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.

Poor old Heath Neville, the forgotten man.

During yesterdays telecast Commettie (sp?) said somthing like if you are healthy on Melbournes and still not getting a game then you'd be wondering.

Clint Bartram played one game this year after overcoming his ankle injury, then did his knee at training! :(

Of the players who haven't played this year, 4 are rookies who can't be elevated as we've missed the cut-off date.

Weetra has been injured most of the season, and Neville is still playing in the Sandy reserves.

We're pretty much down to 24 players to select from this weekend.

Correct. Good work Jaded, Bartram did play a game before injury this season.

Wasn't aware of this, when was the cut-off date?

Any word on Bruce's injury? Channel 7 said it was a hamstring at training but nothing more.

It must be this week, if this is correct, since I heard one of the other clubs has elevated a rookie for next match.

Alwyn Davey's on the long term injury list which allows Rama to stay on the senior list.

We've got lots of long term injuries so it's :wacko: why we don't elevate Neaves. The best of the rookies and the only deserving.

Is money the issue again as mfc can't scrounge up a few dollars to pay Neaves?

I fail to see the point in upgrading someone simply for the sake of it.

Neaves is way behind White & PJ in the pecking order. I wouldn't drop one of them for the sake of bringing in Neaves - what would it achieve? Not much IMO.

Can see why people want to see youngsters, but it's going a bit far.

wouldn't mind giving shane neaves or even jace bode a go if we are really down to numbers.

A definite yes to Neaves. He's been very, very good at Sandy and I think a taste of AFL footy would just encourage him to work even harder. Not sure about Bode though.

also only 4 have played full years

carroll,white,davey and junior are only ones to play full year, with carroll injured apaprently, that leaves 3 in

whites played 85 games in a row as well

You'd think based on these numbers, and the way our best&Fairest is voted on, that Junior would be a short

priced favorite to defend his prize...

True but Neaves is a playa i like to try. White's not a ruckmen anymore. He's a tall midfielder who can jump.

Fair enough, but it seems Jamar is being picked in front of Neaves for Sandy this week and it's a big step up.

I imagine Neaves will be on the list next year, so I'm sure he'll get a chance if he's good enough.

They also started Newton on the bench a couple of weeks ago

I think Sandringham has at least one key forward not eligible to play for MFC while Jamar and Neaves are only competing against each other.

Anyhow, I was just using at as an illustration of Neaves' stocks compared to PJ and White - right now he's a long way back, regardless of what some may say about White's ability as a ruckman.

    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
