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.

Love this kid.  Three games in and he already looks the goods. Dont forget to smash that Like button if you agree.

The club sees a 'serious ' injury to a young player as an opportunity rather than a serback They give them teaching/learning opportunities as well as building them physically, Baker this year phy

I've been really impressed with his composure.  Doesn't look flustered at all and has the ability to make space for himself.

Reminds me a bit if when Jayden Hunt burst onto the scene. Hunt took 2 years to get going due to injury and form, and Baker had a similar start with his first year.

Like most inexperienced players they have their ups and downs, and Baker will be no different.

Like Hunt, I see him being able to carve a spot out in our best 22. You can't teach speed, and the modern game needs speedy players.

Misso must've done something right then! 

(touch wood)

Hallelujah, Brother! If he is recuperated (Baker), then maybe Misso had nothing to do with it, this time. He usually enables an encore or two at the best of times with normal footy injuries re-surfacing as longer-term ailments.

You left out a better one, Don Williams. I thought Paul Prymke could have been a great if his back had of held up.

My memory is failing.  But, wasn't Don more a HB Flanker?

He did play a lot at CHB, fairly confident he was there in September 1964.

Our ruckman was 6'2"  yes they sure have changed Mr Leg. I don't remember Williams playing in the centre however 55 years is a very long time ago.

The great John Nicholls was also 188cms and would be dwarfed by Cripps.

Discussing height is the one thing in metric that I have never come to gripes with, 188 means nothing to me, I have to really work hard to establish if that is over 6 feet or not. However if you say 6'2" I know immediately how big the person is.

What a great side that was!  (Especially the HF line!  LOL).  But, surely Tassie Johnson was the real FB!!  And, I only remember Don Williams on the HB Flank.

I think maybe Misso is very good with muscular injury issues.     But Osteo ?????   and feet, Hmmnnnnnnn. ?

'OD'...  4 inches = 10cms...  12 inches =  30cms,  or 300mm...

4 inches = 100mm...

40 inches  =  1 Metre.  

80 inches  =  2 Metres approx'.

Not only great straight line speed but really good evasive skills too

Would be amazing to see him torch the Pies in a big win today, burning them off with his speed and kicking some goals.

No pressure kid!

    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
