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 watching him at training, at Casey and at AFL level.

It comes to me a bit quicker, chap.

I grew up with the game. 

Saty knows less about footy than my German cousin who lives in Hamburg, and I dont even have a German cousin who lives in Hamburg.

""Corey displays all the characteristics we want in a Melbourne player"

Mahoney's comments obviously reflect the view of the coaching staff.

You would think they may have an idea.

Its hard to base an opinion on 2 senior games. When I watched him he looked a bit slow, but the coaching staff obviously see potential in the guy.

Seriously tough.  He was great in the 2017 Casey losing grand final. 

Lacks too much polish for me at AFL level, but he's handy depth.

I think that's the game Plapp said it was the most dominant game he's ever seen a player play. Or words to that effect. Hope he stays fit for 2019, another step up for us.

One season is a long time in a fast developing team.  Our R1 starting midfield was Jones, Oliver, Maynard.  Viney injured, Bradshaw doing detention at Casey and Harmes a fringe flanker.  Posters here lamented that if Tyson was selected ahead of Maynard we would have won - quite possible, but now he's gone.

There's a massive love affair for VDB here and I'm a big fan of his re-signing.  Maynard is a pretty similar player.

Potentially a great in and under mid field ball winner & pressure player (when we dont have the ball...tackling etc).

Jury out on the disposal side at this point.  If he improves on that in a big way this year he just might get himself a regular place with some luck.

Serious upside in the offing if he does.

I hear he is hard at it but in the 2 games he has played I saw how his disposal was not too good.

He got rag-dolled by Mummy in one of those games so that would stop anybody - he fixed Maxy up there one time too.

So -  he hasn't had a real chance to show us what he's got. If the coaches want to keep him that's good enough for me.

So...anyway, moving on.

Corey looks to be handy backup.

...he needs to work on areas of his game craft not just disposal skills.

I hope they had him watching a lot of footy during his rehab as he gets caught out of position a bit.

Given that he's relatively new to the sport at this kind of level, despite his age, he probably still has a bit of improvement left in him.

It's irrefutable that is true, seriously.

Yep.

It's true of the whole team as well. I expect in the draft we will target players with excellent disposal skills, with some pace who can play a link, outside role. Obviously don't grow on trees so the recruiting team will have to show their talent spotting skills again.

Maynard fits the goody mould, he's a Melbourne person. Hard at it, fierce,  team first and super competitive. But he does indeed lack polish, specifically with his kicking. He's not overly quick either.

You'd think he is competing with Oliver, Brayshaw and viney as an inside mid. So up against it. But like the selection of smith goody has shown a preparedness to back such players in so he will get his chance.

Apetite for the contest will continue to be criteria #1, 2 and 3.

    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
