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.

Howe far away.

J.Howe must be offerd a 4 year deal now.

Howe far away is he from putting pen to paper?

This kid will be a star once he learns to kick and run a full game in the middle.

Im sure there would be other clubs looking at this gem.

Get this done ASAP.

Anyone have any info cheers?

He's just a natural footballer. Hes worth a four or five year deal. His kicking isn't that bad . He's a part of the future for sure.

Not a silly thought, but you just have to hope the club are well aware of this and due processes are already underway. Pretty good recruiting from BP with Howe.

As long as MFC dont turn him into a dud, which we have been good at doing in recent yrs....

4 years for player who still by your own admission needs to "learn to kick"?

I like Howe as a player but he's far from proven at this stage.

I worry about this kid

How good would he be in a good side

I can just imagine him at Collingwood or Hawthorn

His reputation would be 10 times what it is right now.

there would be no shortage of offers around to his management.

I hope for some strange reason he likes playing with dees.

If the kid wants to play finals any time in the next 5 years his plans may be elsewhere.

He is the prime one of the un signed group

Nathan Jones is.

Howe is the most talented footy player at the club. Could be anything if he is up for it.

He kicks off one step and as the boys at training can tell you - rpfc hates it when people Kick. Off. One. Step.

He seems like he loves being at the dees.

Always looks happy and a bit of a class clown.

I think other clubs would allready be talking to him eddie comes to mind.

We cant let this kid go fullstop.

This kid could be elite in 2 years.

Col Garland is/was incredibly happy to be at the club I think you will agree?

Very quiet fellow is Colin. And reserved.

It takes all kinds.

And all kinds can be happy at a club.

Including a young ranga whose best mate didn't want to play with him.

(I veered that comment for my own point there so don't read too much into it, BJ)

As Neeld said. He provides a bit of a highlight reel. Needs to find more consistency and that will only come with time in the game.

Hope he spends it with us.

dont agree with everything in this thread but i do agree that we should make signing him up one of our highest priorities, alnong with Jones

If were to somehow end up with no Jurrah and no Howe, we'd be the most boring team to watch in the AFL.

Gee, a senior player who couldn',t kick to save himself, four year contract along with Jamar and Tackles Mckenzie, going to be a long few years.

Think it through - Eddie doesnt come to mind at all. How would he get there ? If he rejects all offers and we cantor wont do a deal with him - two choices - we trade to the highest bidder pre draft or he goes into the draft and takes pot luck who he goes to. Collingwood dont have the money for him and he wouldnt last in the pot luck draft until Collingwood. No way.

Shouldn't be a problem now he is in the midfield rotation. Brain (sic) Royal should be able to make it another of his coaching successes.

3 years, perhaps with incentives. Front load if possible. Avg $300k per yr.

That is very generous for a second year player with skill issues.

If he is the star many say, negotiate a new contract half way through his new 3 yr deal.

    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
