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.

thanks for the link , my favourite part of the report

"This was due to Sturt captain Jade Sheedy, Luke Crane and AFL-bound Jack Trengove constantly hitting targets inside 50m"

Demons bound I hope

The more I see, hear or read about JT, the more I like Jordan McMahon. He could arguably go down in history as the player who did the most for the MFC without ever playing for us.

Trengove had 9 kicks, 2 marks, 10 handballs, 3 tackles and 1 goal.

Out of 21 players 6 had more possessions than him.

He's doing very well.

That's a fair effort for a half forward flanker who's just turned 18 and playing in a senior SANFL final.

Even more impressive when those kicks are constantly hitting targets.

Just thought I would throw in my opinion on the possibility of drafting JT.

Having lived here in Adelaide for the best part of the last 5 years :( I can safely say that this kid is on equal terms with Gibbs for the best draft prospect I have seen in the SANFL.

JT's skill and determination are awesome to watch live! I have a lot of close friends who are Sturt freaks and they are all saying one thing, "If you pass up on JT you are not a recruiters A-hole"

The way he throws himself into packs and puts his head over the ball at the age of 18 against fully developed men is fantastic.... Balls of steel and skills either side of his body to match.

Jack Watts, Jurrah & Co would be licking their lips at the prospect of getting the ball delivered to them off JT's boot (either boot). He runs and runs and runs all day.... Reminds me a lot of the T-1000 played by Robert Patrick in Terminator 2. The kid just won't go away!

I have sang the praises of the MFC football department over the last 3 years and I trust that they will not let this gem be selected by any other team than Melbourne! Scully and Trengove.... OMG.... The joy this will bring over the next 10 years....

Go Dees!

how exciting is the prospect of trengove!

he's playing in the SANFL Final...against men...that are close to AFL level fitness.

how many afl/ex-afl players are in that team?

give him number 5 and lets move on from u know who!

Concerns me a little that Bode has been selected on a wing in front of Trengove. All be it- may start on the ground. Looked up Foxtel-abc - believe no show here either ABC 1 &2. WILL NEED TO RELY ON ADELAIDE ASSOCIATES.

Living here in Adelaide, I will be keeping a keen eye on how he goes....

Will give you guys a run down after viewing the match

I already have my mind made up on JT, but for all those doubters, I will re-assure you how good this kid is ;)

If we pass up on him the clubs recruiters have failed IMHO..... Better than Gibbs at this level!! And I have 10+ mates (some of which play SANFL) who agree

A reminder that last year in the WAFL grand final Rich came off the bench and didn't fare particularly well at all.

Part of the reason he started dropping down the order in the eyes of the general football public.

He showed us this season exactly how accurate an indication that was of his ability to play AFL...

I wouldnt worry about the kid starting on the bench,id say thay will just start him there to let a little heat out of the game before he comes on,id say he will be on in the 1st 10 minutes though.Just a bigger game & crown so think they will ease him in.Ive seen him live & hes a gun so dont worry & everyone else in the media,ex afl players & coaches all say the same thing. just a few ex AFL players or AFL listed players playing in this game.GLENELG-Todd Grima who was at Geelong,Adam Fisher who most of us would remember,Brett Backwell from Carlton,Danny Meyer whos now on Ports list & came from Richmond,James Sellar from the Crows,Josh Willoughby who was at the Crows,Wade Mills who was at the Lions plus a few who came from the VFL.STURT-Jace Bode who we know,Toby Thurstans from Port,Ben Nelson from Carlton & a few ex VFL players

i think the site of Trengove in No. 5 and Scully in No. 9 next year will almost cause me to make a mess

playing in a game with guys who have been in the AFL system is a fair achivement. if he kicks goals etc...he'd be a monty for #2

Can someone at the game keep a look out for Melb recuritment managers?

    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
