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.

How does one "cancel" a membership ?

The same way you cancel anything Pro.

Ring up said organisation and tell them to stick their [censored] (telephone service, insurance policy, electricity contract etc) up where the sun doesn't shine.

Anyway no need for such bitter thoughts, I am confidently heading off to the G and hoping to see Jeffy kick 3 or 4.

At this rate you will need to change your alias to just "Optimistic"

Hope we work a few of their key backs over again today in Rowe and their next best defender  like last week  running them up the ground , if Wietering plays back id expect no less and consider playing a foward as an absolute decoy .  We are a tall short today so we need to run run run and get hands on the footy first second and third . Bang

Not worried about putting in a lackluster performance, those days are over, we were unwavering for the JLT series and Goody is just as much a mental master as he is a dynamic coach.
He will get the best out of the players and with so many spots up for selection there is no room for complacency.
I want a win today (Obviously) but I want 4 quarters of footy, I want us to step on the throat and be unrelenting, I want to give the blues fanbase depression.
Our group of kids play with such swagger and lack of respect I think that they will want to [censored] a team, winning isn't good enough today, we need to tear out their heart and show it to their cheer squad. ferocious attack on the footy, dynamic ball movement, deadly skills by foot, and white hot speed.

Saints nearly rolling Eagles in Perth, is good formline for us.  

Yes I suppose that is true. In fact Saints were by far a better team and the " home umpies "  did the job on them last night.

I will be thinking of a good mate and passionate BlueBagger who lost his battle with prostate cancer in late December 2015. Still hope we thrash em!

Sorry to hear that mate, never too early or late to get checked.

Two wins gives us the sort of momentum that sets up a good season. That's why i argue this is much more imperative now because of what we did last week.

So important to build on positives......

On a train city bound, lunch in Richmond before heading to the ground.

Same with me, some joint in Swan St, along with some Blues and Dees friends, then onto the game. For once this game time works well for me.

Will I recognise you by the turban?

No upside in this game.

Win and we have beaten the wooden spooners. Win easily and some will say we were not tested. Win badly and ... well you know what will be said.

Lose and all hell will break loose.

Bring on 6pm and give me a 60 point lead at half time ... please

Being 2-0 is upside enough for me.  I'm sure there will be moments of frustration today, but beating Carlton by 5 goals will send me home happy.

I'm going to the game today and looking forward to seeing us dominate all over the ground.

Agreed! I think we are really ready to smash a team into the ground 80 plus point win would be great

I only realised a couple of hours ago that daylight savings has ended. So that added another hour to this purgatory.

An 80 point win would be the icing on the cake for sure, but I'm still not convinced we're at that point in our journey as a side yet.  We are still learning how to win these sort of games, so to roll the Blues and to roll them relatively comfortably would be a big step in the right direction.

    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.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin ventured down to Gosch's Paddock to bring you his observations from this morning's Captain's Run including some hints at the changes for our ANZAC Eve clash against the Tigers. Sunny, though a touch windy, this morning, 23 of them no emergencies.  Forwards out first. Harrison Petty, JvR, Jack Billings, Kade Chandler, Kozzy, Bayley Fritsch, and coach Stafford.  The backs join them, Steven May, Jake Lever, Woey, Judd McVee, Blake Howes, Tom McDonald

    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

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
