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.

We couldn’t get Tom Phillips across but I wonder whether we would be interested in his brother Ed who has just been delisted by St Kilda.

Have only seen glimpses of him but has looked okay at times.

Maybe a rookie spot? Start him of at Casey on a wing and see if he’s good enough?

Thanks Daz. ( I am from Qld but ex Vic of 27 years.)

Is SFL like the old Federal District or SEFL.?

Federal League: No room for the faint hearted.

When I look through the delisted players , if I had to choose one player to pickup it would be Ryley Stoddart.  He has just turned 21 and had 3 years in the Swans system.  I remember him in the 2017 championships for Vic Metro.  He plays wing/half back , is a left footer and had real pace. Good skills. I think he got a few injury setbacks at the Swans and couldn’t quite crack it. Played the 6 games in 2018-19.  
Given his style is what we need (I’d like to add 3-4 quick skilled players to our list) , he’s worth a DFA or likely a rookie pick.

I wonder if being a 2 time premiership player will make us look at Jetta? He can play wing. We missed out on Isaac Smith he would be the next best thing for a year or 2.

Jetta has lost the hunger, 2 flags ten years in the system, no more he can achieve.

Mitch Cleary on AFL website has listed a full team of delisted free agents and given a walk through on most of the players.  Oscar is one of the more likely to get picked up. Though it’s likely most won’t get recycled and will roll back through state league or suburban footy or retire.  I think the Dees will go with a list of 43 and keep a rookie spot available for the summer training group SSP Opportunity.

The Cleary article indicates that Toby Bedford is our only uncontracted player and that a few others who the club has yet to confirm, have in fact signed new contracts.

i'm very confused with their thinking re bedford and chandler? do we know if chandler has been training/developing forward or back i hear mixed reports because if theyre both forwards why are we recontracting the one who didnt play a game and not the one who did or alternatively why did one play games if he isnt as worthy of a list spot going forward as the one who didnt. 

it would make sense that Chandler is playing back with Hore, KK, nietschke injured this year long term and jetta seemingly falling off a cliff. we didnt have any real depth bar lockhart. would explain the harmes decision too a bit

Believe Chandler was/has been played back. I think in one the hub videos Egan described him as a 'Rory Laird' type. 

Happy that Chandler has been retained. I think he will might be ok.

I can't see Bedford making it though so if he was delisted I would say fair enough.

As Pulp says, Chandler did preseason with the backline but obv didn't play a lot of footy. He was also injured during a fair stretch of the 2020 preseason.

Shane Savage just delisted. I’d take him ahead of a few on our list. Wouldn’t have bothered to sign up some of the depth players we kept on. Ah well!

30 years old at the start of next season. Reckon you’d want to be taking a fairly special player at 30 years of age, which he is not.

    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
