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.

If you believe the story, it looks like we are on the verge of major changes. Strap yourself in and hold on. It will be a very interesting off-season.

I must say I'm very surprised to hear this sort of chatter about Schwab, every time I hear him talk about the club it is with nothing but love and devotion to getting us back on top. He, along with Stynes, has been able to get us from being on the verge of death to out of debt and surely that is his job, if anything I would just tell him to keep out of the football department if there truely is a rift, and given his staunch support of Scully I'm a little shocked to hear him going could make a difference.

Schwab wants Bailey gone from what im have heard but is on his own.

If we are going to have a messy offseason what do we call what is happening now.

Wish i knew how to hack phones like News Of The World.

I still love the club no really i do.

Schwab? Didn't this guy essentially re-create us? Re-create our brand? He can't face the sack. He has the passion and urgency that is severely lacking. He gave me faith that we were on the right track.

I put blame on the coaching staff, and the culture in general.

Well that's a f***ing disgrace if true (the protest part). I, along with 35,000 others pay good money to support this club and if they go out and deliberately don't give 100% then we all deserve a full refund.

Can someone explain to me why players would be so upset with Schwab anyway? He's the CEO, they kick a ball around. What's the link and what's he doing that has been so bad?

What exactly has Schwabby done wrong ?? Has he actually called for the various components of this club to be accountable, in the same way he would be ??.

Players calling him to task?? thats laughable if true. Because so many have benn putting in 100% and ripping it up out there. Id be sacking players first..

This does not bode well if true....Not one little bit.

Something is very very wrong at Melbourne.

Tony Shaw and Robert Walls were shocked that such a thing could occur as would every other Melbourne person. She is reporting that all sorts of meetings involving Melbourne powerbrokers have been occuring in the last 12 hours.

I believe the link is that there have been misgivings about Cameron Schwab's heavy involvement in the actual playing football side of things.

Don't mean to put a TS comment in this thread, but just want to report Caroline's comments this morning on 3AW. She stated that Tom Scully would stay at the MFC if Cameron Schwab left.

If this is true that is an absolute disgrace. I am all for the leadership group having a voice but to bring the club into disrepute is beyond words. For the players to disrespect the jumper & loyal members of the club is an indictment on their character. In my opinion any player that has instigated this on field rebellion should never wear the red n blue ever again. I am shocked & utterly disgusted that the leadership group could put their selfish egos before the members of the club, the people who have kept this great club alive. Jim has an immense battle on his hands if these reports are true.

the day the players start thinking they rule the roost is the day its all over red rover !!

and if any player can be shown to have put on the brakes then they should be dropped for 3 weeks or so. No questions asked et. I dont care if we do get belted pillar to post as a result but NO player is ever to step foot on the fileld as a Demon and not put in 100%.

Im struggling to comes to terms with this notion.. Not only unpalatable but nauseating !!

I'm confused. Are you saying they told the board during the week that they would throw the game in protest? Surely not, so what are you saying?

Sorry, to clear up the confusion.

Caroline Wilson then followed that statement by saying herself that in her opinion yesterday's performance by the players was in a way a protest of what is occuring at the club, but not related to the coach.

I have full faith in "staff writers" offering truthful information and I believe their every word.

In this instance you should.

I will go as far as to say that whoever instigated this on-field 'protest' should be immediately sacked by the club, never to wear the red and blue again.

Get in there Jimmy and weed the ringleaders out!

x 1000 dont care who it is. This is a cancer that needs to be nipped right now.

    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
