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.

Wouldn't be a '65 hit would it?

or '66?

And did you mean to put this in the Cerra thread?

I've spent 10 minutes trying to decipher this and I've got nothing 

I immediately googled the entire song list.

I came up with the songs Dawn and Bye Bye Baby, which leads me to conclude that we are going to trade Gawn.

I did the same, unfortunately I was shocked to discover no 'Cerra a done deal, don't worry we won't pay overs' EP in their discography

Melbourne midfielder Angus Brayshaw laughs off the yet another trade link to Fremantle Dockers to join brother Andy

 "Melbourne star Angus Brayshaw has dismissed speculation he could be part of a trade for Fremantle’s Adam Cerra, saying he has no interest in leaving the Demons."

Not sure if this has already been posted but it's from the West Australian and is behind a paywall

I wouldn’t be shocked if he seeks a trade, win or lose, independent of the Cerra trade.

How many more years does he want to be known as the player that plays the sacrificial wing role?

The blokes a talented midfielder by trade and would have a strong desire to get back into the centre square and increase his goal kicking tally from 2 a year.

Feels like you're skipping a step here. If it was playing more inside mid minutes versus requesting a trade, I'm sure the club would reach a middle ground for a new role in 2022.

FWIW, Brayshaw looks one of the most invested in the club, from an outsider looking in.

Yeah, not expecting to Brayshaw to be actively seeking a trade but it wouldn’t knock me for 6 either if he was elsewhere next year.

Well, they didn’t do Que Sera Sera. Is there any player named Ronnie on the market? Maybe Jesse’s coming back a la Walking My Way Back To You?

Premierships speak louder than goal tallies.

Really what else would he say before a grand final anyhow even if he is part of a trade for Cerra ... love Angus but the swap makes sense if he wants to go ... dees want a pure wingman and freo would be happy to get in a decent mid that still fits their younger list profile and adds a ton of leadership ... the Angus and Andrew show would be a winner over there ... would it also explain the Lachie Neale about face

I just don’t get the Angus talk.  Deeply invested, about to enter a dynasty type window, plays a critical role in a way no-one else in the comp does it.  Gets to be smart, tough, effective and lead every game, stats count regardless.

he is worth way more to us than Cerra.  If we get a pure wingman, he gets more centre rotations.  But atm he plays about 80-100% game time.  
 

he is an absolute keeper for me.

I wouldn't worry too much about it I don't think either he or the club have intentions of him going anywhere.

Once it became known that Cerra had met with us and there was some real interest in joining us, journalists went to work doing what they do and threw names against the wall to see what sticks.  Jacko's name fell off after Pert hosed down any speculation he would be traded, the next name was Gus's simply because his brother plays at the Dockers.  No real substance and Gus has hosed that down as well - expect to see Riv or Kozzie's names mentioned next.    

I think if we get Cerra it will need a few moving parts related to player movement and draft picks from more than one other club.

    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
