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 wouldn't be dropping Salem tonatopia. For mine, with what little be did, e looks the goods.Depending on how Toumpas plays, I'd consider him or Blease for Byrnes. Edited by Return to Glory

It's bloody unbelievable.

No negativity to any player this week please.

Fair call Ron.

PR,doesnt give games to reserve players unless warranted.

likes to stick with same 22 if possible.

learn how to defend a game together,and learn when and how to attack.

classic shutdown footy is a team thing and PR wont change things when everybody is sticking to the game plan.

macdonald is growing in confidence every game,lets not sweat on his mistakes yet.

Salem.may not have got big numbers but his pressure, tackling, bumping and shepherding was outstanding for a kid in his second game. I reckon he would have thrived had georgiou been subbed in the first instance.

Give him a full game.

I am amazed by the continual hope for Blease to get a game over player x. I think that horse is close to bolted and would take a mammoth turn around in the boy that I dont think he has in him.

Agreed. Has done nothing to speak of at Casey.

At the moment he is completely and utterly undeserving of a spot in the side, and as long as Brett Allison's reviews continue to say things like 'he needs to work on the defensive side of his game' he will remain undeserving.

Bit harsh on Frawley. He was injured. Presented.

Grimes : Gutsy & Great

Jetta : proving me and a few others wrong. Well done for persevering

JKH : Thought he was NAB /Foxtel flavour of the week. I was wrong !!!

Bail/Terlich/Dunn : Roman road builders (everything in a straight line)

Howe : Confidence returning

Watts : showed good heart and chased.Next step confidence return.

Coaching Staff : Patient & Progressive

Macca: Another dragon slain.

Dangerfield : dont need him ( he is good, though !!)

Jones/Dawes/Grimes : Leadership and courage

Viney: Learning from Cross

Cross: Great pickup because he plays with heart

Doesn't a win change attitude ???

Notice in last couple of weeks : no head dropping when things go awry.

Frawley - hampered early with injury, but gutsed it out and kept one of Crows best defenders busy

...and allowed us to keep the rotations going. Not his best day but he did his job under trying conditions...injury.

He now reminds me of Kane Tenace. Has the pace but could do little with it. Like you say - needs a mammoth turn around to retain his spot on the list.

I am surprised that some posters were unimpressed with Salem. The goal that he kicked when he was first substituted was inspiring! I am sure the Roos will select him again next week!

A la Blease I think we all live in hope, that is all. At least he was one of the picks from that abominable period where BP was calling the shots and he had an obvious weapon, that maybe BP actually saw, who knows. He is quick and gee do we ever need leg speed on the outside but unfortunately it seems Sam's brain will never catch up with his speed of body. And if after 5 years he is still learning to be defensive in the magoos well, let's just move on, which is a real shame.

I have watched him play in the VFL and he looks the goods but he so often wins the ball and unloads a spearing pass straight to the opposition. It is so frustrating.

    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
