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.


Farewell Mitch Hannan

Yep I was devastated when he left but now I'm fine with it. Truth be told I kind of actually forgot about him until I heard he was playing tomorrow night. 

Good luck to him, I hope he plays well.

Yep that goal against geelong is still on my favourites. The look on Chris Scott's face is even better.

As annoying as BT can often be, he absolutely nails this commentary.

The only player to have left the club recently who won't be spewing. 

Best of luck to him! 

Agreed. A good outcome for him. But given dees forward structure and strategy i think there was no room for him and fritsch.

Mitch was a bit hot and cold but fritsch has become a 4 quarter threat and is more vetsatile.

I caught a little bit of the Dogs v GWS VFL game the other day. I was really surprised by his size. Much bigger and taller than I remember. Looking forward to seeing him again tonight to confirm or realign my view.

I liked Mitch but he did just seem to keep getting injured. Wish him well.

You have to handle it to the Cat supporting Whately for that call. If I was commentating that and my team was about to face certain finals elimination it would sound something like “ [censored], [censored]! miss it you [censored] “

Bruce (deary, deary me . . . their version of Chris Dawes, only much worse), Cordy (doesn't get to enough contests to kill the ball), Duryea (c-grader that played in a premiership surrounded by really good players), Hannan, Martin, Naughton, Schache (a gamble that hasn't paid off and shouldn't play another AFL game), JJ (what has happened to him?), West, Scott. Naughton still has time on his side, but the others either won't or can't improve. Their only first choice player not available last night, who makes a significant difference, is English. They have a respectable mid-field bunch, but field seriously flawed talls in both the back and front half.

One of their better midfielders in Dunkley was not available. Would he have made the difference? Probably not, but you went early on the Bulldogs are in real trouble and I don't think it's justified.

Agree AF. I wouldnt be writing them off yet after 1 bad half against a great team.

That midfield is still incredible (despite losing Dunkley) and will beat most teams. Their youngsters look good and their support players are good enough. 

In saying all that... Queanbeyan Demons analysis of their bad players is accurate too.

Naughton - despite his irritating coiffure - is an outstanding talent. But you're right about Bruce - and his hairdo is even more nauseating.

    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
