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.

Our captain will be breathing fire today!!

No one on our list deserves it more than Nathan Jones. 

No longer nervous,  just excited to see this  great man lead his men out there today.

Working all day today unfortunately. Can't even call in sick as the better half would then demand my presence at an afternoon bbq. It seems I'm stuck with occasional score updates on the app and if we have a loss I'll be doing the same tomorrow with the Adelaide game :-(

Just get it done today boys so I can watch the replay at 2am a happy man.

absolutely packing it...

pretty confident, as per demon77, that jones will NOT allow us to lose today

Thats an interesting aspect. He needs to bring the effort/effect of that suns second half, but from the outset. We have shown we CAN be mercenary and we need to be today ( good practice ) 

Just put these filthy interlopers to the sword early...and then bury the bastards !!!!

I want to see watts breathing fire. After all he's copped and the team has copped. Beating the pies the team who attacked him to lock up finals

if jack can't find motivation to rip a game apart today, he never will

Nervous about Collingwood's pace among their small forwards. Clearly they brought in Kirby to try and expose Jetta, Salem aND Oscar's lack of pace. Rather than going with another tall in Reid. Hope we can keep the ball in the air and deny them midfield possessions

I'm quietly confident. They are missing 7-8 of their best side.

Meanwhile we are basically full strength with Viney not getting up.

I think we'll come out like we did against Port & StKilda!

Don't worry about who they are missing Mud as it always seems that have the opposite affect on us. 

Its all between the ears. 

Lets hope they r switched on from the opening bounce and just keep going for 4 qrts.

Do it for jones , the lad deserves it. May not be able to watch, too nervous. Might get a tooth pulled instead! 

Go dees and a big game for petracca and watts.

Dont know why so many of you are worried. We are playing half a team whose season is already over. Dead-man-walking Coach etc etc

Have not felt this confident since the last time we played North.

I was at the Western Oval Match in 1987. Today doesn't have the same feel.

1987 was at a suburban  oval which Demons  had to win after a long run .of wins. And was dependent on Hawthorn beating Geelong.

If Demons lose today, they will in all likelihood still make the finals.

The last few weeks i have written we will see how much the boys want to play finals. Well today will definitely will tell us. 

21 players when running out today just need to look at the person they will be running behind today wearing the number 2 jumper. I know Jonsey has played finals for us but if anyone deserves to be there its him. He has stayed loyal to us and has led this club well. 

also it would be great for someone like watts to reap the rewards and for Jesse to at least have something go right for us this year. 

Collingwood will want to wreck it for us but I hope at the 25 minute mark at the final term we have an enjoyable lead and can sit back and smile we are playing finals footy.

    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
