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.

The Good

Jones. Again.

The crowd booing Scully. And thanks guys who were brave enough to bring banners. Well done.

Our short kicking/passing.

Dunn's torpedo from full back.

A new, developing defensive back six including Frawley, Watts, McDonald, Sellar, Dunn who all played through there and it looked strong

Rivers and Garland forward

The crowd booing Scully

Clark's attack on the ball.

Nicholson. I have had a number of goes at him this year for his disposal but he is quickly proving me wrong.

Watts contested marking.

Grimes' run and carry. And his kicking is improving.

Did I mention the crowd booing Scully?

The Bad

Jones' two brain-fades in the first quarter.

That first oh-so-easy goal to GWS.

Some of Tom McDonald's fumbling.

Allowing GWS midfielders to sprint away from stoppages in the 1st quarter.

Clark injured again.

The Ugly

The crowd. Although I did not expect any more than 20,000

Seeing Junior in a GWS jumper. This remains a real sore point for me.

Im Tom McDonald biggest critic, but the kid tore it up today.

He adds A LOT of run, looks a real player, dominated Cameron to the point where

Sheedy had to throw him down back to stop the flow.

The Good

The fact that we smashed them after that slow start

A certain ex-player may well thank God that he got money because he got a taste of how far away success is for him

The Bad

Mitch the Incredible's early exit... Was Buddy like early on

The Ugly

Our obvious instruction to play on at all costs through the middle... Sometimes you are better off to settle and lift your eyes

Good:

Dunny was surprisingly good across the whole game today. Watching him closely in one-out marking contests, he is veeery clever with his body position. Might have promoted himself off the sub bench for a few games.

Clarky - superb before the injury.

Wattsy, Jonesy, Riv, T.Macca, Nicho.

Scoring 7 goals from former defenders - Rivers and Garlo.

Bad:

Moloney today.

Ugly:

The Hare Krisha gits in the GWS squad. Must be paid handsomely by Vlad to wear that kind of crap.

And Sheedy - the main reason I replied to this thread in the first place, then forgot to include the Master P_ick in the first reply.A real ugly moron.

Good

The goal by Blease on his left foot on the run on the boundary line.

Run from Tom McD out of defence.

Having Rivers, Clarke, Garland and Howe as marking options forward.

Bad

Missed marks and targets from Grimes

Ugly

Dominance from Russian with takeways by GWS?

Sylvia running into goal not spotting up Davey and missing his shot.

the ugly - sam blease's tackle on the members side, spun the guy at least 540, possibly more and still didnt get holding the ball. not sure what we have to do to get a holding the ball.

But wasn't it a great tackle?!

He's a fearless little goer the little fella, can't wait for him to have Viney pumping handballs to him for the next decade.

And he is refreshingly arrogant with what he tries to do on the field.

Why has more not been made of this? That goal was an absolute screamer!

Because he didn't mean to do it, and from the sheepish look on his face I think similar decisions to go for goal have landed him in hot water in recent games...

Still an ace goal.

One commentator reckoned he was trying to centre the kick.........as a 1 eyed Dee fan I reckon he kicked for goal.

Fair call - I obviously wasn't watching that closely. I thought he was in space and had a ping. Hahaha - I'd be saying 'meant it'

And when Magner outbodied whoever it was and was waltzing in to goal, pinged for in the back.

Blatantly wrong.

Ugly: Four of their five first quarter goals came directly from our poor skills. If we hadn't made those crappy turnovers for no apparent reason it would have been a truly spectacular mauling.

The turnover rate seemed a bit lower yesterday. No Cales fails.

The Good

We won a game we should have won

The Bad

First 15mins of the game, we were woeful.

The Ugly

Brent Moloney, what is going on with you, I had you pencilled in for 3 Brownlow votes in this game but you were close to our worst on ground

    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
