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.


REVEREND ON THE FOOTY SHOW AFTER THE BREAK!!

Not a whole lot new there. He's gotten to be even better than Sheedy at deflecting unwanted attention. Brownie, JB and Newman were quick to say how well regarded he is by the players. Couldn't help but feel a bit bad after they said that. But only for a second.

Said Sylvia pulled up a bit sore, Pickett will play a full game this week, and Riv has a sore hammy.

what did you expect.. he was there mainly in the context of the coaches assoc. ..that...and what is he going to do...even if he did have any real surprises he's hardly likely to let anything out of the bag.

just another affable display by the likeable coach

( effective NO...likeable yes )

Sylvia seems to be flying under the radar at present.....they are keeping the wraps on this guy.

Agree..Sore ?? what multitude of physical deficiencies is this meant to cover ?

Is that like the guy who said...honeslty officer i tripped and fell...then stumbled into the door ?

Yeah......it's hard not to like Daniher isn't it?

He seems like such a top bloke!

Easy to lynch him on a website, but I feel for Gardner or whoever it is that has to swing the axe should it eventuate.

Sore? well when the the kid has been battling OP for the last 2 years when he pulls up sore during his bid to get back to fitness OBVIOUSLY the thing to do is rest him....NOT play through it because then it continues to get worse and it lingers on to next year to!

Let Sylvia take all the time he needs to get himself right...

So given he's hardly likely to let anything out of the bag and he was there mainly in the context of the coaches association why wasn't it effective?

I recorded the footy last night, and i am watching the tape

A second too long dappa.

Balme was well liked too...even by the one and only Garry the great- hmmm. ..infact so much so Lyon hurled a major league hissy when Neil's head rolled from the block straight to the basket. But the meat in the sandwich here is simply that he could not coach!

Who the hell are JB and Brown to the Mfc anyway? and what would they know? and I doubt Newman would bag the Rev straight to his face.

Save for mediocrity, there is no room for soft heads and warm hearts in this caper.

Of course.

But even you must have a tinge of sadness should ND get the sack and disappear from our screens. At least he has a personality, and knows how to handle the media and what they're for.

That said, I'll be the first to wave goodbye if we get a decent premiership coach hungry to have a crack at this list.

Farnkly, I don't think he handles the media at all well.

But yes Dappa , I'll join you in the ticker tape parade should the day come. ;)

im a bit sore, but i'd play this week if they wanted me too...i think the word sore needs to be replaced with slight strain whereever possible when describing footy injuries...

Not only is that amusing...but you'd probably stand a chance of being selected if you were listed with MFC.

Also of concern was the Craig Hutchinson story with Russell Robertson in relation to his knee injury.

6 weeks was absolute best case scenario, but 8 weeks was likely, with 10 weeks being the worst.

It is obviously more severe than first thought.

Which begs the question as to why he was allowed to return to the field again after the initial injury???

Things just keep getting better.

These things have a habit of hurting short term but strengthening long term, by way of getting games into the up'n'comers. Next week I would hope for the inclusions of Sylvia to play a forward role with Dunny & Pickett also returning to stiffen our resolve.

I have never believed that we're ready for a flag in '07, but to make top 4 or 5.

But '08 has always been the year I think suits our list the most, then '10/'11.

    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
