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.

Man of steel.  As Adzman said above, pound for pound he'd have to be up there with the toughest in the league over many seasons now.

When you get up close he's not a big fella by any means but the bod is all muscle and ripped.  The amount of work required to upkeep that... wow!

I'm sure he was duly lead by the Jones boy (among others) who laid down the foundations of what's required to play at the highest level... and consistently at that.

He constantly lets his footy do the talking.  A great leader by example.

I see traits of Viney coming through in the likes of Sparrow at times (when playing through the middle).

Hats off to you Vins.  I salute you...one of the all time greats of the mighty Demons 👏🏼💪🏼🍻

The true mark of Jack is how he took his captaincy demotion. Happy to lead the same way, continued as vice, never sooked and re-signed a year or so later long term. That is leadership.

Does anyone know what level Jack is at. I know he doesn't say anything about it. But i would expect he would be close to a Black Belt, but it could be more including being more than a Dan.

Can someone more tech savvy than me please post the awesome Jack moment from round 18 last year (that insane match vs the Lions at the ‘G) where Jack wrenches the ball from McInerney’s hands and goals narrowing the margin to five points. The match that many Dees fans left before it ended coz… who’da thunk???!!!😅

Please and thanks!

Viney is a genuine tough footballer. 

He is no sniper, nor is he a choose your moment hard man. He plays the same way all game, every game - see ball , get ball regardless of who is in the way.

He provides team lifting , match winning moments by example.

Every team needs a Jack Viney. Thankfully he is a red and blue blood.

Up there with the toughest Demons I have seen in 50 years. In fact I can't think of one tougher.

 

Thanks for your efforts Jack. You have almost single handedly dragged this club back from its darkest days to the powerhouse it is today.

My two favourite Viney moments - one is that tremendous goal after wrenching the ball off McInerny. But the other, which I only heard about, was from before he played AFL. He was playing under age in the VFL and, as we know, there are often some pretty seasoned older players in that comp. One of them - I think from Geelong- hit Jack, then aged 16 or 17, and broke his jaw. Was Jack intimidated? - no, he wanted to go on with it!!

His father was a great player. Jack is better.

I hope he has lots of kids!!

Todd was awesome. A Silver to Gold Version of Tom Sparrow. Kicking was always a worry.Jay was tougher than tough, Not sure why he left? Maybe too slow.

Robbie Flower met Todd at the Airport in 1986 wearing a full Safari Suit, as an ice breaker , and took him to Robbies joint for the day and night. Todd was A demon from then on and helped Robbie play in his first finals and the clubs first in 23 years.

Todd rebuilt us culturally before 21. Tod hated Neeld.

Premium Family royalty for the Dees. BArassi, Cordner and Vineys. Hard to split.

One man has made a career of being a tough as nails competitor, the other has made a career of ducking his head. Just ask him.

Love that Jack has always been such a a clean skin. Never had any off field controversies, never needed some idiotic bogan haircut or a swathe of tough stickers either.

The point of this vid from Saturday is how Maysie got tangled up in banner tape. 😅But, just as Jack was about to run through the banner I yelled out, “Go Jack!” and he waved to me. A small thing, yes. But a big thing considering we all yell out to them and because they’re all pumped and focussed and raring to go they rarely acknowledge it. Jack is one of those players who never stops appreciating us, even in his 199th game. ❤️💙

    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
