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.

Strange that a 2 second rev up to a couple of the boys was enough to get us the win but the Saints couldn't use the emotion of Spud's game to come out firing.

Sometimes the build up gets to you.

Think the Jim Stynes round 1 against Brisbane 2012

No thanks - I’d just about erased that shower of merde.

Gary cops a lot of crap from people but you can't deny his passion for the Dees. He is Melbourne through and through.

I know this is off-topic but I was hoping someone could help me with this.

Fox footy refer to Garry Lyon as a 5 time all-aus. However, looking at the All-Aus teams he seems to be mentioned only in 3 (93-95).

Even in this front bar episode below at the 1:40 mark, Garry says he was 5 time All-Aus, but you can see Andy Maher hold up three fingers and look embarrassed.

Could someone please explain?

There was no official All Aust. teams in 1989 1nd 1990.

Carnival AA teams ended in 1988,  and with foundation of the AFL from the VFL and state systems, resumed in 1991.

Yeah I don't think the build up is what lost us that game. We were just an awful team.

We sure were...nothing was going to inspire that team to a win.

...but your comment inspired an ironic laugh.

Just imagine if Gazza didn't [censored] his back, The Ox didn't do his knee and A Jakovich didn't all apart.

I bet we would have won a couple of flags in the mid to late 90's.

In a parallel universe where we weren't smashed by injuries to our elite talent this was our 1996-2000 forward line

HF      Lyon          Schwarz      Charles

F       Farmer       Jakovich     Robertson

 

With 1995 All Australian backman David Neitz holding the fort in the backline as the best CHB in the game.    

Sure its unlikely we would have drafted Robertson with a forward line that good and he and Jako probably would have strangled each other....

@ox_5 has answered your initial question. Now for the 'elephant in the room'...I'm not sure if that blouse Gary is wearing belongs to his first wife or to Billy's.

Correct but there was still a team of the year?? chosen for those two years and is listed within the AFL media guide and website and are counted as making the AA team.

G Lyon made The Big V side in 1989 and 1990 so i call that all Australian years.

I hear you, but the Team of the Year concept is in no way an AA team when 18 of the players are Victorians and are playing in Victoria comp, sprinkled with several interstate recruits like kernahan. By that logic there are no other players in the Wafl Sanfl Tfl etc worthy of a guernsey which would most likely be implausible.

So its a VFL Team of the Year. Still a great honour though.

    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
