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.

The only meaningful contest today will be doomsayers versus turd polishers in the post game thread.

Hibberd has actually been good since coming back into the team

Jaded No More

Fritsch is so much better when played as a high half forward. The problem is that we still have not a single marking forward inside 50. Why they refuse to play Weid is beyond me.

Ultimately? Yes.

His game plan allows super quick kicks to come into our defence.

He picked Smith when he clearly isn't ready. 

No, it was combination of errors forward of The ball, all good to blame the coach when Oliver gives a terrible ball

Terrible kick from Oliver before but he's not the problem. The commentators on Fox and 7 have gunned for him all day. He's won a heap of contested possessions.

Disagree. He’s been average at best. Disposals have been all over the place.

Think he was spent. He clearly wanted to turn this game around and was busting a nut in the last quarter. Was happy with his intent today to be honest.

This club just continues to bring misery to its members ... we continue to go backwards! Clearly Goodwin has a game plan which isn’t working & hate to say but we will witness another wasted list of players & another decade of nothingness!

Clayton Oliver? Jack Viney? Jake Melksham? Jake Lever? Christian Salem? Tomlinson? Simon Goodwin? All auditioning for string quartet on the SS Titanic.

It all statrs from the middle the bounce.

If we start cleanly with composure, it rolls on.

If we start with a panic ball that t rolls on.

 

Oliver is starting us off in a panic.

I’m angry.

Angry that this drivel is served up week after week .

Our recruiting and coaching philosophy is win the contested ball and the rest will happen.

Well let me tell ya.

It ain’t happening!

Why is it Goodwin's fault when every player bar maybe Hibberd made a fundamental skill error that sometimes resulted in a goal to the opposition

The first two hit outs of the last quarter were won by max Gawn. Viney bombs the first result in to a Richmond player. The second was also bombed in to a Richmond player. This coach has got to tell them to stop doing that.

Otherwise we continue to be nothing

He wont be coming to coach this rabble SW.  But we certainly need to get our hands on a coach who can coach (Lyon?), along with a genuine KF (Cameron).

Its his lack of movement.

He will not run and move enough,  kicks off a step,  etc.  He's lazy.

It looks like he’s keen to get rid of the ball as quickly as possible like it’s a hot potato.

I quite like Goody actually. I just hate his current gameplan. I pray he changes it.

Exactly, and his direction of the ball s either low to feet, or high,  above the head.

He's too cocky by half, and has stopped putting in his old physical work.  That hit on Selwood back in 2018 final,  where Bt and everyone said,  "boy oh boy, did you see that",..... nothing since from Oli.

He is the one coaching them and it’s not getting any better .

Ultimately it rests with him.

    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
