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.


Hardwicks Hoods

I hope the coaches and Melk are putting the boys through boxing and sparring in preparation for any return match with Hardwicks Hoods.

On Fox Footy AFL 360 Wednesday night, a segment highlighted the dirty tactics employed by Nankervis and Lynch against the Giants defenders.

They got away with it again, as Lynch has on previous occasions.

No free kicks were paid downfield for their low acts behind play.

We all know about Lynch but i didn't realise the Nank was such a dirty player. Sly digs at Max when we played them and last night's footage showed him completely blindsiding a Giants player (the ball was miles away).  I hope he gets his comeuppance on the field of play soon. I'll cheer when i see it.

They were doing similar against us, plus there were also a few packs where Nankervis pinched Viney while he was stuck under people and Lynch used his elbow into the back of Max's head while he was going for a mark. Cats/Hawks/Lions etc. all did the same in their dominate periods, the unsociable hawks as they were called. I think it can be a frustration thing, when you are used to winning easily and you get challenged or start to loss, the bully boy option is what they turn too.

I’m so sick of hearing about Richmond. They are on the tv again this week - 8th prime time night game so far in just 10 rounds of football. 

The sooner they go back to being mediocre the better it will be for the football community. They currently sell papers and grab eyeballs, but if they go back into the wilderness 60% of their supporters go away with them. Just like what’s happened with the hawks.

It’s time. I’m bored.

The vision was appalling. Lynch is an absolute dog. They also had footage that other incident when he casually whacked a player that was prostrate on the ground in the back of the head, without even blinking.

Deliberate acts felling a defender during a centre bounce puts the forwards in a huge advantage if they win a centre clearance. Hate to be clichéd, but it is far outside the spirit of the game.

That’s integrity right there. Even the Carlton thugs behind me were acknowledging it.

No coincidence that the champion teams have mongrel in them and play on the edge or sometimes over the edg

The Hawks and the Lions often physically bashed teams up

I wonder if we have this in us. I don't want us sniping off the ball but I wouldn't mind us having more mongrel

Add Shane Edwards into the thug mix. He tackles ferociously hard but adds the finishing touch of a very subtle dumping of the player into the turf in order to injure. He puts his whole body into it and contorts the players legs into awkward positions, all in one motion so you can't distinguish The grapple and the dump. Calculated accidents. Just ask Ports Butters & Rozee about it!

 

Both him and Cotchin would be aiming to take out one of our mids early in a final

Absolutely. And be prepared to cop 10 weeks for a Premiership.

When I played footy, a sniper like Lynch would have been knocked out before half time. Those were the days.......?

Richmond have been a champion team, hats off to them. But I don’t think too many neutrals will be sorry if they fall back into the pack. Other than Dusty, and Jack Riewoldt in small doses, they are a fairly unlikeable outfit.

Compare their behaviour to how Maxy, Trac, Tmac, BB and Lever conduct themselves on the field. I much prefer the way we go about it.

When we played Tigers how dirty they are stood out, Nankervis & Lynch the standouts. Watch what happened to Max every time he took a mark in front of Nsnkervis, got smashed into the ground every time, not one 50. Plus all the other hits in head from Lynch/Riewoldt was why he was so slow against North, he took a battering against Richmond!

Until one player takes AFL to court and their lawyer shows all the cheap shots to the head, dropping knees into players back etc. and it costs the AFL $$$$$$$ they won’t clean it up!

Vanders plays hard but very fair, he seems too nice to do dirty work.

I wonder whether Uncle Byron should nominate for the mid season draft :)

I also watched the the episode of AFL 360 on Wed about Richmond's off the play "tactics"...unbelieveable that the MRP only found it necessary to issue a fine and even more unbelievable that the umpires failed to at least award a free kick. Richmond have been getting away with these "incidents" for ages. Forget the bus, the Karma Train cometh for Nankervis, Lynch and Riewoldt and it will hit them with divine retribution. Hoods is too good a name for these cowards.

    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

    TRAINING: Friday 19th April 2024

    They are out for a run just as it starts raining. It didn't last long, ended up a reasonable session weather wise.  Light duties, BBB, rehab Farris-White, Melky, Salem and Spargo, all with private trainers. They are all playing soccer, huge amount of noise. 36-40 (difficult to get a count) in the main squad, biggest I've seen it in ages. Choco is barking out the orders. Goody has intense body language as he observes. Bowey in a lime green cap (no contact), and in the sim
