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.

Quiet a statement there.

Seems fairly loud to me.

Wow. Lever Garlett injured over the bye weekend.  Did we run out of cotton wool ! 

Hibberd is fair enough. He came back too early and clearly wasn’t right.  Needs to get his collarbone settled.  

It may be the last of Jeffy g 

Hahahahahahaha, I was *waiting* for the Hibberd came back too early call. I don’t even need to read this forum to know what people are going to say. I think I’ve been here far too long.

And Lever got injured in the Collingwood game.

You could argue the following though:

- Hibberd's plate coming detached could be because it hadn't healed properly.

- Lever's impact injury could have been caused by his lack of acclimatization to the speed and impact of match day.

Just saying...

Cursed I tells ya.

It feels like it! Just getting it all out of the way before next years shot. ?

Doesn’t sound like the Hibberd or Lever injuries are too serious, thankfully. I really want that backline to get a good run at playing together. It looked promising against Collingwood.

And the pain of watching finals and then the long summer. At least there won't be any of that evil sweet tasting bathwater on offer.

Just a bit of savoury humility. It’s important for one to have a balanced cliche diet.

Pretty uninspiring selections.

My confidence in this team is the lowest it’s been for a couple of seasons.

So who will we draft with pick 1?

Some poor little bustard who will have his boyhood dreams ripped from his soul and who will cry himself to sleep every bloody night when he hears he's going to the MFC.

Plates don’t heal. The bones heal. The likelihood of the plate being bumped out doesn’t change with rest.

Your comment on Lever is drawing an extremely long bow.

Or could it have been when someone (can’t remember who) ran across his leg in an attempt to smother the ball, on QB?

Fair enough, I don't know much about the intricacies of a collar bone plate repair. From what I've heard though, it's a 4-8 week recovery for civilians, so he did come back quite quick for someone playing a high impact sport.

On Lever, I'm not saying it's the cause, but the incident in which his knee was injured was when he was just not up to the speed of the game. Watching the replay it was even commented on at the time that he was not ready for the speed of AFL. My point is just that the contest he was injured in may not have happened if he had had more match time leading up to his return.

And in the end, I'm not trying to make it sound like that's how it is, just saying you could potentially argue those things.

That's the point I'm making mate. See my post above for more clarity about that.

You could potentially argue anything. But you continually to "potentially argue" that players came back too early.

    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
