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.

6 - N.Jones - some brain fades but was indefatigable and prolific

5 - Gawn - dynamic and dominant in the centre

4 - Frost - may have come of age.. a joy to watch coming out of defence

3 - Kent - aggressive , feisty and clever

2 - Watts - has been better this year but performed all over the field

1 - M.Jones - unfashionable but has improved significantly over the year

6. N Jones - Th next person who says this bloke isn't an A grade footballer needs to uppercut themselves immediately

5. Gawn - Star

4. Frost - Best of the back six. Finally starting to use his size and strength along with his speed

3. M Jones - Have to go close to his best game for the club. Didn't do a thing wrong all day that I can recall

2. Kent - A mixed bag but the good outweighed the bad. Very laconic at times, to put it kindly

1. Tyson - Lots of the ball, lots of tackles, lots of work rate, could've used it lots better

3 Jack Watts

2 Tmac

1 Billy Stretch/Petracca 

Jack Viney got caught too many times trying to gat onto his left side . Good side will block him off too easy

We continually criticise tornoveres from the defence, but ignore the midfield turnovers whic leave us even more vulnerable

6 Gawn - Really tried to lift us and was noticeable when he was off because Watts was killed in ruck area.

5 N.Jones - Not always clean but kept working. 

4 Frost - Great dash from the backline. Why did we all have to wait until Round 11 for him to be played as a defender.

3 T Mac - A couple of late kicking howlers spoiled what was a superb game - he wasn't Robinson Crusoe with the poor kicks though - hence no Vince or Viney this week.

2 Kent - Ran his heart out pressuring and if only Dawesy had figured out he was free early in last quarter.

1 Petracca - Great to see him really use his kicks well. He will be something - just not this year.

Apologies: Yes I did notice Matt Jones and had him in my top four Dees at half time. He faded in second half though. His best game yet for us though and there won't be any calls from me for his omission next week. Indeed it would be hard to find anyone worthy of the axe next week. We kick well and we win away by five goals.

Sorry I just realised I left out Tyson - who was our best player to half time. With more time he gets 3 from me and the others move down one.

Love it when it's difficult to limit the votes to 6 and pray for the days when this is a regular occurrence

6. N Jones -awesome captains display willed himself to win contests and was everywhere with his run on the outside 

5. Gawny - went up against 2 ruckmen intent on jumping into him all day and a 3rd man up but won hands down and was influential around the ground 

4. Kent - fantastic run and pressure acts all day. Used the ball really well and providing more than just dash at last

3. Frost - clear best defender on the ground who not only dominated with muscle and size but provided plenty of dash out of the backline 

2. Viney -just hard at it all day ran himself into the ground to get on the end of kicks and handballs to provide a link up

1. Petracca - very clean in conditions which weren't helpful to this but his ball use was exceptional. Showed great strength and power

Apologies to Watts Matty Jones Tyson and Stretch

Watts and Stretch get in because every time they get the ball we get another possession.  The rest are self explanatory.  I'm surprised by the love for Kent.  Great last half but he touched it 4 times in the first half and in addition tried to mark a ball in the square that was going through. If he'd reversed his half's he wouldn't have got much recognition.

We desperately need him to get some consistency through games because he adds so much when he's on.  He never inspires confidence with the ball and misses what many get. To me he's a very frustrating player.

They did seem to have an influence, didn't they? 

Less angry today but, yes, there's no doubt they did yesterday. We do need to take it out of the umpire's hands though.

If West Coast has a three goal advantage at home we need to be a four goal better side (Confucius)

    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
