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.

I am so ashamed of Melbourne. Utterly disappointed. I didn't go to the game and very glad i didnt. What i noticed from the game:

*No pressure - No tackling

*Johnstone, Green, Davey - shame on you

*A very slow team - how danners can ask us to run and carry when we have NO speed

*Not one player was great but Miller, Moloney, bruce, brown were some of the better players

*Davey - Slow, this guy was disgracefull and i believe he is much slower after his hammys. Teams are also more aware of his presence.

Although some blame has to go to danners, i blame the majority on it on our players. Johnstone 2possies on Sewell (someone not well known) is shocking. Whelan on Williams (we did that in 05 and he tore us apart), C.Johnson back to sandy.

I dont really know what to say, yes we can blame Neitz, Wheatley and Robbo injuries but we never looked like winning. And for a member to say "At least we won the last quarter" means nothing.

I look at Brisbane who have a good list already, Dogs who will be in top 4, Essendon with speed, tallent and leadership and I look at us. Even richmond have more future than us.

Many said that we would be top 4 so to even make the 8 is stupid and a failure. My opinion, melb to come bottom 4, ND to get the sack, and plenty of draft picks. I am so angry and feel like tearing up my membership. I will cop something on here for saying that but like it or not i speak my mind.

If only ND would drop davey, TJ, Green - who at the end of the day will have to live knowing he was one of 22 who was responsible for our loss on game 150.

Lastly, dont play White or Jamar forward. they cant do anything there and get in the way

Go hard or go home melbourne and i mean it!

You should be able to get your money back on your membership with a totally inept performance displayed in the opening rounds. We're so bad, I can't fathom how we're even gonna get competitive this year. There's so many deficiencies it's heart breaking.

Moloney injured too. Calf injury.

So:

Moloney

Robertson

Neitz

Davey - serious ankle injury

i dont disagree entirely with you occo, and you make some good points, however:

*Davey - Slow, this guy was disgracefull and i believe he is much slower after his hammys. Teams are also more aware of his presence.

he showed good pace at times and is still very quick, even if he isnt as quick as he used to be. and i thought he was one of the few who chased most of the day.

Lastly, dont play White or Jamar forward. they cant do anything there and get in the way

didnt they both kick goals? jamar does more up forward, where he can mark and kick for goal, than he does around the ground.

Utter tripe served up out there today

We are soft without without McLean, Sylvia and Pickett

Brent Moloney - a battler at best. Worst tackler in the AFL. No technique at all, just jumps in the players back

Green, Johnstone, Bruce - if these guys are in line for the captaincy, we will never win a flag

We need a decent ruckman, a Centre half back and a crumbing forward

Bate - worst hands in the comp. Butter fingers

PATHETIC!!!

Agreed Bruce was OK for a game where no players stood out. Harsh on Moloney (2nd game from injury), this kid has the potential to be a sensational player. As for bate (ur comment was extreamly harsh), he is a great player but is not a midfielder. More a forward pocket.

he didn't tell neale to go and get stuffed when asked to shift from midfield to the forward line in the second quarter.

he spent most of the rest of the game up forward - where he had no effect whatsoever on the play.

our midfield rotations make no sense. when hawthorn were coming back in the second junior and jones were both sitting on the pine. crazy.

we look very, very slow.

It's just part of our grand plan to get Judd. Neitz said we were going to bottom out so we could get him on SEN. Injuries, injuries and more injuries what a secret weapon Bohdan is sign him up for life doing to us what he done for Hawthorn what a recruit.

He cannot kick, pure and simple. His disposal for an elite player is shameful.

He fluffed more kicks than I care to remember.

Started like a house on fire, but as soon as we started losing he disappeared. He apperantly had 29 possessions, but his influence was minimal at best.

Bate did make a couple of mistakes by foot, as did Jones, but gees at least they were out there running and trying their guts out, and they had VERY limited support from senior players who are meant to be carrying the side.

Poor coaching from Daniher to play TJ up forward when he couldn't get near it and Bate at FF when he is clearly not suited to the role. Also, Whelan on Williams for far too long. Bell pretty much nullified him in the last, apart from giving away a silly free kick which resulted in a goal.

Speaking of which, Wheatley... what are you thinking??

White was really poor in the middle, which made us look even worse in the middle.

Really I thought our most useful, hardest working midfielder was Godfrey (honorable mentions to Jones and Junior as always), which in itself should tell you how badly we played today.

But, it's only round 2... we're not allowed to panic yet, right?

occo, no tackling? we out tackled hawks 73 to 50 somthing?! that wasnt our problem... and davey slow? comon who are u kidding

we did have too many passengers and players we need to stand up like johnstone, green did not. Chris Johnson should get another week but hed better start getting more of it. I thought Bell played well today. He is very quick and looked a lot more composed in the backline than normal.

And good old Brown Dog was excellent. Hopefully melbourne coaching staff will start to appreciated him a little more.

How about one thing that did help Bruce was Johnstone receiving the hard tag all day to free up other players, and then receiving no help back from anyone at bounces helping shake the tag with blocks.

Am I winding you up? Sorry mate, you're right, he wasn't a disgrace. But I think he's given the tagging job too much. He stiched up Hodge in the first quarter, but then he was on Franklin and fought a losing battle. He's only freed up to attack when the game's getting desperate. Let the guy play. He's so much better than that.

Yze magic u have got the be the biggest KNOW IT ALL Wan... ever on DEMONLAND ... but here is a newsflash for u , U KNOW NOTHING....

Bruce worst kick in the AFL ey?

slight exageration to say the least....

week in week out u bash the crap out of players like Yze green miller .... welll u complain we cant kick ... and yze probly our best ball user ... u called for his blood and u got it.....

u want all these so called young guns.... to play ....

i hate to tell u but these young guns were SHITE today..... thats right

BATE was pathedic.... had like 5 clanger kicks and he has the least time in the AFL its like the player he is on is tackling him before he even has the ball.... he has no awareness....

JOnes i can say exacly the same.... he was crap....

as for bruce..... he played midfeild on hodge .... umm 10 possesions in first qrt.... his oppnonent hodge i think had 1 or 2...... bruce was moved down back and up foward.... throughtout the game....

show some respect......

29 possesions ....

as for ur little captain brock mclean..... talkin the talk from the sidelines.... i dont see anyone else stepping up besides bruce and mcdonald.

G'day Fellow Demons Supporters!

That was a disgraceful and gutless effort! :angry:

I'm seething with anger as I'm sure a lot of you on here are.

All I can say is that if Neale Daniher doesn't improve our game plan his coaching days are numbered! Even though, a lot of players were pathetic and hopeless in their efforts today......he's been our coach for 9 years so the buck stops with him! <_<

GO DEMONS IN 2007?

    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

    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
