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.

What winning means to the team?

Just for fun how is this?

JK. I’m being facetious. “Australian capital city with...” probs would’ve been better. But then again, Canberra is an eight-letter word, not nine.

This team still plays with the yips.  When Dusty Martin takes a forward 50 mark - you can see he is relishing the moment and wants to kick the goals to win the games. Oliver,  Petracca, Max, Brayshaw and Kozzie are still not there yet.  Look out when this winning confidence starts to do what it is doing to someone like Tom McDonald (confidence 200% atm). There are more gears to this

Especially Trac and Max who are often playing forward. An area they really need to fix.

Great post @Altona-demon.  Those early season 'come from behind' wins against St Kilda and Geelong were very important in terms of building self-belief.

As for a winning culture, I really would like the team to not get jumped early in the first qrts.

Its fantastic that we have come back in several games but would obviously better if we dont make it harder for ourselves.

Centre clearances last week were a worry.

Cheers to our defence.

This is such a great explanation of the MFCSS - hit the nail on the head!

Agree.

Missed one important example.

The forward who has been down on form, thst we play back into form and he kicks a bag.

I'm gonna be nervous if they start cripps forward!

Not just yet DA (it's your fault having those initials!)

Props to you, WCW, and Lucie and Mr Stone, for your 'encryption' of MFCSS. I got as far as 'Spooner's campanologist...' then my brain caved in...

I'd actually only meant to throw out a challenge for an 'antagonistic or belligerent' alternative for 'Supporter'. May I contribute 'Skyisfalling'?

Nice post, but you're tough to single out Brayshaw - his win/loss record is 50-52 and he's only had two seasons in his career where he's played in more losing games than winning ones, one of which was his first one, the other being the car crash that was 2019. I don't think he qualifies as a player who's a bit used to losing. Really the only ones on our list that were there for the really dark times are Jones, Gawn, Viney and McDonald; three of which are leading the resurgence. 

I'd argue McDonald still suffers from this. He's been up for a few weeks now, but after starting well in 2021, he had that really poor game against GWS, and to me at least, his head seemed to really drop. But to be fair, he's looked a million dollars since. 

Let's just hope we keep winning a while longer and the players almost forget what losing feels like.

I mean, there’s worse bands they could’ve picked. Depeche Mode are actually really good. I still regularly listen to Songs of Faith and Devotion, an album from early 2000’s. 
GO DEES!!!!

Hadda include Go Dees lest we’re punished for hijacking this thread. Oh, and coz the Dees are the greatest football club in the history of mankind, and a bit before that. ?

One last thing on Depeche Mode... all the detractors making so much noise about the Dees etc. If we make it all the way this year we can “Enjoy The Silence.”

Silence from all 17 other clubs, that is. And us? We’ll be bringing the proverbial house down. We’ll register 8, maybe 9 on the Richter scale. ?

    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

    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.

    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
