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.

Did the Weed train with the main group? I think maybe he will play and TMac will go to Buddy

Weid very much trained with the main group. IMHO I think the MFC think weid will be as important as Hogan in our future, something I agree with.

interestingly, I was (unusually for me) listening to SEN and they were discussing the Dees on talk back, and the usual Woods moron called in. Their theme was that "Collingwood should have done what MFC did and cheat ie fix the draft by under performing."

Is there no end for their excuses?

Isn't that what they're doing? Copycats.

I thought they did. Isn't that how they scored Pendles?

I thought of another comeback to the moron and then thought "why bother"

They did and got Thomas and Pendles.

Pity, was hoping for Hoges to get up as well as Watts.

As admirable and as amazing the last couple of wins have been, I think we'll get done against the Swans. They're starting to hit form and have a super strong side on the park. I think the fact we now have so many of our best 22 out plus sore bodies will make it very tough.

Hope they prove me wrong. If we win this and get a host of players back next week, the sky's the limit for us this year. 

Get up Dees.

Reporting just now on AFL website, that we have ruled out Hogan, Watts and Garlett. Concerning.

That's a fair chunk of our fwd line...

They can cheat some more by making Roos an offer he can't refuse!

They did that in the mid 90's and won a flag from it!

Given Hogan and Watts were already out, really only Jeffy we need to cover now that "Tommy the Gun" and "Pedo the magnificent" have stepped up...

Swans are over rated. :huh:

Maybe I have missed something, but Hogan trained fully in the main group today. Why wouldn't he play?

Time to bring in Dean Kent? Fantastic game last week....

It's an interesting selection dliemma.  You'd think that Wagner would be a straight swap for Salem but for Garlett, I see three options - Kent, Kennedy or JKH.  JKH has been playing more of an inside mid role rather than forward, so will they go with the roles that they have been playing at the VFL?  Of the three, Kennedy produces the best forward pressure in my opinion but the final decision is a toss of the coin job.

Th FD probably have data and opinions about where Hogan's at that they don't publish on Demonland... Could be any of many possible reasons.

Am trusting their judgement this year.

Agreed. Kennedy is the toughest defender, Kent is the most offensive and best kick, and JK hasn't been playing the role and looked out of place a few weeks back in the AFL. 

I think Kent might get the call up with a clear message of prove yourself defensively or don't expect another contract.

How does hamstring tightness for Watts goes from a "expected to play against WCE", a "hopeful for Sydney" to a "week by week proposition"? Will the same happen to Jeffy? Who knows when we'll have a full strength forward line.

The only problem being that we play the strongest Swans side of the season so far and basically at full strength and in form, with 6 wins in their last seven games, with us on a third six day break and having played in Perth last Saturday.

Then again we are having a red hot go, no matter who is in the side.

They were extremely lucky to win against tigers (30 points down) and bombers (18 points down with minutes to go).

Also, they have scored 81, 88, 80 and 86 in their last 4 games. We have only scored under 80 once this whole year and that was when spencer was injured in the first quarter.

I think a key with the replacements coming into the side is that they know they have to perform or it's back to the vfl. Competition for spots is something we haven't had in a very long time and it's benefiting our team immensely.

Hogan was fine with waiting another week, he was again very upbeat with  the supporters

Spoke to Jeffy, the hamstring was ok, but they weren't going to risk, like Watts, was going in to discuss, obviously erred on side of caution

On JKH, had a chat to him, prerequisite for AFL team is ability to win your own ball, Macca suggested playing him inside to  start doing this consistently, last couple of weeks felt he is getting there, says it helps having Corey Maynard banging bodies and blocking. Under no illusions he let himself down early in the season

    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
