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.

AFL site has added some videos. Not all players are up yet, but there is enough to get you interested.

If you don't know who to look at, Bigfooty experts have named a few player that should be around pick 12.

Sam Docherty - Quick half back flanker with good disposal.

Liam Sumner - Outside Mid with good skills and loves a run.

Jackson Paine - 193cm KPF

Go hard or go home for O'Meara.

He is an unbelievable talent.

Both compo picks and Petterd? That is probably not enough. Chuck in Bater? I honestly don't think we have the pieces to get him but I would like to think we will be proactive. Martin plus the picks may go close but we would seem reluctant to trade him as we just signed him.

Would it tear at the fabric of the club to offer the picks plus a Jones or a (gulp) Grimes?

Can you tell that I am undecided about what we could offer?

Based on who is available at pick 4 this year, I think our offer is better.

I agree. Pick 4 in this years draft, big woop. GWS has pick 1,2,3 and 5 plus many more. The 2 compensation picks will be a lot more tantalising than pick 4 in this years draft. Many on here won't be willing to give up both compo picks, but i definitely am. Have a look at his video on the AFL website, and granted that all highlight reels show just that, but by god he is a mover. He seriously moves like a Rolls Royce poetry in motion. I thought Brad Crouch was something, then i stumbled onto O'meara's video, and wow. We have to do everything in our power to try and get him to the club.

I would be hesitant to give away both our compo picks. Maybe our mid round compo and pick 12

I doubt pick 4 would be the final offer from gold coast.

Imagine getting O'Meara Viney and another pick straight after Viney in the superdraft. Drool.

Sure you don't want to give away too much, but i still reckon departing with both compo picks would be well worth it.

Imagine Viney and O'Meara coming in, with a year already under the belt of say a Todd Elton or Jackson Paine (i'd prefer Elton at this stage - draft camp results to come)

I think two first round picks will get you pick 2 in this draft, and i would be happy to pay this plus something smaller, Crouch looks nice, and if people arnt aware he is apparently the second most effective kick throughout the TAC cup season, as an underager...wow

Question being do we want one "Trengove" recruit or 2 Gysbert types, the trade off being depth, and you would nearly rather Trengove to two Gysberts imo, hard for us to lose though either way

We need midfield stars full stop. I'm unconvinced any midfielder on our list will be a star.

We should definately wave the $cummy compo under Sheedy's nose. It won't land us an established star but it might be enough to get us a future one. I'd be very happy with either O'Meara or Crouch.

Even with Viney and one of O'Meara or Crouch coming in I'd still go a mid or a mid/def with pick 12 this year. Hoskin-Elliot or Buntine would be the dream but both will probably be gone. Sumner or Docherty are probably more realistic. If Greene is available at our pick he may be too good to ignore. Kavanagh is an interesting one but I'm not sure we should be taking any risks with first round picks, he was considered top 5 before his injuries.

I'm a massive fan.

What would you give up for pick 1 in the 17 year old draft? (ie, O'Meara)

How far am I prepared to go?

(Jamar + 2012 2nd compensatory pick + Davey)

or ( Blease + 2012 1st compensatory pick + Wonna)

or (2012 1st compensatory pick + Morton + Bennell)

    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
