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.


All is well in Demonland

Well its Nine Zip.

Hard fo fathom as well as the fact that last time we were this good we won....do I dare say it...f....

I cant finish it. Its beyond comprehension.

As annoying as Bt was commentating , he was interviewing Dees supporters about their fears and new confidence. It was great to see some older supporters talk about the wait.

Ive never seen Dland so happy. Sure theres the usual backhanded comment or doubting of someones footy iq or rediculous changes but on the whole at nine zero we are a happy bunch.

So many likes and loves you can tell we are on an upward path.

Long may it continue.

Ill say it...a flag? Take that Bt.

my spleen is enlarged - i haven't been able to vent it for some time.

That' the problem with omitting Jake Melksham.

I'm really looking forward to the next three weeks. Get over Adelaide then back to back against the other two form teams of the competition.

Bring it on.

What a wonderful resource we have in Demonland!

I've been a Life Member ever since membership categories were introduced, and each season I try to toss in a few extra bucks to say thanks to Andy and the crew, who contribute their time, energy and 'hard-earned' to provide an outstanding service for us long suffering Demons fans.  

Given that I'm in such a good frame of mind about 9 zip, I hereby pledge to make an additional donation if we make it to 10 zip.

ps I hope this post isn't out of line Andy / Mods.  If it is, please delete.  My donation will be forthcoming regardless.

Can honestly say I've never been so relaxed watching us play.
Trusting the game plan and commitment of the players to get it done.
But come finals time I'll be a forkin' mental case.

Dunno about anyone else but i fill full of apprehension watching us play I can't bear to see us loose a game just thinking about how we will respond the following week, I almost want it over with?. At the same time I'm loving it and hoping we go undefeated all season including finals......

Same here. Such a weird feeling not stressing over what could go wrong.

Demonland is awesome! My only regret is that I only learned of its existence four weeks ago. I really, really could’ve done with it last year. In early March a three-week visit to Warsaw blew out to seven months thanks to covid. All I had was a 6-min highlights video on YouTube after each match, which I only watched if we’d won. The first (and only) match I watched in it’s entirety was the grannie, and that was on Day 11 of hotel quarantine in Adelaide. Oh, how I could’ve done with Demonland last year. ❤️?

When (if) we do lose a game:

If we lose to a bottom team - Drinking bathwater.

If we lose to a top team - Not ready for the pressure of big games.

If we lose to a middle team - Never as good as our wins made us look and really the middle is where we belong.

Similar commentary will align with it being a big loss, small loss or middle loss.

The only realistic option is to not lose again.  Ever.

The last 2 weeks are the calmest I think I’ve ever been watching Melbourne play. I just had faith we would get on top and get the job done, and even if we didn’t, it wouldn’t be the end of the world.

I’m usually an absolute nut case when I watch Melbourne. It has bought out the best and worst of me at times over the years.

    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
