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.

Just saw that Bernie escaped unscathed from that bump on Thomas.  Great stuff!

Melksham's versatility actually hindered him at Essendon and we couldn't decide either, kudos to whichever coach decided forward

No, he was unable to lock down a position consistently and was switched around because of this, not the other way around. He has admitted this in press conferences in the past so lets not rewrite history.

The progressive expressions on Rodan's face throughout the third quarter onslaught are priceless: can't believe I had to play for this same mob in 2013.

I thought he was smiling from the third onwards. Think he was enjoying it

Lever was brilliant today 

He was, but as soon as Curnow was out I knew he'd be in for a massive day.

Basically played by himself and we set up beautifully down the line and Carlton weren't ambitious or courageous enough to switch the ball, so it meant he just played anchor all day.

It'll be interesting to see how he goes against better opposition.

What a great first game to have the family there together for the first time , 2 and 4 year old and my partner until she had to bail for an event after half time . 

The 2 carlton blokes behind us where loud that was ok and had been involved in some junior footy earlier that day which is a worry . 

I’ll say they were watching a different game and although bad decisions were made by the umpires it wasnt every kick paid as they would have you believe. 

Anyways they shut up eventually before turning on their own .

Too funny and well played demons .

Raining goals and im wondering how good this can be .

I wasn't around for the Robbie Flower royal blue days but felt there was something familiar about our new away colour scheme. It wasn't until the final quarter on the weekend when it finally clicked:

 Agree on losing Kreuzer cup

(loved watching Travis Johnston’s 42 perfect disposals)

Kreuzer never impressive to me

most of his disposals are terrible hospital handballs and kicks

Think he has a very low IQ

 

Who said we would have taken Kreuzer?

 

Cotchin would have been more the need for us back then.

Also great to see Hannan and  Fritter contribute 

Tackles links and goal assists

We have a lot of Talent forward this year

These two are a little unsung but I love watching them

They will have very good seasons

Agreed, we are starting to grow in the talent stakes, slowly but surely.

Charlie Spargo - 4 games for 4 wins. What a great start to a footy career! 

I don't think that is coincidence.

When has he said this, Ive never heard it, he was frozen out by Hird, perhaps he is 'player speaking' as I am told they do

Besides which I have had a few chats to people in the Club and was told what I said, we were looking as a midfielder originally, but with an oversupply, the fwd option was taken, except nobody can remember whose idea it wad

I was having a beer with Ronald Dale when Lethal came in we all got chatting about Melksham, then Carey turns up and we were all on the same page you know.   

Then Elvis came to me in my dreams and let me know that I was on the right track. 

Good times.

Also in reference to people being disappointed that we are going to play in Alice and the Blues get a friday night game.... the twisted side of me says thats a great outcome. Put the spotlight VERY firmly on the blues, I can guarantee that they will not get many if any Friday night matches next year, should not have received the number that they have this year, we on the other hand just need to get on with the next game! Next years fixture will look after itself based on the teams performances this year!

A little over those in the media who are still trying to justify how we are playing by pointing to 'an incredibly soft run over the last four weeks' and that the club cannot be 'trusted' yet. You can only play who the schedule puts

$20 says they get least the same, if not more Friday games than us next year.

What a win, we have craved that type of win for years and years, makes it all worthwhile, great to sit with two of my daughters in the Ponsford stand and celebrate goal after goal, we all felt intoxicated as we walked back to the car and drove home to Doreen. Yay, Yay and Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy....................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Dee's....................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a positive, we need more of this to excite young fans and hopefully bring back some of the lost younger generations, we lost a heap of kid fans over the last 10 years.

Judd is on Footy Classified and asked plenty of hard questions, really struggled to answer them about his club.

Judd then went on to say how disappointed he would be if Murphy wasn’t a 1 club player.

Hutchinson is a pig of a human. 

They also brought up Tmac and his value compared to old mate from Suns.

    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
