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.

Back from the game . . .

R.I.P Dutchy? Won't be signed for next year with an injury like that and already so far on the fringe. How ironic that he hit two lace-out passes consecutively and then was injured so badly.

Nathan Brown - some people think he should be delisted at the end of the season but he shows the most heart week in, week out; great tonight again.

Nathan Jones & Brock McLean - pull your heads in kids, you are not nearly as fast as you think you are.

Good signs - Lynden Dunn and to a lesser extent Jace Bode.

Very strange game but I am proud of the way the boys fought in the second half. I was yelling so much I can't actually talk which is why I'm on here venting. Share your thoughts on the game.

I have never, in my lifetime, seen a team hit this hard by injury over the course of a season

They say dont use injuries as an excuse, well I say fiddle-sticks*

Its the only reason we arent in the top 4

How about...

Jones and Brock- Well done for putting yourselves in every contest and trying to win the ball. If they don't do it, who the hell will? :rolleyes:

Junior, Jones and McLean are the only players in the team who know the meaning of a clearance. All were exhausted by the end of the night, and got caught. It's frustrating, but it happens. I rather they get caught with the ball, than not get the ball at all. If only they got some bloody support!!!

Brown is a battler, always was, always will be. Love his courage and determination, but he is an ordinary player. If we're serious about moving the list on, he has to retire.

Conditions didn't help Jones under foot, but on a night like tonight I will NEVER have a go at him for backing himself.

At one stage Dunn got done for holding the ball after trying to break through. Melbourne were a rabble at this stage, so I say good on him for actually having a go, trying to spark the team.

Jones shows more and more every week.

Surely Brown will be here next year, Of course he wont be part of the long term future but can lead the way until others can force him out of the side. As for Jones surely he will win the B & F which at 19 will be a great effort.

Broke is incredibly out of form, based on what ive seen since i got back. But Jones and Brock have the physical ability to break a tackle, so I'd rather them try, rather than throw it on their boot. Brock gets caught way too much though. Atleast once a game. But, if you see, whenever he is tackled, he lets himself get span around, looks to see if their is a melb player, if there isnt, would rather give the free kick away than kick it to no one.

Jones was our 3rd best I thought. Got caught multiple times and so deserved the comment. He's one of my favourite players, I don't have a specific agenda to taint any particular player's name on here like some people.

true, but if you take into account that the guy is still in line for rising star nominations and yet he's virtually holding our midfield together, it says alot about a guy soo young. i thought he was our best tonight without any particular bias towards him. brock did get done a few times but he needs some slack, no doubt he is playing hurt and trying to do too much.

We missed Miller! His hard lead accross half forward was required.

Bate and Newton are good roaming targets but neither lead up the middle.

I love Jones - isn't it great to have a player who just rocks up week in week out and puts in 100%, runs till he drops, always goes hard and just brings that intensity to the contest. Very reliable for a player so young.

His next task will be coping with closer attention that will come his way next year. He's earnt that respect from the opposition.

i said it in another thread...........but i thought jones was great. i'm wrapped to see a guy soo young at our footy club take on the opposition the way jones does. he will be a star.

Agree, for a young bloke he isn't worried about flying the flag, just steps up and does it.

There was a massive hole at CHF all night. We just stall coming out of defence. I don't think this happens as often with Miller in the side. Despite his bad form of late.

I'm not saying he should play instead of Bate or Newton but maybe one more role of the dice?

Someone has to come in for Dutchy.

Arguably in our best tonight like last week. Gave for four quarters like Nathan Jones.

Why does Brown always get no recognition while other more vaunted players who go missing in action are not held accountable?

Well down Dogga. Finishing your career in grand style

Wheatley, on the other hand, is not.

What on earth was with his kick-outs tonight?

Very, very average.

Not good enough Wheatley. Finishing your career with a series of dumb mistakes.

Was very good tonight.

Doggy is all heart. If he could give a bit of his heart to each and every member of our side, that would be wonderful.

You never get less than 150% from him. He'll dive on every ball and run all day. It's little wonder that he is so loved.

Sadly, his skills and accountability are not always up to scratch and I'm sure you agree that at 30 his time has come.

I'm thrilled for him that he's finishing his career in style, as you said. Nobody deserves it more, and he should be remembered for the wonderfully gutsy player that he's been over the journey.

(His kicking drives me crazy :lol: )

    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

    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.
