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.


GAME DAY - Round 15

Hurley, Bagguley and Hibberd just intercepted kicks at will. been a far too familiar pattern in many games this year.

This loss hurts a lot, that was our game to lose, and we [censored] it. Again.

Sad, need an effort.

Put Mcdonald Forward, Hogan back. Something!

Need drastic change.

Does Roos know the meaning of insanity.

Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

Forward line isn't working!!!

Done way too late Paul.

Out coached again!

Doesn't justify the pay packet!

Wear this loss Roos. Bomb, bomb, bomb is NOT a smart gameplan.

We have not improved this year.

really you think Roos has told them to bomb it away? the players lack of effort is what lost this game, pathetic effort from many of them. Extremely poor kicking from McDonald which would have probably give us the game had he kicked straighter, same with garlett and many others. players did not put in and they got then noses ground into the dirt and frankly they did not show enough guts to get up and fight.

They bombed it for 4 quarters, so either he told them to do it or he didn't tell them not to do it at any of the breaks.

same thing happens every game we have forward who don't know how to read the ball or get into position to spoil. Kicking the ball down there should give players from both sides pretty much equal chance to get into the contest but our players seemed to get lost in traffic, held out of the contests, etc... our forwards really do not know how to read the ball

I'm over this footy club & continued mental weakness & carp effort they present week in week out.... Not Roosy fault we just have week senior players that don't rock up to pay!

Hardly call them gutless when they come from 4 goals down to get within 2 points! Calm down mate. 8.18 to 10.9 was the difference. Many more inside 50's as well. No, we were not gutless just inept and 3 posters didn't help at the end.

Fitzy should get a spot in our forward OR back line on the strength of that game.

Agree and it doesn't help when you bomb and always play from behind, instead of running to meet the ball.

No excuses at all. This was ours to win, and the players again stuffed it up badly. It is appalling that this is still happening in games we should win.

This club is bankrupt without any credibility

They were more desperate, hungry and courageous. We were reactive, panicky and led to the ball. Long bombs are OK as long as forwards pressure to follow up. Also too Hogan focussed coming forward and he ain't ready yet to dominate. Sooky signs were there last week from him and again today. Our forward line looked heaps better against Geelong when we didn't have to worry about him. Howe was his partner in crime.

He should have been on Daniher today! They are the same height (and the same height as Boyd)!

If only half the behinds we kicked in the last quarter had of been goals, we would have won handsomely.

Can't believe the reaction on here. Get over it

It's a mediocre old flag, it's a medium flying flag,

it's the emblem for meh and for gloom,

it's the emblem of the team we loathe, the team of the dread and the doom,

every heart sinks low for the dead and the slow,

as we never sing our song post-show

should all the game plan be forgot, keep your eye on reports of the snow

    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
