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.

each midfielder we recruit should hopefully have their own differing skill-sets, some quicker, some stronger some great hands inclose, some strong overhead, some elusive up forward, some elite kicks bringing the ball from defence.

we should continue this draft/recruiting method, as we will turn some into flankers & half forwards, some small defenders, etc,

Happy for us to sound out Zac Jones at the appropriate time.

lets also look for some mature key talls, rookie another ruck, & look to maybe pickup a tall forward/ruck prospect such as maybe gorringe or other.

Henderson would be high on my list to chase, a mature frost; can't have too many. who can also swing into the ruck when required.

Henderson would ease our reliance on Dawes marking up forward. ;)

He's not bad wyl, goes hard, wins his own ball, uses it well, very similar type player to Nathan but a little quicker.

Stands up in big games, dominated the finals at under age level

Thanks mate. Have not seen him in action

Happy to go hard at him if he can be a great player.

Sentiment is not a part of it

Sydney will have to trade out some talent to land Callum Mills (Academy) and Josh Dunkley (F/S) if the AFL introduces the new points system. Both are rated top 5 picks.

We should be first in line with Roos connections.

Had a ripper preseason and is in great condition and bulked up 4 or 5 kgs. Has been among the best in the NEAFL in all bar 1 match this season, including 2 BOGs. Yes their midfield is rock solid and hard to break into but im surprised he has not had a callup....maybe with Heeney injured he will get a chance this weekend.

Or is it possible he is on the outer like Aish at the Lions? I hope so! Surely we will be in his ear by now.

Jones would not be on the outer at the Swans. They just have incredible depth.

Would absolutely love to see him in the red and the blue. For many reasons.

He played quite well in his limited opportunities last year, will be a player thats for sure.

Mods can u change to Zak please, before the spelling nazis get a hold of me....cheers!

Doesn't excite me. Could be a good player, but I get the sense that a lot of the love for him is sentimental.

Have to agree. Not enough of him has been seen yet to warrant the excitement by some.

In fact, it seems like he's getting the love that many of our high draft picks have received in the past...

Zak Jones should be our number 1 recruiting target.

Why would that be? Just because his name is Jones doesn't make him an autoselect.Or does it?

He's not on the outer. They just let their kids develop.

True, and they are lucky enough to have the depth to take that option. I'd love to see our kids play the majority of their games in the twos but it just can't happen.

I'd be all for recruiting Jones IF he brought something we need to the table - can he find the footy, have good skills etc. If not then I think we need to look elsewhere.

    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
