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.

Doesn't feel like he's been around long enough, does it?

Really enjoyed his journey so far.  Damaging when in form; backs his pace, kicks goals and generally uses it well.  Hopefully the next 50 sees an increase in consistency; this has already improved notably throughout the year this year.

Onya Dean!

Love the way this bloke goes about it. Has all the characteristics you've listed above Nasher, plus a reasonable slice of mongrel which I love!

Yes, the surname definitely fits.

Quickly becoming one of my favourite players.  Has a little 'X-factor' about him, and while there is still room for improvement, when he's on song his left foot and gut running are up there with the best at the club.

As you say Nasher, let's hope he continue to improve over his next 50!

Can always count on you WB for a healthy dose of optimism. It's becoming enjoyable again being a Dee's supporter.

I stated a while back that he is a true footballer's footballer however at the rate he is going he'll be a lot more than that.

Smart, damaging when given a break but my best rap would be i reckon he would be a coaches dream. Has that good selfish arrogance however he loves bringing his teammates into the play.

Well done Dean, Richmond are the new owners of "The False Dawns" so enjoy mate as i hope u understand what ur about to be part of.

The next 50 are the make or breaks for Dean...he's heading in the right direction now but needs to keep on the improve.

Can be lazy, inconsistent, kicking is hit or miss, very one sided and loses focus.

Love the mongrel in him and has some raw talent. Look forward to see how he develops.

Kent and Hunt are good to have in the team when you need to vent in the crowd.

Except when people mistake what you've said, as was the case with me a couple of weeks ago and some toff MFC 'supporter' with his seat cushion.

It doesn't!

I thought he was still the precocious 20-year-old, but he's 22 and a half already! 23 goals in his 17 games this year, a good lift on his (short) career average.

Too late for him to get a right foot now, though, methinks!

The beauty about Kent is that he was drafted on the back of winning the under 18 league colts medal being a full time midfielder.

His career so far has been played on a half forward flank and we have seen the glimpse of explosive pace and X factor.

I hope Kent really sets himself up for a massive pre season and continues to build his tank because a fit and firing Dean Kent playing midfield could be the missing dynamic and X factor our midfield needs.

Kent and Hunt. Those guys might finally be able to bring some variation to our 1 pace midfield. Tracc and Stretch also provide different kinds of run without being super quick.

Built a bit like Chapman, but quicker.  If he can have that sort of career we're well ahead. 

I think its a bit corny when media identities compare a NAB Draft Pick to a modern player with the phrase "He is as luke hodge type player blah blah.

But the absolute worst for down right stupidity phrases are the ones that come from our supporter/posters.

Petracca, Hogan, Oliver. Those three alone without doubt from wat EVERYBODY has seen (I picked it drafttime and happy to blow my own trumpet lol) are on their way to bona-fide superstars. 

They are in extremely elite category of being their own person for 2 easy reasons

1. I cringe when i hear "plays like and love to ban the phrase and

2. They are/will be THAT good that u cant compare.

Has the tools to be a very good player. Its been a fantastic development year for him. He's a tad inconsistent but it's easy to forget that he's still only 22. Could be on track to kick 30 goals this well.

I'd like to see him move into the midfield.

I'd give him go as a tag on Mitchell for periods this week to get him ready for next year.

But then, I waited patiently for Daniel Bell to not become a midfielder.

biggest difference is kent can play,bell never used his pace with the ball, bell had no idea how to play.

    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
