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.

Or he wouldn't have just posted at all if that's how he felt.

He is obviously pretty excited about the changes so don't see what the hassle is.

If you can't use your brain and see that a captain will tweet that even if we brought in three one-legged men from the local park, I can't help you.

FFS .....This is the 21century There are such things as mobile phones,Skype, Face to Face ect ect ect

Roos can be in contact at all times during the trade period......Would you prefer him to be on holidays when pre season training starts????

Just get over yourself.

No, but I bet he's not taking calls at 4am in his hotel room, when they need a 5 second decision. Why not take a week between now and the draft, when really nothing is happening.

Oh Christ, come on. We've been reading posts like that for 7 YEARS!

we have also got Paul Roos and I'm just saying what I think is that ok. Lol

I like most here am disappointed that the "big fish" wasn't hooked.

However, none of us know what transpired behind closed doors, and especially with the "Tyson" deal last year, clubs 'may' have thought twice about giving up fringe players to Roos. Thinking what are we not seeing that Roos & co see...

Haha, and you slated me for telling you to do exactly that.

Its guys like you who drive away people who get the occasional inside word from forums.

Surely you can grasp that things change and deals which looked on can fall through.

I have no doubt that the Trengove injury screwed us from getting JK. IMO 3 and 12 would have sufficed and once that fell through we werent willing to offer both 2 and 3. If Sydney didnt have Heeney to commit their first pick then it might have also changed the outcome.

The murmurings that Sydney's cap is maxed out seems legit, they couldnt upgrade Biggs to their main list and were forced into trading him last minute. It definetely ties in with why JK seeked like a genuine target.

One of their stars will no doubt be availablr next year for the right offer. Buddy only got 400k this season and his salary is set to skyrocket in 2015 and the year after

Adam Goodes playing on with his huge salary wouldn't be helping their cause. We'll just have to try shaking a few more players loose next year.

If we pull a good player in the PSD, I hope everyone will remember today.

Question for those with more knowledge, can a player nominate the PSD if he isn't in the ND?

I think we did that with Jurrah a few years ago.

I hope we screw Pelchen & the Saints over this low effort, so they threatened to use P-21 on Frost, to force us the pay P-23 to GWS. Whilst they want to take Membrey for a PSD pick... they stil could have trumped us with that P-21, but they didn't bother... just wanted to screw us over.... cost us a 2nd Rnd National Draft pick, instead of a PSD pick.

Rrrsses

they need some punishment for their low act. Did they do it in request of Steve Silvani or Sheedy, or was it just they're noble selves?

Lowden is rubbish? He kicked 3 goals on debut.

I hope we tried to make a play for him.

Daniel Metropolis kicked 6 on debut and he was a good ordinary WAFL player

Shane Ellen kicked 5 in the pressure cooker of a Grand Final

Hawthorn do not have a great ruck division and have not had for 5 years he played 1 game in that time for a reason, and do yourself a favour and watch the game you're talking about against Meth Coast in Tassie not many would have missed those gifts

IF the Demons list management are Not really angry & [censored] off with the Saints for doing what they did to us today,,,, then I am really worried they aren't up to the job.

we have to be angry at this, & we have to go harder at these pr icks.

I am really [censored] off with how we missed the A grader, & could have used Howe if done earlier...

No, I 'slated' you for your hypocrisy

If you think GNF had any inside word you are puling yourself

Remember he claimed we were getting two guy in who would be the two best players in the team plus we were going to keep a downgraded version of pick 2 and you somehow think that because we couldn't move pick 23 to 12 this all fell over - how stupid are you???

If what he was saying was true, something would have still happened without pick 12

If I drive away people who are full of ..it then I have no problem with that whatsoever

I hope they're level headed, mate. The last thing we want is our blokes stuffing things up just to settle a score. Two words: Kevin Sheedy.

not suggesting they get their eyes crossed & bugger things up, but we need to keep an eye on those overinflated aints for a while... maybe jack steven wants out some day.

we should be angry about it, its us against the rest. time to stop being the One getting screwed.

1 more year. GWS have about 5 or 6 of their best players all OOC next year, including Shiel, Cameron and Treloar. It'll be open season if they have another poor season (here's hoping they can't score goals without their precious forward line intact).

GCS lost their coach after 4 years because they missed finals. The fallout will be worse for GWS.

we must have close 2 million spare in the cap next season

We are all disappointed we didnt land a big fish this trade period but the reality is none were really available

We must win close to 10 games and show we are truly on the way up in 2015 and we will land a big fish or 2

I've a feeling next year will be a doozy.. very competative right thru the H&A season for all teams, until mathematically impossible to make the 8, then it will reverse back downhill for all outsiders.

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you his observations from this morning's Captain's Run including some hints at the changes for our ANZAC Eve clash against the Tigers. Sunny, though a touch windy, this morning, 23 of them no emergencies.  Forwards out first.

    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

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    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
