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.

Just wondering why we "played" in that hideous clash jumper?

Surely when it is not required we should stick to our traditional strip.

So the Eagles bring the wrong strip and create a clash...we decide to wear our other strip when we dont have a clash!!

Rudderless at best.

Anything else to criticise the club for? Their choice of boots? Maybe the length of their shorts?

Geez ... it was an away game. That's what alternate strips are for. Start raining on Collingwood and Essendon for their weak attempts.

the clash jumper is OK but should be worn for the 2-3 "Away" games when there is actually a clash ie essendon,carlton maybe Stkilda

Definitely against Adelaide as well. Not sure why we were wearing it against Port but I still like it better than our Heritage guernsey!

I support the AFL on the whole concept of clash jumpers and have a go at Essendon and Collingwood supporters for not digging their head's out of the sand to see the sense in it, so I've declared my bias. That is why, for the life of me, I couldn't understand why West Coast wore the guernsey they did on Friday night. Two teams wearing all royal blue FCS :blink:

I heard that WCE brought the wrong jumpers recently, presumably this week.

Was waiting for the posts from those who wanted to stone to death our property steward, but didn't see any.

Yes it was an away game, but why on earth play in that jumper for No apparent reason? I respect Collingwood and Essendon for standing up for themselves. We just roll over on and off the field.

Its our 150 next year, shouldnt we look to maintain some sort of heritage? Keep the jumper the same unless its a clash. It is not that hard a concept to comprehend.

Heritage Schmeritage. I'd much rather have players recognising each other in an instant on the field. Don't suppose you saw two players handball directly to the opposition in the Eagles v Dogs game on Friday?

We have plenty of other opportunities to wear our normal jumper (which is not the same as when we started 150 years ago anyway).

Agree Rogue.

It just did not suit those poster's self serving angst.

At least we could have got "That's just typical of the unprofessionalism of that Club..?" :rolleyes:

Collingwood and Essendon are being petulant and self serving.

Maurie has correctly summed up the rest.

I did see that on Friday night, and for that reason they should have worn a clash jumper.

Are you telling me players cant tell the difference between red and blue versus black white and teal??

At present the MFC gets pushed around at will.

There was no good reason not to wear our normal jumper.

You should tell that to the AFL. Its their call and their reasons remain a mystery

Under the rules it is the AFL's prerogative to tell Clubs when to wear the alternate strip or not. They instructed MFC to do so.

It is not the MFC Footy depts choice and I understand that they were not happy with it either.

    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
