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.

Does this mean we won't have to be kicking out unruly opposition supporters from our members' only section because security haven't done their job properly?

Hope the security staff will be better trained in Covid safe practice.

Hoping you are able to enjoy our season whether on the box or in the flesh as we warm up for hopefully a return to the Finals this year.

i think many of the jig saw pieces are starting to complete the commencement of the puzzle viz. running and youthful youngsters with real talent to solve the soft spots in our Game plan armour and the off field expertise to assist the Senior coach in preparation and most importantly if allowed on game day.

Surely Ticketmaster and Ticketek will waive their booking fees as a gesture of goodwill.

Ticketek LOL, still waiting for a refund for the Queen's Birthday game.

I have a reserved seat on my membership. I should be able to use that seat and get into the game with my membership card instead of having to book through tickitek and pay 5 bucks more for a seat somewhere in noddyland. The whole thing disgusts me.

Sorry dl4e I am not sure how reserved seat holders will be processed.

BUT you will have to purchase a ticket ( for $0.00) wherever you are in the ground ad part of Covid safevplans the AFL and other sporting bodies are required to fo now.

Judy having a reserved seat does not help tracing but a ticket for $0.00 does and you will need to abide by the same rules as all attendees at AFL games.

What  distancing ( if any) that may be applied early in the season is the other key.

This  has happened In the Brisbane games of AFL and last weeks Test  Match in the Gabba Trust members area.

it is quite simple really and protects you as much as the persons in your vicinity.

Also get used to Card Only transactions  St the venues.

Some  D/L ers are going to be far outside their comfort zone I imagine so will be interested to see reactions posted but really it's all for Covid safe Plans and Health  requirements when you Really analyse these changes.

I get the feeling I won't bother going through the process. 

Well you won't be going AND Supermarcado I would have thought you would be more Informed  and check the facts.

There  is no $5 charge eith Ticketec or Ticketmaster  for all bookings fir membership ticket holders.

I just wish Sometimes  some D/Lers would get there facts straight before shooting off and creating a reaction  from precious little angels that don't want and can't cope with Civid  like changes!

After the last year 58er my interest has waned considerable in football in total. With the total uncertainty about how the season will unfold I am not jumping out of my  skin about the coming season. I am not being negative  intentionally but I have heard all the things about how we will go in the coming season before but experience has taught me not too over expect  from the MFC.

I received an email from the club today about attending the girls game at Casey.

They state that there will be a limited number of tickets available but nowhere do they list a number.

Does anyone know what the number might be?

I think I read 50% capacity for the womens is permitted.

I see the email says Melbourne AFLW members get priority.

Is this some separate membership to the usual MFC membership?

Any idea what that means at Casey?

According to Wikipedia the normal capacity is 9-10k

350 seated

The 9-10k was before they built the new facility which probably took a few hundred at least from maximum capacity.

So I guess it to be 5k.. have we ever had a crowd that size for AFLW?

And you have to pay to get in for the first time this year.

    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
