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.

Goody needs to give the team a spray and demand a lift from our leaders. They shouldn't rock up for QB with such a poor attitude. Across the board we've been sloppy and disjointed. Salem only player switched on today.

The pies are not great so we're not our of this by any means but i wish we didn't make things unnecessarily hard for ourselves all the time.

My changes…….Max to FF.  Weed and Jacko to ruck. Trac, Clarry and rotate Hunt/Langdon/Kozzie through the middle. Harmes to go with De Goey if he starts in the middle of course.

No Grundy and we still aren’t doing well in the middle.

They are playing up tempo footy and we are behind the pace at the moment.

Need our captain to lift & lead the way. Trac needs to start dominating, Langdon has to start running & seriously do something with weiderman. Oh & Pickett needs to do something. Yes he is exciting but it's time he he started to put himself into games

Lol.. people just waking up now to how useless Weideman is? Dear lord.

He hasn't been great but I'm hoping to see Mcdonald lift in the second half as well. When he lifts, the team lifts. The second half against Brisbane was a great example of that.

People bang on about Melksham being best buds with Goody but I’d love to know what Weid has on him. How he keeps getting a game with one good game in six seasons when we have a proven 60 goal a year forward fully fit is one of the greatest selection mysteries of our time.

QB is about Neale, not about Bucks. Let’s turn it back on in the third quarter, wrestle back the lead and get it done.

really need to start linking some of these possession chains into positive forward entries, not long-bombs to packs in the pockets

Lol Gary just loves to sink the boots in at times doens't he?

I understand it's his job but sometimes I can hear the joy in his voice when we're down 

He actually loves the club. He’s just frightened of being labelled as biased. So when he sinks the boots in, it helps the ‘unbiased’ narrative.

I reckon Clarry more than anyone has some credits in the bank. He can’t win every game for us. He get 20+ touches in the second half. No doubt

Doesn't matter. His complete lack of effort in the first 30 minutes set the tone for the rest of the boys and gave Collingwood a lift across the board. Not only didn't he work for the ball, he wasn't even within 50m of most contests. Not good enough and this predicament is not solely on his shoulders but largely on his shoulders as well as Fritsch's ball use and Gawn's lack of domination.

Couldn’t be playing worse. We look slow, tired, unstructured, unskilled. Everything we haven’t been this season. 

+4 inside 50s but three goals down. Kicking it to Moore isn’t helping but that’s in part because Weideman is just so far off it he’s not worth aiming for. So many of their goals have come from our forward half turnovers. 

About the only positive is that we’re only 16 points down. We’ve flipped switches a number of times this year. Let’s hope we can again, because we’re sure as hell not winning this the way we’re playing so far. 

All talls have also failed to at least get the ball to ground as well albeit with few opportunities so far but they have all failed.

Tracc's Hollywood handballs have also been  super frustrating to watch so far.

Defence a shambles. Lever hates defending and would rather just sit out for the easy ball.. [censored] man up!

Max getting taught a lesson by Lunch who's played 4 games.. that's right 4 [censored] games!

This is Adelaide written all over again. 

He's been given a fair go now Daz, He can't complain about the run he has been given, the time has come for BBB.

We paid money to come to our club and kick goals.

Get him in and just let him work with Tmac.

Fair call. What a difference a poor game from him makes. But Trac hasnt been great either.

And when we do go forward we look disinterested and are beaten everytime.

Why Sam W cannot hold a mark is strange. His timing is off. 

Tmac has gone missing and we really rely on him.

Heres hoping we can do what we did against the Lions and flick the switch on.

Im not sure if we can. The body language isnt great.

Win ..lose or draw can we at least start tackling much more and show some physicality.

We are top v a  bottom side ffs....lets at least make it hard for them.

I'm positive we're being lazy.
I'm positive we're being outcoached
I'm positive we'll probably lose this by a poor umpiring decision and a kick
I'm positive this may be our mid year slump
I'm positive we're much better than this
Time to lift Dees .

    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
