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.

I knew when we weren’t converting at the start of the 3rd we were done. They’ve had 6 inside 50s for 5 goals, went way too tall for the conditions and our midfield is letting them get simple kicks in there. 

Absolutely disgusting efforts inside our forward 50 all night, TMac has been awful, Weiderman (who simply HAD to kick his) mostly unsighted, Melksham continues to look off the pace, and Petracca mostly useless. 

But ultimately our deficiencies in defence has made this an ugly night. There’s no logical set up, no one marshalling the troops into position, they look like headless chooks. I don’t think it’s possible for me to be more [censored] off with such a pathetic effort.

Going to be a very long season.

At least three games shorter than 2018.

The bastards pump us up, give us hope then serve up garbage.

We've kicked 27 points across the last 4 quarters.

If you include the PF, we're looking at 4 full goalless quarters.

In our past 3 matches, we've gone the equivalent of an entire match without a goal.

And that's with 1 quarter left to play.

We have been found out and we refused to analyse where it started

Well let’s be honest. 

At Half Time in Last Years Preliminary Final, we were Goalless, but the coach refused to review it. 

I would have spent weeks pulling that game apart

I bet lots of other Clubs took a very close look at it. 

Over to you Goodwin....

He doesn't own the responsibility. Even last week... let's blame something else .

You can understand the team being underdone re fitness but what's the excuse about poor basic skills & bad decision making?

Geelong are just so crisp & accurate even with a team of so many new players in bad conditions.

Sack Goodwin.  Everything that's gone wrong was blindingly obvious last season and he did nothing to fix it. 

No chance he’s going to be sacked, but seriously there needs to be a plan B. At the moment we’re down on pace and skill. Team selection needs to be about team balance. Last year we had Tyson on the wing. Now it’s Jones. Chunk has a lot of heart but he has never ever been fleet of foot.

    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
