  • 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 think this is his last year. He has gained alot of respect this year for his work ethic and his willingness to fight for a spot in the team, but there simply is not a place for him in the best 22 anymore.

A brilliant servant of the club, but the game has unfortuneately passed him by.

I think he will get one more chance to impress. If he does well he might just get one more year. The ball is in his court though.

even if he does impress he'll be gone at the end of the year...

we need to make room on our list for Aussie, Valenti, 1st rd pick, 2nd rd pick, 3rd rd pick, 4th rd pick, PSD pick and possibly a 1st rd priority pick.

That's at least 7 or 8 players who need to make way. Yze will have to be one of them. The only players who will be gone before him are David Neitz, Isaac Weetra and Ben Holland.

Adem will retire at the end of the year in my opinion.

I think he knows his time hascome.

However i just hope people dont think or remember him for his last few years.

we need to remember him for his forst 8 or so seasons where he was in our best players almost every week.

Where his skill, intelligence and leadership were so valuable.

I certainly was confident whenever he was near the ball when he was in his prime.

Definitely one of our best ever players.

Like the dinosaurs you adapt or become extinct.

Talent wise Yze could play for another 3 years. Unfortunately he seems incapable of adapting his game so he can continue playing.

Against Richmond he just got the ball & snapped for goal regardless of the situation instead of doing the team thing & kicking to advantage.

I thought Bailey had treated him very harshly but unfortunately when he got another chance he kept doing the same dumb things.

Bye bye Adem.

With his recent exclusion from the leadership group, i'd say its now more certain than ever that he will call it quits at seasons end.

I agree with the many good points that have been made here already about Yze, so i'll just say, the bottom line is he's not part of the future and it's difficult to imagine DB giving him an extra year, given the lack of game time he's recieved this year.

If he stays fit for the rest of the year and continues pushing for selection at Sandy, i don't see any reason why he couldn't play at least one more game late in the season, as a farewell to the Demon faithful who have watched him for 13 years.

He is a gun, but what good is it for the future of a club is a stalwart holds on to play another 25-30 games? We need to build a list, not only to get members, but to survive.

Love Yze, but the future has to take place now, we do not want to repeat what carlton did, and dwell at the bottom for 6 seasons. 2-3 seasons, then bang, finals! Wont happen if we give games to the nearly departed.

Deserves a better send off than to call it quits a season early, but the club has been good to him, it is his turn to put the club first.

Yeah, I think his footy isn't screaming out to keep him in the team. And at this stage if you're in your 30s and you're not playing BRILLIANTLY, even if you're playing WELL, you'll still get dropped. Happened to Jeff White...

The only factor that would mean he'd stay is the behind the scenes stuff. Both DB AND the players couldn't speak more highly of his efforts behind the scenes if they tried...

There may be a push for him to stay on and lead the young kids. And with another year in their young legs I reckon he may be able to frontrun again, and kick a few goals next year.

It depends on DB... Personally I hope the youth policy is persevered with completely. And I hope we see him off in the way he deserves.

DB asserted that both White and Jamar were performing at an average or worse level lately, and many other Demonland members will agree.

I think White's one possession in the second half vs Sydney is some evidence of him not playing well.

Fully agree, the club will ask him to retire, and I'd I think he will. Even if a club like Sydney show some interest, I get the feeling he would want to remain a one club player.

Has been a great player but still wont put his head over the ball. Not a good example for the kids. I hope Yoda is developing a tougher culture and i think he is.

Yep i agree

Great servant over the years, but will retire gracefully at the end of the year

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
