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.

  • I’m putting $1000 on Luke Jackson getting the NAB rising star this week.
  • Nicks has flagged we'll be younger this week. Let's see if selection backs him up.
  • Persisting with Gibbs is a complete waste. Trade him back to Carlton for peanuts.
  • We are in diabolical trouble. Game plan from St.Bernadettes year 3 marks up playbook.
  • I think a winless season and Nicks is shown the door IMO. We need a full clean out of coaches and Fagan needs to throw HUGE coin at a proper coaching setup.
  • It’s just hit me. The realisation that the best player at our club is a 35yo mother of two?
  • Invite Blight back to the club as a mentor for Nicks.
  • If anyone in the media, social media or anywhere else asks again why Gibbs can't get a game, please refer them to this week's performance.
  • Has Lever played in Adelaide against the Crows yet?
  • Last weeks embarrassment has finally made the club really go into rebuild mode.
  • Prediction : Tex to "run through" Jake Lever at some point.
  • Crows making EIGHT(!) changes. Two debutants.
  • Gerard and Robbo both very complimentary of the selections with saying that it’s clear the Crows are finally accepting of the rebuild and that Gibbs, Atkins and Knight would all be very worried about their futures.
  • If they actually won would there be enough players available to provide the gatorade shower?
  • Dees are ripe for the picking too.
  • Excellent, at least 3 of those players dropped should never ever play a game for the club again.

Their side looks pretty good on paper. However, no Sloane or Crouch will really hurt their midfield. It's ours to lose, I can't see it happening, I think they're on the tank also. Even if we win, I'm still going to be looking hard at the fundamentals and execution of our game plan and cohesion, lets see if Stubborn Simon gets the lads firing.

Wow, I must be looking at a different side,.  I reckon it looks terrible.  Only their back line looks semi decent.

Must be down to the quality of the paper you printed it on.

Talia, Kelly, Laird, Doedee, B Smith, M Crouch, Seedsman, Lynch, Walker, Himmelberg, Mackay and Fogarty go OK, I'd have most of them in our side over many thats for sure. I think Jones will be a player in the future also.

  • Ricciuto . . . if you love the club like you say you do. Then go. Just go.
  • Special place in hell reserved for: ANB (he who shall not be named).
  • When Clayton Oliver is the difference, you know things are bad.
  • Walker is done, give him 200 and bye bye.
  • Luke Jackson is going to be elite. Very exciting talent.
  • We've stuffed up a couple of drafts and now we've also got the wrong coach.

AFL will bail them out with some priority picks just like they did for Brisbane.

    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
