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.

Maybe it's just me but I have a good feeling about tomorrow. We are badly due and tbh Pies are in a good spot to spank given their injuries. It would be nice to end the year with at least one win against a big club. 

Just getting this sense we will win comfortably.

OMac retains his spot and no Hore. Goodwin said Collingwood have some really good smaller players so we’ll need players who can play on big and small. Watch their forwards run rings around OMac. I giv

What a bizzare and utter joke of a team selection. Collingwood have 1 bloke inside the forward 50 who is over the 190cm mark and we bring in Steven May yet continue to select Oscar!? To play on who ex

Oh look, Jake Lever was put back on the ground when he injured his ankle ... and he's playing the following week. That's not the way it's supposed to work.

Wandered over to Gosh's this morning.  Appears training was cancelled. 

The rehab squad was out there.

Joel Smith running straight lines with a tracker. Looks strong and has bulked up around the hip area.

Aaron Nietschke and Tom Sparrow walking and running laps.

Jake Lever was doing lots of ball work with two trainers. Appeared to be moving without restrictions. 

Training Cancelled?? Just like training camp then... Bit too cold and wet for our guys possibly Hnmm

I went passed on Wednesday but training had been cancelled, then TV interviews happened Thursday, so did they train then? If they did then Friday would be limited  perhaps, although having watched a few Friday sessions, they are no more than a 45 minute stretching exercise with a few kicks on goal. So you could do Thursday and Friday but at this stage why bother?

Methinks Hore comes in for Lever as a late out and this was always what was going to happen.

If Lever does play then I have no idea why Hore wasn't chosen over OMac.

One of many perplexing selection decisions this season.  I realise many are by requirement through injury and niggles that we are unaware of but this one is a cracker.

I am unable to bring myself to watch any MFC games for as long as Goody persists with Oscar from here on.  Just too depressing and all i feel is pitty on the players around him who are mostly up to the contest and the team as a whole.  Today's game is so punishing there is no way of effectively covering off being a player (or half a player) short down back.

I have Hore ranked as our No.1 defender for the year and No.6 ranked player overall.  An amazing first up year for the rookie.

Understandable reasons ...either something isn't quite right with Hore, Goody is preserving his young frame for next season (but if that's the case why risk him at VFL level??)

Maybe there's some other sensible reason we are unaware of.  If not, something has seriously gone haywire within the Fd or with Goody himself.

The problem is there's never been a time in our game where the forwards have received the softest free kicks like this year.

O Mac has to adapt to this if he's to have a future as a defender. Giving away 3 free kicks to Lynch no matter how soft they were, was too many.

Without the frees against, O Mac's performance against Tom Lynch would've been commendable.

Did omac give lynch 3 free kicks?

Or is that a #omacmyth?

Well yes because he had 3 free kick against right next to his name on the stat list. They were also when he was on Lynch. 

So you look a bit silly here mate..

Because it's not an #omacmyth, it's a fact.

I'm still confused.  Did you miss my question marks?

And is it a fact that at all three of omac frees were against lynch? I would be surprised but don't know.

But you must be right. Because you said it is a fact.

I'll have a look at AFL pro and check, just to check the facts.

    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
