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.

Barrett says it's pretty bleak.

Of course he does. He hates Melbourne. Four eyed [censored].

The only thing I really agree with from Plough is our depth - it's a concern, but bringing in 3 players in that 21-24 bracket and drafting another quality player will help us greatly in that regard.

Is this the same [censored]. Wit that destroyed the tigers for a decade , Hogan Garlett Kent and Petrecca a pretty handy forward line pluse the young lad Harmes had a great last game60 from Hoges 40 from Jeff and 30 from Kent will do us ok next year

I can't get excited by Kennedy of Bugg.

Kennedy is a small NQR midfielder and Bugg a strong bodied defender/tagger who'd be fringe best 22.

I understand we need better depth, but all I can conclude is that this draft must be an absolute stinker.

can you get excited by not having bail, mac, etc any longer? change is healthy, same old, same old, no change is un-healthy.

Warrior is already talking Hoges out of contract scenarios. Saying he shouldn't sign under any circumstances until he sees the coaching management structure from 2017 onwards. Jog on, Warrior.

Who is warrior?

Hogan 44 goals

Garlett 40 goals

Daylight..

Nathan jones 12 goals..

While its not disaster i can see where he is coming from. If a garlett or hogan goes down with injury we are screwed. Need more firepower up forward.

Getting the ball inside 50 ten to fifteen more times a game will help a lot also.

You can have all the fire power in the world in the forward line but if the opportunities aren't there....

The GC trade has got to happen.

I can't see any positives coming out of the filth.

They can't beat what we have on the table, Kennedy does not cut it.

If we can close the GC deal and end up with Pick 3, I'd be inclined then to grab Treloar f$&k those filthy.

I know you all think Curnow, but Treloar is for the now.

i listened to wallace's thoughts and sadly can't fault anything that he said.. feeling pretty deflated right now. and anyone that disagrees with the general sentiment of what he said is surely looking through red and blue glasses. we are looking to merely maintain ladder position, treading water.. not sure what kind of draft pick the club will look at securing to attack our weaknesses..all quite depressing really :-/

Have to agree 'Rocky'. Can't say there is much to disagree about what was said.

The only thing keeping my chin up is the hope that we do something significant next week.

Hoping, hoping...hoping it isn't forlorn...

We will improve next year thru the increased experience of our young players and hopefully fewer injured players.

But atmo I can't see it being much more than maintaining our position as others will also improve.

That is such a pessimistic view. We now have some up and coming players which we did not have before. We can all list their names compared to what went before. So to think we won't improve you have to assume that all the other clubs around us on the ladder also have the same potential for improvement. I see no reason to assume that so I will not wallow in pessimism thanks.

Hard to argue that our forward line hasn't been hopeless in recent years - mostly on the back of poor delivery from an ordinary midfield and poor skills off the half backline.

Thought Harmes showed some promise as a half forward and Kent will be handy if he gets his body right. I believe Petracca likes a goal as well.

Not convinced about JKH as a forward, so another small quick forward would be handy.

Ask Bewick about Petracca - that will improve your confidence that 2016 will be better.

Thats good. But hasn't played a game. Dont expect a Hogan like year from Trac though. Its ridiculous the amount of expectations on this kids shoulders already.

    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
