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.

In a time when we can’t buy goals, Melksham kicks four and he isn’t top vote getter for everyone?

I love Petty but come on, people.

Was the difference

Bit mystified by the praise heaped on Petty. May was much better. And I thought Gawn was outstanding. Brayshaw had a heap of disposals, but many of them were terrible.

 

I watched the replay this morning because I thought I must have missed something about Petty's game watching from the lower level of seating last night. But no, nothing changed. I saw a serviceable game, nothing more. Petty gave away three unnecessary free kicks (a quarter of Carlton's total received). He has a bad habit of pushing his opponent in the back when caught behind (see the Pies' crucial last goal last week). Yes, he saved a couple of goals, but isn't that a defender's role? Agree that May's game was far superior. Curnow's lack of influence had more to do with Carlton's delivery (or lack thereof) to him. It seems to me that many people casting votes here are influenced by the TV commentary rather than using their own eyes..

Adjudication;

Despite the disparity of free kicks. forward fifty free kicks favoured the Blues. These are 'gold tickets' in close games. Fortunately Carlton's forwards couldn't  deliver.

Broadcasters;

Back to plan B contenders triumph pretenders sent packing.

Cathartic and season defining

A fair take. I hadn’t heard the TV commentary when I did my votes and maybe had him a little high but I had really liked the way he played Curnow on the night. I watched it again and agree disposal to him wasn’t flash but Petty had the aerobic capacity to go with Curnow and to hold a guy leading the Coleman to 1 goal and 1 inside 50 mark wasn’t a bad effort. 

Thought some of the frees that went against him were brutal as well.

Confident that this will be the finishing order in our B&F 

though Max missing games may drop him down 

May might get #5 which would be a good reward for another very good year imv

Can I give all 21 to Melky. He actually kicked 5 goals if the BB out of bounds wasn't called and he made the tackle on Silvagni at the death which should have been holding the ball, and was every time against us in the same part of the ground the week before. Should have been 6 goals including the sealer.

… and we shouldn’t forget who fed the ball out to Kozzy which resulted in THAT goal. 👍🏽

4 votes for Salem is a big standout here. And before everyone reminds me of his injury and missing games, 4 votes is still a massively understanding for a man of his capability. Hoping he can find some late form.

    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
