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.


My 3 word player analysis V The Dorks

You Miller bashers never give up! You've been screeming about how he only gets worthless possessions up the ground and never kicks goals. So, on a day where he presented all day and took three strong marks inside the 50 and goaled from all of them he is still a failure?

Miller- a capable display.

I've been very critical of Miller. Today he played a capable CHF's game. Presented, kicked 3 (admittedly one of them just floated through), took one really good mark and a few gimmes, gave off adequately. IE: he played like a reasonable CHF. If he can go on from there and use this game as a benchmark, he just might turn into a handy footballer - considering he was a speculative draft pick in the 60's.

McDonald and Jones, it's fair to say, kept us going on the ball

Whelan was solid,

Carroll worked hard under pressure

Bell, again, was a solid performance

Brown and Ward were some of our better running-creative players

Green, Moloney, Miller, Robertson, Jamar, Rivers and Godfrey were mostly OK and sometimes good

White & Jamar, Johnson, Wheatley and Bate all struggled

But Johnstone and Davey are where I'm really worried.

Gotta get that magic back, hell, they ARE our magic

But seriously, "Bruce - no longer elite"?

Ho hum.

I'm real impressed by your bagging. No really. I can't wait to see you at training, telling it like it is to the coaching staff, who obviously are in real need of your advice...

Doesn't matter, it went through ;) !!!

Miller was sensational today

I am with YM on this particular issue.....

If there was a positive to be taken out of this mess it was the game we saw from Miller today.

It was undoubtedly a vast improvement on recent times and hopefully a mark of things to come.

Whelan - not his best

Carroll - patchy in spots

Bell - rounding into form

Brown - normal browny game

Rivers - good in return

Ward - no impact felt

Johnstone - brent grgic like

Johnson - not hard enough

Green - 150th or 15th?

Davey - did he play??(he barely went near it)

Moloney - good in parts

McDonald - worked hard

Robertson - missed some chances

Neitz - only played 5mins

Jones - did his job

Miller - good, needed support

Jamar - played well forward

Bate - good and raw

Wheatley - played below standard

Bruce - missing top gear

White - won the ruck

Godfrey - played with purpose

Whelan was solid

Whelan was woeful. One of his worst performances in a long time.

Maybe he's still suffering the affects from last week's injury. I guess we let him off the hook for once, because he's always been a sensational, hard-working player.

But he was terrible yesterday, Williams made a meal of him, and he got frustrated and gave away silly free kicks.

Bell should have been given the role on Williams a lot sooner. Sadly, the coaches box has the reaction time of a senior centre.

Actually wrecker started beautifully. But yes, he's that good a player that we haven't seen him play that badly in a LONG time, if at all. The new rules aren't helipng his tough-as-old-boots game, and the umpires were on him like a rash. Not making excuses, it certainly wasn't his day, and he should learn to adapt... but he's got enough brownie points in the bank for us to chalk this up as an abberration haven't we?

I thought :

Miller was good. Tried hard, put himself in the game and kicked 3.

Carroll put in another serviceable game

Junior was good - last Q terrific but all to late

Jones - showed in the last Q how good a player he will be.

Bell - Not many possessions but tried hard. Is a late developer and should be ok.

Bruce - good

Rivers - Tried hard

Bate - not far off being a good player. Got caught a couple of times. Needs games under his belt.

Not much to say about the rest.

    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
