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.

[censored] this.

So should we. Jesus Christ.

They shouldn't be coming out any more angry than us.

They absolutely annihilated us two years ago by almost 150 points.

We should be licking our lips at the chance of giving it back to them whilst they're down and out.

We owe them.

Totally agree. Let's see it as an opportunity to feast on a drug addled carcass.

hope Hird doesn't get sacked this week

Why should they even consider sacking him?

Are you a media propagandist?

He is doing a fantastic job.

It has come up numerous times but do we seriously think letting Howe dish up such poor performances week in week out really assists his trade value more than dropping him? Are other clubs really that stupid?

Richmond almost traded pick 12 for an injured Trengove, and were only lucky that he failed a medical at the very last minute.

So my answer is yes, yes they are.

Now my mum said you don't hate anything in the world but sorry mum i hate this club and the majority (not all) of their smug sh*t don't stink supporters who think that it's their supreme right to be cocky and arrogant to other clubs supporters yet are genuinely shocked when people hate their club.

I hate Essendon....hate them. HATE THEM!!!!

Growing up in the area in the 80's 90's 2000's sucked with this black and red machine winning premierships along the way.

God i hate this team so over the past few years when we have beaten them it's the game i want to win every year.

Smash them, crush them next week!!! Destroy them!!!!!

I'm holding my breath as I type this, but.... Fitzpatrick? I don't know how you fit him in to the side as another tall, but he could handle Daniher in terms of height, size and speed.

Fork Fitzy, not required and not good enough!! back our mids to starve supply and tell Dunny or Garland its down to them!

You think clubs will trade higher for him if he plays in our side and dishes up rubbish like that than if we put him to Casey?

Well, the reigning premiers took Frawley.

The problem with GWS is their picks are tied up with live Academy selections. They'll need to trade out players for more first rounders and trade us that.

That said, if GWS can afford $700k in their salary cap for Howe, that's mindbogglingly poor list management. Although this is the club paying Scully $1M a year, so it fits with that logic.

If we can towel up Essendon next week, I get the feeling that that will be the result that sees Herd out of the building. God I hope we do it!

I actually think we will destroy the druggies. They have lost hope and are mentally shot, they are going through the motions now. If we come out hard and with the right team I'm tipping a good 60+ thumping

umm yes, and Danaiher is 201cms

So if you are looking for a match up, there you go.

Dunn played on and destroyed Hawkins who is 197cm and 101kgs two weeks ago.

Don't think Danher's size would worry him....

St. Kilda beat them by 110 points yet you are only predicting 60+.

Where is your ambition man?

Expecting a light week on the track so the boys can freshen up, Matt Jones may stay in because we are playing the Bombers who can be exposed for run but IMO should be dropped, Spencer will be dropped due to match ups

Jetta Dunn Garland

Lumumba TMAC Cross

Stretch Viney Vince

Watts Dawes Brayshaw

Garlett Hogan JKH

Gawn, N.Jones, Tyson

I/C:Toumpas, ANB, Grimes & Howe

Emergencies: Newton, Michie & Fitzpatrick

Out:Spencer, Bail & M Jones

Ins:Lumumba, JKH & Grimes

I am putting Brayshaw in as I am hoping he is okay and not really sure where Grimes is at with his hand, JKH needs to come in to give Garlett a hand at ground level

We need to drop both Bail & M Jones because when the heat is on they can't cut it. Both dropped easy chest marks because they were bracing themselves for contact. Compare them to Brayshaw yes they both can run, but both are poor kicks. I'm over players that can run but are crap footballers. We have 2 many NQR'S in our squad. We have to delist them ASAP and go for kids who can kick and are smart footballers.

mate, wrong poster. I'm not the one saying it will. I am just informing him that we do have someone of equal height who can play on him.

Sorry yes that quote came out wrong! My bad

Beggars belief doesn't it out with 2 NQR's & in with 2 more. I agree with u we have 2 stop playing guys like M Jones, Bail because they can run & Mckenzie & Terlich because they try hard.

I think you'll find that BPP made that post with his tongue firmly planted in his cheek.

It's a given, Bail & M. Jones & Spencer Brayshaw ( still getting neck spasms he said he must toughen up.)

Fresh Legs JKH, Newton, lumumba & michie.

Howe is safe he should have fresh legs, he didn't use them on Sat.

    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
