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.

Ok, coffee break, we're almost at the weekend and yes it's a another poll. Just thought I'd ask Demonlanders this: -

If "The Mighty Demons" were playing in the AFL Grand Final next year (of course hypothetically :lol: ; but nevertheless possible), which team would you want The Dees to play and win the Premiership against?

So think about who you might despise the most, etc....

I have a sneaky suspicion who the most voted team may be, but I won't influence voting by alluding to the team I have in mind. Vote away....

Also, think about who you would like to see lift the Premiership Cup on the victory dias. For the sake of the exercise it must be Dean Bailey and someone.

FootNote: Hey Swamp fox, I've put in *West Sydney & *Gold Coast, just in case you complain about another poll! ;)

**Did you want me to include a Tassie Team as well? Well I did just in case the poll copped flak! :lol:

i'd take anything against anyone, but against collingwood, or another melbourne team, would be fantastic.

more supporters to rag on, especially if it was collingwood.

in hindsight, perhaps i would like to smash essendon, as pay back for 2000.

i assume some of the bit-older-than-me's would like to pay hawthorn back for the 80's as well...

The dream: smash Carlton, with Brock as captain, and Grimes winning the NSM.

The reality: I'd take a one point victory over West Sydney, with Juice as captain, and Jamar winning the NSM.

Beggers can't be choosers!

would love to smash the pies then watch them cry again :)

Normally I would agree, but there is a new enemy.... CARLTANK led by JU$$. Love to see a dodgy free kick to butcher (our tanking priority pick) on the siren 10m out directly in front being 5 points down.

How good would it be! They would cry and carry on for years!

bombers........ still want revenge for 2000 - GRRRRRR. (B Moloney and Colin Sylvia to break 2 of their up and comers in half as well...... maybe hurley and ryder [ie green/simmonds] that sounds fair) :angry:

Definitely V the dorks after the siren with kick moved closer to goal from a 50m penalty

And Jimmy to catch the ball - as President - behind the goals within the cheer squad. How ironic would that be.

I went for Hawthorn as well. The old firms Collingwood and Carlton are naturally up there but the Hawks IMO have a bit of a smugness about them as an organisation. Carlton and Collingwood I am happy with never making a GF again. :D

I voted the obvious Collingwood with little thought

I would like to change to Carlton, and make the Margin a lot.

No stress on the heart, just 3 hours of enjoyment watching us belt the living bejesus out of them.

Oooooooh and Judd to only touch the ball twice, with Watts kicking 7.

Versus Collingwood

Bailey / Grimes

Being born in the early 1950,s Collingwood is the only choice i could make

I chose Bailey to still be coach of the MFC in 5- 6 years time and by that time alot of changes will be made in the playing list

Bailey by that time should have the core of players who play together for long periods and with enough skill to carry out his gameplan

Grimes shows enough to me to show he has a bright future in the MFC midfield

He has been given leadership in under age competition which is a significant indication he is a person of quality in regards to people skills , being respected and a high work ethic

Hawthorn. Initially chose collingwood, but after thinking over it, the number of cocky schoolkids bandwagoning and rubbing in their dominance during those years, nothing would be sweeter. Hawks to come out blazing like they did last weekend with silky hard attacking skill and their key forwards to give them an 8 goal buffer by half time, and for them not to drop off, but we lift our intensity and run over them by 6 goals with pure brilliance. Ahh. Optimism.

Much prefer Butcher to take a massive grab and kick a goal from 65m on the boundary to cap off a 55 point turnaround. I just don't understand why you would want to win a premeirship from a dodgy freekick. It should worry you that you think like that.

    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
