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.


GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs Fremantle



Recommended Posts

Well this is the most nervous I have been on a game day for a while, not necessarily because of Fremantle but I am a little superstitious and this is my first game since pre covid. If we lose it may well be my only game for the year.

Nice work WCW

what happens to banners after they are used?

have a feeling this one might end up at your house? Imagine having it in your driveway and driving through it everyday 😂

Unfortunately, once used, the banners are scrapped. Not able to be recycled since sticky taped crepe paper. 
With milestone ones such as today’s the pic is saved in case the family of the milestone player wants it. Tmac’s dad jumped on the opportunity. He was v keen  to get this…

Now you’ve opened the floodgates, Dub. Ima tell y’all a story that’ll warm the cockles of your heart. (Be warned: I’ve had two large coffees and a 500ml can of Red Bull. There’s zero chance of shutting me up😁)

So, 

Hunty’s 100th game was our Anzac Eve game. The banner that week was already full of pre-planned content so unfortunately his milestone couldn’t be acknowledged. 

The Army decided to make his milestone banner the following week. It was decided it would be a surprise. Everyone but Jayden knew. Even his mum knew. 

So, on the day, the players all stopped at the banner and looked back at Jayden and Harmesy who were bringing up the rear. Jayden was looking towards the ground. Harmesy tapped his arm and pointed to the banner. Apparently the look on his face was priceless. And this is what he beheld…

His mum also took home the awesome pic.

This week my kids got selected to play Auskick at half time today! And I’ll be alongside them either as a goal umpire or ‘sign holder’ (whatever that means!). 
Not sure who’s more excited , me or the girls!

Let's get behind Melksham:  unforeseen-success-melksham-s-role-in-demons-rise

“I actually didn’t come to Melbourne for finals and flags and stuff like that,” he said....“The club was struggling – or hadn’t had much success...“It’s been awesome.”

While Melksham didn’t receive a premiership medallion in the Demons’ historic 2021 premiership, the role he played in getting the club there should never be underestimated.  And seeing some of his best mates achieve the ultimate is something he is incredibly proud of.

He has been very good for us, not great now but he was key when we needed some silk and experience while our now stars developed around him.  And have now overtaken him.  He should be praised for his role in their development and his role for us.

We are missing a handful of our best, which brings the two teams closer together, but I expect our system to prevail.  
Dees by around 5 goals, I reckon.
I’d love to see a significant improvement in our forward half connections and goal kicking accuracy.

Excited to see us put another team of pretenders to the sword. Had a quick word to the big fella this morning and he tells me it's "...in the bag!"

Don’t you mean the big lady Rev! I hope you are right I am off to the game this afternoon. I think we will miss Langdon , him and Tmac out levels the field a lot.

I am hoping Milkshake puts in a big one for his 200th.

Could not agree more he is still one of the best kicks at the club.

i was one of those anti-milkshake haters during his first season with us

but it was when he was shifted from half-back to half-forward that i became a HUGE fan - think it was defensive effort on jj in the game in which lever did his knee at the docklands carpark that made me admire his workrate, and the goal off two steps in the final vs hawthorn that made me love him

hope he has a ripsnorter today

Freo are a low scoring team as it is so I don’t see them kicking a winning score against us

Our superior talent and forward options to get us through in a low scoring, dour defensive affair

Dees by 25 points

    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
