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.


Ed gets his wish.

COLLINGWOOD has warned Melbourne there will be financial ramifications if the Demons poach one of the Pies' recruiting figureheads.

Magpies president Eddie McGuire said Melbourne's continued raid on Collingwood staff could cost Melbourne prized sponsorship money, AFL funding, and potential future home Queen's Birthday games.

The Demons have hosted every Queen's Birthday clash against the Pies at the MCG since 1999.

But McGuire said that charitable offering was now under threat after the Herald Sun yesterday revealed the Dees wanted to nab the Pies' national recruiting assistant Jason Taylor.

The respected talent spotter is contracted at Westpac Centre for one more season but has been earmarked as the Demons national recruiting manager.

Taylor would bring the number of ex-Pies at Melbourne to four since last September.

For pinching another staff member, McGuire said he would happily try to hit Melbourne hard in the hip pocket.

"I'll give Melbourne a nice heads-up - keep going after my players and I'll knock off all your sponsors," he said on Triple M.

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere but:

I still dislike the guy but Ed is fantastic for the game, and the worst his prior comments have done is to stoke a rivalry between our clubs.

If he's telling everyone to pass the hat around thats fine by me, as long as he doesn't think we owe him anything.

I don't care who you barrack for, unless your a real peice of work, you would hate to see what our club has been going through recently.

A fantastic backtrack & public relations exercise.

That's rubbish.

Neither he nor any other club will do anything to help us.

It's all PR bull$#@t and because Eddie felt his name hadn't been mentioned for a while.

Agree. Did Eddie start the ball rolling, how much is he sending across?

We should go after the Collingwood recruiters NOW - Ed can't "knock off" our sponsors if we don't have any anymore!

And while we're at it, we should go after Brian Cook.

Throw anything & everything at getting him.

Not a crazy idea, his job at the cattery is complete and this would be a massive challenge, which IMO may appeal to him

Read the recent Herald Sun article on Cook -- he only left West Coast because it all started to go sour and he would never leave Geelong.

Agree

I suppose the 4 games he played for us would be not enough carrot

Can people post the body of the article, not the link, I don't have a HS account so can't read whats been linked.

No they can't - Demonland is not particularly interested in being sued by the Herald Sun for publishing their private content. If you want to read the HS articles, you'll have to subscribe.

    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
