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.

anyone who doesnt have someone like Wines, Viney or Brynes in there team is kidding themselves. My team doesnt have Pederson because im not sold we are getting him.

Neeld will also play Barry because every team needs a speadster (aborigional)

ATM you're kidding yourself if you currently have Wines in your side. Nothing confirmed...

was just reading your post HT when rudely interrupted by a guy on the phone asking me if I would like my selected Wines discounted and delivered.

I take that as an omen that we have got him.

Or that I am mental for drawing a link between the two.

Tapscott Frawley Garland

Watts McDonald Strauss

Trengrove Grimes Howe

Blease Clark Sylvia

Gawn Dawes Byrnes

Rucks: Jamar Jones McKenzie

Int: Bail Wines Viney Sub: Davey

Emerg: Magner Nicholson Barry Taggart Jetta

We are getting more games in players.. We are going slowly getting better..

Can't wait for players like Watts, Tappy, Trenners, Strauss, Blease, Grimes to get more game together..

We are not far off it all coming together..

I'd like to add Ray and Gumbleton to that team..

IMO Gumby could be an absolute steal if we could get him.. I'm off Pederson

Viney and Wines could potentially destroy the competition if we get them together..

I cant believe people are putting Gawn down as a round 1 starter?

Lets be realistic, he has not played much footy in the last 3 years and is still a monster young ruck. Lets be happy if he can just play a full year at any level and hopefully pop up for a few AFL games to build his experience

Wines is going to hopefully if GWS dont snare him be the best player for pick 3 we can get.

If we pick him up, it would be crazy not to develop him and give the boy as much gametime as possible..

F: Howe Dawes Byrnes

Rucks: Jamar Jones McKenzie

Int: Trengove, Pederson Viney Sub: Wines

Emerg: Petterd Taggert Bennell

Notes:

Tapscott needs to trim down a bit of his bulk and gain some pace

Watts needs to add muscle/bulk and not do as much running this pre-season. Lock him in the gym.

Petterd I'd like to see bulk up a little also, become more powerful - more like Stevie J

Sylvia to have an uninterupted pre-season...please

Howe, Sheahan, McKenzie, MacDonald and Bennell to bulk up and become more powerful and confident

Quite optimistic about both Sheahan and Barry who I think will play 6-8 games each this year.

Also keen to see Williams get a game.

Really worried about Bail's kicking still. Love him, but his kicking kills me.

Sadly I don't think Martin will be with us in 2013, nor Morton. If only he pulled his finger out and smashed the gym.

One thing that Howe definitely isn't lacking is confidence :)

Taggert's a very good call. Have seen the boy play once and that was enough for me.

Evan's is the only surprise.

Good team!

Yeah really looking forward to seeing Taggert playing in the seniors. I think Evans will be a player and like the way he goes about it.

Regard Jetta, Dunn, MacDonald and Sellar as depth.

Aaron Davey has been a true blue'n'red warrior for the Dees, but he looks better in his suit up in the Betty Cuthbert Pavilion on match day than he does on the half-forward flank in 2013.

Just blind hope that he'll return to form I guess.

My team given the current state of our list, assuming we take Wines at 4. Obviously we may get Pedersen and another mid, and may lose Martin.

Back half a little top heavy for mine, but I think that's how we'll line up with Watts, Dunn and Garland all capable of playing small. McKenzie lucky to get a game, but gets a job as a defensive midfielder. Forward line looks much improved with Dawes and Byrnes in there.

thx pass

Davey did give the impression of running on the spot this year. Don't rule out a revival. Davey type will thrive on "coming to ground ball" via Dawes/Mitch. Still working on my team .

    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
