  • 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.

There'll be a defening silence from a lot of people on here about Yze's game today.

He tackled, he chased, he used some footy smarts at times and he played a solid consistant game.

The knockers will say that's his first for a few years - hey... at least he's got one more than a number of other blokes on the list

Did very well today, i am glad he was dropped (thus ending his record) because it puts him on notice that sub-standard games won't be tolerated. Good on him though, and that goal was nothing short of phenomenal!

Yep, terrific game from Yze today. And just for your information "BrownlowBruce", Yze asked to be left out of the side, he wasn't actually dropped. Get your facts right before insulting the match committee.

I thought his tackling, attitude and finishing was first rate today. Our best.

Actually i think he just told Neale not to hesitate about the record, that he knew his form was off and he will not complain if left out of the side. I don't believe he actually ASKED to be dropped.

Yes, he asked to be left out of the side. It was reported in all papers and websites.

Maybe i read different papers, cos i only read he told Neale not to hesitate before dropping him. Have known to be wrong though, besides i think the point is he recognized that his from was off and was lacking in confidence. Rather than pleading to Neale to give him another chance, he accepted responsibility and was willing to work hard to get back.

I'll agree to disagree if you will :lol: . You are spot on, the fact is that he spoke up about his form and accepted it, without feeling sorry for himself. I was a little frustrated with "BrownlowBruce" for abusing the match committee on a fact he clearly knows little about.

wat a load of CRAP.......

if it wasnt for STUPID supporters ..... who .... put the heat on him.... he would have never asked to be dropped..... now i know the facts.... i do read.... and i dont think an AFL player would asked to be dropped 2 games into a season because he feels he needs be especially a player of his standard........ CLEARLY a peer pressure type effect was put on him..... and to think it was all based on his decision would be utter garbage.....

Well done Yze..... ...

how long to they get on ur back again tho?

oooh yerrr .... wat a super star.... robbed of HIS record by idiots....

That's just it Hards, for a senior player his efforts like this are far too inconsistent, if he played like this more often then people wouldn't post negative things about him. My personal opinion is that the consequetive game record was a major issue for him and Daniher, now that it's gone he's free to play his natural game.

Spot on.

He was fantastic today, but people are kidding themselves calling him a 'champion' and has been poor up till today for a long time.

I'd love nothing more than to see him play well, but it is very disappointing when a player of his talent is soft and lazy.

You know what the next six weeks will show me.

They'll show me what players when your backs are against the wall, who wants to play for the MFC. With the stars not there to make a player look good, who wants to step up. Yze stepped up today and stated that he wanted to be there. Lets hope he can keep it up for the next six weeks.

Well actually he has played like this incredibly often in his career, which makes it hard to cop the persistent derision he recieves in favour of unproven, anonymous, young buzz players.

Best game ooze has played for years. I have never seen him put in 2nd, 3rd and 4th efforts the way he did today. I have never seen him so exhausted that he cant run anymore. Today i swear today he looked like he was gonna chuck a couple times such was the effort he was putting in.

Please do it next week adem, it was fantastic to see.

Good game today, no doubt. However, one game don't maketh a season.

Where you stand on Yze might have a little to do with whether you're as good as your last game or whether form in the last couple of years counts for more =)

I like to see Yze out there (and doing well), but I can also see why people have become pretty frustrated.

Jesus H. Christ... Give me strength.

Do you really think Yze, or any self respecting league footballer could give a stuff what supporters think? He has a job to do, and the MEDIA attention was what he claimed got him down.

He had suffered from PEER pressure from his mates, who he was denying a spot, from him betters and bosses and from the all-important media... But that had NOTHINg to do with his record. He wasn't playing good footy, and he was still being selected because of it. This peer pressure is what brought this to his attention. Had he been a normal player in the middle of his career, he would have just gone with the flow, and ND would have dropped him far sooner. The RECORD is the offending variable here. Not the fans, not the coach and not Ooze. If it weren't for the damn consecutive games hullabaloo the media would have been EVEN MORE on his case about his bad form, becuase there would have been less cause to play him!

Open your eyes... both of them.

    LEADERS OF THE PACK by The Oracle

    I was asked to write a preview of this week’s Round 8 match between Melbourne and Geelong. The two clubs have a history that goes right back to the time when the game was starting to become an organised sport but it’s the present that makes the task of previewing this contest so interesting. Both clubs recently reached the pinnacle of the competition winning premiership flags in 2021 and 2022 respectively, but before the start of this season, many good judges felt their time had passed - n

He is is starting to get into some sprints. I cannot see Andy Moniz-Wakefield out there. Jack Viney and Kade Chandler have broken away from the

    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
