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.

It is on this Saturday night.  Free Entry.  FTA on Ch7. 

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-08-31/take-no-prisoners-in-aflw-state-of-origin-clash

The Demons have two players in the Allies team:  Elise O’Dea and Bianca Jakobsson

We have four plays in the Big V.  including the Vic Captain, our Daisy.  The others are:  Karen Paxman, Melissa Hickey, Lily Mithen

Most on here are over football but it might be a good distraction from our recent debacle.

It would be great if the mods leave this thread on the main board so DL can be aware it and post to it during and post game. 

Should be a good spectacle.

Go Vics!

Where's the crowd?

Was watching 360 last night and they were talking up numbers of 22k+.

Have they hired GWS's fans?

Very, very poor promotion by the AFL.  Free entry but no one knew it was on!

I thought it was pretty clear. 

The news even got to Perth!

Maybe fans not onboard just yet?

Perhaps they are waiting for the 'proper' AFLW season. 

Or else they are all lazy like me and watching it from my comfortable warm couch, rather than confront the freezing Melbourne winter/spring...

Cryptic?

She is an MFC employee...

They are at the storm game. 

No I dont know, I mean a year ago they probably would have had half. I didnt think the crowd is to bad. 

But yeah I'm home watching it flicking between that and the storm. 

But seriously how good is Daisy? Just leads form the front and goes in hard. 

Its also nice to see the vic jumper on the field again.

Vics were relentless. Now that's how you close out a game!

I may have had my red-and-blue glasses on, but what I saw from the MFC players on both sides bodes very, very well for next season. As good as Daisy is, and she's a cut above pretty much everyone, the next tier on our list is nothing to sneeze at either.

A good friend of my wife's was playing in the AFLW last season and was courted by the MFC and one other club.  She 's been retired from footy for a couple of years, back cameback when the league got up and running.  The MFC were very keen on her signing on, but she chose the other club as the MFC had drafted a 'very strong team for the future' and she didn't think she'd get much of a run.  There's a lot to get excited about with our womens list.

The standard was better than last season. The skill level is a notch better, especially the kicking. 

Daisy was brilliant. Won a ton of ball, burst away from packs, hit up leading targets, chimed in with a nice running goal and was clearly the best player out there. If only we could have a male version of her in our mens team our midfield would be set! She's a gun and a great role model.

    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
