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.


Goodwin: Cats Must Play Menzel

Goody chiming in on the Cats selection issues. Perhaps he wants to take a look at Menzel under finals conditions. :P

Anyone hear this interview? Did he say anything about the Dees?

Goodwin should not be making comments at this time of the year as to who should be playing. He is dreaming like he did on many game day occasions if he thinks Menzel would have made a change. He played JHK  for 3 games in a row when he averaged 3 possessions a game, great logic. Did not play B Kennedy and others once.   BTW Cats got to 2nd of the ladder because of umpire calls at CAT OVAL  (eg the Cats v Tiger  and Cats vs Freo games).

On Friday night midway through the 3rd Q Jeelong were 3.8.26

they could have done with 2-3 Menzel goals....

Scott made a bad call

Chris Scott should be replaced as coach. 

It won't happen, but it should. 

In 2011 Jeelong didn't need a coach, like Whorethorn in '88

Chris Scott has done nothing down the highway

Leave him there ;) if it's broke, don't fix it !!

The two Scott brothers: the most overrated senior coaches in the league, by the length of the Flemington straight.

One brother has successfully driven North Melbourne into the ground with nothing to show for it, the other was gifted a premiership by Mark Thompson and has failed to capitalise since.

I have to agree with that opinion. I really didn't get why North signed him up again.

Because a finalist coach would listen to Goodwin

I know... Who's Goody to be suggesting anything really. 

Still . Just like you and i he has an opinion. 

Hands up all those who've coached to a final ? Not me...not him lol

He is making comments because he is on RSN every Monday analysing the finals.

he is giving his opinion.

i suppose dead air would be preferable.but i doubt they would pay him for that.

lets hope he can concentrate on his real job this time next year.

I find that a strange opinion. You obviously rated the Roos list quite highly?

The majority of people didn't rate their list and seemingly their coach. So they had a poor list and a poor coach yet made 2 consecutive prelims.

They've also beaten us 200 times in a row by playing proper, logical football.

It's an interesting point.  Arguably, the two coaches in the league under the most pressure in their job are Chris Scott and Leon Cameron, who would both have astronomical winning pwrcentages.

If neither Geelong nor the Giants win the flag this year it raises big questions about these two perhaps underachieving.

In regard to the Cats, most supporters have had him and want him gone. Go to the Cats website if you want a taste of the vitriol. And it's been going on for some years. Similarly at North, same story.  An acquaintance and an ex North player gets very angry talking about Scott. Believes North will not progress with Scott and that his last few years have been a disaster from a list management and selection viewpoint.

Should be focussed on one club. 

Keep opinions on other clubs behind closed doors of match committee. 

Too much chance of seemingly innocuous comment coming back to bite. 

So all those coaches who go on radio Friday/Saturday nights when their teams not playing should give those radio spots away?

Re @Demonlandquestion in the opening post on whether Goodwin spoke about the Dees.

I picked up two things:  

1.  That Gus is fine and long term will play as an inside mid-fielder. 

2. When asked about Lever he played with a very straight bat and in Roos style said nothing.

Am quoting this so people can read it again. 

As you say he is doing a job for RSN. 

His finals segments went for about 45 minutes.  If people listen to it they will see there is no reason to criticise him for commenting on finals teams and games.

Not sure I agree with this. I thought Scott's decision to announce three of its best players would not be offered new contracts on the eve of finals was a Coaching and List Management master stroke.

    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
