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.

6 Jones, who is far and away our best player, perhaps outside of Clark

5 Sylvia, who only needs a hypnotist to tell him he's playing Richmond every week

4 Blease, who is going to be an absolute jet

3 Nicholson, whose kicking can really let him down

2 Jordie McKenzie, who I hope is going to be okay after his big knock

1 Spencer, who uses his big body better than Jamar does around the ground.

Seriously, how are people putting Martin in their votes? Is it a plot to somehow increase his trade value? We sucked every time he went into the ruck.... To be fair to him, we were awful all day....

6 Jones

5 Nicho with an unusual 83% DE

4 Dunn

3 Watts even with 3 clangers still had 82%DE and made good decisions

2 Martin

1 Spencer

Sylvia's opponent had 10 more disposals than him; his DE was 52% - just not good enough with his talent!

6.........

5. Jones (The crude agricultural up-country hacks/kicks when he tries for distance are a real blot on his game. Stuff you only see in park footy. )

4. Trengove

3. Sylvia (The absurd attempted kick off the grounds are just stupid; 2 missed, 1 2 cost a goal.)

2. Nicholson

1. McKenzie

Ed: the tiges first goal came after a Sylvia kick off the ground

6. Jones - heart of a lion. Runs & gets the hard ball

5. Sylvia - the class is apparent. Can be damaging. does not stagnate with the footy.

4. McKenzie - like Blundstone boots. Not flashy, but tough, reliable and gets the job done.

3. Dunn - liked his grit, good kicking (long and strong) and was unlucky in several "free kick" incidents.

2. Frawley... sure Riewoldy kicked 1.5 but goal was from a soft free kick and Frawley marked him all day

1. Nicholson ...loved his run, pace and competitive spirit. This kid can play. Maybe a role on the wing and not Half back next week.

What happened to Magner? Injured? Presumably subbed out - 13 DT points.

Subbed out after having less than 5 disposals in 2 and a half quarters and absolutely shanking a set shot for goal.

6- Jones: Not as good as he usually is, but far and away better than anybody else on the team.

5- (Now I'm struggling) Sylvia: Seems to be working harder than he did in the first half of the season.

4- Watts: I'm a huge Watts fan, but his disposal did let him down at times. That being said, he is the person who's hands you want it in when the ball is in our back half. I also loved seeing him go in really hard and thought he was harshly pinged for holding the ball.

3- Spencer: Much better than Martin was in the ruck. A promising performance against a likely AA Ruckman.

2- Howe: Can someone please teach him how to kick?

1- Nicholson: (See Howe)

He often played on Shane "Titch" (178cms) Edwards. He was outmarked 2-3 times by Edwards. Edwards setup a few more goals. Watts turned it over 3-4 times & often went with a 15 metre sideways pass. Dunn was much more effective in his getting the ball outside our defensive 50. Watts kickouts were "agonising". He did 4-5 good marks & competitive efforts today but a back sweeper on a small fwd. Please. Maybe a real test for the No.1 is getting it inside our fwd 50.

footnote: Compare to Deledio. Deledio is quick, dangerous and wins the footy to create and kick goals.

watts was clearly hampered by a leg injury today. was looking to get off for the last 5 minutes of the first half but couldn't because the ball was in our defence so much. he will make mistakes at times, because our players don't work hard enough to get into space, and he has to try and manufacture something. needs to tighten up at times, got led to the ball a bit today, but he definitely wasn't running like normal after half time.

Watts had a bad game. But to compare Deledio to Watts? Deledio is a 10 year player, lifetime member of the club, he's at his peak. Watts is just starting out, don't like the comparison.

    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
