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.

I predict that there will be complaints about the coach, the fact that we are worse than people expected and our recruiting because some other club got a player who is showing a lot in their first yea

Yeah, why on earth would we want someone who leads by example, who provides mentoring for the younger players and who proudly represents his club at any given opportunity?

I presume that Heath Scotland was put in that list as a joke? To see if we actually read the list before ticking.

Tona, why would we offer Dayle Garlett a big contract when I'm quite sure he'd be happy to take any AFL opportunity that comes his way?

Why do people want Cooney? His knee is completely shot.

Have no idea... Hes a name, people gravitate to it. ( seemingly without thinking )

Neil Craig as coach with Cameron Ling and Nathan Bassett signing on as assistants and Rohan Welsh to be on the payroll part time splitting his time between Casey senior coach & Melbourne. One of those three to take over from Craig after 3-5 years.

Jack Watts & Colin Sylvia to sign 3 year deals.

Max Gawn 2 year deal.

Biggest recruit being Pick 2 James Aish with one of Sheed or Dunstan slipping through to our 2nd round pick.

Daniel Cross may sign as a free agent or alternatively Rodan will go on 1 more year.

The improvement to come from within.

Gawn: 3 year contract

Watts: 3 year contract

Sylvia: signs for 2 years

Jesse Hogan to be a major influence in his first year at the club and finish 2nd behind Jack Martin for the rising star award.

Jack Grimes as captain with Nathan Jones as vice.

Jack Trengove to have a full pre-season and be our biggest improver.

Jack Viney to be fit for the entire year and dominate in our midfield.

Jack Watts to be played predominantly in our forward line and only dropped back into defence when required.

Mitch Clark to finally be injury free and dominate up forward.

Jeremy Howe to take mark of the year (again) and play more midfield time.

Max Gawn and Jack Fitzpatrick to be the number 1 and number 2 rucks.

Mark Jamar to be moved on.

Recruit the best young midfielder available with our number 2 pick in the draft.

The Dees to finish above the Bulldogs on the ladder at the end of 2014 (I have $100 on it)

Changing my predictions. I'm feeling a lot more optimistic today after Watson's comments on Roos and Sylvia stating that he wants to stay.

Paul Roos as coach

Jack Watts & Colin Sylvia sign 3 year deals.

Max Gawn 2 year deal.

Free Agents: Dale Thomas (5 year deal) & Daniel Cross (2 year deal)

Trade Pick 2 to Port Adelaide for Ollie Wines (they can have the local boy Aish)

Trade Pick 19 & Fitzpatrick to GWS for Adams & a third round pick

Trade Pick 36 to Essendon for Leroy Jetta & a fourth round round pick

Go to the draft with Picks 35, 54 & Essendon's 4th round pick in the 60's.

Our line up for Round 1 2014

FB: Colin Garland, James Frawley, Dean Terlich

HB: Jeremy Howe, Tom McDonald, Jack Grimes

C: Colin Sylvia, Daniel Cross, Jack Viney

HF: Jack Watts, Chris Dawes, Luke Tapscott

FF: Jesse Hogan, Mitch Clark, Leroy Jetta

FOLL: Mark Jamar, Oliie Wines, Nathan Jones

INT: Taylor Adams, Dale Thomas, Jack Trengove

Yeah, why on earth would we want someone who leads by example, who provides mentoring for the younger players and who proudly represents his club at any given opportunity?

Because a captain needs charisma, which Nathan Jones lacks. A captain needs to speak well. Nathan Jones does not. A captain needs to be an attractive billboard for major sponsors. Yeah, nah.

Nathan Jones is an excellent player, is a good leader (as you say, mostly by example, which is only one facet of great leadership) and seems to be a good bloke too. He still isn't captaincy material.

How can we get Trengove running freely, how can we get Sylvia's arousal levels up each and every game, how can we get Tapscott finding the footy, how can we get Howe impacting the game more frequently, how can we get Toumpas some space with the ball, how can we get Strauss running off half back through the corridor and delivering forward, how can we get Blease the footy 10 more times a game.

The MFC has untapped potential.

    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
