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.

Where are they at? Would ya take any back?

Jack Watts - versatile 

Dom Tyson - inside mid depth 

Lyndenn Dunn - back up full back

 

 

 

Watts is coming back from injury and will struggle to get a game at Port Adelaide 

Tyson is injured and will have his work cut out staying on their list.

After coming back from a knee, Dunn played a couple of games for the Pies (including v us) but is out of the side. Will probably retire at the end of the year.

Does that answer your question?

Watts - Contract is up at years end. Unfortunately for him I can't see him coming i to the side. Will always be welcomed back as a Dee.

Tyson- Contract runs out next year?? But apparently has a calf injury and the move to Kangaroos could become one of his biggest career blunders. Its a sad fall from grace, i really liked Dom and wished he stayed, but understood why he was traded. 

Dunn - Should have retired two years ago... when i watched him against us he looked fat and overweight.

Watts - I'm probably in the minority that wouldn't mind seeing this, but i don't think it'll happen. 

Tyson - Will likely be traded to another side for not very much, or retained for the last year of his contract and fizzle out as a player. sad because his best was extremely good. 

Dunn - great bloke, but well past it.

I was disappointed when Tyson left.  Much like Brayshaw last year, he was playing out of position in 2018 and struggled.  Would have played regular matches last year for us if fit.  
 

If memory serves correctly, I think the Gold Coast tried to lure him Nth.  In retrospect, that would have been a perfect move for him.  
 

Sad that he’s had so many injury problems over the past 12 months.  A player like him would improve our list overall and I believe the club when they said we’d have been happy to keep him, but can’t see it happening.

What improvement to our list TMF depth ? Or us he stopping development of Sparrow Jordan and even Jackson on the ball?

Frost appears to be doing decent (better than I expected) at the Hawks but we haven’t actually let go of too many players recently who have bit us in the bum. Howe is the only one that stands out, Kent would struggle to get a game with us (hence why he left), Dunn would as well but has done well to carve out a second career at the Pies and wish him all the best (though his mullet is just disgusting). 

As for Watts and Tyson, Dom filled a role at his time at the Dees and we needed a short term burst of decent quality. Watts you can’t help but feel a little sorry for, left the club and we make finals, he gets injured at Port and they look like they’ll be in the frame for the the premiership but I doubt he’ll get into the team. 

I gotta say that will be an interesting Open Mike after he’s retired.

Proposed (actual) list sizes next year doesnt help.  No outright to Dom and Dunn, though appreciate the service.  Watts is intriguing as he is skillful, then again laconic so it would take approx .5 games of him being back for DLand to blow up.

True, but the dominance of Steven May shows why we let him go.  Frosty had his moments but he was far too unpredictable, and Goodwin wants a tough, dependable back line.  Frosty was the anti-dependable defender, although I did enjoy watching him play.

I'm not suggesting you want him back, Pates, more that I've seen other posters throughout this year lamenting how we let him go.  I think we've seen enough now to show why we did.

In theory Watts at his best could find a spot in our best 22, but his best is probably well past him now.

Tyson's career looks done, and those two games Dunn played a couple of weeks ago suggest he should have retired at the end of last year.

If Watts was right in body and mind, he could be an import missing piece of the puzzle with his elite distribution by foot into forward 50 and also being a very accurate shot for goal.  I think he'd do a lot better second time around with us, without the saviour level of expectation and us having build a fairly decient side which he could fit into.  If he's available and our fitness guru gave it the ok, then I wouldn't be against it.

The other interesting thing is that could all parties put the past behind them regarding his exit, which get the impression wasn't on the best of terms between Jack and Goody.

I’d say he’s currently a better player than Sparrow and Jordan.  If I was picking a best 22 for finals this year and I could only play one out of those three, I think I’d pick Tyson.

Dom was great for us in his first few years.

Then he stagnated.  Others went past him and he got shoved out to a wing.  He was slow with ball in hand and was an average, at best, user of the footy.  I still have heart palpitations when I think of his horrible kick against the Pies in 2017 that almost cost us the game before the Watts sealer.  

Even when fit he struggled to get a run with Norf.

He wouldn't be in our best 30 players now.

Agree,  I think if he was coming back on a base salary, Watts is probably pushing for a spot as a medium tall rebounding defender, his foot skills alone would make it tempting,.. but I think it's unlikely.

I think people need to let go of this. Watts was let go due to poor off field standards.

He will also be nearing 30 by next. He's finished unfortunately.

    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.

    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
