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.

The reports have been exciting to read of late but one thats really starting to makes my ears [censored] is Big Gawny attacking the pre season with an aggressive mindset and work ethic. Could see this bloke really tear the competition apart with his height and marking ability and shoot himself into All Australian within the next couple of year.

Also if you want further proof go and watch the latest inside the camp video and they have recorded Paul Roos wrapping up a training session and he goes on by saying that he will make a big statement and he mentions his never one to make big statements, but throughout his journey he has never seen a ruckman train as hard as what Max did. He then awards Gawny with the 'Paul Roos man of the week' by handing him $100. Just a bit of loose change in old Roosy's wallet lol..

In all seriousness though that is a massive endorsement from Roosy to Gawn. But also shows the hard work and dedication he has put in to get to where he is at the moment. Full credit to big Gawn too.

Looking forward to a ripping season ahead for Maximus!

I love Big Maxy, dead set legend. He's going to have a massive year, and kick on from there.

I am disappointed though, that he hasn't been awarded a retrospective MVP award for 'convincing' a certain little turd to run off to GWS.

How about a "Gawn Yawn" award for the best balls-up that had spectacularly good consequences? 

It'd be worth it just for the design of the trophy. :cool:

He will give the B and F a shake this season, and maybe even the AA team.   Yes he is that good.

Yep, always had the talent just body let him down constantly.

Good on Roosy for making him work hard for his spot last year. Gawn has been on record that he didn't take his round 1 omission last year very good. Probably sulked a bit too much and was made to earn it. Now he is talked up as potentially one of the top 4 ruckman in the comp.

This is the kind of development that has Brendan Mcartney written all over it.

Greg Stafford has worked very hard with Max as well over the last year or two

The best thing that happened to him is after starting to get all the praise second half of 2015 Goldstein then ripped him a new one and showed what the top level requires. I feel that has stuck with him and has driven him to go to the next level in 2016.

You have it in one, I spoke to him about that, also he is relishing a full pre season

I remember watching him training up in Maroochydore this time last year. His voice and encouragement were great then too. Barring injury I think we will see Gawn go to another level. 

He is only 23/24 this year. He could easily be the first AA ruck within the next 2-3 years.

I hope you are referring to football and not "yawning"

It can be no strange  coincidence that our fortunes on the field have changed quite a bit as has the ability and output of big Maxxy.

He's everywhere, not just tapping....marking....tackling....2nd...3rd efforts   . Hes just brilliant currently

We're playing better because we're clearing the ball better and we're doing that because our rucking much much better.

The giant Gawn  is hot on form.   I would be very surprise if this hasnt caught the attention of the umps !!

A player wearing #11  in red and blue  caught the attention of the umps some years back.

Could Max ?

    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
