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 - Jordie. Nobody has done that to Ablett in a long time.

5 - Viney. Went in hard all day. Missed a couple of wrong-foot kicks, but in general was a star.

4 - Nate Jones. Same as usual

3 - Kent. Did some really good things, worked hard and provided an attacking option.

2 - Byrnes. Would be 6 if he kicked straight, but he still got 6 scoring shots. That's more than we usually see form our forwards.

1 - Spencil. Dominated the ruck and did some good work around the ground.

I've been critical of Neil Craig in recent weeks but tonight he was very good.

WTF? Did you watch the last quarter? The bit where we had them on the ropes, were dominating through the midfield and had repeat f50 entries AND HE STILL KEPT A SPARE MAN IN DEFENCE. You saw that right? Craig conceded any chance of us winning the game when he refused to send another player forward. Our boys worked their asses off but were being actively hindered by his coaching. He's just killed off any chance he had of coaching this side next year.

6 - Jordie McKenzie - First game back and smashed the greatest player of the modern era who was also plauying his 250th Amazing effort.

5 - Jack Viney - Bled for the jumper and impacted every contest, 24 touches and 8 clearances. Hard to believe he just turned 19.

4 - Nathan Jones - typical Jones game

3 - Jack Watts - 21 touches and 2 goals. On the verge of becoming a dominant player (hopefully at the MFC)2

2 - Colin Garland - fantastic season continues

1 - Jake Spencer - 41 hitouts and gave the midfielders great service

6 Spencer - I'm probably still in shock at how good he's played in his past three - He actually towelled up McEvoy, Brogan and this time Gorringe was a piece of cake.

5 McKenzie - Ablett only had 19 touches - so hard not to rank highly. And he kicked a long goal late.

4 Watts - very classy just wish he'd lay a few tackles as well.

3 Viney - huge first quarter gave everyone confidence

2 Garland - he's become so dependable.

1 N.Jones - plenty of touches but just wish he'd stop running around the back for easy handball.

He gets the ball first; do you want him to stop that too?

Disagree. I'd rather have the ball in Jones' hands than any other and happy to see him developing into an inside & outside mid ala Joel Selwood. He's become quite evasive in the last two season and his skill execution is the best on the list bar Aaron Davey.

Having Viney in the team has released Jones a little and it's beneficial.

There's surely no way Garland isn't getting runner up.

I assume we still don't send anything to the player for this?

I also assume the above question won't be answered, cause questions in these voting threads never are.

    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
