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 did well melbourne

At least you have seen finals as a teenager.

When I was 17 I hadn't even seen the Dees in the finals!!!!

Stop your whinging and consider yourself lucky! :lol:

Normally I would say Go Dees but I don't want them to go. From here on in it's about draft picks and developing youth; in that order.

Have to agree, it will be better for the club in the long run now if we keep losing. We need a clean out, give up on making the finals even next year. Look to 2009 at the earliest, clean out the dead wood, they are never going to make it. Poor performance today, whatever lame excuses we come up with

If the MFC gave a damn about their supporters, they would make the hard decisions.

We have too many player's along for the ride, and what's amazing is most of these players are senior player's. Get 'em out very soon, including the coach. Sure jump down my throat if you like, but a successful season is one that wins you the flag. I ain't gonna settle for finishing 5-8th anymore. If it takes doing a St Kilda, Hawthorn & Western Bulldogs to make us a genuine premiership contender, so be it. I, like most of the MFC faithful are sick and tired of this cr@p.

Melbourne is a pathetic excuse for a football club. Things must change now...

Yes lets do what it takes to get Matthew Pavlich!!!!

If it means Draft Picks or a player like Brad Green Lets get him NOW!!!

Yep agree, totally agree.

Atleast this years trading period the mfc will be very active (if they wake up from their self-deceit) and of course, if any team is game to recruit any players.

No more of this Yoga crap Bodan or whatever his name is promotes, the MFC need to go back to the basics of football.

post-season trade and draft time is fast becoming the thing i'm waiting for. Not our first win.

i ve followed the dees long enough to see them get flogged in 2 grannies and the current player list is no better or worse than any i ve seen in that period. its just full of good average players like theyve all been.

I agree Kramer unfortunately theres nothing worse than watching a side getting to a grannie and getting flogged, If we are to make one I want to see a side who use ruthless, and will put in a fight.

Maybe our best chance was when we didnt even make the Grand Final, If only Jimmy stynes hadnt given the free to Gary Buckanara, history might be different.

And as far as waiting for a Flag , My old man is still waiting for the saints to win one.

I have followed th Dees for 44 years and todays effort was one of the worst I have ever seen.

The only blokes who have any physicality are Whelan, Jones, Sylvia. Johnstone tried as did Ward and Petterd. Bell tried hard but lacks skill and judgement. The others are pathetic and in my opinion do not want to play hard committed running football. I watched the game on Foxtel and I can honestly say, the tackling was the most inspid weak gutted disgusting display I have seen from the Dees. We need to go and watch the Storm play and tackle. We look like a bunch of schoolboys running aroung playing against men. If WCE had kicked straight they would have won by way over 100 points.

Immediate departures from this team should be numerous, in fact names who people consider to be good players and our supposed good players in Green , Bruce McDonald all play like weaklings. Compare those three to Judd Kerr and Braun and even the WCE new players look more like men than the seasoned Dees.

I could not get over how when Miller, Neitz etc missed the mark they would just stand there and let the Eagles run away, absolutely pathetic. Miller is just a shell of his former self and the Club should do everyone a favor by giving him a run at Sandy.

Poor old Ferg was getting killed by Hansen before he got injured and I am afraid he should never play again for the Dees, he is not up to it physically.

Carroll kept falling over and has lost the ability to keep his eyes on the ball, at least Holland stands up to it and looks at the ball, he would have been better against Lynch.

If I was Daniher I would resign because what I saw today was as bad or worse as when he started 10 years ago and you know what happened to that coach.

Try working your ass off and paying for a family membership with the little $$$ left over!

I know how you feel. We have our first one due next week, and obviously there are alot of costs involved with your first bambino. It gets depressing paying big bucks in a yearly membership plus the costs of going to games throughout the year when we get shiite served up to us like this year after year. I don't mind so much that we haven't won a premiership (WTF am I saying!!!), it's just when the team gives up 'so [censored] easily' (been watching Hell's Kitchen so I borrowed this quote from Gordon ;) ) that you begin to question your commitment.

I'd like to feel sorry for the older guys...

But consider this... You've had 20, 30 maybe 40 years of this...

The younger ones among us have our whole LIVES to watch demon mediocrity.

At least when I was 17 I attended my 5th GF and watched the then mighty demons win another flag (their 4th of the 5 - damn 1958!).

I've put up with a lot of misery since. Few losses were more insipid than today's. I've seen far bigger losses, but with far more effort. Today was unforgivable.

We might be young (I'm 21) But we understand how bloody scary it is that we could have years more of this crap! Don't get me wrong I feel so sorry for the older guys I mean at least I've seen us in finals but the thought that the next 10-15 years could be just wiped out is not very appealing. Unless something really changes round this club I could certainly not see it happening in the next 5.

I was there in 87' when Jimmy ran over the mark. And when we got flogged in the granny in 88'.And unfortunately I dont think our club has gone anywhere in that 20 years.

    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
