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.

Bugg is a chump.

Don't rate him at all.

Out: Salem, Kent, Bugg

In: Melksham, Neal-Bullen, Trengove (or Harmes or Stretch)

I know my changes won't happen, but I'd have all of my 'ins', including Stretch and Harmes, ahead of Bugg.  

I'd also give Ben Kennedy a go ahead of Kent even though I haven't named him.

Bugg missed some easy shots and goal kicking is not really his forte - technically, quite poor

I like him as a tagger - give him a job

Perfect for Ablett, methinks

Goodwin: We're not a club that tags every week but we'll certainly keep our eye on Ablett #MFCMedia

Viney did a decent job on Ablett a few years ago...drove him into the turf, if I recall...:)

Ablett out with shoulder injury

Pain and memory recall are linked in the brain.

Gary's pain is 50% remembered and 50% expected.

Either that or the good lord above told him to sit this one out.

It rhymes with planking and starts with either a T or a W if that's the case.

How many over 194cm do  we have in reserve that aren't in rehab?

WELL I was right on Weideman and Kent with Salem being suspended. I have confidence in Oscar Mc  and Wagner as they at least try and put in but may not deliver to the expatiation of some as they are young with few games between them.I see a little J Hunt in Wagner actually.... Bernie Massey (37)  could play if he was available and fit...!! He was till he shrunk a tad over 194 cm...

Give Trengove a run, leave him in the middle, see how he goes.

I can't figure which is the most frustrating post on Demonland

"Give Trengove a run" v "Brayshaw should wear headgear"

not having a go kingdinga would love to see JT get a run.

Frustrating or not, I would like to see Trengove get a run at it. Last week in the VFL he had 13 effective kicks and only 2 ineffective kicks. For a bloke in reasonable VFL form, who has shown he can use the ball well, I would like to see him tried in the midfield. We have a collection of mostly wasteful and ineffective midfielders. It would be good to find another mid who can balance us out. May be Trengove, or may not be, but the group we have isn't using the ball very well. Need to try something.

Given some of the gifting currently in vogue i can't think of any player more worthy of a game . 

Chances ? B&N (not Good... )

Trengove might get his 'gift' game in round 23.

We don't seem to win games as favourites,so on that basis Gold Coast must really be favourite,they should win.The Dees like to frustrate their supporters,I can't wait for Nat Jones to come out and say stick with us. Sure as being a bunch of morons we will go along with that. 2018 draft can't come sooner,the positive our season lasted 2 weeks 5 days.I am beginning to be tearful all this emotion is just too much. Go the Dees I suppose. Does anyone know whats happened to Mitch King,doesn't seem to get a mention or Casey. Perhaps we are giving him a rest. Mind you I might have a rest from supporting this team.

    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
