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.

He will be 28 at the beginning of next year.  Ha, ha - the club must think we are in premiership mode!!. We would only chase another tall defender if they were concerned about Lever long term whi

Good move. If we can keep other teams to less than 5 goals, we are a good chance to win 10 -11 games. Enough to sneak into the 8 some years!

I hope we pick a slow inside mid with suspect kicking. It’s the missing piece of our puzzle.

We definitely need more intercept defenders, and how about some more inside mids who can’t kick while we’re at it?! I certainly hope we don’t target any outside run, small forwards or key forwards that would be madness!

[censored] I hope we are also going after a marking forward who can crash a pack and kick a few goals a game.

Keith was originally part of the Suns first intake as a key marking forward, but then went off to play cricket, then when he came back to the game he was tried first forward then settled much better down back. Unless the club thinks he could go back to a forward role (similar to TMac and Petty) then I see no reason at all for him.

We need a strong forward and a pacy midfielder. Recruiting Keath would be stupidity of the highest order. Then again it is Melbourne.

Watch us hand over a future first rounder for him aand give them Billy Stretch or ANB but we will pay their existing contract out, while the Saints get Matt Crouch for a second rounder plus  Eddie Betts.

Victorian-born Keath is reportedly being offered big money from Melbourne while Hawthorn is keen on Greenwood, according to an AFL report last month.

If it is in a trade for Lever and his giant pay packet, then it sounds good to me.

Amazing how the club is saying that a defender is still high on our priority list... 

Our defence is the 17th best in the league

For the best part of the year we've had Jetta, May, Hibberd, Lever out while Lewis has done other roles. Only way I understand going after Keath (hopefully not big $$$) is they will utilise May forward with TMAC. Just a thought.

Yeah OK but how many games did may, lever and Hibbard play together other clubs target forwards and midfielders this obsession with chasing defender has left the forward line and midfield with holes, the list is full of defenders, it's getting close to having 15 defender on the list, josh has to go or we will have only defender's on the list.

We've barely had Lever May and Jetta all in the one side this year.

The few games May has played this year pur defence has looked the best it has in a long time.

If we do recruit Keath, where does he fit into the Frost, Lever, May lineup??

Frost is also out of contract currently as we speak.

I don't know much about Keath to be honest,  but there is a bit of a love fest for him in the media it seems.  

Someone started a thread about Frost to the wing which I initially thought no way,  but it may be worth experimenting with these last few rounds when both Hore n May return.

A bit of Frost Footy into out F50 would be far more unpredictable than bombing long like we do only for the opposition to pick us off every fuggn time.

FFS - these sorts of comments are ludicrous. I would suspect the recruiting team would also be after pace AS WELL as what other players can bring. Remind me how many list spots are available again ??

And Adelaide apparently had some interest in Frosty a couple of years ago before he recommitted with us.

Keath for Frost, where do I sign?

We are 17th in defence this year, 9th in 2018,  9th in 2017 and 11th in 2016.

But we don't have any room for more defenders because ours are such guns.

Aaron Francis has put talks on hold at the Bombers due to concerns they have no long term key position role for him. i think he's someone that could improve our side at either end of the ground.

He did SFA up until the back half of last year, and has done SFA since. Massively overrated. Pass.

I heard he won't come to us, so we've decided to recruit an injured nutritionist who we hope can be re-trained as an assistant boot studder.

We'll have to pay overs, but it'll totally be worth it.

    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
