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.

Great game. Curry & Harden going head to head.

Bogut with the quote of the year.

Sometimes I want to crack open a beer and get a courtside seat. These two guys are the two best basketball players in the world

Great game by Matt Dellavedova. Stepped up when Irving went off with an injury. The Bulls wiki page has been updated accordingly. Clips would be cursing themselves, they got smashed in the last qua

I'm a little stunned that the Lakers have appointed D'Antoni as head coach. I thought he kinda lost the plot in NY and the players were running the show (Okay, maybe just Melo). How Phil Jackson is s

Thought Atlanta were going to pinch it today. Luckily LeBron came up big in OT. One win away from the finals but really struggling with injury but so are the Hawks. Hopefully if the boys get through the NBA does not move the Finals forward as Kyrie etc will need the extra time to get right.

Did it easy in the end ... unless the Rockets can perform a miracle, the final against the Warriors could be a classic.

It was the predicted match-up a long way out but nevertheless, it's been an eagerly anticipated match-up all the same. LeBron is looking great but Golden State has the mvp in Curry.

I reckon we'll see at least 6 games in the final - hoping all the games are close from my point of view (as a neutral) ... a game 7 would be ideal too.

Maybe I've got my rose coloured glasses on (or maybe green and gold coloured would be more appropriate) but I can't help but think that Delly has got a serious role to play defensively against Curry (or Thompson). His defensive pressure has been outstanding so far in the finals.

If the Warriors get through then it's a no lose situation for Aussies. Bogut or Dellavedova. Patty Mills was vital for the Spurs last championship, so I wonder if either of our 2 will bob up for some game changing performances.

It's going to be a struggle for the Cavs now. Irving out with a fractured knee cap, 1 of the big 3 remain. Of course that means we'll see a lot more of Delly, so silver lining and all.....

It's a big ask now isn't it? ... the Cavs just have to win tomorrow to get into the series.

For that to happen it'll probably need a monumental performance from James, all the same. Maybe 1 or 2 of his teammates can step it up - that needs to happen as well.

Not sure how we won today. Should have never got to overtime. Back to Cleveland at 1-1 so still some hope.

Cleveland have turned both games into scraps with James being a domineering force. With the next 2 games being in Cleveland the series could go either way now.

I still expect Golden State to hit their straps and win the series but the Cavs are playing very good defence even without Love & Irving ... we can probably expect more of the same. Game 2 was a fascinating match.

My guess is we'll go back to Oakland with the series tied 2 all.

Cleveland rocks

Matty is the talk of America today and the Cavs are just willing themselves over the line ... however, Curry found his range in the 4th quarter and there's still a lot to be played out - LeBron has been superb.

The vital 4th game coming up on Friday (our time) ... you almost feel it could be the defining game now - either the Cavs go 3-1 up or it's all square heading back to Oakland. A more than fascinating series so far.

I'm a bit disappointed too. Not so much because of the result, but due to Bogut not really having an impact in the Finals.

Still, the future is looking bright for Aussie's in the NBA.

It seemed to be more a match-up issue with Bogut ... also, the way Kerr designed his team to beat the Cavs, Bogut became surplus to that design. He certainly aided in a big way to getting the Warriors to the playoffs though so he fully deserves his championship ring. He also did quite well in games 2 & 3 against the Rockets in the conference finals.

The Warriors seem to have a team that can get back to the final too - Thompson, Green & Curry have just hit their prime and on an overall basis, they've got a very good roster with excellent flexibility. The issue for them is always going to be the strength of the Western conference.

... anyway, the league is soaring ... NBA salary cap projected to hit $108 million in 2017

Ok my first time in here I'll try and keep it short. I'm a massive Minnesota vikings fan and I used to be a big pacers fan due to reggie miller but after he and the rest of all those 90's icons retired I lost interest. I listen to a lot of Minnesota radio and after watching the playoffs I'm finding my interest again and I'm on the T-wolves. So we have wiggins and another 1 pick. So I'm hoping for more then 16 wins next season. I was spewing the cavs didn't win but at least bogut has a ring.

Gotta love how the Knicks are going. Phil Jackson says he has done a great job as GM and the reaction at the draft was priceless. Is New York slowly turning into the sporting version of Cleveland? The Yankees had their day and now the jets,giants and Knicks are struggling.

73-9? The Warriors can do it

... and 2 more wins to equal the best start by an NBA team.

A great team to watch and their next 3 are vs Chicago (today) then @ Denver followed by a home game vs the Lakers. Curry is just playing gang-busters and seems unstoppable.

In the end we end up with the finalists that were the predicted long range finalists (Warriors vs Cavs)
 
Great comeback by Golden State vs OKC and they might end up winning it all again ... should be a top series though.  Hard to see the series not go at least 6 games but if it decided in 6 games then I reckon Golden State will prevail.
 
LeBron is going to need some real help from Love & Irving if Cleveland hope to win ... 6 finals in a row for James too.

Yeah, watching game 7 live was immense.  Sport at it's finest.

Though it's a team sport, the championship will be seen as a LeBron James triumph.  The first team to win it after being 3-1 down too.  That 73-9 regular season record that the Warriors set might be remembered for the wrong reasons.

I actually watched it delayed and avoided the result, but jeez those last few minutes were tense. So many shots missing short and you couldn't pick a winner. It was fitting for Cleveland due to Lebron's efforts, he had to step up his game to that level in order to win. That and Kyrie solidly beating Curry over most of the series.

    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
