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.

May 2013, Peter Jackson is appointed as CEO and the long climb back begins.

By the end of that year Neeld was gone.  

Daniel Cross and Aidan Riley had arrived, and Colin Sylvia had departed all under free agency.

Dom Tyson, Bernie Vince and Viv Mitchie arrived during the trade period. I can’t believe we gave up pick 2, 20 and 72 for Tyson and picks 9 and 53.

Aaron Davey, David Rodan and Joel Macdonald retired, and James Sellar, Josh Tynan, Troy Davis, Tom Gillies, Tom Couch, James Magner, Nathan Stark Rory Taggert and Neville Jetta were all delisted.

The National draft saw Christian Salem (9), Jay Kennedy-Harris (40), Jaden Hunt (57) and Mitch Clisby (82) added to the list.

Ther Rookie draft saw James Harmes (2), Max King (19), Alexis Georgiou (35) and Neville Jetta (50) added as rookies.

Paul Roos is lured to the club by Jackson as senior couch to start the rebuild.

During that preseason a young fresh-faced Angus Brayshaw and Billy Stretch are invited to train with the club.

Christian Salem is now added to the list of only men still standing along with, Jack, T.Mac and the skipper.

It was a tough season which saw Melbourne finish 17th on the ladder with 4 wins and only ahead of St Kilda on percentage. The slow climb back had begun.

Enjoy.

PJ was the recruit of the year.  He put everything back on the rails, the football department and the admin and the Board.

Turned us back into a football club, properly run. 

Watch out for North Melbourne in the coming years ( it took us 8 to get back). 

PJ has done a review of their operations, Clarkson has been brought in as coach and Todd Viney is running their football department.  Sound familiar?

So, extending the "New Hope" theme I can imagine the following:

Obi-Wan Kenobi - Peter Jackson

Luke Skywalker - Paul Roos

Chewbacca - Max Gawn (but only if he had his beard by then?)

Darth Vader - I'm loath to say Mark Neeld as I think he was on our side, even if he wasn't a success.  

Han Solo???? 

Who else???

I would have considered Neeld more of an Admiral Ozzel.

I know Star Wars is the movie you are referring to but I have never seen it.

I think you will need to find someone to play the key protagonist in the Paul Roos signing.

Someone to play Kevin Dyson.

Agree Rod was a shame for Nev Jetta, Nathan Jones and of course Jayden Hunt they were all great servants of the club.

SONS, at the time undisclosed sources 'reported', somewhere on the cutting floor was a pilot trailer for a proposed Starwars interquel, tentatively titled The Architect of Doom. Fortuitously, the franchise (the AFL) 'ensured' it would never see the light of day.

Six trailer or teaser?  Clocked in at 4 seconds!

Anyways loved the mystery and romanticism of the accompanying musical choice. Star Wars is obviously passé with Isaac Asimov now the inspiration but who is l,Robot?

This was the year that the foundations were well and truly laid. Three more names were added to the list of those still standing.  I took a lot of footage in 2015, so it will take some time to sort through.

    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
