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.

Its a good result given they beat Sandy at TBO last time. And Sandy had a weaker side this time at least on paper than when they last played.

Its disappointing that Some MFC listed players did not feature more in the best. Not a good sign at all for a couple of players.

how about millers 3 goals? might be needed next week,........

To do what??

So a player fails to catch the attention of the official that picks the best players.... all of a sudden that isn't a good sign? 1 bad game?

You're very ordinary indeed, Champ.

Good to hear Buckley played well. I've recently become friends with someone who's been friends with him since they were kids, and she says he lives and breathes footy. Was a die-hard Melb supporter, and has made playing in the red n blue his life. Apparently he is insanely hardcore compulsive about it, doesnt go out pubbing etc, and trains himself into the ground, whether with the team or on his own. Was sad not to be playing this weekend, but will continue to work his ass off to be able to pull on the red n blue. It's always good to hear about players who have a real passion and pride for the jumper :)

I was at the game and you can take it from me that irrespective of the official best players, Simon Buckley was easily the best player on the ground. So when the publicity starts about the possibility of a Buckley playing in Friday night's game, the Buckley could be Simon, not Nathan.

Which player is that "Champ"?

For players that are on the MFC fringe, the inability to be prominent in a VFL game is not a good sign especially when for some of them its been consecutive weeks. And its only a sign in the absence of further information.

What is your problem?

I was at the game and simon buckley was clearly best on, it is usually a problem with the best with sandy officials doing the best the tend to put sandy players in over melb ones.

Also did anyone see the 2's and hughes's goal. One of the goals of the year!

Does anyone think guy martyn looks like the zebra mascot? He has a fairly big head and a smallish body lol!

No problem "Champ" but you make such sweeping statements that hold absolutely no water. Instead of " Not good for a bunch of Melbourne listed players not to make the best", name them and how often they have been outside of the best.

I think you also need to assess who actually chooses the "Best" players, several times last year a Melbourne listed player would absolutely dominate a game, yet be overlooked for a Sandy youngster.

Don't take it all on face value, Champ.

It was only reference as a "sign" petal. It was not a sweeping statement. Its not relevant who chooses it. The relevance is the MFC listed player performing and justifying his selection. I dont have to names. But your the one big on your own research. Go do some.

Try Bizzell and CJ for starters. Its now been a number of weeks and they have not apparently dominated at this level. They should be.

BTW, it is not good sign for MFC player not to be prominent in the best. If they are fighting for their careers its not. I dont care who selects it.

G'day Mono, didn't see you there. PJ went ok, did some nice things, Miller went OK, attacked the mark & pack hard on a couple of occaisions. Got the ball plenty but doesn't trust his instincts to use the ball himself. Prefers to dish it off for someone else to use it. I wonder if he's a virgin. Looked to find a little of his aggresion at the ball. Our new coach might be good for him, another year for him. I'm starting to like buckley more, he looks a little more comfortable after a few games in the red & blue but needs to push himself for his own development. Garland is a beauty to my mind, he looks to me like a thinker, a kid who seems to think very calmly on his feet & gives me the impression that he's very conscious of what's happening around him & his place in his world, a master of his own destiny & overseer of his development. He's giving himself the time he needs to learn & grow physically. Watch him over the next 2 years.

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you his observations from this morning's Captain's Run including some hints at the changes for our ANZAC Eve clash against the Tigers. Sunny, though a touch windy, this morning, 23 of them no emergencies.  Forwards out first. Harrison Petty, JvR, Jack Billings, Kade Chandler, Kozzy, Bayley Fritsch, and coach Stafford.  The backs join them, Steven May, Jake Lever, Woey, Judd McVee, Blake Howes, Tom McDonald

    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

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
