  • 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.

How good was Robbie Flower!

Ash - does it have Robbie's magnificent run from the back pocket to hff and goal at Windy Hill?

Unfortunately no. I've heard alot about this goal, but are yet to see it.

Thanks to the wonders of Fox Footy in the off-season, my Robert Flower highlights library is growing by the month.

I did a little bit of prep work for the video last night, and one thing I noticed was his exceptional marking ability. For all his poise and grace on the ground, Flower was an incredibly strong aerialist.

Obviously this would be one of the reason he was also able to play key positions on occasions, eg. state game vs WA in 1982.

Too true Ash. He was exceptional in the air and many people forget that when they think of Flower as just a good wingman. The closest I seen to Flower is Hird. IMO their judgement in aerial skills is similar.

Many thanks for your collation skills. ;)

I agree with your analogy of Robbie F & James Hird. Pity was the Teams Robbie Played in were very poor-and he spent a lot of time playing in that AWFUL light blue Jumper.

I was so glad with what happened at Footscray in '87 (still my Favorite Saturday afternoon ever at the footy)The week after wasn't bad either. R Flower Starred that day

Pity He never won a Norm Smith-The entire crowd would have cheered.

Ahh well that's life

R Flower is a True Champ-Read his book

Flower was faster, more evasive, and a better mark.

Hird has influenced the result of more games.

At their best Flower is the better pure footballer but Hird arguably more valuable. Hird will be/is rated more highly by history.

If I had one criticism of Robbie it would be the defensive side of his game. His opponents could definately get a kick on him. But I'm splitting hairs. I love the guy.

I hadn't read this thread for a while, so had a quick look to see what other accolades had been bestowed on the one and only, and low and behold Ash 30 and Markc productions have taken off.

The thought of having a dvd of Robbie to view and show my kids has sent a tingle right through my ageing body.

I guess what I am trying to say, is that I would be eternally gratefull to be added to the list of recipients.

Great work!!!

Only 72 days till we whip the Doggies!!

    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
