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.

Even after all that has happened and an 0-3 start, I'll still be there next Sunday...

Wow that's wrong with our supporters, if things aren't going right for us, they boycott the team...

Its fans like you that seem to revel in the club performing poorly. "Oh, the team is playing badly, so I'm not gonna go. They can bugger off". That is fair weather supporting, and it stinks. If you support a club, and indeed are a member of them, you turn up to their games and scream your support for them. Anything less is criminal, no matter what the state of the team.

Ill be there

backs to the wall stuff..

and our first win of the season coming up

thats exactly right......

I think a few of you members in Victoria take going to most games for granted - win, lose or draw! What about us up here in QLD who get to see the boys once or maybe twice a year? I'd kill to see all the games at the G or anywhere else in Melbourne! Get to the ground and get the boys home for their first win! Someone needs to stay on board! I know I will!

I'll be there, i consider myself a tragic supporter who just comes back for more. But mostly i think about how i stuck with them through the times of 97, 99, 01, and 03 :( and although i don't think it made a huge difference on the field, i know they must've appreciated any support they could get.

NO Headland, no Carr - starting to balance up - we just need a severe bout of gastro to go through the Dockers and we will be right!!!!!

If we can't win this week - remember the Saints made the GF after being zip and 4 in '97 - oh, but then they lost to the Crows........:-(

But when will the ultimate good come around to us!?

As you say though, you can have good without the bad, hopefully the good won't be too far away.

Go hard or go home. I am one to not lie. I could have said "oh course im going" but i remain truthfull. I am guttered with the team and offered to go if i see some young kids but playing players out of form is just sheer stupidity and i will not stand for it as a supporter. I have paid for my membership so melb have lost nothin...i guess spotless catering have but thats it. Im no different to thoes who leave at half time and trust me many did on sunday. I like 1.5 hrs from the g so get over yourself and realise i am a supporter - both finantually and non financially

Oh and one more thing. At least im not attacking a 2nd AFL year player in Bate. Get over yourself

l love the club and l will be their .

just sit back and wait their is light a the end of the tunnel.

Count me in too....same area ...Redlegs level 1 behind the goals.

Did I hit a nerve?

Two things -

1. Not having a go at you personally, apologise if I insinuated that. But your point about the fact that the club loses nothing by your not being there is a mute point. If 5,000 supporters share your attitude, then the club loses support on the day. Imagine you play your heart out for the team, and look around the ground and see 15,000 instead of 20,000. It makes a difference. Your policy on the young kids is another silly point. The season is not lost at 0-3 as we saw last year. To call for the team to just give up at this stage of the year is wrong.

2. I have never "attacked" Matty Bate. I stated that his confidence seems to be down and that his form probably doesn't warrant him being in the team. I don't think too many people would disagree with that.

I can't believe you guys are even debating on being there or not.....they are our team and we as supporters have a duty to support them through each of the hurdles and also the joys of victory. I can tell you I have sat through much worse in the years 1996 and 1997....try fighting off a merger....losing match after match....

I'll be there on sunday as I have been for many years. It's just a mattar of time before we notch up our first win and charge towards the top end of the table.

I think we'll turn it around on Sunday....C'mon guys, get there and support these guys.

Go Dees.

One of the great stupid posts. Well done Boy, and 'boy' is the key word.

Grow up. We're all disappointed with what's happened but what's the point of your post?

Have you actually got anything constructive to say or do you simply want to see your name in lights and get responses from more informed posters than yourself.

Until you make an observation worth considering your opinion is fool's gold and a waste of cyber space.

Yep I'll be there too! Life is not just about choosing the good times but walking the journey through the ups and downs. True blue!

Mind you it does feel good when we win and an empty feeling when we lose. I see my role as a supporter is to be there for the team- the support crew in the outer.

    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
