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.

Hi everyone,

We have been trying to organise a meeting with

Clint Bartram, which will also serve to kick-start our season for 2007.

We have a history of winning after these events, so we thought now was

the best time......

Anyhow, we have contacted the club and are trying to organise a get

together this Sunday at 12.00 at the Mountain View Hotel, Bridge Road

Richmond. ( upstairs bar )

Problem is that Clint has gone home for a couple of days to Geelong, and

the club will not be in contact with him until Friday.

So at this point we are asking that everyone "pencil in" this as a

meeting, and we will have a definitive answer on Friday, when I will

e-mail everyone who has signed up to date.

For those yet to sign up for the 2007 sponsorship, this will be the last

opportunity, so hope to see you there.

Tim....could you let Bernie know about this....thank you

I just want to add my voice of support for the Demonland/Demonology Sponsorship and encourage supporters to come along and join us tomorrow at the Mountain View Hotel at 70 Bridge Road Richmond at noon tomorrow to meet Clint Bartram. The Hotel has set aside a special upstairs section where we can conduct the meeting. Food and drink can be purchased at the pub.

We have been sponsoring players for about six years now and our efforts have contributed thousands of dollars to the club. We generally pick younger players to sponsor in the hope that we can encourage their careers along but we really struck the jackpot with Clint who was drafted at #60 in the 2005 National Draft. The problem (from our point of view) was that Clint's career took off so quickly that we didn't have the benefit of an appearance from him at any of our 2006 functions because while we were swanning along at the Mountain View or watching prospective draft recruits at Optus Oval with Craig Cameron, Clint was preparing for AFL action with the rest of the team.

Tomorrow, Clint will be available to talk to the group for the first time so I'm looking forward to it very much (although I'm also looking forward to him making a speedy recovery so he can be back in action helping his team move up the ladder). Those who come along will get a chance to ask questions, get autgraphs and have their pictures taken and then at a little after 1.30pm we can all march off to the G where we can get a traditional taste of a Melbourne victory.

It may be co-incidence but every time we have one of our functions the Demons do the right thing by us and give the opposition a right royal flogging. I know I got "egg on my face" when I incorerctly tipped Melbourne to win against the Sawns last week but I've got this feeling ...

Sponsorship costs $110.00 for the year and arrangements can be amde for drip feed payment for those who are short of cash.

Hope to see you there ....

Just a bit of a bump up here and also thanks to George on the Outer for his work in organising the D/D Sponsorship.

Thoroughly enjoyed my first function and Clint Bartram was an excellent ambassador for the club.

Pity we lost the game afterwards but I have a feeling that the result might have been different with our sponsored player and a few other injured players in the team.

    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
