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.

He has publicly said he wants to return to Vic one day, Neil Craig was somewhat of a mentor/father figure to him In Adelaide. I say we have a crack at him? Quality player...

He would provide good tackling training.

contracts mean nothing in this day and age. if we've got the cash. get him. he's a gamebreaker.

Disagree, he is a vanilla midfielder who averages less than 17 disposals per game, and looks flashy at times,

In saying this he has potential and i would take him at the right price, no more than a mid first rounder, nothing lower than 10

Exactly, he has the body already growing, he has the endeavor already exhibited, and he has the X factor with his power run - take it on mentality.

About 6' 2" I think?

Handy burst through type Mid.

I'm not 100% but I'm fairly sure he's got a year left on his contract.

I believe you are correct.And like all posts already state- a great advantage having Craig available to grab him next year.

I like the way he plays, but I would want them to do some major medical testing first. He's had an alarming number of concussions for such a young player and they are known to have a cumulative effect. He stands a very good chance of being forced into early retirement if a decent medical staff get their hands on him.

And I'm sure you're the kind of supporter who rates everyone on our list and thinks that they all have the potential to become

'stars'.

Dangerfield is better than 3/4's of our list when fully fit and uninjured.

Sorry to upset you Dangerfield is half Judd half Chuck Norris, feeling better now?

I actually said he can play, just isnt a "Game breaker" and in my opinion effect games often enough,

He has speed, and goes reasonable hard ta the ball, but 17 possessions a game from a soon to be 22 year old doesnt seem enough from a player who people such as yourself laud all the time

Would take him every day of the week if a reasonable trade was arranged.

17 possessions is not huge, but the way he attacks the ball and could possibly break open games, I can see the promise.

I know promise is not everything but I think he has more upside than many on our list.

I agree with you, but @ 22, he has the guns to go. He looks to have the desire & wherewithall.

His stats are a little inferior to Boaks but is Younger. Gaff has good stats.

Got to be honest, I couldn't take my eyes off Trengove. Wow, he owned the [censored] out of that stage, and those (albeit fake) tatts really done it for me! :P

Wonder if Dangerfield was "very excited" for Craig, or excited at the prospect of possibly being coached by him again?....

Chase him HARD at the end of 2012. I see him as a Dustin Martin with a softer head.

Has not really stepped up to be a true midfielder, but is anything but vanilla.

I'd grab him if we could (although unlikely) because he really has the potential to be a game breaking midfielder. Just has raw power, which is priceless as the game becomes more congested.

Yes he is far from Vanilla, although i dont think he is a "game breaker"

Wouldnt be against trading for him because he is very good, or will be. I just dont go for all his hype

    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
