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.


Good news week (positive news only)

We don’t have exact $ figures yet but we sold every last Gussy helmet, with every dollar going to the Danny Frawley Centre. One awesome couple bought 30 helmets ($600) but didn’t collect them, instead telling us to sell them again. Another generous person bought 10 but only collected one and asked that the others be given to folks in our bay who for whatever reason didn’t have one. Then there was some who paid more than the set price. Demons supporters are amazing ❤️💙

Danielle Frawley was very grateful…

Hats off to TMac and BBB, they really showed something. I wonder what the staff see in TMac over Tomlinson, similar output I would of thought.

I rewatched the game last night and TMac's performance was absolutely sublime. He's far ahead of Tomlinson imo.

Having Gus on the bench as the conduit between coaches and players on match days will be a big boon for our playing group - Starting tomorrow.❤️💙💕

Definitely!

He'll need to tag team carefully with Choco, though, I think?

Another good news week possibility. Pies are facing the prospect of going 0-3. Saints are no walkovers and coming off a loss, will want to make up for it. Expect another solid hit-out and the real possibility of a 'premiership hangover' media narrative developing over the Pies.

But they loved the “blues bros” - couldn’t get enough of that tripe 

You hit the nail on the head the AFL and 7 would rather push that whole Maynard fiasco under the carpet 

I hope he cops it in every game he plays and I would love JV to run straight through him (legally of course) when he fronts up to us next time

This is what I suspect, too. The helmets are a reminder of the AFL  at the tribunal in their attempt to appear as though they were serious about head trauma, only to dish up a half-arsed performance coz Collingwood. That’s how I see it.

I watched the replay yesterday and was disappointed to see that after only one of *our goals they showed the cheer squad as opposed to after almost every goal in other matches, and even then because of all the flags and giant heads waving, the helmets weren’t visible. It’s a shame because we may well have raised more $ for the Danny Frawley Centre had we been given exposure.

* The WB cheer squad were shown after three of their goals which is also less than usual. I guess the idea was to even things up. 🤷‍♀️

They did look awesome, but happy that we only have to see them when Carlton play in Brisbane. What sch!tts me no end is that they were QLD-based Carlton members wearing matching ($165) outfits just for the spectacle of it. Our display was to raise $ and awareness for a very important cause, yet the cameras lapped them up and ignored us.

Keep selling them before games at the MCG. Eventually they’ll be enough of them they can’t be avoided

Thanks WCW we are involved with a corrupt organization in my view The commentators made no mention of the helmets I'm guessing  they need their jobs

    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.

    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
