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.

Good luck to all the guys and in particular to captain-coach elect Wise.

I've decided that it's time to follow Roosy and start a succession plan. I'm travelling overseas a couple of days after the game and while I'll try to get down to watch, I can't promise full commitment.

Rollo - are we getting waiver forms in from the Bomber Blitz people or shouldn't we mention it? :)

We will keep you to that promise, deanox.

Having professionally assisted deanox in his ankle rehab, I'm sad that he's not available. His ankle may be tested more with Buck's activities however.

As very dubious compensation for his absence, if I'm available I'd be happy to fill the little known and equally dubious role of 'playing Physio'. Availability currently unknown however.

It is coming along great Webber, and will back back to see you as soon as in back in town (travelling with work); I think I'm a little bit passed my next planned appointment!

forgot to mention that hards, cactus and freak are permanently unavailable...

hards was the captain/coach in our very first forum footy game. He played up front and led us to victory against the sainters.

Up to then, the sainters had dominated forum footy. Thanks to hards, doggo, cactus, freak and many others, we dees have dominated forum footy since 2005.

Freak was the first of our run and carry guys. His controversial goal against the sainters set up the demonland dominance. Then, we called it demonland/demonology.

Just 3 seasons ago, we ran out of challengers and demonland played demonology, with a narrow victory to demonland. Given the recent demise of demonolgy, this will never happen again.

Cactus was perhaps the best player to ever play for us. An agressive forward, he averaged 4 goals a game. I remember one game (it might have been 2008) when coach redleg banished cactus to the backline after half-time because we we so far ahead...

Best wises to these 3 guys...

I hope the current batch of playeres can keep up the tradition, and make their own history...

How's our gameplan looking? Any prospective positions yet?

Hey, Django...

from long experience ( we have been undefeated since 2007), we have learned that nothing can be planned until game day...

People who promise to turn up don't arrive...

People who say they are unavailable actually turn up...

People who we have never heard from turn up and win games for us...

If you search on the site for "scotty's little brother's little mate" you will see what I mean...

On game day, we will have a whiteboard. The players who turn up will be entered on the whiteboard. Captain/Coach Red Fox will decide on the starting line-up/starting positions.

Rollo2 will organise the rotations from the bench.

After that, it's just mayhem.

Just a question, Rollo.

Is it just standard rules applicable to forum footy or is it modified in anyway?

Hey, McQueen...

I feel like I am on talk-back radio...

This question has been asked for almost a decade, and the answer is always the same...

Female players may not be tackled, although they can be tickled, which usually brings the pill back into play...

Youngsters (under 10's) can be held, but not ridden into the ground...

Our umpys are AFL/VFL standard, so all the normal rules apply unless you are female or under 10...

The pies had a female play last year and she had a red hot crack and she had teeth. My plus 1 is confirmed if needed.

I have agreed with scotty21, the bomberblitz organiser, that the team that has to play two games in a row is at a real disadvantage.

Last year, we played the dons and won.

But then we had to take on the pies with only a 10-minute break.

The "pies" consisted of a dozen fresh players, supplemented by the best players from bomberblitz.

We lost that game, and only won the day on percentage.

So, this year, the umpys will supervise the toss of a coin to see which of the 3 teams has to play 2 in a row.

Regards to all,

Rollo.

    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.

    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

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P
