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.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - DEAKYN SMITH

Fair call @dazzledavey36. Like so many Vic kids this year,  Kobi didn’t get on the park this year. I saw him in a game in 2019 for the Stingrays and he has an excellent sidestep, skilled left foot disposal and moved at pace with ease. I was optimistic which is something as Dees fans that we have to hold onto. I think he’d be one to put on at Casey in the squad or hopefully play for Stingrays as a 19yo in 2021.  Will Bravo was another kid out of the Stingrays that showed real pace and goal sense.  He’s another that might go late/rookie or be in the Casey/Stingrays group for 2021.

Why am I not shocked? Some clubs are getting top 10 players from NGA and we get donuts. Well we got Bedford. Can't think of anyone else. Absolutely screwed again by the AFL taking away

afl.com.au reporting we are likely to invite smith to train on with us for that last spot on our rookie list. i wonder what the rules are on them training on and then joining as a B rookie as they were technically academy players despite not being nominated. if that's the case could we see Smith and Farmer both invited and both given a chance one as an A rookie and one as a B

"Melbourne has two spots open and may add Next Generation Academy prospect Deakyn Smith to its training squad from January."

Hard to know if afl.com.au have actually heard anything or they're just speculating...

Deakyn Smith | Outside Midfielder/Forward
22/08/2002 | 179cm/68kg

Part of Melbourne’s Next Generation Academy, Smith is a lightly-framed outside midfielder who can also rotate forward. He has good speed and plenty of raw talent, but is working on adding polish and consistency to his overall game.

Smith and Laurie are mates, so it'll be interesting to see if we pick up Smith.

I hope we do. He can be a category B rookie can't he or has that already past?

I'll be very shocked if he ends up on an AFL list. 

Good on the kid for securing a training gig, but jesus he would want to show massive improvement from when I watched him last year.

clubs dont often offer train on spots without following through especially with 2 spots open and u can basically pay the players entire wage outside the cap and u may as well fill out the list if u can cant hurt really as a development player on a 1yr deal.

makes me laugh when people on here have an issue with mbrown getting a year when he's 30 as depth coz they wanna see an unproven youngster with upside get a chance and then we hear about a youngster getting a chance and its godforbid we give him a go.

No point giving him a go unless we think he will make it though. 

With covid financial impacts our resources are limited. No point taking up a coach, physio or other for a player we think is a really long shot and only given a chance due to being tied through our academy

Daw and Smith get rookie spots.

Farmer and Declase don't.

Deakyn Smith - had a good game for Casey yesterday playing back pocket, he's smart player, good disposal and courageous, I think we have found a good player, reminds me of Richmond's Baker 

Great addition to the young depth

Much better player than Kobe Farmer

Is he a lockdown type defender?    We are desperate for a Jetta replacement

    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
