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.

This might be the loss that finally nails Goodys coffin

You would pharking hope so.

How much can a supporter base take.

Are there any clauses in the final 2 years of Goody's contract?

They couldn't be that dumb could they?

List quality is different.. not maximising list quality is career suicide 

Depends where you think the list quality is at I guess!

We can agree to disagree. My estimate pre-season was that we'd finish between 6th - 12th (and I think most judges thought that).

Why does, whoever the opposing team is, clear the ball from our F50 so easily,  then spread to our unmanned wing delivering it into their f50 with a series of uncontested marks. The Dees conversely struggle to clear if from our d50, kicking it to a contest on the congested wing usually losing possession. If we win the ball, we expend maximum energy doing so. 
Just seems an obvious flawed strategy. Can someone explain please?

Couch discussion was so good, and like him or not Lyon nailed everything about the club and the side. 

 

I wasn’t watching but I’m just laughing about the fact that people were upset that Lyon wasn’t more positive after we beat North Melbourne I think it was a few weeks ago.

Goodwin has lost me. Bartlett must act now. We can't have another year or 2 of these gutless, heartless performance. Outcoached two weeks in a row when our season was on the line. [censored]

Did they not look at a forecast before playing Preuss?

The players can take some blame too. Mentally fragile.

Agree with almost every criticism here but I have one more to add. We have one of the best taggers in the comp James Harmes, who has wasted away at half back every game without tagging once this year. The week he comes out injured we decide that tagging is actually a viable tactic, and throw a ball using half forward onto one of the biggest and best contested mids in the game. Fyfe 22 touches and 7 clearances. Melksham 9 touches and 2 clearances. Beyond a joke at this point.

If you go to the third quarter with about 4.30 left on the clock, you can watch Melksham tag his own team mate by grabbing AVBs guernsey as he's trying to bust clear of a pack at half forward.

Melksham has been woeful this year but never gets dropped.

Truth Doesn't fit the narrative sometimes.

This presser is giving us absolutely nothing information wise. Platitudes like we need to be ruthless. We need to play better footy. We need to get better at all phases of the game. What an utter waste of time. Treat the supporters with respect.

Goody

Freo were better than us

Why the [censored] risk Jackson?? Put him in cotton wool for [censored] sake

Goodwin coaching to save himself it's the reason he swung the axe and brought in guys like Baker and Bedford. His press conference was all about deflection talking about the broader club. He must know he's on his last legs.

I have to say that I’ve always thought Lyon is constantly negative, but he has been proven right. Unfortunately 2018 was the aberration - we are nowhere near it - and, as he says, not playing as a team.

    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
