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.

The answer was last year 'BBP'...we failed to address the problems of the prelim.

Goodwin thought we didn't bring our brand that day...we did and it wasn't up to the standard required.

So then we didn't address the real issues over the off season.

We thought May was the last piece of the puzzle and we were wrong.

We expected a natural progression forward and again we were wrong.

So the players are not happy with the coach who just got a five year deal only this year?

Happy days?

So angry with this club, actually thought before season started it was the best list we’ve had since I’ve been around, and that’s over 50 years. Was telling people, and bragging about, how we were gonna win flag this year! What a frickin’ embarrassment they are, been embarrassed most of my life barracking for this pathetic bunch of Prima donnas, bit never been more disgraced and disheartened in all my miserable days of supporting the Melbourne football club. To me they looked as though they gave up in the 3rd quarter, don’t know what Goodwin is doing but it ain’t frickin working, if we come out on Wednesday playing same way he should resign, that’s quit not re sign! #gutlesswonders

 Weid can’t mark it then can’t compete on the ground, Mc Donald is injured and slow and also can’t do either of those. Then we have spargo as the crumber who is slow and ineffectual. So it’s like we’re 3 men down in the fwd 50 at every entry. I love hunt but he’s not the answer up fwd. so 3.5 men down. Six v 2.5 . Quite frankly I’m amazed we even scored 7. Remember 2 of them came from Preuss in the 1st qtr and one was a freak mark from Melksham. 

Wed evening is going to be a 100 + debacle. IF that happens we’re about to find out a lot about our coach and his capacity to keep the group together.

I find the reversal in TMc form hard to fathom. He’s a very good player, but simply can’t find it. Surely there is a problem here.

Add him to the long list of players who build a good reputation and get paid by the MFC approaching their peak years, only to regress  (in terms of what they contribute to to the team). The list is huge.

It's hard to fathom how inconsistent the output is from players with solid experience. The whole idea of experienced players is that you're supposed to get a solid baseline. So when they're out of form, you at least still get a contribution to the team from them. For my entire time watching this club, we get performanes from experienced players that look like they've never played a league game before.

This is one reason i will always love the contribution Nathan Jones has made to this club. He is an exception in that through his peak years he seemed to work harder and harder and get better and better.

What an absolute [censored] embarrassment. Never thought I'd be justifiably copping it from someone who supports Gold Coast, but I am. That's as low as it gets.

At least Gold coast have players who will have footy smarts , have PACE and a coach who has a few clues!! We are berefit of all of these factors

    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
