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.

Goodwin, Jackson, Pickett, Sparrow, Petty & Neal-Bullen All Out with COVID

With all the depth on our coaching panel, it's going to be hard for Goodwin to break back in to the senior post. It's exactly like Hunt/Bowey late last year.

Send Goody to coach the Casey Demons for a couple of weeks until he regains form.

Firstly, I hope Goodwin recovers quickly and isn't too unwell during his period of infection. I also hope that he discovered it early and didn't spread Covid within the team.

As a matter of interest, with Goodwin sidelined, does the win/loss result against Hawthorn added to Goodwin's coaching record? Or Yze's? I could see arguments both ways, given that coaching is not just a 3 hour job once a week, but what's the standard that's being used?

Great opportunity for Yze.

I would hate to lose him, but at the same time I would be bloody happy if he was able to snag a senior coaching gig in the next year or two.

Bloke deserves it and is one of the best midfield coach and game day tactician going around in the AFL.

We're one of the best placed teams to cover this kind of thing IMO. Goody and Yze are very much a team rather than boss and assistant. Also a great run for Yze who I reckon will be coaching either Port or GWS next year.

 

Wouldn't it be better for MFC that Yze stays within the organisation and becomes Goodwin's replacement in 4/5 years?

Absolutely, but Yze is very keen on a senior gig and is ready for one now. I would love that scenario, but I can't see him waiting that long tbh.

Way of the world these days.

Wonderful thing about our club is the system we've built both on the field and in the coaches box is firing on all cylinders at the moment.

Will be a bit of extra press for this game now with Yze going up against his old club.

If we get a good win (pardon the pun) will the footy shows next week start talking up Ooze as  a possible coach in waiting for 2023?

 

...and before anyone says anything, yes i need to update my profile name. :)

Agree Roy11 it may just provide that extra edge against the Hawkes and it looks like it is going to be a very wet encounter. I am out of isolation today and looking forward to seeing how Yze (one of my all time favourites) clinches our 7th on the trot. Good luck Adem and good luck Simon, try and take it easy.

i reckon choco or richo will take over boundary line responsibilities. Yze will stay in the box as the tactical master mind. 

 

We even have quality depth in the coaching ranks... how good is this.

Doubt it.  We already have Williams there who can fill in for Goodwin and let Yze what he does best in the box.

Fingers crossed we don't have a more widespread issue with COVID this week or next given Goody could well be a close contact for the whole playing group.

I like that Yze has been the eyes of the operation from the coaching box - not much will need to change I wouldn't have thought, we'd just be missing Goody's clear messaging from the sideline.

In Victoria 'close contacts' no longer need to isolate so players are safe unless they get it.

Yep great system... that was on the cards when football coaches came out and insisted that was best practise for the minority of the population who follow AFL

I don't recall Brett Sutton's advice and clearly a November election is irrelevant as a consideration.

I hope the crowd gets massively behind Adem and when he walks out onto the ground there’s a big “oooooooze” from the MCC. 

Get well soon Goody, hope he can kinda take this as a bit of a break. If anyone deserves it it’s him!

    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
