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.

The Tigers might be good enough to beat us even with a few of our better players back. I would save the likes of Bail, Hughes and Zomer for the North and Freo games.

no! THIS WEEK is the real danger game.

North are a decent and competitive team. they will beat us. We will beat Freo they are really that terrible.

Thus we absolutely MUST lose this week!

The big problem is Sylvia. Eligible to play this week, but if we're tanking, he shouldn't.

In: Bail/Buckley

Out: Jurrah (inj)

If we must bring in Sylvia, then we have to drop Davey. Those two in the midfield means we might break even.

Sylvia can't go straight back in!

He's underdone after a few weeks off - he must pay his penance and earn his senior spot with a week or 4 in the VFL.

Tanking or not, there's no way Colin won't come straight back into the team.

In regards to changes, i'd like to see anyone who's under ANY sort of injury cloud or niggle be given the week off.

OUT: Jurrah (ankle), Cheney (calf), Martin (injury)

IN: Sylvia, Hughes, Jetta

Ahhh, he has done his "penance" with been out for 3 weeks.

He would be fitter than most of the side - given he has 3 weeks to get over sore spots & has been doing extra tarining sessions due to not playing.

Richmond looked pretty good today. They will be keen to make amends for earlier in the year.

Richmond are better than Sydney.

We are no chance.

From the small amount of posts I have read it seems as though we played pretty [censored] today, and I saw the Richmond game and they played well. I think we will lose by about 30 points so lets not stress.

Again, the angrier you get the harder it will be.

Disappointment would be a better emotion, it'll help you move on.

Remember we're doing this so you can have two shiny toys to play with instead of one. Toys that will help us win lots of games of footy.

Ok, big guy.

Can somebody get True Believer 'AFL Premiership 2007' on the PS2?

It'll keep him occupied...

How confident are you? Don't kid yourself, the Toigs are a terrible football side, helped by an out-and-out champion who is still capable of stringing a few games together. My concern is that they'll drop off again having won a good one. Are they good enough to put two together? Will Cousins back it up? Will he get injured?

Only one change for this week.

Colin in, take your pick out.

If the past few weeks are a precedent we'll probably have someone suffering an unexpected injury late in the week.

If Cousins plays like he did against Essendon yesterday, we'll struggle but I don't want to give too much away because I think I'm doing this week's match report.

Sylvia should have 1 run at Casey before returning. Why rush him in? Will play against Freo.

Not sure on how bad Jurrahs injury is but if he is not 100 % dont play him!

Would like not to make any unforced changes.

Need to look at certain players that are on the fringe before the season ends and that includes a few from the team yesterday.

Richmond will get confidence with the win they had, they have played decent for the last three weeks now.

5 weeks of pain to go! Short term pain...Long term gain!

Come on Dees!

Don't get complacent. They've had their win and will be happy with themselves.

Port was great against the Lions and then served up slop against us. Bottom teams do that. Bulldogs 07.

It's a critical 4 weeks.

Have your pick for INS. OUT: Davey

Sylvia will come back in....

I want to see Rohan Bail, Simon Buckley and Danny Hughes get a run.

Especially Hughes. Think he would be quite good in the seniors.

If anyone is injured they should be rested.... any niggles at all.

Perhaps Bruce and Davey could have a bad stitch!!

    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
