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.

Apparently someone has Brocken into Cox's apartment and stolen his goggles !!!!!!!

Classic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Surely they’ll just need to look at their membership database to find the culprit 😏

He certainly a different cat big Cox - certainly super nice and engaging to talk to away from footy.

unfortunately everyone from every club gets stuck into Max - knees to the guts, off ball blocks, shoves and very rarely gets gets any umpire protection. What annoys me more is our players don’t seem to notice it just like the umps, I think it’s Max just gets up and goes along like nothing happened. If he was my teammate I’d be flying the flag and getting stuck into anyone that touches him. We don’t and it’s a blight on us 

Any x  Ruckman would notice just how much crap Max has to put up with, and Cox's idea about going in sideways with your knees out in front of you doesn't seem to catch the ire of maggots either. The advantage in Max is his height/physique, what is he expected to do, stoop down to the same height?

These people actually adjudicate the game, yet they seem to be happy to bring shame on the game by penalizing continuously  ball players, and which cannot be said for opposition that target quite openly special players.

There was another earlier in the year against the Lions that was the crudest one I've seen.
Looked like he was flying through the air with some Kung Fu Matrix move with the sole intent to drive his knee into the opponents back.
Funnily enough I couldn't find any vision but here's what I did find.
King and Cornes discussing the incident.

 

Collingwood tall Mason Cox has also come under fire for planting his knee into the back of Brisbane defender Brandon Starcevich.

Cornes says Cox’s “crude” act is a “reportable offence” that should be looked at by Match Review Officer Michael Christian.

“I thought that was deliberate, I thought it was late and when we’re looking at the ability to cause a significant kidney injury or a fracture of the back, that was that,” he said.

“This guy is a weapon out there – he’s 211cm with a pointy knee driving it into the back of an opponent who is helpless who’s done the right thing to go back with the flight of the ball, all the things we love about the sport.

“He’s got there really late with a knee, he’s lucky that there was no damage done. It has to be (a reportable offence).

“It’s every bit worse than what Gardiner did and it was one of the most crude things I’ve seen on the footy field this year – late, deliberate, aggressive and the ability to cause significant harm.

“I reckon he’ll get a fine, that’s what I’m nervous about, and I think Gardiner will get a fine too. I’m usually on the players’ side, I lean to the players because I understand how difficult this game is to play … I’m not leaning with the players on either of these.

“I hope they get one week and I wouldn’t be upset, particularly with Mason Cox, if he got two.

King also weighed in on the Cox incident: “This is a man who couldn’t mark the ball on this occasion, the ball was dropping ahead of him getting to the contest.

“He doesn’t even compete with his arms, he gives up with his hands, he’s not marking the ball, but still chooses to stay angular with his knee and he knows he’s going to make significant trauma to the ribcage of his opponent.

“This is if not one week, it is more.”

    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
