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.

James Harmes

Luke Jackson

Charlie Spargo

Ben Brown

Bayley Fritsch

Adjudication;

No real complaints. Charlie Dixon gets J C Williamson award for 'milking' a 50 metre penalty goal. "Hard" man with "soft" hands.

Broadcast;

Pleased to hear BT's repeated references to the 'Big Tree'  it is well on the way to being adopted as part of the AFL dreaming. Thank Jove the live ladder was dropped for the last quarter and FOX footy's  Kelly Underwood being 'anchored' in the South Yarra studio.

Opposition hyperbole watch;

Powell-Pepper sprayed the goal front like an old tom. Desperately needs the Kossie implant.

Overall comment;

Port have improved significantly since earlier in the season. Almost a full compliment of players many in good form. Provided a seriously competitive match. Hopefully our boys will be battle hardened by September. Moggies meanwhile are aging and getting it soft.

I'm staggered that everyone is rating Trac so high. Sometimes that clanger stat can be misleading, but not in this case. He had 10 and the rest of the team combined for 14. 

 

Think our expectations for Tracc are pretty high.

If Harmes, Sparrow, etc. got 30 possies with 17 contested, four centre clearances, nine score involvements, three goal assists and nearly 600 metres gained no one would hesitate giving them votes.

The clanger stat is always high for inside mids. The nature of having to get ball on boot in a hurry. With that said he still went at 83 percent disposal efficiency.

Apologies to Tomlinson.

Trac was BOG after Koz. 10 clearances, 3 assists. 17 contested. We don’t win without Trac today

…and yet you give Viney 5 votes? He was awful by foot today. Even by his standards.

If you think CP’s game was overrated fair enough but not a single vote? He had 17 contested possessions. 10 clearances to Viney’s 3. 9 score involvements. He topped Viney in basically every stat.

6 - Kozzie- exceptional game

5 - Tracc - a game winner at work

4 - Langdon - provided the out

3 - Jack - worked so hard under pressure 

2 - May - kept us in it early

1 - BBB - really got involved today

the 2 / 1 vote could have gone to Hibbo, Salem, Harmes, Sparrow, JJ or Thommo.

I'll confess that I have high standards of Trac, but there is something seriously wrong with his kicking. Included in your stat line of 9 score involvements and 83% disposal efficiency was a shank in the 2 qtr that barely went 25 metres but still ended up in a 2 on 1 our way, but only a point resulted. 

Offhand, Trac seemed to get a lot of possessions in the last qtr once the game was sealed.

Where did you see that clanger stat?

The AFL's website says that he had 4 clangers, not 10.

He led us for metres gained, was second only to Fritsch for score involvements, and was our leader for goal assists. He also had our fourth most pressure acts, meaning he added defence to that attack.

    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
