  • 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.

Adem Yze dropped!

It's time to give Miller a wake-up call now.

EDIT: Actually, I'm not happy that Yze was dropped. He should not have played in round one now that he has been dropped. One game does not make a player, whether that be a bad game or a good game. It's just a waste that he was played now.

End of an era. Start of a new one.

Should also be mentioned, (or repeated, perhaps)...

Well done Neale.

Occo... Out of interest, feeling a tinge of sadness at all? Even in light of a decision you advocate?

Yep there is a side of sadness but i would prefer that we go out with 22 players who deserve a spot. Yze has been a champion at the club for so many years but i felt once he reached the forward line...he slowly began to loose the tallent he once had. To be honest i would like to see stynes hold the record. But yes in short there is some sadness

It needed to happen, but is the timing right????

Bartram will now miss, leaving our "depth" a tad shallow.

Yze really shouldnt be playing this week, this call had to be made and i just hope the dees can get over the hawks, otherwise the backlash will be ruthless.

Lopve godders and wheats, but you have to ask yourself would you rather godders or wheats in over yze?

YZe for me.

Totally agree with you Old Man.....

And I truly hope that this is the kick up the butt he needs to want to and to actually get back to his best.

Yeah, i agree with you on this point. Got the hilights of 2002, and YZE certainly played great footy. Great that stynes will hold the record, but i do feel a little sadness that he wont be playing and hopefully he will getting back to playing his best footy

i think this is great...but not for al the lets bash Yze reasons we normally have..lol.. but or the simplicity of getting that monkey off his back...its gone...cant be got back !! Now he can concentrate on playin glike he can..which when he puts his mind to it it marvellous. Mayb ethis will instill a new lease of life , a new sense of urgency...a new found mortality.. Now Neales doe it once...who's to say he wont agin in you follow my thinking. I expect Adem to have a new sense of earnign his place in this team. glad it s over...get cracking Ooze.. we do like you ...really .. well when you play the graeat Oozey footy that is :-)) I see this a s a great positive

Can't help thinking this whole Yze thing has just been one big witch hunt!

No way known he has been our worst player over the past 6-12 whatever games.

Question is now.......who will the supporters wrath be turned to now?????

Miller??? Bruce ????? Green ???? Bell ?????

Neale said on Before The Game tonight that this record was becoming a 'sideshow' for both Yze and the club as a whole. Good on Neale for doing it. It definitely would not have been the easiest thing to do particularly as Yze is, whether we like it or not, is a very well respected club veteran.

Whether Neale did it acting in the best interests of the team or whether he did because he felt pressured by the angry posters on Demonland ( ;) ), he did it and I commend him.

The ideal scenario is that Ooze will now completely focus on playing good footy as we all know he is capable of and star in our huge win over Geelong in Round 3. But the pessimist in me argues that he might be a bit discouraged by this whole 'ordeal'.

We will soon find out.

And some of those have copped a hell of a lot more than their (and others, for that matter) fair share of vitriol and abuse from us in recent times :angry: ......

As for Yze I just hope that he can again show us what has made him the respected Demon veteran that he is (or should be, or could be...... and whatever our personal opinions of him are at the minute, it probably should be remembered that he has done some amazing things for us, over a hell of a long time).

Maybe, and hopefully, this will all be for the best, as it sets aside the "monkey" as belzebub said earlier, and he can put it out of his head, and go back to playing with the skill (which I don't believe he has lost, just misplaced and form can be very fickle) as well as the heart and effort (which has been the biggest issue for mine) that put him where he is in the first place.

Although I do honestly hope that this wasn't a reaction to current fan bitching.

We can be frustrated and annoyed and regularly bloody awful about our (yes, our) players but at the end of the day this is and always should be Neal's decision, it is his head on the block, and I hope he made it for the good of the team, the club and the player, rather than us.

Just my opinion :D !!!

It should be mentioned that according to at least one report I'd seen, Yze approached the coaching department to say that if they wanted to play him at Sandy to find some form he'd be ok with that.

If true, that changes things for me.

Geez, If that's true then I am very worried about where this season is heading (but unfortunately also supports what I've suspected).

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

    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
