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.

Was Travis injured during last weeks game?

Because according to 774 ABC news this morning, they said that "Aaron Davey and Travis Johnstone look set to play against Collingwood on Monday"

Could this explain his average game?

Foot, leg, ankle? Think something has been troubling trap below the waist, not sure what though.

Well if he is set to play, clearly it isn't too bad.

He is definitely carrying something though.

Just read that Shaw and Clement are out, while Presti is in doubt and obviously so is Buckley (if he plays, get Carroll to tackle him at the first bounce and he's out of there).

I'm looking forward to Robbo dominating, now that Clement is not playing.

Como's out for four, he's screwed his foot. Good news about Shaw, he's a damaging player and thought ten days would have been enough to get over a corky.

All-Australian defender James Clement and Heath Shaw are both out of contention, with their respective calf and corked-thigh injuries.

Paul Licuria, who tore a hamstring in Round 4, trained at top pace in his bid to convince the selectors his one game back with Williamstown last weekend is enough preparation to earn a recall.

Key defender Simon Prestigiacomo was again missing with a continuing foot problem, but he is expected to take his place in the side.

According to The Age, Johnno just has "general soreness".

Which means anything from a broken bone, to OP, to pulled muscle, to toothache, to "we're trying to confuse Collingwood".

'General soreness' is probably the most useless injury term in AFL.

Which player doesn't have general soreness at Round 11?

is it just me or given that the games on monday is it not a long time away to be ruling out a player with a corky?

That's what I would have thought and it's been alluded during the week that he was going to pull up.

Not at all, the corky Shaw got was very severe. He probably still has bleeding in his leg and would be finding even walking difficult.

The stats surely tell the story.

Game time v Adelaide = 54%.

If he were 100% fit, that would be >80%.

    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
