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 to see Miller, Buckley, CJ and Frawley maintain their spots. We need to give them the chance to develop and in some cases show if they can make it. Now to seasons end is a perfect time to do this.

N.B Did not see your post SS.

yep expected this would be the only change.

Interesting that moloney is in the emergencies, may be a late swap? Holland, Moloney and Garland are the named emergencies.

Ashley McGrath comes in for Colm Begley is the only change the lions have made too.

getting excited now :)

And Miller holding down the Full Forward spot nicely. Who would have thought.

He was named there last week too. Only time I saw him up forward was when Robbo ripped the ball out of his hands for a mark 15m out. Still expect him to have first go at J Brown.

No real surprises - Moloney will probably come in if Bruce doesn't get up, and one of the other two if Carroll doesn't

I just read an article with riley talking to the media today and he said he hoped bruce would be right to play, so yeah your spot on if bruce dont get up moloney will be sure to take his place.

I found another funny quote also by riley, concerning carrol " not sure about nathan, he kind of always looks concussed so its hard to tell" hahah

Happy with the team, although I expected Pickett to be named in the 25 instead of Moloney. Very happy that Moloney is named though, I think he's a good player.

Haha, gold.

I wonder how they get on - I read on this forum that Riley had told Carroll to ditch the headband.

All will be revealed on the flight tomorrow.

Depending on which emergency travels to Brisbane, we will know whether Bruce or Carroll are in doubt.

Good change. We've run out of players, and now the side can finally settle ;)

Expect Miller to start on Brown, with Newton at FF.

Amazing isn't it :o !!!

That sounds fairly logical........

As good as Bizz has been (named at CHB), he is not really in the same weight division has Brown, unfortunately.

Also it would be the supreme challenge for Miller.

On sen greg deenham said he highly doubts bruce will play and the news is he is not over the hammy

Do we know which emergency flew up to Brisbane?

If Bruce is out, I hope Moloney plays. Just to prove to all the doomsayers that he isn't finished at the highest level because of his ongoing OP.

I've heard from a source outside of the media that he won't play either, will be interesting if it's true.

    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
