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.

Ta. Post duly fixed!

As an aside, and at the risk of derailing the koz fest, outside of dees supports, is Fritter the most under rated player in the AFL?

A relatively comparable player role wise is Jemery Cameron.

Cameron is an undisputed star, and his numbers this season are unbelievable. I'm not saying Fritter is better, or even as good as Cameron.

Rather, i'm using Cameron as a benchmark for Fritter. And when you compare their career stats , Fritter doesn't lose too much by way of comparison (its worth noting that Fritter played a big chunk of i think 2019 in defence):

Simple answer is yes. He’s completely underrated and is in the top 6 best forwards in the game for mine. 
I have only Cameron and Curnow ahead of him so far this season.

Kossi is elite - his delivery into the fwd line is first class. We are a significantly better team with him playing and I hope he is being handsomely rewarded for what he delivers.

I love the fact that MFC kept on saying that he will stay and some journo's saying he is gone, also the doom and gloom on this web site without a shred of evidence of him wanting to leave.

I guess LJ left a bad taste in the mouths of some supporters but he got so much cash that he could not turn it down in his home town.

I am overjoyed!!!!! Fly me to the moon!!! But make sure Im back to watch the mighty Demons. Reading Kozzie's comments about the deal shows what a sincere young man Kozzie is and how much the MFC means to him and his family.  An outstanding person as well as a footballer. Well done our football department and Mr Taylor take a bow!  Kozzie ,loved by his team mates and us supporters. What a way to start the day. Go DEMONS!!!!!!!

Now we can go to the G for the rest of the season and genuinely enjoy Kozzie's talents with the comfort of knowing that he's ours for many a year. 

The aplause that Kossie is going to get next time his name and number get called in the pre-game announcements is going to be huge.  Max won't get the biggest one, but I'd love to see his reaction to the applause for Kossie, because I recon he'd have the biggest ear to ear grin like all the rest of us red and blue true believers.

LOVE YOU KOSSIE ❤💙💙💙❤ forever!!

The Alice game will mean so much more now. Thank you, Kozzy. You make those kids so proud and happy. ❤️💙

Not sure the Alice game will go ahead, now that the Alice Springs Town Council have pulled all games from Traeger Park.

The talk all along has been that if they go ahead with that, then the AFL may pull our game from the Alice, and they doubled down on that threat last week  😢

KKP re-signs, AFL gets new CEO. Perfect storm for a backflip on that?

Huh?

When was he ever going to be a free agent soon? He won't be until this new 4 year deal is up.

SEN are hopeless with accuracy

That facepalm was for the media, not you. Seriously, what boofheads.

    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
