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.

Neither do I Rif. If there is a perfect recruiting department I have yet to see it. I think some are getting little tough on our ability in this area over the last few years.

This year, without any high draft picks and not much to trade will be a really big test for our recruiters. We need pace, polish and goals

No active role means we’ll be able to replace him in the supplemental period (assuming that rule stays in place). 
 

A 3 year deal who was completely unwanted by his previous club seems a mistake. But we have to assume other teams had 2 year deals on the table.

The shame is he’s was the type of player we needed and at the end of 2018 we were in a strong position to recruit players. 
 

Anyway, hope he can get healthy

I think part of that is going to come from trades.

Is there any evidence we had to take him on a 3 year deal to enable the May deal to happen?

How would that work? He was uncontracted, GC didnt offer him one, they weren't trying to offload a contract, and he wasn't a FA so no compo.

Tomlinson was a mistake, he came to fill the wing role and he was unable to do that. As a result we are looking for a new wingman this year. Mahoney has more of a role than trading than drafting so please don't give him credit for drafting 

Do you have any actual knowledge of Mahoney's role in trading vs drafting?

If not, your comment is classic. Your anti-Mahoney bias means he doesn't get your credit when he deserves it but will be the scapegoat for our mistakes, as that suits your argument.

considering he was stakeknives and cost nothing and probably was on a low wage it was well worth the risk, was a needed position and he was a really promising youngster early, unfortunate it didnt work out but it was totally out of our control and im happy we tried

I hope he’s able to get healthy, wonder if we may look at bringing him into the coaching department for the women’s team as a football role (as perhaps a way of learning a skill for the future). 

Bit annoying he still stays on the list, means we can only really replace him with a rookie draftee I believe.

can be replaced through SPP so any player who has nominated for a draft and not been selected or recently been delisted

we've had a mixed back through this process: Lockhart - jury still out, MBrown - worked, Bennell - bust but worth the crack

so he's on the list but becomes 'inactive' like the old long-term injury list which used to mean you could upgrade Cat. A rookies to play senior games but they scratched that idea and made rookies available to be picked form round 1, however category b rookies still require a list spot to be upgraded to play seniors. however if a player is inactive usually due to early retirement, long-term concussion, acl or mental health then u can pick a replacement player who gets a contract for the remainder of the season to plug the whole. im not too sure what the rules are when it comes to that inactive player becoming available again but quite possibly the newest installment of rules is theyre out for the season...

    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
