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.

I'm far from convinced Rockliff will become a Dee, but I also see no point publicly calling a poster a liar when I simply don't know their intentions.

So I'll assume they believe what they say, but I also won't be invested in the information.

Naturally, others can please themselves.

But you do have reason to doubt it whether you want to call him or not.  If you know him to be wrong then you know his intentions.

But as you say, each to their own.

Hearing reasonably strong word around the traps that Jack Grimes is attracting the interest of Richmond, Brisbane, Essendon and Carlton as a delisted free agent. 

really hope he gets another opportunity at AFL level, top bloke and gives it his all

More to this than meets the eye. Ever since we expressed interest last year was watching him appear a little uninterested in 2016. He could have received the same instruction as O'meara.....

The only comment I recall being made was that he "talks too much".

That in itself wouldn't necessarily preclude interest from the MFC.

I swear that gets said every year.

 

It does, but this draft has been consistently talked down for a few years now. Why do you think clubs are trading early picks so readily? No real standouts at the top end. When we traded away our first round pick last year it was considered a brilliant move because this draft is seen as significantly weaker.

Meanwhile the same media experts have been talking up the top end quality of next year's group. Every club should be angling to get extra first round picks for that one. Giving ours up as steak knives in a player exchange is idiocy.

Fair enough.  If we were into Rockliff then given the environment that would have been an appropriate response if we were trying to keep it very quiet.

Like you I'd love him at the Club.

I'm getting burnt to a crisp in Bali on my honeymoon and couldn't thank you enough to all the posters contributing to this thread with rumours, whispers, possible trade deals and draft pick possibilities - no matter what happens I've loved the entertainment and the hope that this period brings.

The last few years I've felt desperate during this period for news of a star joining us but it's always felt a bit far fetched with where our team was at.

But we now have a solid core group of professional and talented players that are set on a journey towards some form of growth and success that I can believe in the possibility of A grade players joining us to make the team even better.

Cant wait to see what the next few days brings. I remember when there was a heap of speculation about the possibility of Paul Roos joining us and to me it just felt right. All the talk of Dangerfield / Parker / Treloar / Kennedy / Shuey over the past few years never felt real enough to me but this time around - with Lewis, Rocky and Hibberd - it feels like a real possibility and hope the Dees can pull it off. 

In Taylor / Mahoney / Goodwin we trust!

I have a bad feeling that Rockliff to us would turn out to be Brisbane's revenge for Travis Johnstone and Brent Moloney.

On the Lewis and Hibberd potential trades, I'm quietly pleased and confident it would work out well.

 

Meanwhile, does Brown leaving Collingwood place a higher priority for them to keep Frost, and in turn boost the possibility of Brisbane wanting Dunn?

Aaargh... I stepped onto the spinning wheel and now I can't get off...

    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
