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.


We Should Have Taken Freeman

Freeman is another Sam Blease.

Salem is alot more consistent and more of a precision player.. personally we already have a Blease, let's develop him into the amazing player he could actually be.

Although it would have been fantastic to have Freeman also and try to turn him into a Dangerfield type of player, Salem is a better fit.

Apparently Hunt could be anything and he's quick, maybe we have a gem in him

Ridiculous call and I'm SO sick of people picking out one factor about a player and then assuming they must be terrible at everything else.

Hunt is skilled but skinny, does that make him another Cale Morton?

I understand the point you're making and I agree with you as far as it goes.

But the main issue is whether we are able to turn Tyson, Salem & Hunt into serious contributors on the field. From now on, it really doesn't matter whether Kelly and Crouch might have been better or not.

We need to focus on making the best out of what we've got. As I'm sure the club is doing already.

Agree

I read somewhere that Freeman loved the hard stuff and is a bit of a clearance machine.

Yet to see Sammy do much other than put the blinkers on, tuck the pill under his arm and run. I love it when he does this however he needs to do it more than twice a week.

I was hoping we would have gotten Freeman but that was based on no knowledge of either player other than reading a couple profiles, watching 2 mins of videos on each and reading some stats. Probably similar to most here.

Still, I have faith that what we did we will out fine, in time

They are nothing alike.

they absolutely are. The reason why they were and are both such high draft picks are because of their explosivety.

Without that, neither would have been first round..

Freeman has poor ball use, struggles with consistency. Sounds alot like Blease to me.

Although Freeman enjoys more of the hard stuff and Blease not as much, they share more similarities that differences.

Freeman has endurance. Blease has none.

Freeman is inside and outside. Blease is exclusively outside.

Blease kicks well off both sides. Freeman doesn't.

The only similarities they have us that they are quick and they play football.

No mine are higher.

rpfc: I expect to win 8 games.

wyl: Well I expect to make finals.

rpfc: [scoff] I expect a top 4 finish next year.

wyl: That's nothing! I expect to see Roos during GF parade!

rpfc: Expecting a loss then hey!? I expect to see Roos at Melbourne Park after the game with the cup!

wyl: Looking small?! I expect to see Roos at the Oscars with the cup running his impressive naked rig up and down the aisles!

rpfc: I could think bigger with my head in a thimble! Roos WINS an Oscar FOR running his impressive naked rig up and down the aisles and then wards off an invasion from a rogue Asgardian fleet with help from a fire-breathing Jack Watts, an invisible Jesse Hogan, and Jack Trengove whose power seems to be time manangement!

Now that is a strange reply.

When did i mention September....You are just stretching the mark rpfc

But then you did believe Tom's lies for 6 months.

You are too nice...AFL is brutal..

I know you didn't mention September.

We should expect a flag.

You are too nice, a soft touch.

Expect more.

    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
