  • 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.

Another week where I feel sorry for Yze

Great game by Yze.... He deserves to finish his career with a few good seasons of consistent form.....

Todays game will be long remembered by Melbourne suporters as....

"The day Yze showed some heart - And delivered a piece of art!"

One of the best games Yze has played in a long time. Cannot be faulted on yesterdays effort.

38 disposals, not all of which were effective, but most were. 12 handballs. Doubt Yze has had even half that in any match in his career. Reason he had these handballs was because he was in the contests firing the ball off.

Here are the 2 important stats i like. Contested possession: 11. 11! Basically double anyone else in the side for the match.

Contested marks: 2. The entire side took 6 for the day, so he took a third of the entire teams contested marks.

Kicked a freak goal, and layed 6 tackles.

Bloody good game by Yze. Glad to see him earning his pay packet again in such spectacular fashion.

If he keeps up that kind of form, he will win the B&F and be All Australian again.

Man, we can only hope that he can keep up that kind of form (fingers crossed) :) ......

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.

Yes he has played match winning games against Richmond, Collingwood and the Dogs inthe past couple of years.

It'd be great if he can play like that against Sydney or Adelaide.

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.

He would still be sore after some of the hits he took. Got crunched right in front of me in the last quarter and took a while to get off his haunches and stand up. Yep, he sure busted a gut on Sunday.

The villain of the club, needed a post after such an excellent game

Save it would you, I'm rapt he put in such a good effort, but nothing more than we should expect from a senior player like him. He played quite a good game, but definately not what you would call an excellent game, he would need to add to the takles he made 2 to 3 goals to be considered an excellent game. This team is supposedly vying for top 4 @ the start of the season with hopes of a premiership in the very near future, if people think that was an excellent game for a top player, then we will NEVER win a FLAG...

pS : Thats his first good game since returning from Sandringham...

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.

Tess, this is one of the simplest & best posts I've read in some time... B)

Robert Flower played that standard & above each & every match, but when Barassi arrived at the club he turned into a half back flanker to help the team but also to improve his game by learning to be more accountable.

There's plenty Yze can still learn & improve himself with...

funny, the silence from u last week..

Hardly. what changed with Yze that we did not already know?

His good form in one game only illustrates the perennial cop out and downhill skier he has been in the previous 12 matches and often over the past 3 years.

With the way the club is going, effort on behalf of anyone especially a player like Yze should be applauded. Obviously if everyone was consistent every week we wouldnt be in this mess

Very good point your Highness.

A highly skilled and talented player who has not said peep for the past 16 matches he has played and also inconsistently over the past 3 years actually plays a good game and his supporters igorantly come out and say" that should silence his critics" and other says we should applaud it like manna from heaven.

His game against Freo only makes his other limp performances including last Saturday all the more embarrassing and highlight what a passenger he has become. Its been a progressive fall from marquee to marginal player.

I am gald he has learnt after 250+ games to lay a tackle because it's a last ditch effort from a player who can nno longer rely on his skills to cut corners.

    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

    Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin was on hand at Gosch's Paddock for Monday's training session and made the following observations.

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
