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.

What was Rampe thinking climbing the goal post? Should have actually been a free kick in the goal square.

I think the more pertinent question is why was Myers allowed to take that kick? On the coverage I was watching the siren clearly blew a second before he marked the ball. It wasn't even borderline, the siren clearly went before the mark.

Can anyone confirm if that was indeed the case, or my feed is total crapola?

Edit: I've just watched the final 2 minute clip on the AFL website and it has been 'doctored' right at the point where Myers marks the ball. The original vision was smooth, that vision has a cut in it right at the crucial point. Coverup!

Heppell must have had some $$$ on Sydney to win under a goal

The whole sequence was odd, whoever the bloke was lining up for the shot was smirking and winking to team mates prior to the kick like he had it in the bag. Then he and Heppell giggling about it afterward like it was at the end of the 1 qtr or something. Suck it Ess fans, you’re captain is a loon!

It’s when the umpires hear the siren, should taken a second longer to hear it at that distance from siren to umpire for sure.

They must have heard it early at end of 2nd qtr as it looked like the Syd player kicked the ball before the siren went.

geez, as much as I love seeing the Druglords get robbed,  the umpiring department needs to have a royal commission and everyone must be sick to death of the Cola Swans being looked after year after year.

A former MFC rookie.... good to see him still involved in the game. Reminds me of Paul Reiffel a former Australian cricketer (35 tests) who is now on the elite cricket umpire panel. Would be good to see a few more of those players who did not quite make it on the AFL umpiring panel.

In the days of Ricky Barham flying down the wing and Tommy Hafey as their coach they were my second team. It only lasted until they won the 1990 premiership. I think that was the year my MFCSS started as I began to realise any team could have won that year and we fluffed it.

Thats what makes there loss even better. Can you imagine Longmire after the game if Rampe gave away the free for doing something so stupid. I'm tipping Rampe was spoken to after the game on not to do that again. 

Just watched the last 2 minutes. That was a good tackle by Blakey  in the closing moments. Although not sure why he chose to kick it where to did to Hurley on is own and not down the line. But did you notice the wink and the smile Myers did as he marked it? As if to say watch this. Well he stuffed it. 

Gee how rapt would the lions players be coming down to play at Ballarat today?  nice 13 degree day for them.

If one of our players missed a shot after the siren that far out you could maybe forgive them for missing, but if that player then went over to Jones or Viney and they started laughing you would be annoyed. 

But it is stupid that we lose to essendon, we beat sydney and essendon lose to the swans. It does make our loss to them hurt more. 

Carlton could be in for another painful long day.

    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

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim

    ICEBREAKER by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have broken the ice for season 2024 with a pulsating come-from-behind victory over Port Melbourne in which it took the lead for the first time at the halfway mark of the final quarter. The game played in mild Autumn conditions in neutral territory at Kinetic Park, Frankston, never reached great heights in standard but it proved gripping in character at the end at the Casey Demons overcame the Borough to win by 15 points after trailing badly early in the second half.  P

    MAULED by Whispering Jack

    The writing was on the wall from the very first bounce of the football. The big men went up, Max Gawn more often than not, decisively won the ruck hit out and invariably a Brisbane Lions onballer either won the battle on the ground or halved the contest and they went at it repeatedly until they finally won out. Melbourne managed the first goal from Alex Neal-Bullen but after that the visitors shut out every area of Demon presence around the ground except in the ruck duels. It was a mauling.
