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.

Players from other clubs ...the best of?

With all the forum speculation on who we should pick up from other clubs I thought I'd trawl my memory (and AFL Tables) for the best from each. Broken up into pre and post 2000. Only criteria is that they must have played senior footy before coming to the Dees. Andrew Leoncelli and Brett Lovett don't qualify. 

Adelaide - Anthony Ingerson (121 games), Bernie Vince (100 games). Crows are by far the most fertile breeding ground.

Brisbane - Nick Carter (3), Joel MacDonald (44). Very limited for choice!

Carlton - Philip Pinnell (28), Jeff Garlett (78). 

Collingwood - Peter Moore (77), Chris Dawes (50).

Essendon - Ray Smith (27), Michael Hibberd (72*). Honourable mention to Ken Roberts (12) for chasing Terry Wheeler down the ground at Footscray to belt him after being on the receiving end of a squirrel grip.

Fitzroy - Marcus Seecamp (89), Nil. 

Fremantle - Jeff White (236), Viv Michie (21).

Geelong - Nigel Kol (28), Brent Moloney (122). 

Gold Coast - Nil, Stephen May (25*).

GWS - Nil, Dom Tyson (94).

Hawthorn - David Flintoff (31), Jordan Lewis (55)

North Melbourne - Stepken Icke (78), Cam Pedersen (64). Triple premiership hero Ben Brown to assume this mantle in 2024.

Port Adelaide - Nil, Byron Pickett (29)

Richmond - Laurie Fowler (140), Ben Holland (66)

St.Kilda - Carl Ditterich (82), Nil.

Sydney - Jamie Duursma (33), Nil.

Western Bulldogs - Brian Wilson (154), Daniel Cross (39).

West Coast - Darren Bennett (74), Nil.

If I get time I'll do one for players going the other way. I'm scared it will just make me depressed.

Recall Brian Wilson being recruited from Kangaroos went on (infamously) to be a four club player.

His match winning return to 'G in '91 was the only game he really turned it on for the Saints.

Steven Clark from Essendon looked like he would win the brownlow in his first 3 games then done his knee and was never the same. Trevor Spencer from Essendon. Scott Chisholm from Freo, Andy Goodwin from Richmond. Rodan from Port, Byrnes from Geelong Giles also from Geelong. Shaun Smith from North. Pesch from Adelaide. Egan from Richmond.

With great respect for this to mean anything a team of 22 best In position is a good way of showcasing the talent and performance of this group.

Bizzell from Geelong; despite being cut down by injury I still like him better than Moloney who I'm convinced got in the way of other's development for the sake of his stats and status.

Ridiculous take

    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
