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's great to see our players doing a little extra before the official start to pre-season.  Listening to the speeches at the B&F it sounded like this is the standard they are hoping to set with our squad.  Don't just do the official training sessions, go out and work on your own as well. 

Of course, if they want the players to do more than the official work-outs and training sessions, they could just add more to the official workload rather than hinting that they want more but not outright saying so.  Maybe they have limits imposed by the AFL on how much they can require of the players? 

This is industry standard for successful teams.

Luke Hodge was just on SEN, said that after their first premiership they celebrated for 6 weeks, but it should've only been 3.  They missed the finals the following year.  But that's 3 weeks for winning a flag.

I wonder how many of our blokes downed tools for 2+ weeks this preseason.  I'm all for having a spell, but it's what you do in that spell that can take you from being good to being great.

Careful Mr. Leg that might be viewed as derailed the thread!!!

Well let's get back on the right track. I haven't seen much in Dion yet but he has time to develop under our better run FD and stronger list.

A common thread of successful athletes at the national and international level is that they are self starters and self motivated and they keep themselves in good shape the whole year, they don't go on benders out of season and do not get out of shape.  Their self discipline applies to their physical condition and what they eat and drink.

I hope you are right but to be honest I am sceptical , have yet to see anything that suggests an AFL talent.

They are told to rest the body for a couple of weeks and then back into it

Harmes Trac and Dom Tyson have been in the US but couple of pics of training sessions over there

Gee OD, you are certainly living up to your moniker lately

DJ is a young kid , we have time to develop them properly now, he is really good at pressure and tackling, his goal kicking was letting him down, so that is one area he is working on, spoke to him

Jeff's set shot kicking was getting ropey as well coz he was over thinking it, I asked, he went back to a simpler set up and it improved last year I am sure he can help DJ is this area

This is the exciting bit for me, we will add 4 more, but we have only scratched the surface on the talent our young players have, some may turn out to be busts, but given time who knows?

Harmes and ANB come to mind as 2 who were considered 'list cloggers' but with confidence, proper development and game time turned into solid AFL players and still early 20's

Nice to hear Saty I hope you are right I have no desire to see anyone fail.

Just giving my opinion from what I have seen.

PS I have never used the words "list cloggers" and yes I know you were not saying I had. It is offensive just like the word "Spud"

That's right, rest the body, and it needs resting.  But it's the extent that some rest the liver, that's the point Hodge was talking about.

    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
