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.

Adobe has a lot to answer for. A Flashy website is not necessarily a superior one. Whilst more colourful than its predecessor it is perhaps even more inept. Probably a lot of footy fans would be happy with a straight text presentation but of course this would preclude advertising options. Heaven forbid.

Flash should be wiped from the face of the Earth!

Its a right pain for me to read the site at work - our network is (rightly) controlled and so without the latest flash player you end up with half a site.

I know that if they had the option (which of course they don't, progress and all that) i'd be sticking with the text only version.. if only for the reason that we'd created a spreadsheet in excel that would download the stats page and you'd have up to date fantasy footy scores!

Is there a web award for bad? The AFL must have a large team working on their web site because 1 person just could not do it so badly. A visit to this site is just about a guarantee of a bad mood. To call this site useless would be flattering it. I would rate it 2nd only to today’s umpiring.

I hate the AFL site. Took 20 seconds to load and im on broadband. Really sucks. I like their game day live but everything else is hard to navigate and slow as hell.

the site is practically unloading if your on dial-up. When I go to my cousins place at Torquey, which is often, he has dial-up and you're waiting about 10 minutes for it to load fully. Even on dial-up, thats shocking.

The site is crap. It's hard to navigate your way around it and some of the features are almost impossible to find. Not very user friendly.

Adobe don't have anything to answer for. Flash is just one of their products, they don't force people to use it. The AFL and the crew they contracted to develop their site (Telstra) are the ones who have a lot to answer for. The current AFL website stinks.

I don't understand why a footballer can be nicknamed after computer software.

It is Adobe who put the figurative loaded gun in the hands of so many fools. Of course I don't imagine that the company would have envisaged the creation of aberrations such as the AFL site. It's a lot like Frankenstein and his monster. Sites like Youtube are already choking the internet with absolute rubbish.

We should ask ourselves "How would the AFL website be without Flash Animation?"

The flash explosion didn't really happen until about 18 months ago. It was about that time when Macromedia Flash sold out to Adobe. Is it just possible that during the period of which I speak various professional webmasters have been copping freebies? So I admit hat it's actually Macromedia which has lot to answer for. The software facilitates irresponsible and thoughtless web design.

    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
