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.


Vince v Dangerfield



Recommended Posts

I think Danger can expect more of the same. Once the other clubs know you can be physically intimidated they will bring it on.

Danger is now a target all year,. Brilliant!

Viney and Garland job on Ablett was a highlight of round 1

Vince's job on Dangerfield was a highlight yesterday.

Great to see we can shut down opposition players of their standard and even better to see it done by players who are not known taggers.

I wonder who will take Cotchin and Martin on Friday night?

If Jamar can compete with Maric we should take it right up to Richmond.

Tagging with no McKenzie.... He is going to find it hard to get back into the 1's you would think....

they were talking about it on the footy show today and said what vince did was fine and walsh was wrong with his comments. They actually spoke about danger staging for free kicks and how that isnt a great look.

Wondered about the bad feeling between the two of them.

Adelaide have always been a bunch of petulant and pathetic sooks.

The way they threw Trenners under a bus with the bad concussion Dangerfield got (before kicking 5 goals the next week) will live in my memory for a long time.

The club have a record of going to the tribunal and exaggerating incidents to get people rubbed out. A bunch of flogs

Think you will find that Danger kicked 6 goals the following week after feigning concussion and Adelaide whining to the tribunal. That stinking carcass of a club is yet to get what it deserves.

Go Bernie,,,

If anything Walsh should have a crack at the lack of support Dangerfield got early from his teammates.

A good player has to learn to handle that. Dangerfield and the clubs reaction has just made his season harder than it already is.

Maybe Walsh has said '...until you sign up Paddy you are on your own out there...you support us we will support you etc etc' :unsure:

And the good part about those players above is that they also contributed to the game offensively as well. In the past our players might have shut down one of their good players but not added too much to the contest itself. Viney and Vince have both shown they have the capacity to limit the opposition while contributing for us going forward.

Looks like the Crows players are holding no grudges towards Bernie.

Phil Walsh is a [censored].

Great Pic. The media should put that photo up, just to show that this is just a game (not war) played my men mature enough to know not to take it too serious.

I must admit that I was on the fence about the value of Bernie - not any more. He came of age as a Demon and as a leader. I just hope it continues.

I don't know why.

I'm genuinely intrigued as to why some of our supporters are surprised about such things.

The bloke is a classy, hardened AFL player with experience and form on his side. Any player of that calibre is going to be of 'value' to us.

I guess because in the past our track record of getting value from highly paid imports is not great.

Hes a gun and he might be the only MFC player in our history to have 40 possessions and 3 goals in the same game (vs North last year)

Anyone know if any other Demon has done it besides Bernie?

Seeing how Vince played on Dangerfield gave me renewed optimism in our aggression on-field, although I would've loved to see Viney relish in those conditions. I'd love to see someone do that every week though, not exacerbated by the personal connection Vince had.

Tapscott used to be the concrete dummy who we'd play just so he could smash a bloke, but thankfully Vince has some skill too

Thought id go for a sunday stroll onto the Crows bigfooty board.

Enjoy the show ^_^

''Paul Roos coaching style. It's worked for him. Once. But Melbourne were attacking in round 1 and got a massive win, kicking over 100 points for the first time under his tenure, then the first half last week, they were on track again. They get smashed in the 2nd half last week to lose by a ton and they come out playing the man and being all dour and defensive again. Note to Roos, you'll need to kick goals to win games!

''Paul Roos. I'm going to avoid having a dig at Vince as he was merely the symptom of the root cause, and that is Roos wanting Melbourne to play like a bunch of goons. Paul Roos caused that 3 quarter time melee with his disgusting style of play. If Melbourne want to play that way, that's up to them but they're not going to win many games playing the man and not the ball''.

''I dont expect Vince to be laughing or being jocular, but a the same time acting like a street thug on a footy field is a reflection of the coaching manner of Paul Roos. Disgraceful''.

''Lost a fair bit of respect for Bernie this afternoon, went out to be a thug and thats it. Paul Roos is destroying that side, they have loads of talent but are being sent out to stop the opposition nothing more''.

''Bernie Vince - a bloke I do know well totally lost his marbles today. Weak as they come''.

''I think on reflection Bernie Vince may list today as one of his regrets in football. I dont think he could be proud about the "fairness" in which he approached and played today's game. Its a pity because the Bernie I remember was a highly skilled weapon at his best for us''. clear.png

Melbourne have really molded him well''.

''McDonald (wont get near Tex on a dry day)''

Vince - I think Carl hit the nail on the head - his physicality was likely an over reaction against his old club. Whatever the reason, he was deplorable today. Shameful really.

''Bernie in his latter time was emersed in self absorbed pin up boy mindset. In my opinion he never truly committed. After today his tactics were really outside the ethics of AFL fair play. I would not like our players to resort to what he did. I hope he cops some grief on review to pushing players heads into the ground. That is how I seen it. Proud of our guys not to re arrange his pretty boy face.''

''Melbourne players constantly tackled us at the stoppages before we'd taken possession of the ball. Was infuriating. Because the umps let it go early they had to continue all game. Made it very scrappy''.

I have a different take on it.

Walsh has highlighted two things. The very close attention paid to Dangerfield and the lack of help he got from his teammates.

Watch next week as Danger's teammates start blocking and belting into Danger's tag and watch as the umpires pay Danger free kicks when anyone even looks at him.

This is not the first time a coach has highlighted tough tactics on a star player and it won't be the last.

So why doesn't umpire protect Jones He is scagged every week and is blocked way off the contest illegally in my opinion

100% correct, we get zero protection for our best players from the umpires

Late in the game on Saturday Jones got taken high then another player jumped on his back in the same contest. Umpire called play on. Because Jones isn't a little b*tch, he got up, shook his head, and ran to the next contest.

But because Dangerfield likes to have a cry, he made everything Vince did look 100% times worse.

I watched my daughter play her first game of football yesterday and she was so relentlessly hard at it. Not sure where she got that from as I am soft as butter.

    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
