has no credibility.. he tries to use big words to show that he is an intellectual but all he is doing is showing a four eyed pharkwit he is!

mark allen should have got this gig over 'radar' - who calls themselves by their nickname???

I agree Radar is a tool. I have stopped listening to SEN in the mornings purely because of him. I'd see him as an 'hysteric' - desparate for some sensationalism, flapping about in a apanic, but really very very shallow. Labaelling us as a 'disgrace' is funny, perhaps he's forgotten Carlton's record losses over the past three years under pagan? He can say nothing without using a 'hyped' tone and then says nothing with it. An empty vessel.

Its unuldalterated garbage, that all. If North were 0-6 he would be saying the same thing about them. Just becasue we had 16k attendance at the game is probably why he raised it (by the way Richmond only have 1500 more members than we do and are also 0-6) No one should get upset about this. He is being antagonistic for the sake of it. He obviously doesn't personally like the Melbourne Football Club at all but who gives a s***.

Agreed. I say it to myself every morning, the show would be so much more enjoyable if it were just Tim and Billy!

Apart from the fact that we already have around 27,000 payed up members. Sure, the 16,000 that turned up on the week end was a poor effort, but suggesting we relocate when we almost, if not already have record membership is a joke.

You hit the nail on the head. A club with record membership is not a candidate for relocation, as the membership would have to start from nothing.

That is of course leaving out other little factors like for example, we were the first football club in the world and a founder of the league, we are one of the most successful, our name is Melbourne and the G is our home ground, we have played in 6 finals series in the last few years etc.

I'm not kidding, I'm a fairly passive bloke but if I saw that bloke in public I walk up to him and abuse him. I'm serious. What a muppet. Has the most ridiculous occa accent and no has no idea about our club. Andrew, you barrack for Carlton, the cheating scum wooden spooners with more problems than Richmond.

How funny was it a few years ago (year Sydney won the flag) when 10 sent Maher to Ireland to meet Tadgh Kennelly's freinds or whatever. Imagine being sent to the other side of the earth GF week? Shows about how much respect they have for the man. He is a joke!

Agree! He should go back to being a producer like he was at Channel 7.

He's too damn serious (in other words BORING) for that show. He belongs on the ABC. The bloke should crack open a bottle of red and have a few glasses before the show to loosen up. Hardly ever laughs and always saying "oh that was a bit out of line Hughesy". Pleeeeease.

I actually didn't mind Huddo. He does know his footy.

Maher is bad, Michael Christian is worst. He's got to be the worst commentator going around. Hate listening to him and his bias to Collingwood. Watched a Pies/Port game and the crap he dished out was unbelievable.

So has anyone actually accurately reported what Maher said? Was he serious? Was it in jest? Was it just another team's supporter having a bit of a poke? I suspect either we're taking it a little too seriously, or the truth might hurt about our current level of crowd support.

OK, I declare my bias. I've played golf with Andrew Maher and had the pleasure of his company for four hour rounds on a couple of occasions. Off the TV and radio you could not meet a nicer fellow. Very happy to talk football with anyone, and certainly not pompous or arrogant like a lot of ex-footballers. Quite happy to mix it with us mere mortals and the conversation is certainly not one-way.

he was dead serious...brought it up the week before too called us a disgrace becuase we only had 16K at the freo game.

i'm glad i am not the only one to take offence at this [censored].....like someone mentioned when his team needed him he refused to buy a membership and now he has the gall to bag us...a bit rich i think...

the guy is boring as..and is definately there to sensationalise everything...and the way he is going..i reckon billy is going to clock him one soon...

    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
