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.


Gus & Gawney Podcast - special guest Simon Goodwin

I love these podcasts for the honesty and obvious regard for the team that's exhibited each week but this weeks special guest gave a much better insight  into the relationships at the Club.

Although Goody  lapsed occasionally into his media speak, it was so refreshing to hear him speak in the way he talks/ communicates to the group on a day to day basis.

They have definitely got better, pretty good listening now. It shows what a great culture has been built up at the Dees - in no small part, due to Macy’s influence as captain, I’d say.

Over the course of this year, I've been getting a sense with Simon Goodwin that he's not just any coach. I think he could be something special. Like Clarko good.

Now before you all whack me, someone has to be the next Clarkson. Better to go early than to go late.

But as for Gus and Gawny, I love the podcast (never miss a non-Shapes related episode).

Goodwin very effusive in his praise of the leaders - and included the two with the podcast named after them.

Also Viney is his favourite on field player.

I think that is quite revealing, and should make many on here stop and think about some of the nonsense they send Jacks way.

And love is also blind many people cannot see past it either.

Goody's son Eddie sounds like a crack-up. They should get him on sometime

Great interview and great questions as well. It all comes across as honest and authentic. I admit I wasn't a fan of the podcast early days, i just wanted the boys to focus on the footy but i can see its value now. I think Maxy and Gus do a great job representing the club and are a great reflection of the culture that has been built over the last few years.

I think particularly if we happen to have more success this season (not saying anything to jinx it) i think he would be hilarious to have on. Good to hear he’s a demon, I know this is mentioned at times but jeez it must be tough for family to hear their parents get potted (put mildly) in the media and by fans. I just think back to that joke pic last season of the locked down Melbourne council flat that had the paper rewritten to say “Sack Goodwin”. 

It was a fun little interview, Langdon is clearly held in super high regard by the club as is Viney. Funny to think that people though he a Goody had a falling out following his demotion from captain, but any fan opinions that Jack shouldn’t be picked are obviously way off the mark within the club.

I never fail to miss an episode, Goody was a great guest and seems to have great rapport with the players. 

"Never fail to miss". Ok you got me, what does that mean? Hang on, double and triple negatives get my neurons firing. You intentionally don't listen? Am I  correct? Or for you, am I not right? 🙂

Yeah, not my finest grammatical outing, I have listened to every episode was the idea. 

I've done a real Glenn Maxwell leaving that straight onto the stumps.

I know people say that about Viney often, but jeez they will always be some of the worst takes made on here. Go to bed mate.

Thought this was a forum where people can have a view not just a site for people who only agree with each other and have a love fest, you have your view i have mine maybe your a up bit late, maybe you have a bex and go nigh nigh.

Coaches opinion who watches hours of tape outweighs yours I'm afraid.

just don't think much of him as a footballer 

Outside of a handful of Demonlanders, it's not a view shared by anyone in the football world. 

I've never seen a single criticism by anyone of note that Viney's a limited player, or over-rated, or a one-dimensional 'rugby player'. Not once. 

I do, however, remember when our preliminary final opponent - ie a good club - tried to poach him not that long ago. 

He's played under 3 coaches (Neeld for just his debut year) One coach gave him a b&f. The other has him finishing 2nd or 3rd in every year since, bar one when he was injured. 

That's a lot of people supposedly 'blinded by love'.

Thought the coaches were at the ground when they played guess I was wrong, they only watch tapes now, again this is a forum so people can have their opinion that's all it is.

Goodwin was so different on the pod. Easy to see why the boys love him. He’s so robotic in the media. Doesn’t give much away but never inspired me with confidence. 
 

I’ve always been on the fence, never even opened the “is he the right guy” thread. But this podcast was a good insight.

Never once have I heard from anyone that Viney is a skilfull, damaging footballer who open a game up, dangerous midfielder who kicks clutch goals at important times, a player with good vision, 40 goals in nine years and all they say is loves tackling and is hard at it, wow after 9 years thats it.

On the B&F the coach did not give him the win, voting is done by the match committee that was in 2016, Clayton Oliver has won two in six seasons compared to 9 seasons for Viney I know which footballer I would pick first.

Just because a club tried to poach a player means squat we have gone after other players as well from other clubs.

Again I don't hate the man I just reckon he is a limited football just as others say things about Smith, Hibbo, Milkshake etc we all have our opinions, good on him if we snag the Premiership because he does love the club and does give it his all no doubt about it.

    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
