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.

I went by at 9.30 am, no one there.

Good chance they had a run at 11.30.(Monday) on Gosch's, which I couldn't make.

If we win Friday, I'll give it another go and try and catch them with a report next week.

They will probably have their main session down at Casey on Wednesday morning. 

They have an open training Thursday on Gosch's, the same as last week with all the activities. (More info on the MFC website, in the "finals hub" section)

Saw some footage of training on the nightly news. I think it was on Nine. Amusingly, the reporter breathlessly told us that Spargo was still unable to talk due to his larynx injury...while the footage showed him walking laps with Fritsch AND TALKING.

Kev, any chance you could drive a few tractors onto the Casey oval and prevent any sort of serious match simulation hit out tomorrow!?

Thanks in anticipation

Yes same as last week from 9 to 11.

Wouldnt call it training though.  Its more for the fans and the boys to fine tune a bit i guess.  They do a little dozy doeing at goal, handball drills etc.

Nonetheless its a fun morning if Melb puts on a decent day weather wise.  Highly recommended

Would like to see them take it on up the middle effectively. They need the practice. 

Maybe just dig around the boundaries and in particular the forward pockets.

Yes to up the middle if the opportunity arises Kev but depends on who's doing the passing.

I don't think Max should be attempting those too often, especially around HB.  Inside 50 maybe a diff matter.

We need to practice taking it on, including Max.

Drag the oppo to the boundary and leave some of us by themselves in the corridors. 

Get them before they transition to the defensive structure. 

Have or create corridors, when we cause turnovers. 

Kick to leads and not regularly to the contested boundary side pack.

I'm sure they do that stuff, but recently we have not been executing it well and our main playing style has been about safety. 

We need practice and continual repetition till we get the timing and positions right, as well as seeing and assessing the risks correctly.

C’mon over to Gosch’s this morning y’all!

We’re firing up the barbie. Snag in bread only sets you back $2.50. And $4 for a snag in bread and a soft drink. Prehistoric prices!

Don’t make me take 72 sausages home to my son again. He’s still not talking to me from last week’s haul. 
Hashtag Sausages every night = Nope

It's pissing down rain at The Manor WCW. What's it like at Gosch's?

Just starting to spit a little now. But it doesn’t look as though it’ll persist. Not windy, which is good. 
Since I’m not Jane Bunn that’ll have to do.

Free or not he whinges about having sausages for breakfast, lunch and dinner for a month. Ungrateful little sh*it.

    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
