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.

Father-son Jack Viney

Not sure if anyone knows of this yet but tomorrow at 10:20 before the Grand Final the SA under 16 side will be playing the VIC Country under 16 side coached by Nathan Buckley.1 player in SA side is Jack Viney son of former Melb great Todd.Here could be a future Father-Son pick for us so will be interesting to see how he goes.Jack is still eligible for the under 16s next year so it will be afew years yet but obviously he has some potential.Also just keep your eye on a young lad called Mitchell Grigg who plays at Nowood & ive seen him close up.He started the year in the under 16s then dominated & went to under 18s,got a B.O.G then went up to the reserves,after 2 games he went up to Norwoods League side & played the last few games there,thats pretty good for a kid to play at that level when only 16,Norwood also has a young Ruckman who did the same thing & replaced the injured ex Swans Ruckman Stephen Doyle,hes about 198 & 90+ kgs.Just a couple of youngsters to watch but id be keen on Father-son Viney

The two U/16 finals moved to Visy Park to protect the playing surface for the big one. Would get pretty cut up by the time StKilda and Geelong took to the field with the weather forecast. Disappointing for the players but meh...the good ones will get their chance eventually :lol:

You think with the huge coverage, starting really early that they'd have at least some highlights

of all the pre games.. you'd think..

On 2nd thought I wouldn't think so, based on extremely limited appeal.

I actually have a reason to want to watch it, and i'd still pass it up on a coin flip

I am good friends with Jack Viney's old coach. His coach of the last couple of seasons until he went back to Adelaide this season as his old man became assistant coach in Adelaide after a long stint at Hawthorn.

Anyway, his old coach (who is a die hard Melbourne supporter) is extremely excited about this kid. He said he had "never seen a player take apart a game like Jack Viney". He also said that he is fast, has all the skills on both sides of his body, is a superb kick and is very, very tough. He said he was the best u15 player (2008 season) he had ever seen and that if the draft for this group was today he would likely go number one.

Jack Viney is a Hawthorn supporter after being brought up at Hawthorn with his dad assistant coach. However, he has already excepted he is highly likely to become a Demon. Simply as a first round prospect he will have a choice of either signing to go to West Sydney or taking father son as a Demon. He chooses us. The MFC is in regular contact with Jack Viney, if his form continues over the next two seasons he will be picked up f/s and become a demon, further adding to a impressive list of midfielders.

It is my understanding that Jack just turned 15 in April this year therefore another 3 years of under age football. I therefore understand that West Sydney will not get a look in,as in the 2012 draft, they can sellect players but he will only qualify as a father/son. This is my interpretation as in http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,2...8851,00.html.If I am wrong, please explain. Thanks

So we agree then. If he was 14yo in March 2009 with an April birthday he will be 16yo in April 2010 and eligible for the 2011 draft. This being the case if he is any good he will have to make a choice between MFC of West Sydney. My understanding is that he has already made his mind up to go to MFC if given the f/s opportunity.

Sounds like a skillful and pacy version of his old man (insert mental picture of homer drooling over tasty food here)

Ok so If Jack Is available In 2011 (the West Sydney draft) and is as decent as they say, we could be in a prime position. Say Jack Is rated a top 10 pick. By 2011 we could finish around 7th-10th Id say, after all the West Sydney picks that would mean our first pick would be something like pick 25-30. Meaning we could land a top 10 pick around pick 30 under the father son rule.

Obviously I have no idea how good Viney Is but here's hoping.

    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
