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.

So am i, so I will make sure I get pictures of the new recruits and put them on my Twitter account for all who want to see

before you begin your usual oldest fanboy in the world routine and pester them from the boundary at training....congratulations as well, that snide comment got you onto my list of posters I don't read

He was [censored] off he got glandular, felt he made real progress last season, coaching staff agreed, hence his second year, put him right back at the beginning of pre season again, hoping to get the weight back on in next week or two and have a program set he can follow over the Xmas break and catch up

You have no issues constantly berating and condescending posters for negative views of playersyet as soon as one of us give you a little negative feedback you crack the sads. Newsflash this is a public forum and no view unless it contradicts forum rules is off limits. You're a hypocrit with a short fuse and bad attitude and I couldn't give a stuff if you don't read my posts.

Listen, the amount of derision Saty seems to attract is for the most part unwarranted, in my opinion. If you don't like the fact that he sees fit to support and defend players he thinks are unjustly maligned, then don't read his reports... simple. I for one appreciate his efforts and have no issue with his level of support; and I would guarantee that if you came under the amount of "attacks" he is the target of, I'm pretty sure you would be cracking a case of the sads as well.

Given a choice of Saty and his unwavering support and love of every player on our list as opposed to many other who see "spud" and "never want to see him in a Melbourne jumper again" for every player on our list - I'm going with Saty....

I like his training reports, and don't have an issue with defending players, but when I see a poster constantly belittle others for negative views I call them out on it. Saty has no problem condescending anybody with a contradictory point of view so I thought I'd give him a little back. Seems he can dish it out but can't take it lol

Thanks chaps for your support, I just don't continue to read some posters input, I am over discussing,, the negativity amazes me at times...... the list I don't read is growing..........

I do the training reports to hopefully give a bit of background/info to our interstate and overseas supporters

A lot of the players actually enjoy the interaction with the supporters (bloody Garland photobombing my pic of Jeff Garlett)

But I also talk to them to try and get some true info or check out why they came off the track early.

There was actually a 'funny' exchange on Wednesday, Dunny, of all people, was near the fence and a watcher asked him a question, obviously not about him, Dunny turned around and said paraphrase "ask him yourself, he won't bite"......it was probably about Jesse Hogan

I thought I would answer this last one, I only posted that I won't be readiing any more of your posts, feel free to do the same, you seem to carrying on quite a lot for something that really doesn't bother you.........MFC is my team, I don't like negative things being said about it, public forum, I will say so, some of the negative posters deserve belittling, sorry

I don't ignore posters, I'm bigger than that. If I have an issue I usually address it and move on.

Can you promise to leave all the new recruits alone for a little bit and allow them sufficient time to acclimatise to their new surroundings? Thanks

Hi Saty we are never going to agree on some players but I hope I don't get personal with insults well I try not to anyway.

Appreciate your reports keep it up.

I am sure that if the players don't want to chat they won't ?

We all appreciate the reports of OUR club and we should all realise that reacting to belittling with more belittling is pointless and self-defeating.

Saty can ask the players whatever he likes, the players can politely ask him to GAGF or talk to him, posters can have any (non-defamatory) opinion they wish, and all of this can happen without this BS.

Interestingly I go to the occasional training session and feel awkward approaching the players (although I had a good chat with Shannon Byrnes last year) for a talk so D.T.I. interaction with them is really quite interesting.

A friend of mine in the UK was box office manager of the Premier League football team that he followed. I once said to him that he must love the connection that he has with the players on a day to day basis around the club. His response was interesting saying basically that to him they were gods on the pitch and he did not want to get to know them in the flesh in case they turned out to be dick heads.

I think that the truth is somewhere in the middle reflecting society as a whole so please D.T.I. keep it up!

I for one probably wouldn't be able to talk to them. I'd be too nervous. I know they are real people like anyone else, but the thing is I feel like I have a personal relationship with them because I watch them every week during the season and watch their interviews.

They obviously don't know squat about me. It feels lopsided and I'd just feel awkward talking to them.

Honestly if Jack Viney came up to me and said "G'day, thanks for supporting the MFC", I'd be so shell shocked I'd just stare at him.

I mean, I'm 10 years older than Jack, but I admire his guts (and guns, lol) and would probably giggle like a school girl if I spoke to him. I name all my Geodudes "Viney" (pokemon reference for the younger ones out there). How weird is that?

This is a Geodude for those who don't know. Basically a rock with arms. That's Viney!

You had to pick one of the nicest guys who is always up for a chat, Jack would love the cartoon, do you mind if I put it on Twitter tomorrow, I told him about his guns gaining a following and asked him to do the very pose for Twitter, he immediately did it

    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
