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.

Part Three - HIGH ANXIETY 

The weekend that sits in the days before the end of the AFL’s trade period is often looked upon as being the perfect calm before the storm. We’ve seen the free agency period come and go in unspectacular fashion with relatively few players changing clubs and the trades thus far have similarly made very few waves. In fact, they’ve caused barely a ripple although the various media have been full of speculation about who might eventually trade places.

As usual, the really big trades are still to be finalized and it’s likely there will be some tension and anxiety surrounding them before the clock ticks past 7.30pm this coming Wednesday to signal the official end of the AFL Trade Period. 

The stand offs as to the value of Luke Jackson and Brodie Grundy continue and Toby Bedford’s deal remains in limbo but the draft experts keep assuring us that their trades will be finalized in the coming days.

Aside from the trades involving Melbourne, the Jason Horne-Francis and Josh Dunkley moves have created the most consternation, the Gold Coast salary dump and gifting of Draft Pick 7 and Jack Bowes is apparently waiting on a direction or blessing from the AFL hierarchy. The Izak Rankine and Ollie Henry deals will get done as the clubs involved will eventually see sense. There will no doubt be a few more pick swaps and other player movements in play and even a surprise or two before it’s all over.

It’s worth remembering that the trade period is part of a process that deals with the end of careers for players and in some cases, a change in the direction of their careers. And, of course, with so much emphasis on draft picks during the period, it’s also about the start of many playing careers in the AFL.

To this end, Monday morning will also see the opening of nominations for the AFL National Draft to be held over two nights on 28 and 29 November with the Preseason and Rookie Drafts to follow.

The vibe I’m receiving around the coming draft is that beyond the first couple of picks, it’s an even field right into the teens up to the end of the first round. If that’s the case, then some of the decisions about to be made surrounding the contentious trades might not necessarily be the cause of too much anxiety in the end.

    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
