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.

Trengove just showed some super silky skills.... Took posession, lifts the ball in one hand over an opponent... and delivers straight to the chest of a teammate....Commentators love him

Sturt are now in front.... Trengove is definately in the best for Sturt.... His work around the ground is fantastic and as the commentators have said, his class for an 18 year old is fantastic.... Up against some big blokes in this match and shows no hesitation at all...

Trengove takes a grab in the middle and delivers into the forward line.... Teammate unable to take a grab..... The kid is everywhere

Great to hear that he is both classy and hard at the contest. I'm almost more excited about this kid than I am about Scully.

Half time siren blows..... Glenelg have a kick after the siren from 50m on the boundary.... No score.... Sturt up by 1 point after trailing by 15 at the first break...

one handed bottle feeding..... Glenelg have stepped it up a gear, and lead 31-19

Trengove had a much better 2nd quarter & had a hand in several Sturt goals.Sturt now lead at the half 32-31.Trengove had 6 kicks,1 handball,4 marks & 3 tackles in the 2nd quarter.Overall stats to the half-8 kicks,5 handballs,5 marks & 3 tackles also with a few clearances.If you watch the game i think you can forget about some of the rumours that people are saying about him beung soft,the SANFL is very physical & they dont pay the same soft frees as AFL,lots more head high stuff & physical in the packs.Hes also very good mark as he has shown & likes to have a jump.Great skills as were seen when he set up 1st goal.Also has some speed & guts & likes to take on tacklers,hes side stepped several players & stayed calm under pressure to find a target.Ive seen him live several times here & think he has massive potential,just hope Melb see it the same way& take him num 2 in the Draft.Donald Dickie is assistant coach at Sturt said that you tell him something once & he just does it,is a natural leader.Said they will give him rests because hes done U/18 here plus 18 carnival,league here plus school footy & now finals,so hes had a long tough year & is still going strong.Shows good character to me

ABC radio commentator said Trengove is probably the outstanding player on the ground so far and no wonder he'll be highly sought after in the draft.

Quite a wrap for an 18 yr. old.

He just seems to be everywhere.... If he doesn't have possession of the ball he is laying tackles, he takes a lot of marks around the ground as well.... His work at the stoppages is fantastic.... He goes in hard as nails and doesn't give a toss if the blokes are bigger than him.... Has great poise and skill when in possession of the pill and seems to have heaps of time to make a decision.... His kicking on both feet is superb and he can take a contested grab....

The kid is a definate pick IMHO.... I am not a Sturt sopporter (Norwood all the way), but me and my mates (some of whom play SANFL) all think that Trengove is fantastic! I would even go as far as to say he is better than Gibbs was at this level.... Has a decent sized body and has leadership written all over him.... Seems to do the things that lift his teammates when the chips are down....

All in all, I think we NEED this kid!

Dont lynch me now people but i think the same thing that he could even be num 1 pick.I believe if he was in melb playing now & more people seen him live he would rate higher,dosnt matter though as hopefully we take both Scully & Trengove,pray

I have not seen Scully live, but I have seen JT live on a number of occasions...... I find it hard to say which one is better as I have seen some footage of Scully which is very impressive.... But Trengove is just awesome to watch live.... Will be bloody awesome if we grab both.... Surely the club cannot overlook Trengove!?!?!?!

That is the all important thing about Trengove..... He WILL make it in the AFL..... And performs in big games against grown men at the age of 18....

Trengove is still in everything.... The comentators are now praising his balance and the way he holds his feet in a tackle.... Doesn't seem to go to ground....

My posts have slowed up a bit, apologies, but the 8 month old demon in the house is demanding attention.... He is a bit sick of watching, what he probably thinks is, Richmond on the TV :D

Trengove in it again.... Trengove stands up in another tackle (dare I say it ala G.Ablett) and handballs to a teammate, who kicks a goal.... Sturt in front by 8 points now...

I will make a statement and say that I think Trengove is best on ground!!

    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
