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.

Nathan Jones Locked in for 2021

I have thought that Nathan Jones was at the end of his career.

His kicking upfield has dropped. He used to be a good kick under 40 metres, but wavered when trying to get the long pass. This year was not a good year.

When he was moved to the high forward position this year, I thought this should work and, if successful, enable him to get another year.  Due to injuries, this was not proven to be the case.

Now that he has re-signed, I believe that the football department see him as a totem - enhancing esprit de corps, high training standards and, with a more fortunate run of good fitness, some onfield leadership and great highlights.

Good fortune to Mr Jones

Yes....this is what Club culture is all about.  He will get games if he is good enough, if not we haven't shoved a leader out the door like we did with Junior.

The thing is, Nathan Jones is going to offer 10x as much off the field as our 40th bloke will overall. and that's even if he doesn't play a game. and with a reduced soft cap, guys like this are going

Didnt Melb beat Richmond on Kevin Bartletts 300th? I might be wrong it was a long time ago. Happy for Jones to make it as long as he earns it.  Looks like Hibberd and Melksham wont be gifted games, must apply to Jones too.

He’s more than holding his own atm. 300 games is a monumental effort and he deserved the contract extension after his loyalty, leadership and efforts. Hats off to him and the club

I am sure this has been pointed out already but if Jonesy can hold his spot in the team his 300th game will be the blockbuster Saturday night game in Round 6 against Richmond.  What a night that could be for the club.

That would be a monumental night for the history of this grand old club, I can only imagine the scenes if its able to happen in this manner.

God willing we can pull off a victory for the heart and soul of our club.

I have the perfect ending in my dreams for Jonesy.???

Richmond beat the Dogs on KB’s 300th by 73 points in 1979, at the MCG.

What happened in his 400th?

Might have been his 400th siam.

Lost to the Pies by 7 pints at the MCG in front of 82,000 in 1983.

Could he be thinking of the Hafey death game back in 2014 when we upset them?

If you trawl through the stats he is about mid-rank among our best 22 at the moment, with some better and some below average.  That roughly matches the impression I've had from the games, too.  Would be silly to say he is starring but he has been a solid contributor in a team which very much needed solid contributors to fill our a somewhat brittle game-day sheet.

Touch wood, tap that shiny nogg'n, and may 2021 continue to be a proudly workmanlike season from the veteran.

And whatever else happens he'll always be better looking that his brother.

    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
