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.

Why would you drop Tynan after what i thought was a really good debut, when there were loads of experienced players who played like [censored]? Send the right message ffs.

why the [censored] doesnt petterd play ?

is he injured or something ?

FOR THE LAST TIME, YES. General soreness.

Out: Blease & Joel Mac.

The only reason Davey gets a reprieve is his 5 tackles and because the rest of the team are spuds when it comes to kicking.

In: Donald & David Cockatoo-Collins. They'd easily get a game in this god-forsaken rabble.

I feel so sorry for my son, who i encoraged to be a Melb. supporter.

He is 11 years old and cops crap at school all the time about what losers we are....its unforgiving in he schoolyard.

Try growing up in the 70's and early 80's.

These were the postives and negatives for me today: (Feel free to post your own)

Positives: We won the toss, our tackling has improved, Magner's debut, Bartrams courage,Trengove's potential, Jones'workrate and attitude, Tynan's debut, decent crowd, potential of Jeremy Howe, Stef Martin's improvement, new scarf.

Negatives: Bombing it in to the forward line, smashed at stoppages,Bartrams disposal, Watts'dislike of a physical contest, Magner limping off, losing, Davey's form/lack of confidence, moaning supporters, new scarf, loss of Jimmy : (

Casey Scorpions Best McDonald Morton Couch Sellar Bennell

It's quite obvious who we missed today.

Morton:- He'll go over to the west next week and we'll leave him there.

Sellar :- to replace Rivers

McDonald (Tom) 3 goals to replace Green

Couch:- to replace Moloney

Bennell : to replace Davey

Amazing really. The four to be replaced are from last years sacked leadership group. Let's start a Conspiracy Theory

Bartram and Macdonald are just VFL level battlers. May as well try Bennell and Sellar and play Rivers smaller. Let them know that Strauss and Davis are probably next in line. Green and Blease added little up forward and as they were so bad we'll let Davey off the hook for one week. Bate wasn't the worst when he came on but he can't kick anymore and just is so uninspiring. Heavens knows why we kept him. I can't see the point of him over at Subi, may as well give Couch a shot.

. I get some releif from being a completely shattered Melbourne supporter watching replays from 2010 when they played attacking, running football; not this 'defensive structure' stuff coached by a simple PE teacher.

Did any of you read this in the forums here on Dempmland?

He's been on our list for 6 years or so, and he hasn't improved at all. I can't see a future for him. Don't see the benefit of playing him at all.

10 possessions in the last quarter means nothing. At least three of them were bombs into the forward line to no one.

Everyone looks crap to me when we lose like that .10 touches in a losing game( in a 1/4) still means Bate was better than every other player and we still want to sack him .Anyone know how to tie a good noose?

The wedding stopped me from screaming at the top of my voice at the radio in the car and scaring my poor wife .I forgot about it all until I found out we didn't come out and kick ten in the last quarter .I am retarded for having any hope at all .Sorry for my wild predictions .This is as bad as the 186 in my opinion .Mass sackings are no good either .I wonder if we should get a lawyer and sue the players from last years LG for failure to perform their contracts .( ie Try and win).Sack em and go with even more youth upon youth .F>>K them off .(Or are we gonna here about an adverse Jimmy factor?).Am I out of control or are they taking the urine?Why is there no Rivers or Green or Davey screaming and frothing when we are down? Is it uncool to scream at your loose men? WTF is going on with these 26-27 year old plus players?

I'd say at the very least we'll see Morton, Seller and Strauss come into the side. They have all shown a bit in the VFL the last couple of weeks. If Petterd is over whatever he had he's probably in as well. Dunn seems a pretty good chance after three goals, but McDonald may sneak past him and take that spot. I don't know if there would be room to bring both of them in. Tapscott I would have in if fit, but I don't know if they want to risk him just yet. He might be scheduled for another run at Casey before coming in and the road trip to Perth is a bad one for someone who isn't 100%.

Outs are harder without seeing the game, so I'll leave that up to others.

At the very least, omissions must include: Macdonald (loves to fumble and take the game on before he even gets the ball, not to mention trying to be too fancy when he does get it), Mckenzie (i will admit he was ok today, but ffs, learn how to kick!), Green and Blease.

As for the inclusions: who cares!

I'm willing to drag Garland and Frawley through the mud today .

Demonland never knocks them but I am going to state the unstated .

They are all at sea in the air and get out of position way too much.

Blame the mids again if you want but the golden boys need a few kicks up the arse as well .

Good backmen dont need an excuse to keep a man goal less .

    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
