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.

Writing on the wall, after 22 surgeries & interrupted  pre season, ask any fitness guru that unless u have a proper preseason  you are [censored] for the season!

Coach needs to answer as to whats happened to our defence foundations that Roos put in place, even last year we were getting scored against heavily

Why did we get rid of Kent, not that he was the difference but we are lacking goal kickers.

Letting DK go in the context of Hogan leaving and Garletts form last year was just simply foolish.

Mate, I was a member for a Zillion years before I gave up the ghost in the Neeld years! I bought a membership this year based on solid belief! Well didn't that just go straight down the toilet??

I won't go this week and possibly the rest of the year... this club bleeeds us then tantalises then just hemorrhages blood from the soul.

Time to give up the dream and play more golf!

I'm over this fiasco!

 

The faith and persistence of a picket in the fence!

Serious ly please don't try and make out you area dedicated fan.

What  crocodile tears!!  

Msny supporters  here have followed us for decades and attended 300/400 matches continuously  and you have FIVE this year and it's too much for you.

Through the tough years 13 to 16 this century We don't  need fair weather fans please play your self indulging golf game and then choose when to return when we win 3 in a row games.

Cheers and goodbye PF

I hope Sg and the whole team sit down and watch Jimmy Bartels summary of where things are going wrong in Access all Areas. 

To be honest, never watch them and only did because I was interested in the highlights of McKay - oh how I wish Weideman was showing as much promise 

Anyway I think these guys nailed it 

As a collective team we simply allow opposition players too much space and basically hope somehow to win back possession and then get the easy possession on the turnover - teams with half decent skills have worked it out and cut us to ribbons - North play a similar game style and are cr@p too. We need to try manning up a lot closer and stop playing zone defence because it just isn't working

The other points highlighted were that we constantly commit too many numbers around a contest and then when the ball gets free the opposition have players free and away they go

Our forward fifty entries are abysmal - high kicks sitting on top of our taller forwards heads which make it dead easy to spoil - worse is that fact we don't have crumbers and invariably the opposition do and clear the ball far too easily - this is shown up week after week by our disproportionate inside 50 count but terrible conversion rate 

Until we start dealing with these issues we are in for some ugly defeats 

These are the reasons we are dead easy to play against and it needs to stop now !  

Nothing is going to change. Just listen to our captains given reason for our form:

“We want to play hard footy and we want to win. We’re not doing that and as a result we’re not winning, so we’ve got to change that.”

Crack in harder and everything will be ok apparently.

Crack in hard while the opposition just sit back, wait for us to fumble and then clear it out the back with ease.

Agreed. This shows it is a coaching issue. If we get pantsed tonight...... and I believe this is going to be our biggest loss fr the year, let’s aim the criticism where is belongs.

I have a question. Is it possible to restrict Demonland to paid up members? I'm not a fan of freeloaders.

A fantastic idea. Couldn't agree more. It would certainly give me more time to enjoy life.

Only problem, after 5 years of Goodwin coaching there will only be 10 people allowed on this site.

Are we missing Peter Jackson in the CEO role?

Yes...and a Mr P. Roos somewhere else.

We were coming from such a long way back we and importantly, the list/players, needed a 7 year stint (minimum) IMHO to solidify and bed down the new winning culture / methods and work ethic before handing over the reigns.

Might have snagged a cheeky one along the way also.

P Roos will never come back near the G whilst BMac is on the payroll.

I don't blame Roos. I don't even blame BMac...he is who he is. ( But he doesn't benefit us )

Just saying

So ..Fischer's..Rossi's...Kneissl's ???

    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
