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.


Goodwin rejects notion that Dees list is compromised.

Personally i'd consider playing Trac out of the square and make him a leading forward. Tell him his job is to kick goals and give him the license to go for it. 

Too slow for that job he would not get away from the defenders and he is a poor kick for goal.

Unless he can run and find space and his team mates can kick the pill on to his chest, with bullet like precision, CP would be completely smothered and left standing on the rebound.

Yep !!!!

Trac is something of an opportunist player.

There's an art to being a lead up forward. He doesn't strike me as it.

Even than, he's be too slow with bullet passes as he would have 6'-3"  or 6'-4"  reaching past him defenders to punch clear. and again once ball is on the ground he is still too slow on his feet

His hands are quite good, so IMo, he should be rotating in the middle with Oli.

Absolute twaddle, don't know which bit some on here don't get, we have a team of 22 that has put in two poor performances, one where the midfield failed and were duly criticised,  the other where the midfield started to get it together but the team connection was horrible

We have players stuttering to find match day form, not from an injury point of view but pure and simple form

 

 

Are you still denying we had a horrible preseason? You said all summer that our injuries and surgeries were of no concern, despite half team being in rehab.

0-3, bottom of the ladder, terrible percentage, dysfunctional all over the ground.

What an insipid performance, from a club that has done nothing for almost 20 yrs. I knew this would happen when they inflated their egos in the off season. Let's evaluate last night's team.

Jones- done nothing this yr , runs one way poor disposal

Viney- underdone no mongrel

TMac- out of form can't get near it

Max- improving

Melk-- big head needs to stick to the basics

Oliver- down last night needs to hit the scoreboard.

Petrracca - bighead needs to stick to the basics

Brayshaw- great player only runs one way

Oscar- CASEY

ANB- fringe player loved by coach.

Hunt- Wingman likely peaked

FROST- Casey 2nds

Weids- improving slowly.

C Wagner- fringe

J Wagner-fringe

Nev- hindered by our ridiculous zone defence needs one on one

Lockhart- to early to say

KK- Not fit looks lost.

Salem- doing his best.

Harmes- doing his best

Fritz - improving played out of position

Hibberd- not enough run looks out of form.

 

The same defensive issues were around last year. We were scored heavily against by good kicking teams who kick through that defensive zone or that's what they call it.  Surely we couldn't be worse one in one like the Swans, Afterall as soon as they get it they just bash it fwd like we do.

Our fwd line, just a clogged up mess of players competing for the same ball.

Last night reminds me of 2013, letting a team kick more than four goals in the first quarter is just unacceptable?

Gutless performance what team do we play into form this week.

Disgusted

We always have terrible preseasons.
Injuries galore and the players never seem to learn anything from season to season.
B grade medicos and coaching dept.
B grade players.

    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
