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.


What's next for Adem Yze?

Yze deserves his shot, and it might be nice to have some fresh blood in the coaching department. Our boys are maturing as a group and new energy might be helpful.

I don’t think it’s all doom and gloom. It’s actually helping solidify to the players that we are doing a lot right.

Gut feel is Clarko will go to North, simply because he has a past connection there and they're Melbourne based. 

Giants i think will go with one of Kingsley or Yze. 

If Yze goes, we need to headhunt the best midfield coach we can find, he's played a massive role for us. I don't hate the idea of James Hird as an assistant. i understand the negative drug saga side of it, but he's a brilliant football mind, a legend of the game and someone who'd walk in and have the respect of the players from day 1. 

Hird and respect…..hahaha

If we lose Uze for a senior position elsewhere.  Should we look at Hinkley if sacked.  Can't believe Port fans want him out,  he has made 3 prelims and lost a couple by under a couple of kicks.

Other one I think would be a great [censored] coach is Leon Cameron.

Thoughts?

Garry Lyon saying on SEN this morning he's expecting coaching announcements this week, maybe even one today. He'd know both Clarko and Yze so could be either, but wonder if it could be Yze so that it's announced before finals to try and minimize the impact on our team? (He'll be staying on for finals even if appointed apparently)

Tricky situation for Yze to go in as kind of the "next best option" if the reports that Clarko is the GWS first choice.  Second best to Clarko is still a big deal, but if/when results aren't coming, will GWS be patient or does it come in play?

I can see Clarko being announced at North this week, really hope we at least get one of Yze or Chocco for another year. 

I have no knowledge of the inner sanctum but haven't really heard much about Chocco this year.

Does anyone know if he is still having an impact or has the novelty worn off?

I'm not sure his record stacks up.  41W-1D-42L at 49.4%

Laidley and Brad Scott had better records at North.

GWS were 'blown away' by Yze according to Jon Ralph, and apparently they never really went hard for Clarko.

Yze is very very ready to be a senior coach and IMO will do great things at GWS. He's been huge for Melbourne.

I liked that Ralph said Melbourne have already told him he is required to the end of the year regardless of what he’s doing next year. 

It seems like a mature, well rounded way to handle it. He’s done a lot of work and he deserves to see it through.

I’m with you on that but it would be awkward for Goody as he was his assistant wasn’t he?

Fingers crossed he gets a gig in one of the spots. Will make a fantastic senior coach. All the best to him (except for playing against us of course)

Will be hard to replace as a senior assistant as he runs the coach's box on match day with Goody at ground level. Need to find someone with that level ability and trust with Goody (and choco if he stays) - Leon Cameron might fit the bill there and relish being a senior assistant just out of the spotlight enoughbut close enough to it

Wouldn't suit our culture at all. We have a pretty measured, calm, balanced coaching group (even Choco is pretty chill these days), and Cameron is all yelling and negative energy. Big no from me.

That’s him in the hot seat. The  hot seat has way different levels of pressure and anxiety to release than the not quite so hot seat. 
he will be in a very different head space and can go back to what got him the senior gig to begin with - having Goody and Chocco deal with the pressure cooker environment would allow anyone be their best as a coach/strategist and Leon was pretty good at it as a player and especially earlier in his coaching career

The Hird rumour must be a pisstake surely.    I didn't think anything could take away my passion for the MFC and football until now.  If they bring him in then I'm out.

    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
