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.

Best 22? / Next 22??

That majestic it even worse !!!! 
Jetta Baker and Tomlinson and Melksham

its not 2018 for Jetta and Melksham form!

And practice matches for Tommo  and Baker do not Come up with BEST anything!

Hunt lucky probably as his best form is 2017!!!!

And really if one of our Key position players goes down where is any backup ie Petty or Tmac or M.Brown I suppose we can swing Weid around  a bit. 
 

In reality Werridee Your selections are  like Goody's very  conservative and no dare or flare! 
And very 2018 ish!  
Ang you have had about  20 goes at it this season so far.  

I haven't got Jetta in the team. Baker needs more than just a few practice matches to cement his spot. Tomlinson is better than Petty if you watched the 2 practice matches you would understand why. Hopefully he will eventually be better but not ATM. Melksham is still better than what we have.

For me Lever needs to be the intercept third tall.  He's much better when he's freed up to use his judgment and athleticism.  May and one of Oscar McDonald or Petty need to hold down FB with May

If AVB is fit he’ll be one of the first selected. You can take that to the bank.

I like to think of myself as having a reasonable insight into footy with a pretty good understanding of pros and cons of players on the MFC list. I can't recall a time when it was harder to pick

Probably start Bertram on the ground ahead of Bennell & maybe Miller ahead of Bate. 
Apart from that looks good ?

fair calls mate

I was just glad 11 years ago me had the sense to not select Scully.

Found this in my drawer at work today.  massive throw back!  At least we had Jurrah to watch back then

Well as I said W changes need to be made and  2018 be buried from our form line. 
Refusal  to do this  is Restricting the developiment Of Our team by not giving youth an opportunity.

i Think  it's our bottom 6 players That are Importantly preventing us improve snd we Need  to fast track These players.

I don’t see the point in not playing Scully, Strauss and Maric; they’re the future- get them in there!

Tapscott injured?

Have got Melk in and Jets  !

Jets too slow and Melky has not played much so nit match fit and outbid form fir 2 years!!

Hibbo played last night and his season last year was good considering the pressure he was under.

Put ANB on wing move Bowey to BP snd Tommo to CHB Lever to HBF and Jones instead of Melky.

Thats about best but would still have Tommy at FF snd Majak  as Interchange.

Wow. Looks like we’re set for a golden period ahead. Watts Scully Trengove Morton Maric Strauss Grimes Rivers. Frawley and Jones look like great players already. Add in experience of Sylvia, Moloney, Bruce, Davey, Green, Jmac. Jamar and Martin make a good Ruck division.  Add in excitement of Jurrah.  Good times ahead.  
Well it was a reasonable year 2010 (8 wins 10 losses 1 draw - some close losses too - smashed the Swans) and it was a feeling of hope -it was looking ok for the years ahead ... until it all fell apart with GWS + Suns intros, injuries, Scully defection, lack of development Jurrah-going and the stupidity “sacking”junior.

Like Melksham, Jones, Jetta, Tmac, Harmes, Brayshaw, Hunt?  I think we are too readily blaming our least experienced.  It is our mid tier players that need to really just get better.  Seems Lever has really improved so this year, we need more guys in their mid 20's realising their potential and playing with consistency.

Really want us to grab a fast skilled wingman somehow and also a back pocket to replace Jetta. I’m happy the other 20 blokes that I could see on the last Saturday of the year. Fit and firing.

Melksham needs to lift big  time 2020 form not good enough.Not in my team .

Petty for Tommo at CHB  

Bowey for BPocket and ANB for wing.Plus Tmac  if in form for Interchange and Tommo on bench also with Harmes HFF and Hunt the medical sub. Sparrow or JJ on Intetchange!

Probably  wouldn't line up Trac and Clarry put Gus  there' snd Trac  on HFF.

Would like Say Laurie or Rodman to be in 23 really.

    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
