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.

Forget the PP.

The bottom four clubs need a salary cap increase x 10% so they have the cash to buy players.

i agree the PP is dead...sort of lives in disguise as favours come FA compo.

I like the idea of bottom four getting 2 picks as above. Maybe together with a top up capping as per pigdog you might have a real chance

Three weeks ago the talk was finals. Now it's priority picks. Both are ridiculous.

Bump

It is likely that we may not win more then 4 games again.

I hope submitting an application is highly considered if this is the case...

Fail

Yet you laud Hogan who we got from our last PP basically.

We need more talent, it was obvious today in the amount of changers and turnovers we were making that our team just doesn't have the talent needed yet.

We got a compensation pick from Scully leaving.

You wan't a hand out from the AFL from losing..

Two completely different situations.

And Scully was from a PP. So without that PP we wouldn't have had the compo for Hogan.

And yes right now I'm happy to take what we can get to ocl our team with talent.

There is less pride in being bottom of the ladder for 10 years then their is in applying for a PP. Hell we applied last 2 years so ruling it now this year would be naive

If PJ doesn't send in the letter applying for one, i'll happily draft it for him, olisik right, this team needs as much talent as it can possibly get. Still far too many NQRs

I don't think anyone is saying we're set for talent. We're just not stupid enough to believe we'll get a PP. Not to mention we'll win more than 5 games...

We are not as bad as our wins make us look.

With Kent, Petracca, Frost, JKH, Salem, Trengrove and Garland back and playing well our team looks a lot better. I am assuming that Petracca is at least the equal of Brayshaw.

With improvement in Toumpas, Dyson ( who is not playing well ATM ) Stretch, ANB, Watts, Viney, Gawn, King, Harmes and White and then further trades and draftees coming in next year, we have the makings of a fair side.

I think the PP is dead and we have to do it by smart decisions and good development of our young players, from now on.

It can be done.

    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
