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.

Not sure why people are worried about who's going to line up against us next week v West Coast when we have a big assignment against the Bullies who get back four of their better premiership players for this Sunday's "season defining" game at Etihad.

What happened to one week at a time?

Boring.

It's more efficient to do one week at a time two weeks at a time. Economy of scale.

Clubs and players have their cliches so here's some other mangled cliches to help answer your question: If you're not looking at the big picture then you're not seeing the woods for the trees

AFL.com.au click bait states "a star saint in doubt" but you when I clicked through to the story I find out that it's only Joke Carlisle who is in doubt to play...

Also an update to my post last night that Mitchell had been reported, it was actually Selwood reported for striking Mitchell (not the other way around), but Mitchell still likely to be looked at by MRP for his attempt to strangle Selwood in response... (If only MRP stood for Melbourne Review Panel - he'd be out for sure.)

Any ladder-obsessives  to tell me whom I should support tonight - St Kilda or North?   (Personal prefernece is of course St Kilda, but the ladder looms.)

Hmm it's a tough one, but I think I'll actually be going for the Saints. Although they are only game behind us I think North are stronger and will end up as more of a challenger. I also hate North.

Not really sure though.

Short term a North win is better as it would then leave both teams a game and a lot of percentage behind. Long term who could ever know the way this year has gone.

North's run home is not  too bad

The only teams they play who are now in the 8 are Essendon, Port and us.

St Kilda have a much tougher run with Richmond twice, Port, Eagles , Essendon and us plus a game against the Swans in Sydney .

Based on the run home a North loss might be best at this stage.

North for sure. Will put both teams at 5-7 with percentages below 100.  So while they will both still be in the finals hunt,  they'd both need to win 7 of their last 10 games making it hard for either to make it, and extremely unlikely both make it.

Going for a draw.

That will shaft them both equally.

not really.  They may both end up 2 points ahead of us with poor percentages.  Better that one of them is 4 points worse and may battle us on percentage.  Trouble is which one, and guessing what happens to them in the rest of the year. 

Pertraccattack and Diamond Jim are both equally persuasive.  Arrggghhhhh.....

Just on a different match, I find it incredible that Richmond (on the betting side of things) is going in as the underdog vs Sydney at the MCG. 

I know pretty much everyone agrees that Richmond aren't as good as their 4th placing has them, and Sydney aren't as bad as they're 14th placing has them, but it just seems completely backwards.

We really have to put Norf away or we are going nowhere.

North are an unknown unknown .

Saint are a known unknown.

If you know what I mean.

Huge crowd at Etihad. 

Yawn. 

Nought v The Aints

and Bruce....

The crowd is amazing ..... they had more for Carlton v GWS last week on a cold afternoon.

You wouldn't think this is a game between two old Melbourne clubs fighting for their season

Thought I'd jump on here and see a stream of people complaining about how we "shouldn't have" lost against the Roos. Turns out I was wrong. Maybe Demonland is maturing.

I was waiting until they're 10 goals down, but at this rate I won't be waiting long

Give Shuey a week for the hit on Dangerfield please.

Low impact, unintentional, contact actually initiated by the player lying on the ground. No cause to suspend Shuey. It would be a travesty for him even to be fined for it. The MRP should apologise to Shuey for wasting his time. Case closed !!!!!

    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
