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.

communist is wrong in this picture. there should be one single straw for communist. for the state.

That 3 straw image should read socialist, surely.

While we're at it, the Physicist one is wrong too. It should read gas and liquid. Fluid refers to gases and liquids.

It's US supporters,  and indirectly our players as well, which need that sub conscious lift for the spirits.

I don't think you can blame the Yanks on this occasion.

Public Sentiment can be very useful 

For too long The MFC has sat quietly in the corner and taken the scraps

That's true. On the other hand, the public could take the opposite view. I'm not sure Hawthorn, Port Adelaide or Collingwood get public sentiment on their side because their President's speak out.

Premature?

No it isn’t. Our game yesterday did not go ahead, if that happens I expect the President of my Club to speak about it. 
 

How many other Presidents of AFL Clubs would you expect to remain silent in the reverse situation?

I'll half agree with you on this one. In this particular instance, I don't think it's the President's job. Rather, that's what I expect the CEO to do. I would expect the President to speak out on more significant and strategic issues, such as big picture funding matters, mergers, club identity questions, etc. I expect the CEO to discuss operational matters. I realise this particular matter is something we've not seen before, but all said and done, it's still just an operational matter.

I agree bad kicking is bad football, but if they kicked straight we’d have gone down by four goals. The yips aren’t the reason the game was so close

Agree that, we let our selves down in general play, let them get on top and that their kicking let them down to a fair extent as well.  However 1 goal, 4 behinds is a shocking return from a player we are looking to be a top line forward.  If Bailey kicks another one or two of those very gettable goals, it would have helped us put score board pressure back them and shift the momentum of the game a fair bit.  If we are to become a good side we need forwards kicking at much better than 20% accuracy.

I do feel that Bailey had somewhat of a bad game accuracy wise and that on other occasions he might have kicked 5 goals straight.  But we do need better consistency from Bailey and others in the team like Melk, Trac and even Max in this respects, just can't cough up gettable goals.

You probably think Hunt is better than  Lyon,  Neitz, Schwarz and Jakovich.  

Remember when you insulted them the other day?   Four legends of the MFC

Didn't insult them, for their time, really great players for the Club, would not survive these days

Unlike others on here never compare players

They asked Leigh Matthews once whether he would like to ply today, answer emphatic NO

Playing the man again I see, school out early today??????

We have a game against Geelong, next weekend, hopefully, the rest has got [censored] all to do with us

Footy is the priority, so we arranged a practice game to ensure still got the miles in, after checking with the Chairman, that was ok of course

Wide open for what, your scintillatin wit and opinions

Those players were great players in their time

Only concerned about how we go against Geelong

It is 2020

If we go small against Geelong and win, all this about a Key Forward will be forgotten, well for a week at least

Didn't say that

If Leigh Matthews who should know, expressed the same, for some reason I value his.opinion above yours

You said they “wouldn’t survive in the modern game”

a ridiculous comment, but quite insightful into your knowledge of the game

Clown ? School ?

Clown ? School 101

Harsh self assessment there

Your opinion on whether Schwarz would be able to fill  the defensive role required of a forward these days

Even Tom Hawkins, who probably equates to the old fashioned gorilla is finding the game is going past him, Tex Walker similarly

Off you go, let's hear an opinion, rather than your usual name calling and toys from the pram

    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
